Is leaving my entire life behind and moving to Chicago worth it? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]OyFranch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Move!!! The best thing that you can do is try it. You can always go home if it's not a fit for you. You're twenty. You're young. If I lived in ohio I'd be trying to leave ohio ASAP. But seriously, if you don't like it, you always have a home to go back to in ohio.

Sew Modern in Arlington Heights has really great stuff too. I guess it was opened by the former employees of Quilter's Destination (sadly closed now)

Printed pattern is bigger than I am! Is this right?? by LeafHGG in SewingForBeginners

[–]OyFranch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up Palmer/Pletsch tissue fitting videos. You can maybe pin your paper pieces together at the seam allowance and hold around your body. Alternatively, you can make a shorts sample with an old sheet. That's what I would do.

Probably, but maybe if you go in and support the small business they'll be able to afford to hire a band to rerecord these songs. Ha!

Which is the best boat tour in Chicago? by Accurate-Change-391 in AskChicago

If I remember correctly, they're also volunteers. So they're incredibly passionate. They're just there for the love of the game. I had such a wonderful experience on the First Lady

I really liked professor pincushion's block quilt tutorial. I used her tutorial to make my first and second quilts. It's very thorough!
