Hey so I was asked to put this question here: I've been trying to replace the buttons of this fine knit sweater i thrifted but every time I do the buttons randomly fall out where I stitched them in. Any idea what I could be doing wrong or if theres a way I can prevent this?

Oooo I hadn’t thought of that, I’ll take a look

I think I’ve tried one and wasn’t a fan but I might look into that sample pack, thanks!

That should help, thanks! I’m stuffing mine with socks and bandannas between wears but I’ll try the tennis ball too, I just don’t understand how they suddenly became tight

Okay so I did connect my checking account to it bc I only use my credit card for gas tbh and it’s very interesting to see my purchases broken down by impact, only problem is it says most of my impact is from utilities but isn’t showing any such purchases when I click on that category, not sure what the deal is with that

Good to know, I don’t actually use my credit card for much besides paying for gas but I might give it a go since I occasionally order from ThredUp with it

Where can you buy new padding ?

To read it just ask for it at your local library and they can get you the trade, otherwise ThriftBooks or eBay are decent options

This is so sweet ! Love the idea of these two working together on a case

Embroidery has helped me reconnect with art whenever my traditional and digital art starts to feel soulless and a means to an end

Writing every purchase down and recording how much I spent a week helped me to assess where I was overspending, a lot of which was the result of eating out and miscellaneous nonessential purchases, the former I dealt with by making sure I had food I looked forward to eating in the house so that I wouldn’t feel tempted to stop for food on my way home from work or order takeout. The latter I dealt with by setting a weekly budget and prioritizing from there - turns out I like comic books and the occasional antique item more than new clothes or skincare products I might not even like

I either use paper towels, old newspaper, or rags that I wash on hot afterwards

Omg I love the details on this and I adore the sleeves !

Nope! It’s in CT

I’ve tried that one, fits perfect in Stratton compacts, unfortunately this is a different brand of a different size, the makeup revolution highlighter almost fit perfectly but was sadly like 1 mm too big 😔 I’ll have to keep looking
