Yes I am also on Threadloop but I really want a more visual representation along with the costs which is why I'm trying to do a journal this year.

But this has already happened. So many people can't do basic mending or hem their own pants and rely on fast fashion instead. Lots of people rely on takeout because they can't cook. Basic skills are dying out because they aren't used or taught. 🤷🏻♀️

I am struggling with this right now! Trying my best to think of things that can be made to be adjustable. Elastic waistbands, wrap dresses or outwear as coats generally will always fit as they're designed to be oversized. 😅

It's wash away stabiliser, though I did find it started trying to unstick after a while cause I was quite slow at stitching. 😅 Not sure how to fix that though other than by being better. 🤣

It was one of the subscription patterns but apparently Simplicity has a pattern that's similar? Not sure of the pattern number though.

Thanks, it's so nice and light for summer too with it being in linen. Bonus is it's long enough to wear trackpants and a merino underneath and is cozy for winter too. 😅
