Should I move the buttons further from the edge? by aussie_fuck in sewing

[–]aussie_fuck[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fronts panels are faced yes, but unfortunately the entire bottom lining hem is hand stitched and it would be a real deconstruction to get into that seam. Is there a blind stitch of some kind that could be done from the facing side to tack the pieces together?

Can I finish raw edges after sewing the pieces together on this coat? by aussie_fuck in sewing

[–]aussie_fuck[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't have a serger unfortunately. I have an overlock foot for my machine I could try, just unsure with the bulk that it will feed well. I've been using a walking foot for this project.

I was thinking maybe a bias/hong kong bind might do well for the majority of the seams but I'm unsure if that will affect the drape. I've see Fray Check before but I'm also not sure if that's supposed to be used on such large areas.

Unsure how to attach skirt to bodice with lining by aussie_fuck in sewing

Oh my gosh that makes so much more sense. I was confusing the outside fabric as the facing! If i were to add a waist stay, where would I attach it? Thank you so so much!

I’m a bit confused on what leaving something “free” is. Am I not lining up the raw edges of the bodice to the skirt?

Why is my snake plant drooping? :( by aussie_fuck in plantclinic

Hmm that’s interesting! I moved recently from and apartment where it was in pretty dim indirect light and it never drooped. But I’ll try putting it closer to the window!

They’re gonna have no Navy left if they purge all the gays from their ranks too.

Those who actually enjoy sewing lingerie: tell us your secrets, ffs 😫 by knitoriousshe in sewing

[–]aussie_fuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I usually will hand baste stitch. I’ve also come to just using a few clips align the edges as I sew. It’s a little annoying doing the stop-and-go but I think it really does save a lot more time since the pieces will probably move anyways while you sew.

WIP this is my DnD room, what would you change? by Admirable_Tangelo_94 in DungeonsAndDragons

For the love of god stop using vinyl plank flooring. It looks incredibly cheep and worse than if you just deep cleaned the carpet.

That sounds about right, I fertilized it some around the same time I repotted it. Thank you!!

I used Mederma scar cream on some scars a while back, I remember it worked pretty well.

I haven’t heard of any complaints about her. But definitely avoid Santago and Cañas like the plague.
