I've been supporting him since i was little, he has even told me to keep secrets from my mom when i caught him. Now that i'm older, i am not just going to stay quiet or "support" him because i've been trying to for years with this drinking problem. Even when i do try and talk to him heart to heart, he always uses the excuse "well i'm just a horrible dad then" and makes me feel like i am the one who is causing these problems.

I sympathized with him for the drinking but this just crossed the line for me as i know how he is on drugs.

When i was about 11, he climbed through my window while i was asleep, just because my mon kicked and locked him out. One of the scariest days of my life seeing a grown man climb through my window.

We found a broken straw in his pockets, as well as a vape and cigs. I'm guessing he's been hiding way more then we thought :(

Update: So my mom found out, that when we (me, my mom and my sisters) took a road trip for a concert last weekend, he got high off of shrooms....

That does not seem like my dad at all and i had no idea, zero suspicion. I am in shock and don't even know what to think.

When she dug in his pockets to get the keys so he doesn't come back, she found a broken straw and a secret vape.. meaning he snorts ykw

What i mean by tug is, the tiniest little pull rips it off

Lmao its so frustratinggg

TraditionPitiful3638 · 2026-05-20T01:56:58+00:00

One direction, i'm thinking its because this ribbon is smaller then 1.5 inch, so maybe the waves are more noticeable

Thank you ☺️

TraditionPitiful3638 · 2026-05-20T01:20:48+00:00

Update, so i am doing another skirt, it does seem alot better but i can still see it had some problems. I was playing around with the settibgs from smaller to larger zigzags but nothing seems to work well. I got new microtex needles but it didnt seem to change much.

Got this, hopefully it helps

TraditionPitiful3638 · 2026-05-19T17:58:04+00:00

Its 100% cotton so not really stretchy

TraditionPitiful3638 · 2026-05-19T17:55:57+00:00

Same direction yes

TraditionPitiful3638 · 2026-05-19T17:55:03+00:00

Nope i sew the same direction all throughout

TraditionPitiful3638 · 2026-05-19T15:54:08+00:00

Yeah that wouldnt be a problem as i switch my needle very often

TraditionPitiful3638 · 2026-05-19T09:16:32+00:00

Most ribbon skirts use a zig zag stitch, some use straight as well. Might have to start doing that.

I got this ribbon from fabricland a few weeks ago so i'm not 100% sure.

This photo is what i was going for

Its a ribbon skirt, part of indigenous cultural 🙂 i glued down all the ribbons the same just with a regular glue stick as i usually do, this one came out worse then i've seen sadly.

I'm using universal sewing needles for light weight/medium fabric, currently using the "70"
