2024/11 Bedroom Set - My Room

26 items

5-30 swathes

Base game compatible

I originally planned to create a little life series, but I have been really homesick lately, and for some reason, I won't be able to return to my own home for a short period of time. So I made this bedroom set based on my own room at home.

DEL SOL -- No. II

Hello, everyone! Here's part two of my Del Sol Collection, which consists of 7 new items and 2 overlays. I've had a lot of fun creating these and hope you enjoy them too! Please let me know if you come across any issues. Thank you!

BackSplash Galore Set

I loved the tile that came with The Sims 4: Lovestruck, giving us a tile that is a wall decor object! It's such a good idea and lets us customize our kitchens & bathrooms however we want!

But those tiles were very niche and wouldn't fit every build, and that's why I made this.

I've created a few unique BackSplashes from different packs, NONE of which are required for this to work!

This means you ONLY need the Base Game, but for them to show up you NEED to have the Basic Tile BackSplash installed, which is included in the .ZIP file! That is because it has the mesh that all of them use.

You have to hem *everything* eventually. Hemming isn't optional. (If you don't hem your cloth, it will start to fray. There are exceptions to this, like felt, but most cloth will.)

The type of cloth you choose for your project matters very much. Your clothing won't "fall right" if it's not the kind of stretchy/heavy/stiff as the one the tutorial assumes you will use.

Some types of cloth are very chill about fraying, some are very much not. Linen doesn't really give a fuck as long as you don't, like, throw it into the washing machine unhemmed (see below), whereas brocade yearns for entropy so, so much.

On that note: if you get new cloth: 1. hem its borders (or use a ripple stitch) 2. throw it in the washing machine on the setting that you plan to wash it going forward 3. iron it. You'll regret it, if you don't do it. If you don't hem, it'll thread. If you don't wash beforehand, the finished piece might warp in the first wash. If you don't iron it, it won't be nice and flat and all of your measuring and sewing will be off.

Sewing's first virtue is diligence, followed closely by patience. Measure three times before cutting. Check the symmetry every once in a while. If you can't concentrate anymore, stop. Yes, even if you're almost done.

The order in which you sew your garment's parts matters very much. Stick to the plan, but think ahead.

You'll probably be fine if you sew something on wrong - you can undo it with a seam ripper (get a seam ripper, they're cheap!)

You can use chalk to draw and write on the cloth.

Pick something made out of rectangles for your first project.

I recommend making something out of linen as a beginner project. It's nearly indestructible, barely threads and folds very neatly.

Collars are going to suck.

The sewing machine can't hurt you (probably). There is a guard for a reason and while the needle is very scary at first, if you do it right, your hands will be away from it at least 5 cm at any given time. Also the spoils of learning machine sewing are not to be underestimated. You will be SO fast.

If you’re worried about losing your pins and doing an injury, I recommend an Altoids tin and a strong magnet. It holds them in, but can also be passed over the area you lost one in and yoink it right up

If you have a machine, try to get it serviced once a year. Yes, it’s money, but fabric dust gets in all the parts as you sew and can really fuck things up if it isn’t taken apart and cared for.

If you don’t have an iron/ironing board and just need to turn a hem, you can do that with a hair straightener. Is this the nice and good way? No. But I live in a tiny apartment and make do, you’ll be ok

this one?

yes, that's an old one from before I had a tablet and (unfortunately) from before I started putting watermarks on them.

OH ALSO! speaking of watching sewing a nice thing videos, I would like to mention that I have my own sewing youtube channel now!

I am quite slow at making videos, but there are so many I want to make. If you've ever watched a sewing video and gone "Hey, wait, you're glossing over too many details, how did you do that? Oh, if only this video had more autism in it!" then you might like these ones, because I do my very best to explain every little thing as clearly as I can! Which is why it took me 22 minutes to say everything I had to say about basic 18th century hand sewn buttonholes, and an entire hour to cover making 2 pairs of gloves.
