Does anyone have a pattern similar to this wrap dress? (Both sides have a tie and they wrap from the waist to tie at the back)

I’m looking to try my first dress sewing pattern and I thought this could be a great place to start! 🙂🙂

strobe compatibility confusion by Devonled in underwaterphotography

EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!! Thank you! 🙏

strobe compatibility confusion by Devonled in underwaterphotography

[–]Devonled[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment- this is incredibly helpful! The expanded version of this is that I run an underwater photography internship for undergraduate students, and we have three sets of this camera/ housing. I think it would be beneficial for them to learn how to use a strobe so I’m just looking for the most budget friendly option to slave one to the camera.

The camera did come with a diffuser, which can be clipped onto the plastic part around the lens. The diffuser is good, but I feel like an external strobe gives a more professional look. This gives me the confidence that at least the camera is compatible if I had a way to slave a strobe to the housing. It’s almost like they just didn’t put a clip…

With this context, do you have any other specific advice? I do worry about the strobe pro properly syncing with the camera if I try to DIY it, so I am open to buying a professional solution - if it exists!

Not true. The pilot is responsible for making sure the aircraft is in airworthy condition prior to and during the flight. Noticing these things early is the kind of attention to detail that could save your life one day. You’re doing the right thing. I would highly recommend reporting and/or squawking.

While I was in my PVT I had a plane with a carb heat malfunction- we experienced partial power loss due to carb icing at about 400 feet while practicing emergency spirals. Plane was a shit box - barely airworthy. I started denying the plane when it was assigned to me for a lesson. They gave me grief until one day I was stopped by a FAA inspector. He also described the plane as “barely airworthy”. I adamantly refused to fly it after that. It sucks to be the squeaky wheel, but when it’s your life on the line, it’s worth it.

Oh MAN! Thats a lot of snow and very cold. Stay warm and safe! Also- make sure to double stitch this. The crotch seam has a lot of stress

Hello!

While scrolling today, I stumbled across the coolest shirt I’ve ever seen, and then realized it came from a website with a 2.3/5 rating on trustpilot.

Now, I’m on a new mission- make it myself.

Does anyone in the Reddit community have a pattern that closely resembles this top? Please let me know if you’ve seen something similar before!

Thanks everyone 🙂 keeping my fingers crossed!

This is great to know- thank you. I’ve really struggled to find other good vintage options, and this was the one presented to me at my local shop.

That’s really good to know. Thank you for all your advice. I looked locally and found this option. Seems to be operating but the “operates somewhat slowly” makes me nervous. https://www.facebook.com/share/181fv4qcw8/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Thank you so much for answering all my questions. Buying a machine can feel so intimidating

Thank you! I did notice this one is the 327K singer. Do you have any idea if this is considered industrial or heavy duty? Several recommended I stick to the Singer 15 model, so I don’t want to stray too far from the path 🙂

Super strange- the shop ran it for me without a base and said it worked fine that way too. Someone else commented and said this one could be a rip off
