I am currently working on a regency outfit! It's very different from what I usually sew, but it's been fascinating so far!

Hi! As someone who's been sewing for years, I am really impressed with your projects and willingness to experiment! I meet so many people who say they want to learn how to sew but are scared to try because they might make mistakes - like, yeah, obviously there will be mistakes, how else will you...

Not to rain on your parade, but wouldn't the snaps be uncomfortable when swimming? Not to mention kinda visible? Since a rash guard should be tight fitting, I would worry that the fabric will pull and you'll have gaps between the snaps? I think there was a thread where someone was looking for an...

A baby's head is one of its largest surfaces of skin when compared to the rest of the body, so they can lose a lot of body heat through their head, and since they're not great at regulating their own body temperature yet, you really want to put a hat of some sort on them. And a bonnet just so...

Is it possible to take it apart partially and only taking off the bars? So you're left with a frame to put the mattress on, which you can then drape blankets over? I don't know how your crib in particular works, but in some cribs with round bars, the bars are loose, I think. Maybe you could even...

I really like essie nail polish, it dries quickly and lasts pretty long, even for me, and I am notorious for chipping my nail polish within two hours of applying it. It's a tad pricy, but worth it, in my opinion, if you plan to wear it in your day to day life. If you just want a polish for...

As a cis woman, this thread is a bit...distressing? I am not a big fan of the whole "you're only beautiful and feminine if you have no hair below the eyebrows". It's been hammered into my head since I was a pre teen and I am still trying to unlearn the shame I feel when going out in clothing...

They're still not bad, a friend of mine ordered from them recently and the shipping was reasonable for the amount they ordered. They only warn to go through full checkout and not paypal directly, else you'll be charged vat. But they're good if you're looking at trying different brands, they sell...

Practice, practice, practice. August is a few months away, so you definitely have time to figure out the eye makeup. I don't use makeup often, but when I use bright colours, I like to apply the eye shadow with my fingers first and then use a fluffy brush to blend it out, so it's a bit like...

I think the closest you're gonna get is by using a meal replacement drink because that's the equivalent to baby formula, I'd say. I got one recently where one portion is 250ml, but that's a diet shake with only 200 calories per serving, so let's double that to make a proper meal, so...about...

So, from what little Chinese I can recall that reads "Yue yuan jie jie" or Big Sister Yue Yuan (or moon yard big sister, but I am choosing to read the moon yard as a name because otherwise those two characters don't make sense), which I'm guessing is a brand name. But I also can't make out the...

Yeah, as long as you don't mind people looking at you, you can definitely dress in an attention-grabbing way. Heck, just look at alternative fashion styles. There's no rule that says you have to blend in. I certainly don't. Though there are some lines that I don't like to cross, and that...

Oooooh, I think they're some kind of joghurt drink. I've seen many similar stalls (though not with baby bottles) in Taiwan.

Going slightly off thread, but working with toddler sewing patterns recently, I've noticed that a lot of them curve down a lot at the front to account for that cute chunkiness! (and dresses have waistlines waaaaaay high up, so the skirt floofs out above the chunk, even higher than this dress :P)
