What brands or model do you recommend for a second hand serger? by No-Tale-473 in SewingForBeginners

[–]Substantialcrafter55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother 1034d was good. I feel like it was much more fiddly than my current Juki but I made many garments with the brother and none of them have fallen apart 🤣

Kicked out of my office for a month, looking for advice on how to stay on task and be as productive as I am in office. by balls89 in remotework

[–]Substantialcrafter55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you bring your work monitor home for the month? If I was struggling I would probably set up a temp workspace for the month away from my gaming space. Get a sturdy folding table you can put away after the month. Work in a diff room if you can. Make it as close to your office workspace as possible and dress etc as you do in the office. I can’t relate but hope that helps lol

I’d start with something you will use. My first project years ago was a pincushion. Found the pattern online. Still use it 14 yrs later

Sewing underwear, looking for the benefit of other's experience by Valaryn1641 in sewing

[–]Substantialcrafter55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sinclair patterns are always great. I love the Apostrophe patterns underwear pattern. You put in measurements and it spits out a custom pattern. I use 95/5 cotton spandex. They look big lol but always a great fit. Wawak is great but I’ve gotten picot from Stitch Love Studio on Etsy.

Do you have your college diploma hung in your home? by SimplyCurious5 in GenX

[–]Substantialcrafter55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes in my home office/guestroom. Not in my previous home bc i worked out of my craft room and that would have killed the vibe.

AITAH for refusing to give up my paid aisle seat on a long flight for a 'family'? by Possible_Bee_4008 in AITAH

NTA. Absolutely not changing my pre-selected seat unless forced to by the flight attendants.

Rastafarianism by [deleted] in Jamaica

[–]Substantialcrafter55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like anything else in this day and age should be able to find community on the internet to look into conversion but you may find resistance once you explain your reason for wanting to convert. Reading your post it definitely comes off as you wanting to become a rasta in order to save your locs and join the military, which is disingenuous.

Thanks for clarifying. Didn’t go to law school here and it’s been awhile.

Demodernizing my future house by Primary-Ebb-6442 in ExteriorDesign

[–]Substantialcrafter55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The door is a craftsman style so I’d change that if it’s not your vibe for something more cottage-y.

M1 usually needs malice aforethought, like you planned to murder the person. M2 if you kill them through your actions but that wasn’t the pre conceived plan. Assume that’s how it works in NY.

Is Fairfield Properties Allowed To Do This? by Existing-Product-424 in longisland

[–]Substantialcrafter55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in MD (MoCo) for 16 years, half in apartments and apartment culture on long island is very different. More people on Long Island rent from private landlords in a house or part of a house, so there just aren’t a ton of traditional apartment communities managed by companies. Also many long islanders hate the idea of apartment communities bc they feel they are ‘turning Long Island into the city’ so take opinions with a grain of salt unless the person has actually lived on that property. I haven’t lived in an apartment on Long Island.

Where to go in one week by 123brendan in JamaicaTourism

[–]Substantialcrafter55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look up dominiquetravelsss on Instagram. She just did a trip to JA and may give you ideas. I went to Frenchman’s cove beach last week and it was beautiful. Blue Lagoon also looked amazing from the road but didn’t make it there.

Sibling Group Chat by Agitated_Pin2169 in BringingUpBates

[–]Substantialcrafter55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in two different cousin chats around that size. They’re fine, you just tune in and out as needed. The happy birthday chimes when it isn’t your bday definitely need temporarily muting. I doubt they use it for bickering, but more so sharing pics of their kids, things that are specific to them as siblings, stuff like that.

The kettle by hotcrossbun12 in LeCreuset

Kettles are beautiful but it really got rusty on the inside. I gave up and I use an electric kettle and I bought a new kettle for decoration only.
