Another adjust rather than make. I’ve had this dress since I was about 15, I’m now 43. I’ve made many adjustments to it across the last 10 years or so.

Made the straps shorter multiple times so only the strap part of a bra shows at the front. I hate strapless bras so this has been a big issue.
Added pockets.
Taken it in at the waist a few times.
Tried sewing a bra into it last year, didn’t really work so took that out this year.

A person with their hair wrapped in dark blue cloth stands on a wooden deck on a drizzling day. They are wearing a light blue strappy dress with stylised red roses on it. Their hands are in the pockets.

@Tryllesokker I love this! I have a couple soft collar neck braces around my place, I need them for migraines, but I also used to wear them on flights because they work better for sleeping than those stupid neck pillows.

I wash them regularly but they are stained by hair dye and make up. I made “sleeves” for them from shirt sleeves from shirts that are not wearable anymore.

I don’t know why I didn’t think about doing this years ago. The material from my shirt sleeves is more comfortable than the material used for the brace, and I can somewhat color coordinate.

It’s less noticeable when it isn’t “medical device white” (I hate the attention it causes- people get confused when I explain it’s from an injury from 13 years ago, United healthcare wouldn’t pay for disc replacements, so here I am still in pain forever.)

I'm unreasonably proud of finishing the conversion of this kid hauling bike trailer to its second life as a flatbed cargo trailer for our longtail ebikes.

A view of a trailer hitch made out of square steel tubing welded to plate steel flames and bolted to the top of a spicy curry cargo deck in the lower left foreground, with the hitched up trailer in the upper right of the frame. The towing arm of the trailer is also bare steel, roughly welded out of several sections of square tube, while the trailer frame is black painted tubing with a deck of 5 pallet wood planks, sanded, linseed oiled, and lashed to the frame with strips of old inner tube.Photo of the same trailer set up taken from the back of the trailer towards the bike. You can see the decking and lashings more clearly here.

How would you approach painting these speakers?

The original fake wood texture is falling off. Underneath we have glazed particle board. I want to prime it and then paint it with a matte varnish.

Do I need to sand the particle board before applying undercoat? Do I need undercoat to begin with?

7 years ago today I got my written-off Tesla legally back on the road. Sadly it was love at first drive as I was only halfway through my fight with Tesla. Having battled & prevailed to get the info needed for the body repair I was just about to find they'd shut down all fast charging on the car. I cleared that hurdle too, eventually.

It's flea market season! This cotton duvet cover cost me a whooping 40NOK – now it's a super cute blouse for spring. Tutorial by Jess Dang on YT, adapted to fit my curvy/midsize self.

We have a bunch of old (empty, branded) spectacle cases. What can we do with them other than throw them in the bin?

Is there anywhere that will take them to reuse? Can they be recycled?

Curious how this goes. I seem to live in the same top-level postal code (K2G) as the people, and their veg delivery boxes are collecting in my garage.

They already re-use cardboard boxes - they're always labelled as chocolate bars and candies, presumably from some candy distributor.

I hope I can drop my collection of 15 or 20 boxes off for another go-around rather than send them to recycling.

The current (clear) Lucozade Sport top is nicely reusable. Squeezy goodness and not leaky.

Guess it's a good thing I save stuff. Front and back of my old Women's March sign from Shitler's last regime. Busting it back out for tomorrow's protest. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts #EatTheRich #SmashThePatriarchy #ReduceReuseRecycle

collaged photos of two sides of a heavy duty cardboard sign. One side says "A Woman' place is in the Resistance." over the Rebel Alliance logo from Star Wars. The other side is an artist rendering of a Latino woman and an Arab women standing together with text is both Arabic and English saying " Come for one, face us all."
