Dream report

I. A small boy lived with his single-parent father who disappeared every afternoon. I don’t mean he left – he actually vanished from existence, to reappear the following morning with no memory that anything odd had happened. No one else, except the kid, seemed to notice either. The boy was able to get home from school each day on his own, but with no one to cook dinner for him, he’d taken to asking for an extra glass of milk at breakfast, which he’d stash in the fridge for later. This morning, however, the father was anxious to get going and didn’t want to pour any more milk, and the son was unable to explain to him why it was necessary.

II. In a slightly spooky library, I found a book called The Iterations of Emily, about a woman who finds an anthology of stories which are all AU versions of her own life. I then spent the rest of the dream recommending it to everyone I met, mainly a woman who sort of looked like Gina Torres but with dreads.

On a Sillier Note (Sewing Report)

Having sewn a couple of vintage-y halter tops of late, I found I need to pad the cups out a bit; there are several patterns online for bra pads, but to get the slightly conical 1950s shape, I have devised my own pattern which is mine, and which I have dubbed the "Titrahedron."

From the cloth of your choice (satin is nice) cut an equilateral triangle, three to four inches along each side (depending on the desired size). Right sides together (if applicable), fold the three corners up to meet each other and sew three short seams. Obviously you will not do the last seam until you have turned the shape right-side out and stuffed it. Repeat for second pad. Place inside bra or halter top, one corner pointing into the depths of each cup, and secure in place with a few stitches.
