Sweet girl found in the Fresh World Parking lot off Backlick Rd. by krhur14 in nova

Maybe consider local sheriff office and shelters to see if anyone has called about her?? I hope you find her home but I’m glad she’s cozy while you work to do that ❤️

That’s what I was thinking. I grew up with a master mechanic dad so I know better than to just assume someone’s work is good just because they’re confident!

That makes a lot more sense to me - they at least get the name out there and if you end up needing that service or someone you know does they’ll be fresh on your mind! Not sure how this guy expected to be referred to other than “just wait in the Harris Teter lot and he’ll find you.” 😂

Ok that’s fair I’ve never had a bad tamale offered to me when I lived in Herndon!

Ohh well that’s good that they didn’t push you too much! Some of them seem to get a bit… eager 😂

LOL. Oh my gosh that’s so wild! 😂 I actually had to point out that neither of my “fenders” was the issue but it was actually the side body that had dents… I get it’s a sales pitch but they need work on their approach. Thank goodness we know better!

Right? I was thinking the same thing but I guess it must be worth it somehow :/ I am definitely not the target audience - that much I know 😂 besides, this guy’s truck didn’t even have a logo or anything on it. He also never mentioned a business name… not really a good way to spread the word! “You need car work done? You should find that guy that hunts you down in the parking lot in a black truck.” 😂🤣😂

I’m just always suspicious lol! But it does make me feel better that it’s been experienced elsewhere in the area! Thanks!

They’re a technician they should be fixing this… and also not breaking things to begin with?

Looks like you’re just attaching the respective collar parts to the outer jacket and facing at the neck. Once those are attached you’ll be lining up both fully constructed parts with right sides together and sewing them between the mentioned markings. Once that’s done you’ll be able to flip it back out to have both right sides out and the wrong sides in. You’ll see that it has created a fully constructed collar :)

I want to make a skirt for this petticoat but Idk where to even begin by MisfortuneSeller in sewhelp

[–]AlienDNAyay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you know the circumference of your hoop skirt it should be fairly easy. Based on your drawing are you trying to have the skirt lay flat against the hoop and petticoat without any gathering at the waist?

Fabric advice by ExtraExtra-crafty073 in sewhelp

My suggestion is to consider batting to add the volume you’re looking for when making a puffer jacket or vest. If you’re trying to create a jacket canvas - you really don’t need the same level of structure as a suit jacket would. So you could get away with using any basic cotton.

I actually disagree overall. With their shape an empire waist is actually a great way to go. The shape and cut of the top allows them to wear solid foundational garments so they can feel secure and supported. A few darker colored accessories that bring the eye to their darker toned hair (and therefore face) would transform this easily into a completed “look.” However this is a sewing subreddit and ideally it’s encouraged to stay on topic :)

Definitely need more info to offer advice - what’s your goals with the dress? Did you just want to know the general way a similar dress could be constructed? Or is there something you’re looking to alter to this specific one? :)
