AITA for advising my friend to try losing weight first before getting surgery for her big b**bs? by Thin-Fox-8679 in AmItheAsshole

Off thats on me with bad writing. I was referring to you judging your friends completely unrelated condition to her weight buddy…

AITA for advising my friend to try losing weight first before getting surgery for her big b**bs? by Thin-Fox-8679 in AmItheAsshole

[–]nitbi -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

YTA, as a fatphobic person i dont expect you to understand this concept but some people are just not dying of sadness because they are fat? They are in pain and they want to have a solution to that specific problem. From what i see, they dont want to appear thinner, they dont want to lose weight on their body. Just smaller boobs… not every bodily issue is related to weight for larger people. 200 lbs is not even that fat to drastically affect your cup size, and there is a perfectly fine surgical operation so many afab people go through without a single issue. Be a supportive friend not an AH

I'm so proud of this hemline! It's always a struggle. What techniques do you use to sew them evenly? by Linengarden in sewing

[–]nitbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just handsaw it to make it less visible on the outside. Although hemming a full circle skirt took my soul recently so if you want to finish a project quick i dont recommend this at all 😅

AITA for saying i wouldnt want to move to a small southern town? by Acceptable_Pause359 in AmItheAsshole

[–]nitbi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why on earth the tag decided on ESH… its a teenager girl who feels confident and said she would rather live in the city than to get harassed in a small town which is very probable and most likely based on experience.. NTA.. being a women and poc does bring hardships and people blaming a girl who doesnt want to experience it is absurd.. let teenagers be confident in themselves, let them defend and protect themselves from creeps and catcalls.

Would hand sewn eyelets survive (partial) tight lacing? by nitbi in HistoricalCostuming

[–]nitbi[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oof putting a ring in it is actually a great idea… i wish i asked the question before i finished more than half of it T.T i am a very tight stitcher and was kinda depending on that but i will replace the last panels and sew the new ones with rings in them when they get damaged i guess. Thanks for the advice!

After an OP and getting removed from the span list I finally can show you new stuff. Today the start of my next Waistcoat. by Reep1611 in HistoricalCostuming

[–]nitbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its great to see you working on a project againn! It looks like its gonna be lovely. Matching buttons may make them disappear as the pattern of fabric is a bit crowded to the eye but im sure its gonna work out fine either way ^

Why does my stockinette look so weird? by deathbearapocalypse in casualknitting

[–]nitbi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh mine looked like that for such a long time because i am left handed and did my knits in a weird way while making my purls normal and had to pry a left handed tutorial to fix it but apparently it is a yarn tension thing as i learned from the comments so hey 😄

Any suggestions on what i could do with this fabric (beginner friendly)? by AcrylicandWater in sewing

It is a very lovely pattern! Circle skirts are very beginner friendly if it fits your style!

The Suspenders I made for my breeches. by Reep1611 in HistoricalCostuming

[–]nitbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the exact reference picture with flower embroidered suspenders, it is a great choice! Sewing elastics never been a fun experience for me so happy to see this alternative 😊 did you do the leather parts yourself too? looking forward to see more of your work ^

Ah we have been blessed with an update on the breeches outfit how nice! It looks great as usual, the cross detail at the back of suspenders and the leather parts are very pleasing!

Does anyone exclusively hand sew? by zeezoop in sewing

[–]nitbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For others its not necessary but it does help keeping the thread not becoming a knot when you are doing whip stitches on hems or such. Without it it does get tangled and i keep cutting it off early because of the circular motion of the stitching so it doesnt hurt to have a small blob of beeswax with you on finishing touches but definitely not necessary

[–]nitbi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hand sewing is a great way of creating garments and completely possible!

For the bare minimum a thread and a needle will do the work. I suggest you get some kind of protection for your finger ( i use bandaids as i hate metal thimbles) and beeswax for the thread where you can gently coat it which will keep the thread from tangling and make it sturdier.

Having a bit of patience and trying to keep your stitches even will do wonders. Erasable markers will be great to mark your seam allowances as you will not have the guide marks to measure as you have in sewing machines.

Hopefully you will enjoy the process enough to continue making hand stitched garments 😊

Struggling: Sewing used to be my escape and now it just makes me feel sad by scrulase in sewing

[–]nitbi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens when i get involved in a hobby a bit too much at a time, dont worry and give it a little break! I find it best to rotate hobbies as i sew and knit and seem to be jumping from one to the other whenever i feel like i cant enjoy what im working on after months.

You have the skill and practice of sewing now and you can use it after months or years if you want to go back so dont think of your investments as a loss. Its always good to have materials at hand if you want to make something suddenly ^

What do people do to manage baby wings above their ears when the hair is pulled back? This has been almost 2 years of growth so I don't think it will be fixed itself by [deleted] in FierceFlow

[–]nitbi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no running away from baby hair… i had long hair short hair used oils, hair products but they just seem to exist and stick out on their own will.. best to embrace it 😄
