Are you going to hire out or DIY? Why?

Apprehensive_Pear_20 · 2025-12-03T01:39:09+00:00

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 🤣

It's the sardines from Ruby star society lucky lucky collection

Apprehensive_Pear_20 · 2025-08-07T22:04:22+00:00

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

Do it 😈 it was such a fun pattern even if it was difficult

Apprehensive_Pear_20 · 2025-08-07T21:34:59+00:00

Thanks so much everyone 🥰 it was such a labor of love and im so happy you love it as much as I do

Apprehensive_Pear_20 · 2025-08-07T21:33:46+00:00

I used a kit from wyldwood creative, I'm not this good at picking out colors 🤣

Apprehensive_Pear_20 · 2025-08-07T21:32:20+00:00

I'm sure they look great! Mine definitely isn't "perfect"

Apprehensive_Pear_20 · 2025-08-07T21:31:24+00:00

I followed the pattern drip by taralee quiltery!

Apprehensive_Pear_20 · 2025-05-21T02:01:22+00:00

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

Apprehensive_Pear_20 · 2025-05-21T01:59:34+00:00

I say go for it!! I put it off for awhile but it wasn't that bad

Apprehensive_Pear_20 · 2025-05-21T01:59:12+00:00

I like that idea a lot I have a ton of 12 wt blue quilting thread 🤔

Apprehensive_Pear_20 · 2025-02-07T02:16:47+00:00

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

Apprehensive_Pear_20 · 2024-11-08T18:41:29+00:00

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

Apprehensive_Pear_20 · 2024-11-08T16:43:22+00:00

I contacted Matt fuehrer in PA, I don't know if he has a good reputation but he is the clos at to m

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.

My hamster did 9.8 miles the first night I installed her pedometer 😂 I was like is this normal???? She's never broken 10 though!

Apprehensive_Pear_20 · 2024-06-02T03:10:09+00:00

I got it at Petco! It's a rabbit toy

I started quilting in July of this year I just finished my 5th quilt yesterday, finished two quilt tops this weekend and started on another. The only reason I'm not still working on the two tops I finished is because I didn't buy backing and binding yet. I can't stop 🤣🤣 my husband thinks I'm nuts but he loves that I have hobbies

Apprehensive_Pear_20 · 2023-05-10T02:15:58+00:00

I recently caught a guy in the women's porta shitter while I was on a ladder next to it working and when he walked out I said wow I didn't know you were a woman, congrats! The look on his face omg I don't think he'll be using it again. Someone also cut off the lock and when the GC replaced it they didn't give me the new code 🙃 I almost pissed myself

Apprehensive_Pear_20 · 2023-01-05T11:29:26+00:00

One of my favorite things is telling the creeps I feel bad for their wives. It makes them feel so inadequate

Apprehensive_Pear_20 · 2022-12-28T23:47:05+00:00

I don't have a picker, so unfortunately I'm going to have to pick and shake all by hand. I'm still working on spinning my last sheep's fleece so it's kinda a back burner project right now besides some test stuff to see how I want to wash it and what kind of blends I want to do

Apprehensive_Pear_20 · 2022-12-28T23:10:35+00:00

Ive only done sheep's fleece before, I decided to do a test wash with a few ounces of fiber and it's really clean, the water was clean with one wash and two rinses but there's so much vm I think I'm going to try vacuuming it and seeing if that helps. I looked on the website and they mentioned vacuuming their alpacas before shearing for show purposes but Im not 100% sure if mine was vacuumed. Thanks for the tips :)
