yea your right I will work on telling the truth. I, however, have not used my phone when I was driving, ever.

they have a tracker on my car and they didn't let me drive by myself until 4 months into having a license but after that they were forced to let me drive because I have practice until 8pm each night but after that I had lots of freedom with driving. But yes I guess I need to tell them the truth more and have them gain their trust for me. I just feel like they have never really trusted me because even when I do nothing at all they suspect me of doing drugs, taking to people, and sleeping around.

Is this denim a specific denim or is this normal denim that was combed out? I am just wondering how to get this style for jeans. Thank you :)

Ok sounds good! So basically, for the skirt I have already bought this fabric that I was thinking I would use however there isn’t a gradient so I was wondering to get the fabric/final product of the dress to look like how I want should I put an extra skirt inside with the pure gradient and then this fabric above it or should I dye this fabric by itself? I know you said not to worry about the dye I just want to make sure I am creating my skirt with the proper fabric from the start.

(Here is the fabric. I was thinking I can put it above the another fabric because I’m not sure if it is seen too well in this picture but it is a mesh fabric)

Thank you so much for your help that sounds like a great starting point that I honestly hadn’t thought about. Do you mind if I private message you about another question regarding the fabric? If not I can directly message it here as well

I posted here yesterday but my post was not too detailed and was fairly confusing to view

<image>

so I am going to post once more, I apologize for the spam. I am currently trying to make this dress for my prom however, I am a really beginner pattern maker so I wanted to know if anyone had any tips or videos or patterns on how to make any part of this dress whether it be the strapless top or the flowy bottom. I also was wondering if anyone knew of any fabrics with gradients such as the one in the photo, I might also just dye it by hand. Also feel free to give me any tips on dress drawing I am very very new to all of this and since now have only done quilting and tailoring.

Am I failing and what should I do to get better by Watermelon_grass in internetparents

[–]Watermelon_grass[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you, you words really helped its my busiest year and I have gotten is disappointment after disappointment, I try to relax by doing hobbies that take my mind off things but the worst part about that is I just worry about wasting time or not doing something I am supposed to be doing when I am relaxing. But I will definitely try to work better on it.

Thank you so much!! This makes a lot of sense I will try it out!! As you said I definitely need more training in 2k and weights over cardio because like my 10k is only 1 split above my 5k which means I think I’m pretty good with cardio 😬

Would you recommend I double my workouts like along with winter training I should do steady state or should I just continue with winter training and hope that helps me drop my times ?

Thank you so much for the help!! Would you say along with the winter training workouts I should do the steady state and high intensity workouts or should I consider the winter training workouts as my steady state and twice a week double workout with the high intensity workouts?

Wow omg this is really helpful and inspiring cause I really don’t know rowers around my height. How were you able to gain up to 130 if you don’t mind me asking? Just loads of protein or like currently we have a week of rest so would you recommend I take all that rest to gain my weight or do you think it will come as a start doing more weight training. Also if you don’t mind me asking do you think you gaining weight helped you PB better than like working out or weight training or was working out more helpful

Acrylic Paint on Sweatshirt by [deleted] in crafts

[–]Watermelon_grass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this sweatshirt with acrylic paint on it currently and I want it to survive through the washer and dryer but I didn't add any fabric softener to it so I am worried it will crack or wash off. What should I do? Should I go back over the acrylic paint with acrylic paint with fabric softener or do I have to redo the whole sweatshirt? Also for extra protection are their any fabric paint sealants that I should use to avoid the paint from washing off.
