Mold for making concrete garden edge stones?

Howdy! I've never made a mold before but I'd like to take on a (potentially overambitious) project of making my own mold for casting garden stones to line the edge of my flower plot with.

I would likely 3d model the object that I want to make the casting of, then use some type of quick drying concrete in the mold itself. My question is-- what type of mold should I use for casting concrete? Silicone? I'm not looking to spend a ton of money on something I may only do once but I'm also a believer in doing things right the first time rather than super cheaply.

Thank you for any and all advice on the matter :D

Best cut flower garden options for a home with cats? (Zone 8b)

I'm interested in starting a cut flower garden (probably next year at this point unless I have things that need establishing in fall) however it seems like many popular options are very poisonous to cats. I love having flowers in the house but I always have to be super picky with bouquets cause my cats love trying their luck by chewing on plants.

Are there any recommendations from y'all for cut flower garden options in my zone (8b Georgia) that would be safe to bring in to them? Thanks! :D

Advice for adjusting this pattern to a bigger bust?

(originally posted in the sewing subreddit but awaiting moderator approval)

I'm not entirely new to sewing however it's been a couple of years since I've sewn myself new clothing. I love love the Gunne Sax patterns but I've run into an issue/concern with the fact that this pattern is just a few inches off where my bust should be.

The finished pattern only has 50 1/2 inches of wear, however my bust measures out to be about 53 1/2 inches. Does anyone have any advice for a pattern where the bust is constructed in more than one segment like this one?

Sorry if this question is silly, It's been a minute and I don't want to mess up this dress :')

I'm looking for something similar to the structure of this dress (i just probably wouldn't do the lace inlays on the sleeves) however even if i DID get my hands on this gunne sax pattern I doubt even the biggest size would fit me. I'm plus size and measure 55 inch around my bust. Is there any hope of finding something similar either in print or online? Any help is appreciated! :D

I believe its a newcomb loom (?) Sorry if this isnt the right subreddit for this. I got it years ago from an old friend (no longer in contact) but it's just taking up space in my house :/ Just curious how much a loom like this might go for if I wanted to put it up for sale.

Howdy! I'm currently planning out my garden for next spring (im a little late to the party for this year) and was wondering if any 8b gardeners have recommendations for raspberries. I would like to plant a single raspberry bush in a container so I'm looking for something that doesn't have too much spread if possible. If I sound silly my bad this is my first time growing berries! :)

Howdy! This is my first time ever trying to propagate Strawberries so I was hoping for some advice/confirmation that I'm doing this right. This is a runner still connected to a very healthy looking mother plant. Am I supposed to bury part of the stem to keep it in place while the new root develops or should I keep it there by different means?
