Hm.......

I have NO idea how I should be feeling right now.

It might have been head of the company who answered me, but they were not professional, and while they offered a refund/replacement, they also said this has never happened beforeeeee which is such an unnecessary... lie?

I sent all the pictures and described what was wrong, and they just sent me a short email saying they'd resent the order and "have a great day 😀"...

So I had to twist their arm: "I need more of a response to that," I need their word none of the things wrong would happen twice, I needed tracking... did they even have my order and account info pulled up??!

So then I was finally sent tracking info and a promise, AND a refund, which means I guess I get 8 yards of this stuff for free. But...

Y'know. I shouldn't have to help them respond appropriately, and I didn't need any lies. Just ownership and empathy and full communication.

And doesn't really give me faith that they will even understand what good condition and protection looks like, so for all I know it'll be 4 more yards of fabric that's not as bad as the first but still not good.

🤔🤔🤔

On that note, the only reason I'm buying from this company is because (theoretically) they had what I specifically and desperately needed. I wouldn't recommend them. Go to Mood Fabrics if you need fabric, they are 👌👌👌 Handled their product with love and had good customer service. Free swatches, good coupons. I'll be shopping at Mood in the future for less specific and high maintenance projects. lol

McCalls Sewing Pattern 7470

This is just me talking about sewing so I'll put most of it under the cut.

I made the mistake of buying the fabric BEFORE I had a pattern in mind. I knew I wanted a shirt dress, but wasn't sure what one, and I had this McCalls in my stash and it was in my size (I bought most of my patterns when I was skinnier, and the Big 4 normally stop at 14. You need to buy the 'larger' option (normally 16-24) in their own envelope.

Because I have the worst decision fatigue ever, I figured picking one I had and would fit was easier:

I honestly think I got this free in a magazine many, many years ago as the pattern I have looks different on the front but it's just the same pattern.

My fabric was a DREAM. Like I'm not even gonna lie, I bought 5 yards and I'm seriously thinking about buying more. I love it so much. I got it from Mood, like I'm a proper fashion person. The people who do the Project Runway thing get the fabric from Mood.

It was called Black and Red Buffalo Checks and Animal Silhouettes Peached Cotton, and it cost £5.70 a yard. It feels like flannel and its 100% cotton, which is nice!

I legit love stags and I know this is moose, I don't care. I love it. It's red and black and check and I'm always gonna love that. I never really got over that Avril Lavigne phase of personal style.

So the style of the dress is princess seams, which I'm not SUPER fond of because I like a waist seam because I think its more flattering.

I didn't fit the paper to myself because I was making a mock up out of an old bedsheet. I've always kinda sucked at fitting patterns and I thought this would be a good time to... try? I did okay but there are a few things I'm not happy about.

The pattern instructions were.... pretty typical for McCalls. The Big 4 always give pretty basic steps, which I'm not super fond of as a self taught seamstress*. They tend to be like "insert zipper" which sucks.

The dress did come together pretty easy, but it was time consuming. I was trying to be as careful as possible with cutting and matching notches as I love this fabric so much and this dress took 3 yards.

There was a lot of top-stitching and I was being real careful.

I can't pattern match to save my life and I was also trying to save on fabric, but this was probably the best top stitch I've ever done in my life, because I don't have a twin needle. I've been patting myself on the back for this one for a couple days now.

The collar, which I've struggled with in the past went together nice and easy - so taking my time and checking things a couple times before just jumping in does actually work. Who woulda thunkit?

I cut the yoke on the bias because I wanted it to look a little different and I'm really pleased how it came out.

I was going to add sleeves as well, because I like shirts and I think it's more waerable. However it's been fuckin roasting here and I'm not super excited about wearing a FLANNEL shirt dress in this heat

So I made it sleeveless, which makes me feel like a bad ass.

So it does still need buttons which have now arrived, so I'll be adding them on at some point. I may be putting it off because buttons require button HOLES and that means if I fuck it up its VERY VISIBLE.

It took me about 2 weeks to make this shirt dress. I was trying to do a little every day after work. I took it to Bo's once it was finished and she thinks it looks really good and like something you'd get in a shop, although that might be a Primark, so I didn't push it with my 'give me compliments' vibe. She did also say it made her feel like a lumberjack which is also a GREAT vibe!

Overall, I think this is a decent pattern, but I wouldn't make it again. I do like the end result, and will be adding the sleeves at a later date. I really would expect it to come together without too many issues, but the mock up really was needed as there was a LOT of ease it this pattern in the back and also the top of the bust. I EASILY took out 3 inches from the center back and upper bust area. I've recently read that the best thing to do is to measure the upper bust rather than the waist in Big 4 patterns as this can be a common issue, so I'll remember that next time.

*I use seamstress because I'd love to be a member of the Ankh Morpork guild of seamstresses.

Okay So the 4th was rough with the fact i had to kick someone from my D&d group. No i do not wanna talk about it. 5th was meh because i was still sad but my brain and my friends said i did the right thing. 7th was hyper cause it was my friends sunday session day, i got a commission for baby booties and was also able to buy yarn for a crochet review. Yes juicy couture yarn im coming for ya!

For people who leave under a rock or dont know what im talking about for $200...Juicy Couture is an American casualwear and dress clothing brand based in Arleta, Los Angeles, California. Best known for their velour tracksuits which became a luxury staple in the 2000s, the company was founded by Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor in 1997 and was later purchased by the Liz Claiborne fashion company in 2003. Juicy Couture has turned into a global seller with their velour tracksuits and other fashions that span clothing, denim, handbags, shoes, intimates, swimwear, fragrance, accessories, sunglasses, yoga and babywear...AND IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES BACK IN MIDDLE SCHOOL!

8th i got a Janome Hello Kitty electric sewing machine KT-35 And most of it was in japanese. Thank you home ec teacher for teaching me the basics.

9th i was able to get my FF game updated and talked about making a bridal market for drarf people like me.. Okay im learning how to sew/crochet dresses…and there are SO MANY that are in my etsy cart…i dont know where to begin..25% of them are sewing the other 25% crochet.. MOST VINTAGE!

So i decided to take baby steps with making dresses inspired by the mood fabrics catalogue and amp them up a little.. PLEASE NOTE: if you do want to buy a dress from me in the future..please note im 4'11" and my dress size alone is a 16XL cause im a curvy woman It took me a long time to find a dress form assistant in my size alone. Also HAI brides! If you see me peeking at your dresses and commenting on them.. that means i like them and want consent to use them as inspo for my dresses.. please please PLEASE take that as a compliment.

today though imm getting not only a dice mug but also a mean girls crochet/sewing diary. Im gonna fill it up so much with the coolest sewing and crochet patterns.

Mood! My holiday travel plans were southwest-ed, but the silver lining was I was able to squeeze in a trip to Mood Fabrics. It's a gorgeous store where it is easy to spend *way too much* on exquisite fabrics. I'll take photos of the three silks I bought and share them soon!

Finally went to print one of those 40pg sewing patterns and I jammed my printer. Rip me.

#mood fabrics #I’m blaming them #not the printer #or the fact that I was printing on the back of a big pile of scratch paper #like I was trying to reuse #and not be wasteful #for the planet #you know? #but then it just had to jam halfway through #first jam since I got it two years ago #i followed the instructions and I can’t fix it #so now I have to wait for my dad to get home from work #or I could print the rest on the black and white printer… #not a bad idea #I might do that #Epson

Could I ask for the Complete Fabricator palette? Doesn't really matter with who

Kinda just defaulted to Fabricator for this one! She is simply too fabulous not to draw.

Color palette by @the-valiant-valkyrie !

New Hobbie going on moodfabrics. And picking out fabric for each of the nine houses.....

So fair I have also picked out the perfect necromancer robe for cytherea as duclinea

Look at it....

It's a fucking beach cover up for the only bitch who knew she was going to a beach party

And it could be made in a green floral. Something like this. (Unfortunately I couldn't find a cotton voile with a green colorway entirely composed for poisonous plants like mistletoe and nightshade)

And she could just wear a simple unstructured underdress and wonder around in the most extra bathrobe at the beach like the evil cougar she is.

Dazai, smiling a little too wide at Charles: Underestimate me. That'll be fun.

#ikevamp #ikemen vampire #ikevamp dazai #ikevamp incorrect quotes #i gotta say dazai popped off in his main story route #like the way he reads charles for filth???? #the way he deadass finds out about vlad after like 2 minutes of investigating #i know i joke around but he is more of a chad than most people give him credit for #honestly sometimes i think about the fact that vlad didn't go up against dazai because like #1. yes i don't think he was lying when he said he had no interest in dazai because his desire to live was low #and that basically gives vlad zero leverage because he can be like 'i'll end you' and dazai's like 'lmfao bet get in line after me' #(big mood king) #but i also think that part of it was that dazai cannot be swayed by vlad's hostility or his fabrications as to who he is #dazai is too sharp to be fooled; he was able to tell in seconds that comte bore no ill will to him and the mansion at large #and he was able to sense vlad's discordant and overbearing influence on charles in seconds too #for all that he has the flaw of overwhelming self-reproach #he has such a staggeringly clear view of others' flaws/shortcomings #which in its own way is genius--if he's that brilliant it's no wonder he's so hard on himself #he sees his own issues so acutely it weighs on him like an anvil #i didn't mean for that to become meta but tbh i am fascinated by the way he was written #will say i did also get hot under the collar when he gets cold and pissed/defensive #obsessed with his vibes lowkey #source: incorrect quote generator
