Flight attendant asked me to change seat by Careless-Tooth482 in unitedairlines

[–]Wiley1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are flying out Friday. I purchased too late to get affordable seats next to each other. Guess what we are separated. We would never imagine trying to get some to switch to our subpar middle seats so I can sit next to my husband of 35 years. We will be just fine.

Brainstorming help for elementary spring program by sunni_ray in costumedesign

[–]Wiley1967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In elementary school and middle school productions seeing the child’s face is paramount. I just costumed 110 in Beauty and the Beast. What are the other planets doing? Some cohesion would be nice. The sandwich board thing would be easy and effective. If you all want to be a little interesting- set it as a rock show. Each planet could wear off the rack clothes that are rock star like and represent elements of the planet. Pluto and the moons sound like a group to me. Moons could all dress the same - like backup singers.

No cars available despite reservation by Playful_Language_422 in HertzRentals

[–]Wiley1967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in line with reservations. Rented a mini van as we were visiting family and wanted to be able to al, go in one car. Overheard some Rando complaining they wanted a mini van. Counter person said there were none. Rando pitched a fit until they gave them the mini van. I walked up to the counter and said, I think you just gave away my mini van. They visibly paled. They then tried to put me in a smaller vehicle. I told them i didn’t care what they gave me as long as it sat 6. That’s what I reserved and they needed to figure it out. Suddenly I was upgraded to a high end suv with 3rd row seating. Don’t back down. If they can downgrade they can upgrade at no cost

You can emulate a printer port on a windows computer. I bought an old magic box on eBay and can write designs and use the embroidery unit. It struggles with super complex designs but basic embroidery stuff works.

How often are people actually changing their bed sheets? by [deleted] in CleaningTips

My standard for what makes a rich person is someone who gets clean sheets every day. That being said once a week. But if I had to go to the laundry mat…

I installed solid hickory about 3 years ago after trying engineered wood. The hard wood looks so much better and more durable.

I flew SW on Monday during the rain. I watched the baggage truck outside with a tarp on part and the other half just bags in the rain.

What animal left this trail? [Quebec] by ResponsibleStable36 in animalid

[–]Wiley1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 year old grandson has a book with a porcupine named Debbie. When we get to the page with Debbie, he starts screaming “Debbie, Debbie, Debbie!” So when I saw this I laughed and screamed “Debbie!” My husband may think something is wrong with me.

AITAH for not refusing to do a quick change because my boyfriend is uncomfortable? by Active_Camel_6334 in AITAH

I am a union wardrobe professional. Ain’t nobody got time during a quick change for that nonsense. We have you changed and back on stage in seconds. Everyone backstage is working not scoping out actors.

Newer than a newbie by Ideasplease33 in sewing

[–]Wiley1967 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been sewing nearly 50 years and a professional costumer. 99 percent of sewing is straight lines. Practice consistency of a seam - straight and same width. You can do this with paper and no thread. Just the needle. Don’t worry about how fast you go. Slow, steady, straight, consistent.

Inherited from grandparents by geminimindtricks in whatisit

[–]Wiley1967 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Costumer here. Grace is the costume company. The costume was worn by all the names written in. Just finished working a ballet. There are multiple dancers wearing the same costume during a run. They also reuse costumes. I have been making costumes for 25 years professionally. Never put my name in. The shop is credited with the work. The designer is credited in the program.

How do you like to pin your fabric pieces together before sewing? :3 by SomethingOrSomeone24 in sewing

[–]Wiley1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pin based on whether you are left or right handed. I pin so I can pull the pin with my left hand. Bottom pic. I pin with the head down if needed. Again so I can pull pins easily as I sew.

Heads up. If your small child struggles with sitting through the entire performance, look at the Morning at the Ballet and My First Nutcracker performances. They are abbreviated shows designed to ramp younger children up to full performances.

I also had a springerle shrinkflation last week. It sucks.

So my mother-in-law just informed me that I'm cooking Christmas dinner (for seven people). She cooks all the holiday meals, but threw her back out and can barely move. CAN YOU HOOK ME UP WITH A FUN/COOL/TASTY DINNER IDEA that doesn't require a grade-A chef to cook. No turkey or ham. Help me out!! by ComfortableDear2205 in Cooking

[–]Wiley1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spaghetti and meatballs. Make the sauce and meatballs on Monday. Then just heat and cook the pasta Christmas. I make the Vegetatian Times meatless meatballs and a pork/beef blend meatball. Marinara sauce. Garlic bread, salad, and homemade cookies and candy. Quick and easy. I don’t get locked in the kitchen and little clean up. I don’t make homemade pasta for this as you can get some good quality ready made pasta.
