First I'll point out that there's a standing gentle administrative request that we not use real names on here habitually, because it promotes cliquishness. The reason for THAT is, much as one would not dare to deviate from the formal 'Sie' when addressing a Bavarian baroness until one was explicitly invited, the casual use of a first name, no matter how obvious it might be from the username structure, implies we have some degree of personal connection. Yes people do it, mostly it's people who I know from outside the forums in some way, mostly they only do it occasionally (ie when it's funnier).
I've noticed you've taken to pretty much exclusively calling me 'nic', and I gotta say, one-sided drops of real names into forum contexts can give off a whiff of the overly familiar. Or to put it another way, that's kind of creepy. Or to put it a third way
Absolutely not, and I apologize as I didn't actually know that was your real name, but forum shorthand given how often I see it used. I'll edit my posts.
These winter/snow Uggs were on sale and look how cute!
Edit: His pants are off because he fell in a puddle and soaked them.
It’s 47 degrees Fahrenheit and raining and Niko ran through the rain and jumped in the puddles and wasn’t even fazed when he slipped and fell and landed in water. I think he’ll be fine in Washington!
My problem is I am both highly critical of my appearance, and highly critical of things I make myself, and the combination tends to work out.....poorly
But maybe if I start with easier patterns rather than shooting for the moon as I usually do, it might turn out okay? Hmm.

I think I would start with a tote bag or something. though I want to make my own messenger bag since the two I have are cheap ones and not super big of durable.
The leggings ended up so comfortable, though, that I didn’t mind, then as I wore them it became obvious no one else could see the imperfections.
I have had to fix a few things. Reinforce the crotches, mainly, but a couple of times the leg seams have popped. It’s actually quite good learning to fix clothes, it’s helped me a) realize it’s easier than I thought and b) given me a useful skill... and it’s slowly getting me to be a little less wasteful.
I thought I’d end up throwing out my early, flawed pairs once I’d started to make them with consistent quality, but I actually still wear them. I still receive compliments on them (leggings get compliments even if you’re fat, like me). It really did help me realize that the flaws are only visible to me.
But, I did have some of the fabric sitting in my basket for over a year before I dared touch it. It certainly was daunting!
StraightziHere we may reign secure, and in my choice,To reign is worth ambition though in HellRegistered Userregular
Sew it on.
Like, safety pins are fine for a temporary thing, but it's easier for the patch to get pulled off or caught on things or whatever. And then you have an open safety pin around somewhere, and let me tell you, they're not very safe when they're like that. So if you know where you're gonna want it for sure, sew it down.
Unless we're talking like, full back patches, in which case you do the pins and switch it out depending on which show you're going to.
I bought a patch for my jacket and am debating the merits of trying to sew vs safety pins, the punk life
"safety" pins don't sound very punk to me
You have no idea how upset I am that the internet doesn't have any pictures of that goodies episode where Tim Brooke Taylor has a safety pin through his entire head.

I've used this one for so long that it feels too personal to give up.
Ok you think you're being cute.

Do I fucking know you?
Also I had to explain to my dad what steampunk is and now he just says everything is steampunk
Like wasn’t punk originally formed in a reaction against disco?
Booooooooo
That's why Discopunk is so damn gooooooooooooood...
That's just what Malcolm McLaren wants you to think
