Baby is almost 1.5 years old so I'm a fair bit out from birth. Still I get an achey/knot/pain feeling sometimes around my c-section. I haven't gotten back in shape so it could be because of that, but it's like a muscle pain/knot feeling around the c-section scar area (just from doing regular stuff like playing with a toddler/chasing a toddler/etc. not heavy working out).

Then in my mind I'm like oh god everything is fused together down there and that's why. :|

Sewing patterns don't really show for projector sewing, but it seems like most other sewing it's tracing right side up of pattern pieces onto wrong side of fabric? Same for projecting?

Thanks!

I have a fabric I was going to use that is striped but I just realized the stripes are horizontal instead of vertical. I'd prefer to have them vertical. It's a thin cotton (blend?) without stretch. It feels like a really cool cotton, kind of a shirt material? If the photo works, the stripes are the opposite direction as to what is shown. Thanks!

I didn’t realize it was this weekend (here). oops.

last two days I’ve tried getting baby to sleep for over an hour with no luck. he’ll sleep at night from 830-730ish (usually 11-11.5 hours), with that including time woken up to nurse (at least 3 or so times, big chunks in the morning). he used to do this and would take 1 nap but now he’s been refusing that nap and then just exhausted by the end of the day.

and then of course I want to cry because that’s my only down time all day (to get stuff done but also relax).

a couple websites said about 15 hours a day of sleep (11-12 hrs at night and 2-3 hours of naps).

I have the erasable pens right now that are supposed to disappear when wet but they are always disappearing by the time I'm finishing sewing a project (so a few days), where I'm having to guess where everything lines up because it's not there anymore.

Thank you!

I don't really know what different diaper rashes look like (wetness sensitivity, acidic poo, yeast, reaction to diapers, etc.). We use a mix of cloth and millie moon.

He occasionally gets redness along the crack, sometimes it can be raised up a little but not little bumps.

Thanks!

Thinking if I think it's a pattern I'll make a lot, it might be useful to trace onto paper since I'll need to bring out the projector each time otherwise. Haven't used it yet so not sure how time intensive it is. Do you find it nice to have the traced pattern on hand?

Thanks!

I've never done this and don't feel like starting now, but I was just looking up recipes to remind myself if I roast the feet before making broth or not, and instead found this.

So also, do you roast or no?

Thanks1

is it ok to have some green on them?

I’ve made them before but it’s been awhile and I don’t remember what i used.

thanks!

I have two 24x36 in cutting mats that I’ll put together to make a 48x36 in mat, on a 36-38 in x 48-50 in board. should I try to get the exact size of the two mats together to clamp them down if a little extra? If the second, how do you secure it?

thanks!

I need to buy a piece of plywood for cutting on because my dining table is bowed. I have two 24x36 inch cutting mats so togther 48x36.. was thinking of getting a 50x38 inch piece of plywood (table is 38.5" wide).

1. they're almost all 4x8 ft which I don't know if that would fit in my car.. can I get it cut at the hardware store?

2. This is the cheapest I've seen ($20). Others are sanded but I could sand at home, right?

3. do I need to bring a level to check if they're level?

thanks!
