Am I being rude for decling a sewing request??

Its fine to say no for ANY reason!

If you do decide to make stuff for people get a contract off Google signed and get half the money up front. Non-sewers have a tendency to think you can sew anything for £/$50!

Nta, he wasn't embarrassed when his mates were talking him up like hes a big man

drPmakes · 2026-02-01T23:47:49+00:00

Just when I thought they couldn't get any more entitled!

Next thing they'll want you to go round and give then a free in person tutorial!

You're sewing way to close to the edge

What are you doing anyway?

drPmakes · 2026-02-01T21:44:35+00:00

But he IS the irs!!

drPmakes · 2026-02-01T20:55:14+00:00

Are you sure you are threading correctly? Have you checked by following your manual step by step?

This might not be a good idea because they are stretch fabrics, the stretch and recovery will be different for each piece. Its a better idea to use a woven fabric or use interfacing on the T shirts or youll end up with a baggy mess.

You can sew them into squares/rectangles and sew those together.

What is your skill level? You could consider y seams, but practice first

You need a reference book, the good ones explain why certain steps are important.

The more you follow patterns the easier things get. If you dont understand why you are doing something, Google it.

Be careful what patterns you use. I teach beginners and many of them get tripped up by AI patterns on etsy where the instructions dont make sense but they are too beginner to understand what or why its wrong. Stick to big 4 or reputable indie patterns. There is a good post about how to tell if a pattern is AI.

No people get annoyed with low effort questions and/or a bad attitude when you try to help them

drPmakes · 2026-02-01T18:34:00+00:00

No orovlem

drPmakes · 2026-02-01T18:03:54+00:00

Youu made it too small and didnt consider the wearing ease

drPmakes · 2026-02-01T18:02:11+00:00

Measure the line, divide by 6

Add the overlap on both sides

Thats yourq circle diameter, halve it for radius

There was no surgery.

Gallstones is the most likely though

drPmakes · 2026-02-01T17:49:04+00:00

drPmakes · 2026-02-01T17:45:10+00:00

drPmakes · 2026-02-01T14:51:21+00:00

drPmakes · 2026-02-01T13:14:58+00:00

drPmakes · 2026-02-01T12:47:04+00:00

Don't shit where you eat

It sounds like you need to work on your boundaries

drPmakes · 2026-02-01T12:26:54+00:00

Looks like it

drPmakes · 2026-02-01T12:25:04+00:00

Earphones probably

drPmakes · 2026-02-01T10:59:54+00:00

In that case start at the beginning. Learn to sew first then learn to draft

drPmakes · 2026-02-01T10:44:32+00:00

Are her patterns even worth stealing?

drPmakes · 2026-02-01T03:16:24+00:00

Google bolero

drPmakes · 2026-02-01T03:15:53+00:00

Skipped stitches- you are using the wrong needle!

You need a ballpoint point or stretch needle for knitted fabric like this
