50p sheet into an entire holiday outfit!

Yep. Fifty pence in a charity shop, you literally can't go wrong.

I made this over the summer in preparation for our big family holiday, and remember I had to ask for help with gathering over at @sewing because it was being a nightmare and I am a noob. Worked out pretty well in the end, though! (Thank you Lemmy folks for the advice)

Lots of firsts with this skirt! Well, two firsts. I put pockets into a pattern that didn't have them, and also drafted a curved waistband so it would actually fit. Felt pretty pro after all that, I won't lie 😎

Patterns are the Cali Skirt and Ellie Bralette from https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/NHPATTERNS, and I was about to shoutout @wisbr for enabling me with that link in the first place, but she seems to have gone and now I'm sad 😢

The same outfit from the previous photo, but now modelled by me, an early middle-aged white woman with long brown hair and glasses. I have my hands in the skirt pockets and am swooshing it about, showing off the two slits in the front. I look pretty pleased with myself!

siliril,

The slits and the pockets!! 😍 love that dress! Great work turning that old sheet into something awesome.

What is your comfort activity (like comfort food)?

Mine is playing AOE2 in easiest (or standard if I want a bit of challenge) mode against 3 bots. I just build my economy, wall up (and laugh at the enemy soldiers attacking my walls in vain), reach imperial age and attack once my army reaches the population limit. I also send 104 in the chat so they don’t surrender and I can...

siliril,

I watch the anime gurren lagann. It’s a stupidly chaotic optimistic show that basically asks “but what if humanity really could do anything?”

Answer: we would throw around galaxys like frisbees in giant space robots.

So when I’m down I like to watch it and think maybe I can do anything if I believe.

siliril,

Glad I’m not the only one whose Gale has a dragon hoard of scrolls. No matter that half the party and Tav has dark sight, I might need that dark sight scroll!!

siliril,

Aww I have pet rats and absolutely need to know where you got that adorable rat sticker! Would be so cute while I’m sewing their little hammocks.

siliril,

I had really enjoyed the ea of BG3 so I’m pumped to play the full game! After two hours I’m pleased to say I made my character. Lol.

siliril,

This looks so ridiculous that I thought it was photoshopped. Just Ctrl c - Ctrl v that bad boy right in the middle of the forest green carpet.

siliril,

Mods could have forced reddits hand. If they had all striked and stopped modding at the same time. Leave it open, leave it up. But every single mod just walk away and watch reddit try desperately to backfill thousands of mod teams. But they played games instead cause they didn’t want to lose power or thought their little subreddit was important.

siliril,

I’m using it on my phone, but still browsing Reddit on PC. Going well so far and I assume as I find more communities on Lemmy that I enjoy my use of reddit will slowly decrease.
