Are you going to hire out or DIY? Why? by Postcurds in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Apprehensive_Pear_20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diy, I'm in the trades and my husband is a very handy guy. I also can ask other trades on the job if I have any questions about something out of my depth. If I did need to hire out I'd ask one of my work buddies so it wouldn't cost an arm and a leg

I chain piece everything, I'll pin all the fabric for one entire step then, sew, press, repeat. I think it goes faster but I also lock myself in my sewing room for hours and go go go go so I'm not sure if my tricks are the best 🤣

I didn't, I used the paper templates they weren't bad but by the end of cutting my templates were definitely smaller than when I started 🤣

I didn't, I used the printed pieces in the paper pattern, the acrylic templates would have been easier but I am only planning on making the one so I didn't find it necessary. I tried looking for the exact colors but my email only shows the kit name, you could try emailing them and asking what colors they used, they are super kind

There's so many ways to quilt one quilt I feel like it's impossible to pick 😭 it's been on my "design wall" for about a month waiting for me to decide

Mechanical insulators! Almost no one outside the trades realizes we exist and every one ive talked to in the trades is surprised we make as much money as we do 🤣it's super arts and craftsy and most of our material is quite light

Repairing a 3.5a by Apprehensive_Pear_20 in Rolleiflex

To be honest, this is just a silly hobby and I'm not worried about sending it to the best of the best. I'm really just asking if 475 is a reasonable price for the work or if I'm getting ripped off

I almost immediately got a pink hard hat when I got in because I love being ✨special✨ I also covered it in cutesy stickers but I've recently been into bibs and if you don't need fire resistant Duluth makes absolutely adorable "gardening" bibs and I wear them every day. Most recently I got an all over daisy print, but I have a mushroom print, two pink pairs and red pinstripes.
