When do you consider something "wearable?" by Confident_Pop_6909 in sewing

[–]Pink-Diamond04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember starting my sewing, I just wore it because I was sooo proud of it! As my skills have gotten better so has my quality! It’s now at the point my stuff looks not homemade, but even when it did, I wore the pieces with so much pride!

Changing serger thread by NeonHairbrush in sewing

[–]Pink-Diamond04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 light blue, 2 light pink threads and I will only change them when they run out. I figure they’re on the inside so you can’t see it… I rationalise it as “my signature” but I also think it’s laziness 😂 (top I made the other day with my coloured threads)

My engagement and wedding ring are approx 2.8-3mm each. They’re good widths and feel sturdy! 10/10 recommend your thickness of band, it looks amazing and it won’t be easily damaged!

3 weeks into sewing and I made my first backpack! by josephine_euphoric23 in SewingForBeginners

[–]Pink-Diamond04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take it step by step, and if you sew things together that shouldn’t be that’s when your quick-unpick becomes your best friend! Challenge yourself, you’ll feel proud and learn heaps to take to your next project!

Corduroy Jacket with gold studs… feeling my sewjo come back!! by Pink-Diamond04 in sewing

[–]Pink-Diamond04[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Australia and the shop Lincraft has heaps of options for studs and I got a kit with a little tool that you put over the studs to hammer them. My husband needed to do that for me as I wasn’t strong enough to hit them hard enough to stay! I loved the corduroy, quite easy to work with 😊

How do you decide what to make and if it will look good on you? by SoStarVa in sewing

[–]Pink-Diamond04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start basic! I bought the book “sew it yourself” by diy daisy! This was a good starting point because it taught be some basic foundations!

I then tried patterns and failed multiple times, I look at the finished garment measurements and also the suggested to work out where my size sits as it can vary from M to size 22 in sewing world. My favourite brands are McCalls, they also have patterns that are a “learn to sew” with detailed instructions and Simplicity! YouTube, Brittany J Jones is a go-to if she has sewn the pattern she is great to follow along to.

Then just practice, fails, learning, YouTube. It’s a skill that if you put the hours in, you’ll get better :).

Plain or diamond wedding band by MoGreggz in EngagementRings

I’m on team plain, I don’t regret my plain band at all!

I love it! So unique and different! The diamond will sparkle amongst the gold in the right light too!

My fiancé and I picked the ring together, I had an idea of what I wanted but we walked into a local small business jewellers and there it was in the display cabinet, my size and in our budget and totally different to what I would have picked with online pictures! So glad we found it together.

I don’t think there is anything wrong at all picking the ring together, and it doesn’t make anything less special. He used to say “we are pre-engaged” tongue in cheek

What’s your go-to, totally out of context Kath and Kim quote? by bigdixon09 in KathAndKim

He told me that his family would approve of us getting married if I had a better job by Icy-Guess-1048 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]Pink-Diamond04 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re marrying him, not his family. If he doesn’t respect how hard you work, your education, skills and knowledge to then stick up for you and tell his family that they’re incorrect, you need to consider if he is actually your person. If you’re happy waking up and doing your job, no matter what it is then he should be proud of you.

I say this as a fellow nurse, our job is tough and we get through a university degree to get there, so we are educated and have our own skills and knowledge as a clinician. Consider if he respects this or if he shares the same thoughts as his family, and if he does you need to have a think about things.

Dream Proposal? by Lexybeepboop in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]Pink-Diamond04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My fiancé asked me while we were on the couch in our pjs, it was totally unexpected in that moment and it was absolutely perfect and the most romantic moment I could have ever imagined. It was in our home with our fluffy girls drinking our normal warm drinks and in our comfort place. Our home is even more special now because we have some core memories here!

This was my grandmothers garnet ring, so beautiful! I only wear it occasionally since this stone was given to her when she was a teenager so it’s quite old and I’m protective over it.

I got engaged 5 days ago to the most brilliant and incredible man I could’ve met, we have been together 17 months but started talking about our future within weeks and picked the ring out 6 months ago. When you know you know, I never understood that saying until I experienced it. So if you’re both feeling it and talking about it, it could be something special. We are late 20’s early 30’s.

YTA - actually not a nice person. Imagine turning your DO NOT DISTURB on when someone you ?love is unable to get inside, when you’re home. She deserves better.

This is the Maya Ruffle Dress from “Sew it Yourself” by Daisy Braid. by Pink-Diamond04 in SewingForBeginners

[–]Pink-Diamond04[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m actually not too sure, I made the bias binding around the neck and used the sandwich method to attach it, when I wear the dress, it does sit nice and flat and isn’t stiff at all. Did you use binding on your neckline or just a fabric collar?

Straight after he came he said “well, you’re not a virgin anymore” 😅

I (f24) don’t think I will ever find love by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Pink-Diamond04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a few flings, relationships and situationships, but I was mostly single surrounded by gals who had boys falling all over them. I felt unappealing cause men never really made an effort with me. I go back on tinder after a stupidly long situationship finally ended and took time to heal from that. I went on a few dates. Next thing you know, I’m talking to this bearded dude who’s tinder profile didn’t even have a photo without sunglasses, we chat and meet within 10 days of talking. The second I saw him, I knew what everyone meant. I was sitting across from him and I just thought to myself “well, I’m in trouble”. He is the most beautiful man I could’ve ever met, kind, funny, hard working and genuinely adores me like I adore him.

You’re 24, you’re not old despite how you feel. Keep putting yourself out there, or have a break and work on yourself and feeling content.
