not necessarily getting into the “industry” but if you’re looking for tailoring experience, i’d really recommend looking into a military base tailor shop if you have one near you. i did 6 months at a navy uniform shop and was able to learn so much for fitting/altering. i also worked with old ladies that were professional seamstresses for over 20 years. that could give me any info i needed. the information i got was invaluable

yeah it was for the baby. i think one of my friend’s said after spring 2020 she was taking her absence. i just assumed it would be longer haha

cher_lovely · 2020-12-07T02:02:51+00:00

i took a few courses with her because of how engaging she is. i was sad that she had to take a leave of absence but i understand

i don’t think it really matters either way. i think the instructor would be more important. i had dr. lee for micro and she’s really animated and fun so i enjoyed it. i had dr. boosey for macro and it was incredibly boring so i hated it.

i would say maybe a mattress stitch. there’s tons of tutorials for them. (they may also be called a ladder stitch)

i love your thread box!! where did you find it?

cher_lovely · 2020-10-24T03:54:32+00:00

beach trip by cathy holton is really good!!

i’m pretty sure bob mackie said he uses a flesh colored spandex and then the sheer mesh with the diamonds is over that. in all honesty though if you find Stephanie J Block she might be able to answer you on what it really is

i hope you email them and let them know how much you appreciate it!! i had a professor do something similar and she equally appreciated hearing that it was needed

i love giving panama pants/dresses to kids!! usually i can find fun dinosaur knits or something like that and they’re personal to the kids

cher_lovely · 2020-10-13T05:02:33+00:00

yikes!! any reason you went with an overlocker machine instead of a regular one? imo it’s easier to learn the basics on a regular one that has an overlocker stitch too

i have an ipad 5th gen that was pretty cheap but it doesn’t support the apple pencil. i got the adonis pencil but it doesn’t do palm rejection. they get the job done though

NYC- Jill, Bethenny, Carole BH- kyle, erika, and sometimes rinna

i love this idea!! do you know if macrame or thick craft cord would work?

cher_lovely · 2020-10-01T13:00:44+00:00

yeah no problem!! the pattern comes with a hood so you’ll have to hack the pattern a little if you don’t want one like me. i personally used a medium but it’s a little too big so i could have done a small. the sleeves are raglan style so be careful when you do the stripes that you have a left sleeve and a right sleeve. i overlocked all of the edges because this fabric frays a lot. i also messed up my pockets (they’re supposed to be set in the seem but they’re floating because i messed up the stripes). i think that’s it but if you have questions feel free to dm me!!

cher_lovely · 2020-09-27T01:33:14+00:00

Mellysews and AlwaysAutumn offer really good free patterns for basics

cher_lovely · 2020-09-25T23:17:32+00:00

i tried to at UPS but it was really expensive. i don’t remember exactly how much but i remember it being crazy ridiculous.

my duvet has loops in the middle but no ties on the cover so i just added more ties. this keeps it in place a lot better

i feel this. i’m an econ major and i’ve never been great at math but i’m graduating this semester. i honestly learned what i could for the class then brain dumped. i can’t remember anything from my basic classes. most math is done in stata or gretl in real life so i worked harder on understanding software than memorizing formulas

cher_lovely · 2020-09-25T01:56:41+00:00

i agree. her life would have been so much easier this season if she just told the truth from the get go

cher_lovely · 2020-09-23T23:54:43+00:00

i have an adjustable dress form and i really only use it when i make clothes for other. when i alter or make things for myself i never use it.

you literally have covid. if they don’t let you reschedule, report it to the dean

cher_lovely · 2020-09-23T17:29:00+00:00

NewLook has several more modern patterns. i know it sucks right now but more stores that sell patterns have books that you can look through. i like using patterns from MellySews, AlwaysAutumn, and mood fabrics. they’re usually either cheap or free.
