For my birthday this year I finally made this dress wearable again!

I made this dress a couple years ago and accidentally made the elastics at the waist too tight (which made the dress very uncomfortable to wear). I sometimes really dread alterations and keep procrastinating on them for no real reason.

I only removed the elastics from the waist part and haven't added new (less tight) ones yet. The dress is already wearable as is, though I noticed another problem: I didn't have lots of fabric when I made this dress and the patchwork bodice is a bit shorter than usual for this pattern. So now this annoys me and I think about elongating the bodice somehow... sigh... would be a lot of work though!

[id]5 pictures in total.

Picture 1: a group selfie featuring three young white women (including OP). Two of them have brown hair and the third one brightly dyed red hair. OP is in the middle: a fat woman with glasses, wearing her brown hair open with two small decorative braids framing her face. She's wearing a green patchwork dress, mixed with cream coloured fabric with pink roses on it and white fabric with pink/violett hearts and green ornaments on it. The bodice is finished with cream-coloured lace bias binding. She's wearing a flower crown with green vines and white, pink & magenta coloured flowers on it (a birthday present from a friend from some years ago).

Her brown-haired friend is a bit chubby as well, with a short braid. She's wearing a cheerful yellow top with white daisies on it! She's wearing fancy brown macrame style earrings. Unfortunately her beautiful tree necklace made with buttons is not visible in the picture, you can only see the leather string of the necklace.

The third friend is thin and slender, but also sharing something with OP: she's also wearing glasses. She's wearing a pink bow in her red hair, as well as a pink "tattoo style" elastic necklace. She's wearing an off-white crochet shawl lent to her by OP over her white shirt.

The women are all smiling, it's clearly a happy day!

Picture 2: A close-up of the patchwork dress turned inside out. It shows the middle part, made of green gingham with the too-tight elastic still sewn into it.

Picture 3: A close-up of the bodice and waist-part of patchwork dress being worn with the too-tight elastic removed from the waist.

Picture 4:

An almost full body shot of OP: a young fat white woman with glasses and long brown hair. She's wearing most of her hair open and it falls in a wave over her shoulders. Two thin decorative braids frame her face and give her an elven look. One of the braids is tangled with the strap of her sand-coloured crocheted bag in this picture. The bag is decorated with a green bow with a floral pattern on it! She's wearing a flower crown with white, pink and magenta coloured flowers on it, they are made from wire and nailpolish (an old birthday present from a friend of hers). The star of the show is the patchwork dress: made out of green fabric with a gingham pattern (there are darker green patches and lighter green patches), green gingham patches with flowers printed on it, creme coloured patches with pinkish roses on them and green patches with pinkish roses on them. Mixed with it is a white fabric with violet coloured hearts and green ornamental swirls on it and a cream-coloured fabric covered with strips of lace. The lace fabric has also been turned into bias tape for the binding of the neckline and the arm holes of the dress. The dress is decorated with side gores made out of the white fabric with violet coloured hearts on it. The gores are decorated with a thick green lace. Yellow lacy sleeves of a shirt are visible under the bodice of the dress and a amber coloured bracelet can be seen on the left wrist. The woman is standing in front and among some lush greenery (trees and bushes), adding to the elfen look of her outfit.

Picture 5: A full body shot of the above described woman. She's standing on a path next to some hedges and trees. The picture is blurred - like you were trying to take a picture of some otherwordly fae perhaps...?[/id]

I decided to make stuffed shells with my homemade ricotta cheese. I made a mixture of the ricotta cheese and parmesan reggiano, pecorino romano, asiago, mozzarella, and an egg, along with garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. I then stuffed the shells, placed them in a baking dish with my homemade marinara sauce, and baked it. It came out very, very well!! 😍��� it was so good that I ate 5 stuffed shells. I'm very full. I'm, also, very happy 😊 😃 I love Italian food!!! ❤️ It's fun to make and even more fun to eat!! 😋😋😋

I did!! something else!! for pride month!! (I am horrifically disappointed in myself but the month's not over yet!!)

I'm not happy with this one either but I had to do WinterWidow as "totally hetero couple" lol the idea struck me and I just had to do it.

Pride Month 2024 Headcanons part two: WinterWidow

Natasha Romanov is very ace-spectrum-coded to me, and I tend to think that demisexual fits her best. I really don't have a good reason for that but that's the nice thing about headcanons. I really don't have to justify them. Anyway, Nat is demisexual heteroromantic.

Bucky Barnes is bi. I think he's a little more bi in the MCU than in the comics but honestly there's no doubt in my mind that this man is queer.

I put "couple" in quotation marks bc all my Pride Month Headcanons are canon to Tangled Threads, in which Bucky and Nat aren't really together together. They just live together and act in ways that most people would consider couple-ish and are practically married in everything but name. They're together, they just haven't discussed it.

I intend to do at least one more of these before the end of the month, hopefully two or three.

This is your sign to get a mannequin/dress form for your sewing.

I love this robe. It’s my tea gown and for lounging luxuriously around the house in the cooler months. It’s also too long for use as anything but a photo prop. I step on it while walking and that makes me not want to wear it.

I’d considered removing the bottom ruffle but didn’t want to lose the trim look.

This week, a dress form popped up on my local Buy Nothing group. By sheer luck, it was my size. Now, it’s in rougher shape - the covering is loose and I’ll need to reglue it, I had to disassemble the neck portion to get it to work, and there are some broken clips I’ll need to make out of Sugaru.

But look at this! I can fold the hem in half to fix my dragging problem!

It's also helped me troubleshoot a dress that I was losing enthusiam on and couldn't figure out why. The top is completely off - the neckline goes nearly to my chin, and the arm holes are too high and small. But I can fix that! Now that I can see it!

I have recently been converted to the coffee lover cult. In order to not break my wallet buying coffee everyday, I got the stuff to make it myself!

And I mean I got the least fancy coffee stuff I could get: the biggest containers of instant coffee and hot cocoa mix I could find at Sam's club.

I don't even have creamer, just milk and sugar. And sometimes not even milk. However, the iced coffee I made for myself this morning was absolutely delicious.

I love being able to control the ingredient amounts so its the right level of caffinated and sweet.

My PSA for today: you don't need anything fancy to make good coffee. You don't need to shovel money to coffee shops like Starbucks to get your fix. Sometimes the simple and cheap option does work.

I was in the mood for a cheese pizza, a favorite of mine since I was a child. Being as there are no good pizza places close to me, I made my own. It came out great!! The dough was tender, light, and crispy, and the cheeses were ooey gooey. Perfecto mundo. It's so easy to make a pizza, and it only costs a couple of dollars to do it yourself. I love making pizza!!! I wish I had NY water so I could make pizza like they make there, but this is, definitely, the next best thing to NY pizza 🍕 😋😋😋😍
