Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.

Totally! I’m pretty frugal (cheap) so I don’t often spend a whole lot on fabric, but I ask for nice stuff as gifts and that works great. One of the reasons I always wanted to learn is because I’m short waisted and I found that store-bought clothes often have seams or belts in the middle and look awful on me. So now I can choose patterns that elongate my torso (or modify them to remove the seam).

I’ve learned a lot via the school of YouTube, after taking a single beginner’s class. The class helped me get comfortable with the machine.
