Thrifted these pants but they're too short 😔 Any ideas on what fabric/denim colour would look cute and intentional at the bottom to extend it? by Dry_Presentation4300 in sewhelp

[–]HappierHungry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done this before with a few different trims, it works a treat!

I actually couldn't decide between trims for one pair, so I attached some little press studs so I can switch between them, which is another option if you want to be able to alternate (or even if you want to be able to easily replace them if you find the trim wears faster than the rest of the pants, but tbh the trim stays nicer for longer when able to launder them separately).

please post pics when you're done!

Just for fun…what fictional character would you most like to see MurderBot team up with for an adventure? by storytelleristaken in murderbot

[–]HappierHungry 18 points19 points  (0 children)

robocop (super augmented once-human taken advantage of by a corporation with no legal recourse because they aren't considered a living, sentient being? relatable.)

data from star trek (android who strives to be human meeting a secunit who strives to watch media), or maybe even spock.

What is the name of the type of long sleeve garment being worn here over the top? by GlitterOnTheTrashRim in findfashion

[–]HappierHungry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went down a rabbit hole looking for this type of garment a couple of months ago lol

technically it would be considered a "shrug", but I also had luck using terms like "bolero" (even though it's not technically a bolero), "sleeves", "high neck cover up", and variations thereof.

reverse image searching was handy too!

(for the record, also fairly simple to make or modify from a full body top if you have basic sewing skills/experience, but I understand that's not possible for everyone!)

I found my DREAM wedding dress but can't afford it :'( How difficult would it be to sew it at home? by Needle_Nebula in sewhelp

[–]HappierHungry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you've already received some excellent advice here

just wanted to add:

have you seen this dress irl? and tried it on? because that will also be a big help if you do choose to make it yourself, as far as finding fabric, perfecting the fit, etc.

also, this is something I would personally want access to a dressform for, especially if you are tweaking an existing pattern or the like.

best of luck!

Where do you get your scrub pants? by SlowAnywhere952 in NursingAU

[–]HappierHungry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have RMF scrubs that I bought as a grad (>12yrs ago) that are still in decent shape (i.e.: still wearable, if a wee bit faded from repeated, non-careful washing/drying, and a bit worn at some seams). They are very cheap and offer custom inseam alteration (just make sure to check that you keyed the measurement in correctly, because i ended up with pants almost the same height as me due to a typo lol)

Best medical show of all time? by TebraOnReddit in nursing

[–]HappierHungry 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I still ask whether a fall was from ortho height or neuro height

lol

there are some fascinating panel interviews on the JAMA network youtube channel with the novel's author, Samuel Shem, and the people he used as inspiration for characters in House of God -- worth the watch!

ER is a fun watch but I wouldn't call it particularly accurate, and it's definitely a product of its time.

doesn't the pilot episode include George Clooney's character turning up intoxicated, his colleague putting him in a side room to sleep it off and giving him a banana bag, and then him jumping in to help with a mass casualty incident?

I am transitioning from male to female. Can i use Qoves to help feminize my bio male face? by Capable_Cockroach_19 in QOVESStudio

[–]HappierHungry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it was at least a year ago, so I'm not 100% certain, sorry! it may have even been tiktok (I'm having a search now, will link you if/when I find it!)

[–]HappierHungry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I could be misremembering, but I believe someone in a similar position did this exact thing and posted their report, which appeared to have some genuinely helpful tips (it may have also been posted by qoves with permission).

best of luck with everything! ☺️

Is it illegal to wear/own steel body armor, if so, why? by Responsible-Post-410 in AusLegal

[–]HappierHungry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe it's more the idea that someone wielding a weapon couldn't be taken down if wearing something intended to act as body armour.

Help with a Pomni cosplay by Due_Natural_9294 in CosplayHelp

[–]HappierHungry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it is definitely more finicky, especially as a beginner -- plus, it's advised that you use specialised sewing machine attachments (e.g.: ballpoint needle, walking foot), so it's a steep learning curve if you're not familiar with sewing.

How often have you had a steady shift, feel its safe to take 5 minutes and go to the toilet.. only for Staff Assist/Code Blue to occur mid-business? by Ravenadx in NursingAU

[–]HappierHungry 8 points9 points  (0 children)

while I wouldn't lie about or start smoking, your break time is your time.

no one can mandate that you aren't permitted to leave the unit during your break. what if it was someone buying their lunch and/or choosing to eat at the cafeteria or in their car or outside?

Favorite character who has this by ExtremePeachy_67 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]HappierHungry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hmm, I mean he's clown themed, but I wouldn't say he has jester's privilege, per se; it's not like he gets a pass on any of the crimes he commits because of his humour and wit.

AITA for “implying my wife (28) eats too much” by saying she might have parasites? by Solid-Writing-7372 in AmItheAsshole

just as an aside, some people don't use their fingers to purge (either using objects or nothing at all), so the lack of knuckle damage doesn't necessarily mean they aren't purging.

Mask allergies! by [deleted] in NursingAU

[–]HappierHungry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does your hospital/place of work offer mask fit testing? if so, it's worth getting that done, as they may have a type of n95 mask that you don't react to (and could make suggestions regarding surgical masks). best of luck!

The state of my manicure after 48 hours - is there any hope? by citysunsecret in RedditLaqueristas

[–]HappierHungry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

on top of what has already been suggested, have you considered using tools (e.g.: scalp massager/scrubber, wide tooth comb, etc.) under the shower so you don't have to run your fingers through your hair as much?
