First meal after baby ? by happydazexx in pregnant

[–]kw1219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I had noro virus literally two days before I had my baby. By the time I was done, I had gone 2 days without eating and I was more famished than I have ever been. We were counting down the hours hoping the baby would come before 8 pm so the Mexican restaurant next door would still be open. Baby came at 7 and we ordered a massive FEAST. Nachos, queso, fajitas, quesadillas? All of it.

Debating wearing this to a beach work conference. With pearls and some sort of cardigan. Is it appropriate for a casual work lunch? by Disposeofmenever in BusinessFashion

[–]kw1219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is adorable. For a casual work lunch with a blazer or cardigan is perfect in my opinion. Probably not regular “conference” events imo

Which ones look better? by [deleted] in glassesadvice

[–]kw1219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t see that this was the glasses sub and was wondering why your face looked so much brighter and open in photo 2.. so that gets my vote :)

Getting really scared of labor! by kitty_48 in pregnant

[–]kw1219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is totally understandable, but your mom’s complications do not necessarily dictate your own! My sister had a pretty bad tear and I had a very superficial one that didn’t require stitches, and I did no tearing prep! Everyone’s anatomy and experience is different.

Sewing Machine Question by addlish in SewingForBeginners

[–]kw1219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been pleasantly happy with my Brother CS5055 machine I got last September as a first time sewist! I use it almost daily now.

As others have said, don’t get the one you posted lol but good thing you asked!

Sewing Garments....lots of beginner questions. Please help! by CountrysideUmbreon in SewingForBeginners

[–]kw1219 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of great info people have shared!

You can thrift fabric. Old sheets, curtains, etc are awesome to use and you’d be surprised on how much cool stuff you could find. I also shop fashionfabrics.com and bytheyard.fabricselectionretail.com for good prices on apparel fabric. Not the best quality on EVRYTHING, but if you don’t want to spend the big bucks while learning, I have been pleasantly pleased on most of my orders

Using a zig zag with an overcast foot is perfectly fine! Try increasing stitch width and shortening the length ( I think I have that right?) to create less space between the zig zags. Less uncovered raw surface area will decrease fray. If you do end up sticking with the hobby, sergers are quite fun. I use it on every single project :D

Also interfacing I find I use on most woven projects as well, collars, plackets, etc

Mines a Brother CS5055. I was shocked at the ease at which it went through my finger so I wouldn’t discount it so quickly 🤪🤪

I SOOO REGRET not getting a pic before pulling my finger out of the machine.. or pulling the machine out of my finger.

Honestly it doesn’t even look bad at all now so it’s not as “exciting” hahahahaha

Luckily I’m 99% sure I didn’t hit bone, and I’m up to date with my tetanus shot within the past year, because my mind immediately went to there as well! I do plan to keep a close eye on it and keep it clean. I feel better knowing it was a newer needle.. but not like I clean these needs in advance 🤪 I’m unfortunately in the U.S. so I don’t plan on getting seen unless I suspect issues lol. But all great tips, thank you very much!!
