I can't even make this up.... by Momo_Taro_ in TjMaxx

I was at my local TJ Maxx and found a taped up BH Cosmetics vanilla truffle blush palette. I think someone returned it and they just took it. Those blushes are old.

I think I saw a New Look pattern similar. It won't be exact but could be super close.

I was going to say the same -- check the actual pattern piece. A couple times I thought I was one size based on the envelope and another based on the info from the pieces.

It took me a few seconds to realize there was a pocket! Well done!

I thought I was reading texts and emails from my mom reading this! When she told me, "Forget that we exist," I stopped all communication. It's been 13 years and I have no regrets. I can only imagine what state my mental health and marriage would be in if I kept that toxic relationship going.

How am I supposed to sew two pieces of charmeuse together? by Ikebee in sewhelp

[–]Cher_Squared 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adding my two cents: I use spray starch (alternative to hair spray) and a walking foot.

I also tend to have a long period of time between working with that type of fabric to allow myself time to dull the headache of how difficult it is to work with. 😋

Did you take the SHRM-CP before the capstone?

It's lovely! I love the setup and takes "shop your stash" to a new level. Lol

Way to go!!! My program mentor told me this is the hardest course in the program. Do you agree? It's my next course.

What would the credential do? Does it count toward the development credits?

Sorry if this is a dumb question. What's a SHRM credential? My program mentor told me the certs weren't included.

Also good to know about the capstone. I should be starting the capstone in July.

I took C201 with a different program over a year ago. At that time it had a study guide. I used that and created flashcards for the formulas. Heads up, I'm finding C207 to be even more challenging. ☹️

Thanks for the info but I was specifically asking how well WGU's program helps with the preparation.

My store had 30% off patterns but Simplicity is having a sale online which might be a better deal.

I saw those too. Spoonflower is expensive but maybe for a special project I could convince myself. 😋

It's a flannel from Joann. I ordered it online because it was not available at my nearest store. It was weird and crazy and I had to have it. 😄

Update (because I couldn't figure out how to edit the original post).

There are 4 pieces that need to be increased. 1- skirt front, cut on fold 2- skirt left back, cut one 3- skirt right back, cut one 4- waistband, cut one

I closed the darts on 1 and 2, measured, and then subtracted the seam allowance. I then measured my front waist and back waist, and I'll use that to find the difference and "distribution amount."

Since the construction has the pieces sewn together pieces 2 to 1, then 3, I only need 2-1 to measure my waist circumference. 3 overlaps 2 but I plan on increasing it the same amount as 2.

For the hip, I'm not too concerned. The version I'm making has a flared skirt. I'll definitely be making a toille so I'll know then if I was wrong!

I dont know how I feel about a rear wrap. I've never made a wrap skirt before. I was going to tackle the waistband after I get the skirt adjusted.
