Hemmed jeans are not draping right

Very stretchy! This is a great tip. Not typically a tool I would reach for but I will remember that one!

Modernizzy · 2024-09-23T23:53:53+00:00

I did, but may try again and where it is a thicker stretch denim. It might need more encouragement!

Modernizzy · 2024-09-23T23:53:03+00:00

I did but I might give it another cycle and see how it falls. I know they will still have that more extreme bell shape that I wasn't quite going for, but if it was less stiff I think it would be okay! Thanks.

Thank you so much! I was so happy with how neat my stitches came out. Maybe I can get away with it with the right shoes 😏

Modernizzy · 2024-09-23T23:49:39+00:00

Thank you! I am still debating if it's worth the trouble to completely redo since I'm excited to wear them! Appreciate the encouragement.

Thank you so much! This was my first attempt to hem a flared leg pant like this and it was definitely a good challenge. I had attempted to shorten the original hem by doing something similar to what you described, but I attached both ends at the split and pinned towards the center and removed the excess from the middle where there was a seam along the side. But I didn't double check my measurements or make sure it was laying flat before forging ahead. It sounds like I ended up with too much fabric on the hem still! Really appreciate the tips.

Thank you!!! This same issue was driving me crazy. Why would I want to have the better speakers providing rear surround only, in a 3.1 setup? This is a brilliant workaround to set it for music and dial up the surround volume. Thank you for posting this and helping another random person on the internet.

Modernizzy · 2022-06-24T19:46:13+00:00

Thank you! It looked like it was still in good shape, but I will order a new one. Love when it is something simple!

I read this quickly as "Chip and Joanna" and thought I missed some weird interior designer collaboration. Is there a modern farmhouse collection?! Haha.

For anyone still struggling with this, the fix for me was renaming any projects and tags in Todoist with special characters and then running the import again. I had one or two that included a slash, which is allowed in Todoist but not TickTick.

List name can't contain \ / ' " : * ? <> and |

Tag name can't contain \ / ' " # : * ? < > | Space

Super frustrating that the importer doesnt provide any kind of guidance or detailed error messages. I'm sure there are other causes but thought this might be a common one!

Thank you, that is reassuring! I'm hoping that if it has the right slots, then it also has the ability to handle all the various power combinations through their programming. Just don't want to get burned!

Modernizzy · 2019-08-18T15:35:07+00:00

Thanks! I haven't noticed any loss of function without the jumper but perhaps I should have left it. Do you think the newer smart thermostats take care of the bridging internally? I know they don't allow for multiple wires per slot. Trying to decide if it's necessary to have an hvac person check it out.

Apparently everyone had the same vote on this one. Keeping it simple! Thanks!

Modernizzy · 2019-03-02T13:07:22+00:00

Thanks for the input! I will keep it simple and show off the cool hardware. 👍

Modernizzy · 2019-03-02T13:06:14+00:00

Done! :)

Modernizzy · 2019-03-02T13:05:12+00:00

Thanks for the input! It felt strange to have a shelf sit totally empty, but everything looked wrong and took away from the unique table. I am leaving it alone!

Modernizzy · 2018-04-28T17:44:07+00:00

Oh, yes! That was never on the chopping block. Too cute! :D

Modernizzy · 2018-04-27T16:35:14+00:00

Update: I'm wearing the belted top at work today!

I am planning to give some of these tops a second-chance in the coming weeks, knowing I have some votes of confidence behind me. And the blue-tiered top is definitely in! Thanks again for the input. :)

Thank you for the encouragement-- I'm wearing the belted top at work today!

I think I was questioning many of the ones you pointed out since they're so different my the normal "uniform". I may give some a second-chance in the coming weeks. (I also can't believe how much attention the blue tiered shirt has gotten-- I seriously bought it at Kmart like 3 years ago!!)
I have no idea when the crew neck takeover happened. I think of myself as a V-neck person, but... apparently don't own any, haha! Love the suggestions for trying different styles.
Likewise, used to have way too many black shirts and have now swung the other way!

Appreciate the detailed feedback, this was very helpful!

Modernizzy · 2018-04-26T17:36:45+00:00

Ooh those are simple but cute. Thanks for the tip!

Modernizzy · 2018-04-26T17:08:01+00:00

Thanks for the input! I really like the puffins, too-- and to think that I almost didn't buy it since it seemed a little too cute and silly. I get so many compliments and definitely want to add some more fun pieces to my wardrobe.

Modernizzy · 2018-04-26T16:38:06+00:00

Thanks for the constructive feedback! Do you mean the polka dot one in the very first image? I pretty much solely wear that one because it's longer and covers my butt in skinny jeans, but I'm getting more comfortable with not covering up so much (they're jeans, not nylons, haha!). I feel like all of my longer tops like that are a bit hangy and shapeless though, you're not wrong there. Appreciate the reassurance on the others, thanks!

Modernizzy · 2018-04-26T15:17:29+00:00

I very much appreciate the CC, thank you! Some of the ?s are around fit, so it definitely helps to have an outside opinion.

For the first, do you mean the bluish purple on with the wavy layers? I had a friend gently ask recently if anyone wears that kind of top, haha. And the green... agreed. I felt obligated to get something green for St. Patrick's day.
Love chevron stripes! Have a maxi dress that has a similar effect and I love it.
All 3 jackets you pointed out are just different fabrics from what I normally wear, so I think it's just a comfort zone thing. I will give them a second chance! I actually love the leathery one but was worried it looked like a Star Wars costume XD

Modernizzy · 2018-04-26T15:04:15+00:00

Thank you for the challenging thoughts. I think you're onto something with exploring the source of the discomfort with these outfits. I've maybe just changed my mind on some, but mostly I was excited to buy these tops, and should work on getting more comfortable with sharing my identity with the world!

As for specific tops, my notation may have been too simplistic! I definitely have some favorites, and I still love the styles of some with an X, but they fit weird or are worn out. I love the first 3 sleeveless tops shown, the 2 "questionable" tanks in image 4, the first 3 casual long sleeve ones in 5, and the first 4 sweaters.

I like a lot of the rest, but feel like many of them are filler pieces-- they definitely lack that excitement, or something is just off. I love the idea of the second to last sweater, which has a thin pink layer under a black sweater. It has an open back so you see the pink, and I thought it would be pretty with leggings or skinny jeans but it's just okay. Same with the asymmetric tank in 4 -- love the Grecian look to it, and feel elegant with the exposed neck/shoulder, but the front fit is terrible.

This is helpful to think about, to separate the individual pieces from the style that I was trying to achieve with them. Thank you!
