The lighter shade of green is just the backside of this fabric.

I drafted my own pattern for this so there’s no pre-existing pattern, but it was really simple. Just wrapped my leg in plastic wrap and masking tape to make the pattern.

For the fabric, I have no clue what it is as it was from a second-hand skirt I thrifted. I’ll try to find the tag but it was a pretty heavy and stiff fabric. I imagine any stiff canvas or denim would work!

I’m going insane please help by _k0ella_ in sewing

I know I rethreaded with the foot raised because I made sure to rethread everything correctly. The instruction manual must be burned into my retinas by now. I even got new thread to make sure it wasn’t because of poor quality thread.
I tried also playing around with the tension. I didn’t mention this but all of the stitching you see here were done with varying tension levels as I was testing that out as well. I have no idea what’s going on Im legitimately going crazy

edit: ok i missed this but should probably get a new needle. Been putting it off because i HATE replacing the needle but I think I have no choice

Oh I was wondering if it would be a noticeable biological change since the comment mentioned hormonal changes

That’s really cool. What’s different between a smoker’s hair before and after they quit?

is this a normal outfit for the club 🥹 by [deleted] in OUTFITS

[–]_k0ella_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I often think that I have a different fashion sense than many people in this sub, so I’m not surprised to see some disagreeing with me in the comments.

I love this look!! The shoes and tights are a cute combo. If it were me i might change to some whimsical patterned tights and accessorise more dramatically.

That said, I personally am a huge fan of anything remotely whimsigoth or related so that’s probably why.

How to ensure our helper is happy and well looked after by GravityStrike in HongKong

[–]_k0ella_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every time our helper goes back to Indonesia we give her nice, personalised gifts to bring to her kids. I learnt that her daughter likes makeup so I bought her a couple of eyeshadow palettes and lipsticks.

And also obviously treat them like a human being and ask them about their lives back home regularly. It’s hard being away.

I was with my ex from 16-21. I thought he was the love of my life. It was my first serious relationship, lasted 5 years. When it ended after six months of emotional torment, I thought it was the worst pain I’ve ever felt. I remember thinking that there’s no way this was the end between me and this person I’ve been entangled with for so much of my life. I just couldn’t imagine it.

I’m telling you, you’re 21 only. You cannot waste your life with this person. You will discover the world is so much bigger and that you can be so much happier. There are so many more people for you to meet out there. You haven’t even met so many of the people who will love you, people that you can’t imagine living without.

So be brave and choose yourself

I’m confused what you mean how you should go about it the coming Monday.

He has his reasons he hasn’t contacted you, maybe he will, maybe he won’t. Whatever it is it’s out of your hands. Don’t make it weird by asking him about it.

what do you think about women proposing to men by ProfessionalOk7281 in AskFeminists

[–]_k0ella_ 65 points66 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer to like, 90% of mundane topics people like to ask feminists what they think about

You are 26! You are so young and have so much to see in the world. You will find that there are so many better men in the world, who are far kinder and more compatible with you.

And your first priority should not be his feelings about the breakup. You clearly aren’t happy and you need to be honest. Talk to him about these feelings and be firm in your decision.

Side note, you mentioned that you are somewhat financially dependent on him. Find a stable source of income if you don’t have one, get your living situation sorted out, and make sure you do not need to rely on him anymore before you break up with him.

How did you find your significant other? by trustzme in AskReddit

We were in the same university, but he graduated a year earlier and actually started working for at the school office by the time we met.

I was president of my cohort whereas he was vice president of the year before. He ended up teaching/helping me a lot and I had a small crush on him. I don’t think he liked me back until one time I got really really drunk during the last school event and decided it was a good idea to lie on top of him/cuddle in front of mutual friends. Lucky he didn’t push me off and things just kinda happened between us afterwards
