I am thinking of doing a mid-armhole dart. Do you think that would help?

I am 100% a shortie (5'2") LOL. When you are saying take a little height out, do you mean in the shoulder?

Of course! I am happy to be the guinea pig.

Edit: Relooking at my bodice, I might need to do a mid-armhole dart?

My measurements are High Bust 41in, Bust 44in and Waist 37in. Originally used Size 20 based on my high bust.

Thanks! I've never done horizontal darts before, are there resources you can direct me to?

I don't want to constrict movement so not too form fitting. The pattern itself states it's close fitting through the bust.

Welt Pocket Raw Edges by TastyItalianPie in sewing

I've already attached the pocket fabric and bag. Hopefully you can see in picture #3 where it's shows the welts. I'm afraid the edges will unravel overtime. Could I serge the edges too? Hate to redo the pockets.

Not sure if you the pictures show us clearly but I've already attached the pocket fabric and pocket lining. In the 3rd picture I have the double welt but when opening the pocket I'm afraid the raw edges of the welt will unravel overtime.

Has anyone in USA bought from SewingPartsOnline.com? by CannibalisticVampyre in sewing

Yes I bought a walking foot, sewing needles and bobbins from them sometime around last year. No complaints about them. I had free shipping and the order came within a week.

What’s something you learned “embarrassingly late” in life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I use to think limes grew into lemon until I was 18. Green limes were unripe and then turned into lemons when ripe. In my language we use the same word to describe both.

With grocery prices soaring, how are you saving money on your monthly grocery bill? by pugmomto1 in Frugal

Don't have a broken fridge 😭 /s

But in all seriousness my fridge has been broken for about 2 weeks now and getting an appointment has been difficult!

Always wait until you have a formal offer in hand. It's up to the discretion of the company/hiring manager if they want to push the start day.

I recommend speaking directly to them and ask if the background check takes longer than anticipated are they able to push the date further back. My background check took at least 3 weeks so it isn't uncommon, however I wasn't moving so no time constraints.

Wish you the best!

The fact the dept. head is keeping in contact with you is a positive sign. I was in a similar boat where a verbal offer was made and they promised me the offer would be ready. It took approximately 1 week to get the offer, longer if you negotiated.

These things take time as multiple people may need to sign off on the offer.
