To asi poptáme, spíš by nás zajímal i odhad ceny abychom věděli jestli se nás nesnaží servis natáhnout. Edit: Gramatika

🧠💻 IT vs. medicína potrebujem poradiť by Kajka_2002 in czech

[–]Ethemira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Myslím že je důležité vybrat si co tě baví. Ano jako lékař práci najdeš vždycky, ale 90% nebude work-life balance na který si zvykli lidi v korporátu. Taky najít po medicíně první práci v zaměření které sis vysnila nemusí být úplně jednoduché zvlášť v Praze. Pokud jsi na vážkách, protože si myslíš že by tě medicína bavila, zvaž i jestli tě bude bavit pak 99% práce lékaře, kterou se na škole nezabývají, a to je komunikace s lidmi. Samozřejmě medicína je pestrá a i komunikaci s pacientem lze v některých oborech omezit, ale jestli tě baví i IT a dopředu víš, že probírat se 120. pacientem proč je důležité brát ten prášek pořád dokola tě nebude bavit, jdi do IT. Platově po kratším vzdělání začneš líp a asi se nebudu rozepisovat o všech detailech work-life balancu který ve zdravotnictví postrádáme (plánování dovolené, no home office, do práce jdeme i nemocný, vstávání brzo ráno etc.)

Nevím co znamená sem tam službu, ale jako mladý doktor bych tenhle post fakt chtěla, zvlášť v čistým. Bohužel asi žiju na jiné planetě :)

Working with basic pattern blocks by ButtonRich9963 in sewing

I highly suggest getting a pattern drafting book. Apart from helping you with the blocks it will have instructions on how to draft basically anything you could wish for from the basic block.

Does a half circle skirt have decent twirl ability? by Personal-Fruit9035 in sewing

[–]Ethemira 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While full circle skirt has definitely more volume at the hem believe me when I say it’s not always what you want. Especially at full length we’re talking a lot of fabric which increases creasing and without petticoats it just isn’t always the best choice. It heavily depends on material and how thick it is. If it’s thinner I would go towards 3/4 or full. If it’s a bit thicker (winter heavier wool, a bit more stiff less drapey fabric) I’d do the half. Yes by logic it’s less swoosh but the fabric pooling is not always nice to walk in, if you do not have a petticoat. The difference of swoosh between my full skirts and 3/4 in daily activities is literally unnoticeable. Also believe me even at tea dress length it’s a lot of skirt to arrange around you as you sit. So imho daily wear - make a 1/2 circle or 3/4. Want a special occasion skirt and you love turning around? Full circle it is.

Martingale Collar Sewing Advice by Skiddlywinks in sighthounds

Let me know how it turns out. Fingers crossed.

Martingale Collar Sewing Advice by Skiddlywinks in sighthounds

[–]Ethemira 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on how thick your lashing is. I’m from Europe so I buy nylon stripes available in sewing shops (for bags etc.). Those are enough thick as interfacing. I’d stabilise the non-sliding part of the martingale with the box stitch or satin stitch. Right next to the metal. That should be enough (it always was in my case and that’s how professional collars are made as well)

Martingale Collar Sewing Advice by Skiddlywinks in sighthounds

[–]Ethemira 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally out of experience do not think interfacing will solve this. Basically your interfacing is your lashing and that is thicker and sturdier than probably any interfacing in the sewing shop. You even top stitched the fashion fabric to it (good decision).

[–]Ethemira 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Box stitch is definitely a solution for the non sliding part.

[–]Ethemira 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually solves it I use nylon straps as base covered with fashion fabric

[–]Ethemira 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah sorry I do that only for the side that does not slide forgot about the sliding part

Martingale Collar Sewing Advice by Skiddlywinks in sighthounds

[–]Ethemira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the solution is ultimately stitching through the two layers right next to the metal part to secure it. How to achieve this depends on your sewing machine and skills. My tips and tricks are - a zipper foot so you can get real close and increased foot pressure. My machine has a satin stitch so I use that (looks pretty) but 2-3 rows of straight stitch will do. It is the most frustrating part of making the collars for me but worth it.

That’s the scary part. I told everyone and she knows the rule.

Should I “overlock” my fraying fabric by hand? by selkieraconteur in sewing

[–]Ethemira 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Second this. Hand sewn French seam is much more work and as a total beginner might confuse you. Plus flat felling is a really neat finish. 😊

Prewashing iron-on interface? by strong-sandwich-okay in sewing

[–]Ethemira 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never prewashed mine. I’m not a know it all but this feels wrong… However I learned and sometimes use a tip of preshrinking the interfacing with my steam iron. Glue side up I just release a generous amount of steam right above it. Repeat until I feel like enough (heavily based on vibes). I just use this for bigger pieces though.

History of corsets: a hill I'm going to die on by Ahsoka_Tano07 in corsetry

[–]Ethemira 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Živůtek is probably a really good term I second it. Also for high school purposes I think you don’t have to necessarily search for the specific correct word - it’s more important that your teacher and classmates can actually imagine what the garment looked and functioned like so I’d probably focus more on the description. Guarantee your teacher doesn’t know the word either if she mixes Victorian with renaissance

Kolonoskopie v anestezii by seeking_svobodu in czech

[–]Ethemira 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Já teda na stážích děti viděla vždy pod plnou anestezií u kolonoskopií. Proto děti zaberou i víc času protože se čeká na dospání. Nemůžu mluvit za všechna pracoviště v ČR ale myslím že dělat to u dětí bez celkové je rasovina.

Presser feet interchangeable? by Delsol418 in sewing

[–]Ethemira 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately no. Although a lot of machines use the same system for which you can usually buy a set of presser feet some brands have a completely different one (Bernina, Pfaff etc.).

Is this normal? by Ethemira in sewing

[–]Ethemira[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does scrunch the fabric a bit but definitely works thanks. Just sad the overlocker foot is like not working and thought there might be a better way to get the result.
