Did A LOT of math to have a satisfying ratio lol. Went from an old pattern of an a-line gathered skirt, like the little images in the instructions, scaled that up to my measurements, cut a metre long piece of fabric and pinned the results to see if i liked it

Actually, the shirt doesn't fit right either lol. I sized up for my bust, but the problem is length, not width... why are commercial patterns sized for people with absolutely no roundness ever? Or at least write "for cups A/B and no butt" on them 😂

Like it's just a bit too tight in the thighs and my butt is apparently too full for what this pattern accomodates 😂 there is a huge dip in the back because of that, and it's maybe the reason the thighs don't fit well? Idk but the length is perfect tho!

My mom bought an ai pattern for a quilt 🥲. When she showed me, all i had to say is "if things don't make sense, ignore it and use your best judgement. The computer who created that didn't make sure the instructions actually work so... 🤷‍♀️"

Like, what quilt pattern maker makes a whole canva poster for each step, first of all. As soon as i saw a page i was like "that's ai" without even having read a single step. Then there is a lot of inconsistencies in the steps and images... sorry mom, i hope the quilt works out anyway T^T

My second halloween fabric order is FINALLY on the move T^T i wanted to give out candies in the halloween PJs, but if i want to do that, i have to speed sew next week in the evenings 🫠

At least my PJ is really simple and i just have the pants left to do. My bf's going to be a button up shirt, that's going to be a bit more time consumming...

My dentist changed clinics :(. My new dentist seems nice enough, though! For the routine exams, i don't care as much, it's when i end up having another cavity that will be the real test 🙈

Making a beef stew with pears(!?), very curious how it's going to taste 👀 i was supposed to also add golden raisins, but i couldn't find those in my grocery store so whatever

As a non advendurous eater, this feels VERY adventurous 😂🙈 at least it's one new ingredient only. If i don't like the pear chunks, i just have to push them aside, it's fine.

I saved that recipe forever ago, maybe in a "let's try meat recipes with fruits" spree. Cooking with apples is absolutely delicious. Never tried anything else yet, i'm 8/10 curious, 2/10 scared 😂

Omg. Sewing tip saturday(?)!! Baste the seam allowance down before forming an elastic casing (or drawstring casing too i would say) so the elastic doesn't catch on it! Wow, i never thought about that but it's genius 😂👌

We raked 8 big paper bags worth of leaves... most of them from everyone else's maple trees 😂 three of our immediate neighbours have big maples. That's A LOT of leaves

Puppy hates her brush so much. The breeder suggested a $90 dollar brush and after seeing it in action, yeah i'm spending that. Hopefully she likes that one better 🫠

Nothing says "i'm throwing hr speak at you so you feel heard, but i'm not listening to you" like "i hear your concerns about X, but if it saves us time, why not do X". 🙄 ok then whatever.

And they've elected a conservative here 🫠 ewww. I really didn't choose a house based on the general political position of the neighbourhood, and that's the part i don't like about it.

Cuffs!!! Not the best application, but fr this fabric is so annoying to manage when it's gathered this full 🫠 it will have to do haha, i'm not redoing them.

I kinda want to buy halloween print cotton to make a pair of pjs but like even 40% off they're like $18/metre... plus taxes plus shipping (and honestly horrible in store hours that really don't fit my schedule so i can't go there during the sale period to avoid shipping and have a better discount..)

From the needle to my thumb, that's all that's left aaaaaahhh next i HAVE to start on the cuffs 😂🫣 i will be good and try the fabric tubes first, and if it doesn't work, then i'll just do thread loops...

I did the loops! I struggled turning them, but in the end i managed to do it~ plus, i saw the perfect buttons on one of my local fabric stores and we do need to go out tomorrow 👀🤞 hopefully they have enough of them in store

Cuffs are ready, i prepared the hem of the dress so i can finish that too, all that will be left to do will be to gather the sleeves, sew the cuffs on, sew the buttons and the jacket closure 👌 just in time for the wedding 🙈

So i am still procrastinating the button loops... 😂 i mean, binding the edges still needs to be done, but i am actively doing that so i'm not doing the damn loops haha

I'm almost done handstitching the ribbon down 🥲 after about 3 hours... why am i like this?? Why can't i accept visible stitching? (Only saying this bc deadline is fast approaching lol, i really prefer invisible hems stitched by hand)

There's a commentary youtuber i really liked the concept of, they make long videos like i prefer... but each and everyone on them, there's one or many parts i super side eye, plus i always completely zone out outside of those parts and can't focus on what they're saying the rest of the video...

And they're not rehashing the same overdone topics either! Like yes please, i want varied topics! But if your analysis is surface level and lazy, i don't trust anything you say! So why would i waste my time, but new topics! Cool concept! Whyyy 🥲 (i'm really disappointed)

I have done most of what i could do that is not the cuffs and the button loops. Tonight, i HAVE to do something about the loops. Big big sigh. I just don't want to go out and buy more stuff x)

Ohhh maybe if i have embroidery floss in the right colour i could make a simple braid? 👀 i just fear my ribbon folded in half will be too stiff for the cuffs since i'm not interfacing them at all...

Going back to the office this week... i'm kinda looking forward to it and kinda not? I'm not going on the same day as i used to and the people are not the same... we will see how it goes 🤞

Peplum is pinned on this so i could see if it looked good and fitted the bodice. i'm really liking the combo with the dress, but this is my last week to work on it 🙈 i need to get a move on oops haha

Sleeve 2 is done and it's seam is also bpund. Tomorrow i will do the peplum so i can finish the center front/collar edge. Then i need to convince myself to make the buttons and buttonloops so i can do the cuffs...

Did a nice little seam binding instead of the felling like i did for the straight seams so i don't mess up the poof! I am now trying to work up the motivation for sleeve 2 😂...
