Try to deal gracefully with the heat but also got a load of household and admin tasks I need to take care of that I’ve been putting off for way too long…

I never did, my mind was blown when I was old enough to comprehend that misogyny was a thing and women were still fighting for equality. My mum was always a very strong woman, didn’t adhere to traditional gender roles, took no shit from men etc. So really I’ve not ever changed my position.

Rosé

Honestly not sure. I had cuddly toys that I loved, as a child I had a doll called Timmy that you could give a bottle to. As I got older i liked playing with some more creative type things, like these plastic beads that could be linked into chains and later I loved those little plastic cylindrical beads you placed into a set pattern then ironed to melt them together. Also loved scoubidous when a bit older, still have a few as keyrings.

I feel the lyrics of What it means to be a girl are pretty related to this post.

Not all men but always a man

Pfft, wait until millennials are in nursing homes with no responsibilities and we will get those numbers through the roof. Us old girls will be single handedly propping up the cheap sweet rosé industry.

Dunno, they already have protein obsessions from other sources to make up for it.

Honestly this genuinely feels like something I could actually sell. The pattern is pretty simple and it could even be easily modified to use rivets instead of sewing to cut down on time. Definitely something I’ll keep in mind!

So I’m doing both. Going to roll the top ‘tab’ to allow a split ring or swivel clasp (undecided) and going to rivet a belt loop to the back. I completed my draft/proof-of-concept piece yesterday and it is exactly what I wanted! It took a while to draft as its a weird shape and I chose to do it as a single piece in a way to show off my favourite decoratively functional stitch on the front. Normally I design entirely on my computer but this needed paper drafting and fettling.

Also what was really designed purely as a joke got a ton of positive feedback from two people really into their lego who saw it and thought it was not only a thoughtful project but genuinely useful to always have one of these on hand!

Now onto the final one!

Glad you like them! I actually have a plan for a mini project to complete for this Sunday, its a friend’s birthday and he loves lego so was thinking of making something that is usless but funny - a little holster for a lego brick separator. Debating between making it a keyring or with belt loops (or both!).

Floral patterns. Took me a while to find brands that used flowers part of a more alternative aesthetic and less ‘frilly feminine’.

Still learning so I really just practice a bunch of things to try new techniques but I enjoy making small goods like purses and bags. If you look at posts I’ve made you can see some of them. I make my own patterns and as I learn more things and want to make more complex items the construction becomes much more complicated - order of construction is really important to reduce unnecessary stitch lines, making the presentable side of the stitch on the correct side, keeping things flat to keep holes aligned etc.

I really need to get back into it, I’m really proud of some of my stuff and had really good feedback. I plan to make a new belt (i like wearing one with certain dresses) as my Primarni one is getting tatty.

I guess its a bit more nuanced. Sometimes it might be dislike because of society taboos of going without one. But there are good parts, they can make you feel good about yourself, push-ups exist and are popular for a reason. As somebody without a huge amount to work with I do enjoy the shape and silhouette a good one can give even if its not the most comfortable thing in the world.

I basically live in bralettes if I’m at home. I’m very much not top heavy but I like the little bit of support and nip padding. I also kind of wear them like a crop top rather than pajama tops in bed.

I’m pretty happy in a bra during the day but totally get how annoying it must get if there is a lot more weight put into those straps.

Because its all the media tell them to concentrate on as the biggest threat to their existence (other than if your skin is the wrong colour). The major UK newspapers published on average 9 articles every single day on the topic of trans people. Thats 17,000 articles in 5 years. And people seem to lack the critical thinking to see this and see it for what it is.

Just got back from a nice weekend trip to see my godmother with an impromptu shopping trip with my friend I’ve not seen in months so that was nice at least. I need to get back into a creative mood, I make things from leather but I’ve been slacking on it and found it hard to get back into the swing of things.

Definitely the subject of the gesturing
