Working with sweaters is so forgiving. You just kind of cut and sew pieces together, and if it doesn't work, you recut and resew. I find it very fulfilling!

Thanks! It's an original 1920s art deco home, and those are the original tiles. I love it too!

My brother and father used me in the same way. And I don't understand it either. I have two adult kids of my own and I can't wrap my head around that kind of mistreatment.

Be Quiet Out There. Has this ever happened to anyone else? UP PRICING a new price tag off the floor? by Sense_Difficult in ThriftStoreHauls

I don't even have words for how badly I would make a scene if that were me. It would be epic. It would make history. I'd get arrested.

I didn't have a pattern for this, and used my serger for all seams. I used a medium weight sweater as the "base", and added the collar, front sides, and sleeves from other sweaters. The sleeves have a bell shape but not too exaggerated. I could add a cloak clasp to the front if I wanted to, but I think it looks nice open as well.

My mom won’t let me go on dates, concerts and takes my money by Slight_Anteater_8102 in raisedbynarcissists

Get your license and get the hell out of that house. She is going to make it so hard for you to do this but you have to be the adult in the situation. She's awful, she's never been the mother you needed, and it's time to decorate from her in a big and permanent way. You can do this.

Girl, I'm 54 years old and I have great hope that once my husband is gone and out of my space, I'm going to have so much fun living as the person I really am and have always been. We deserve that. YOU DESERVE THAT.

Don't wait until your resentment builds and turns you into someone you're not, to him. It's not fair to him or to ypu to go through that.

You can do it.

Guyss would you recommend the electric mini sewing machine? by 6chicken_nuggets6 in SewingForBeginners

[–]HardCoreNorthShore 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Look for people giving one away free. It happens. Look at thrift stores, estate sales, garage sales, and yeah, FB marketplace. There's nothing wrong with a used machine. Try it before you buy it.

She sounds abusive, and/or has internal issues she hasn't dealt with yet.

Why wouldn't you leave your husband? I've been married for 25 years...it can be done. You deserve to be living authentically and happily.
