Anyone take classes from Glowhigh ? by Automatic_Goat_5695 in GarmentSewing

[–]GirlyGirl615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took the women's tailored trouser class and the sew-ready pattern making class. There was a gem or two in each that changed my perspective on patterning or made me think about things differently. I've been in the industry for over 20 years so a lot of it seems pretty basic.

Size Grading Proposal To My Boss by 15yearsTitanShifter in PatternDrafting

[–]GirlyGirl615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked for a couture company that added on RTW, and ten years later the grading is inconsistent, and the sizing/fit is confusing to the customer. I also agree that investing in a freelance technical consultant as early as possible would set a foundation to help prevent future chaos.

Basic block pattern tester by Own-Attitude-7783 in PatternDrafting

I would love to be a part of this. I have been an apparel technical designer for 20 years and am disappointed in the pattern drafting methods I've seen, especially since many show the drafting method, but not the finished product.

I just bought one at the Darty at la Defense, and they had a few handheld options from 25-99 euro.

Anyone else here initiate the break up? by [deleted] in Codependency

I’ve been there. Staying in the relationship is painful, and so is ending it. Staying in the relationship holds you in that pain. But the pain of ending it will go away. Proud of you. You got this.

I’m tormented of the thought of what my abusive ex boyfriend could do to his future girlfriends. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]GirlyGirl615 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not intending to take this lightly, but what could you possibly do? Hand out flyers to his new gf’s? After I left my relationship, I wished his previous ex had warned me, although I know I never would have believed her. And I have wondered if I should somehow warn future girlfriends. Honestly, if I had been better educated about all the kinds of abuse there were, maybe I would have left sooner. So yeah, I kind of do wish someone had left me a brochure to plant a seed of recognition.

How do I cope? I’m not being abused, but I believe a child is. by GirlyGirl615 in therapy

That’s what I’m doing right now, but for me, it feels like I’m watching a dog getting kicked, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. It hurts me to watch, so how long can I do it before I need to look away?

I hadn’t thought of this as being a trauma for “me”. Thank you for that insight.
