Update that nobody asked for: We were talking about books on here one night and I said I had started The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo and I have now finished it.
The verdict is that I liked it well enough, it was interesting but overall, I didn't like it nearly as much as Ninth House, HOWEVER the last 100ish pages were incredible and I wish the entire book had been as good as the last 100 pages. It's not one that I'm probably going to read again or am going to be aggressively yelling that people should read, BUT if you like historical fiction / historical fantasy, it could be worth the read. If you're planning on physically buying it, the hardcover edition is also very pretty with the sprayed edges.
#allylikethecat#ally's book recs#ally talks about books#also fun fact that was the 11th book i read this year#i was so proud of myself then i found out Nurse C is on book 36#and my cousin who im super close with just finished book 26#BUT 11 is good too right?#my goal is 25 for the entire year#the familiar#leigh bardugo#the cover is pretty#and so are the sprayed edges#i am a sucker for sprayed edges

This is what I ended up with :)
#the recipe says to bake it covered with sprayed foil#but i don't have cooking spray so i think it would stick#and i couldn't get it on without messing up the edges#so im not doing that 🤪 hopefully it doesn't burn lol#she was a baker girl

why is so much of sewing just tracing and cutting and tracing again q_q i see why people get projectors and use adobe illustrator now
#drawing up a design that i can easily pattern from my sloper: 😊#actually having to make the pattern by tracing and cutting ad infinitum: 😰#piecing together printer paper to get a big enough sheet of paper and doing this ten million times: 🥲😭#not to mention the IRONING.... prewashing the fabric and having to iron 8 yards of fabric???? excuse me????#and then distorting it as i iron bc it has a slight stretch and i got so tired i stopped being careful 2 yards in#and the way that you're supposed to press every seam... excuse me... am i just supposed to have my iron heated and on standby at all times#AND THE STEAM??? i just got stay tape the other day and thought it'd be a neat alternative to stay stitching#BUT IT NEEDS STEAM TO ACTIVATE (which okay makes sense) BUT long story short i'm too afraid to use the steam function#on my iron because none of us are sure if water should go back into a tank that's been in disuse for 30+ years#so instead i get this water spray pen and delicately spray down the length of each piece of stay tape#before i cover it with a piece of gauze and iron it. and then i have to iron it extra so all the water actually evaporates#oh and the spray pen holds as much water as half a pen so i have to walk to the kitchen every 10 sprays to refill it#and i have to do this for every curved edge on my pattern pieces#i mean the alternative is just stay stitching but then i would have to calibrate my settings for a single layer of fabric instead of double#which means i have to switch my needle out more and i'm still new enough that sometimes i install a needles wrong despite going through#all the same exact motions that i usually would. i'm LITERALLY suffering out here. anyway can't wait to sew or whatever#oh and did i mention i went to a sewing meetup recently? yeah...#everyone there bought like $30-$100/yard fabric and i was there awkwardly knowing i only buy like $12/yard fabric#honestly though i have the opposite problem people usually joke about. i find it So hard to find fabric i actually like#it needs to be the right fiber + right color + right pattern/texture + right weight + i have to know exactly what i'm going to make with it

unpopular opinion i think but man.. i am already sick of this willy nilly sprayed edges shit
#i remember when soc came out and the edges were sprayed black and it was SICK#but that was like a decade ago. and its gotten out of hand#like i get it if its a really pretty special edition with art that ties into the theme.#but if you're just adding bright colors to add bright colors? stop please...#or at least offer both side by side#i get that it allows you to charge more but it also makes me want to throw up 9 times out of 10 so#jules talks (and talks)

I’m gonna personally chew the sprayed edges off of all paperbacks. There. Now you have deckled edges. You’re welcome.
#I have a lot of feelings about this#hardback first was a dying star and books should go straight to paperback if you want readers to be able to afford them#but the publishing industry doesn’t like that idea (less money) so 4th wing gets successful and they go#hey! let’s make all the books pretty! that way they’re ~special editions~ and people will pay for them#and sometimes it is pretty!#but then the straight to paperback releases go wait! we want to be coveted too!#but sprayed edges on paperbacks get scuffed and the ink bleeds and it will come off on your shelves!#it’s sloppy and it’s ugly and all of it is money-grabbing anyway!#let people get a special edition for a book they really care about#after they’ve already read the paperback#books#publishing industry

All eleven pieces of my Yule dress cut out and ready for sewing!
And the swiffer-type dust cloth I used to wipe down all the velvet fuzzies after cutting out each piece. Despite my best efforts there's still velvet lint everywhere, and probably will be until this project is done, lol.
#my sewing#velvet Yule dress#2024 mood#fwiw the sleeves are laid on top of the skirt -- but upside down with the shoulder near the end of the skirt#and I _still_ can't see any difference in the nap on this velvet#I might have been able to squeeze the pieces in slightly tighter if I was really confident about the no-nap situation#but even cutting everything with the same end of the fabric as the 'up' I still ended up with a nice buffer of left over fabric#just long enough to re-cut a piece or two if I really needed to. but thankfully I don't think I'll have to#there were a couple of little marks on the velvet from where I hung the fabric while it was wet after I handwashed it#I managed to avoid cutting a piece directly on top of any of them -- or so I thought#then I found a little round marred spot right below the waist on one side-front panel#pretty visible and the sort of thing I would notice all the time even if no one else would#so I thought about re-cutting that panel and checked to make sure I had enough fabric#but then I thought: why not at least try to iron out that spot before trashing the whole panel?#since it's already been washed the key is getting it wet again and then ironing it on a velvet board with zero pressure just heat and steam#so I used a little spray bottle to put water just right where the spot was (spraying on the back) and then steamed it dry with my iron#with the fabric face-down on the velvet board. by the time the water was all steamed off the spot was completely gone!#so thankfully I don't have to re-cut anything. which means that I have enough left over for another small project or two later on#next step on this project will be doing a little stay-stitch ~1/8'' in from the edge of the fabric#and then I can start pinning pieces together and sewing the long princess seams#I am so excited to make this pile of fabric into an actual dress! :D
