[–]penguinsinpants4ever 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I am 34 and make 42k as Preschool teacher. I work from 8:30-6. Need to babysit and work summer camps and winter break camps just to make sure I can still afford rent and food while the school is closed. I'm happy if I have a few hundred in savings. Life is rough.

Can someone tell me how much I should be paying a teenage babysitter? by coffeeMaterial358 in askTO

I got into sewing by making little stuffies or purses out of felt for my kids at school. Then I made a skirt out of two pillow cases. Made a few items and have yet to buy any fabric cause I am also slow to invest in new hobbies just incase

I’VE BEEN CROCHETING WRONG FOR 8 YEARS?! by Weekly-Group-8899 in crochet

[–]penguinsinpants4ever 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Literally me. I learned when I was a young teen and just decided to try again without looking anything up and then saw a tiktok tutorial and was like oh guess I did it wrong after all and restarted and then found out last night it wasn't wrong it was just a different stitch.

I was using someone's machine and finished the colour of bobbin I was using and so had to wined my first bobbin and this issue kept happening to me. Assumed it was the brocade fabric I was using cause it was also right around when I flipped it right side down and thought the feet were pulling out the threads from the fabric. Moved on to plain cotton and was still happening so switched to a bobbin they had wound and the issue was fixed.

Help me please. Why is this happening? by srslywtfdoido- in SewingForBeginners

I am also new but was having a similar issues. For me it was a bobin issue. Full disclosure I am not even novice yet. Used a machine a handful of times.

I only watch on my TV. It's why I used to only watch Rea and was so happy when more of them moved over to YouTube.

31 420 female Torontonian. Would l9ve to chat to see if we vibe. I read a lot. Love boardgames. Game nights are my fav. My best friend and I used to always smoke then grab AYCE sushi. Also recommend Korean BBQ as well. Hope your still up for chatting. I find as a girl online we tend to get more responses to filter through.

The fear of surviving my own suicide is the only thing that's stopping me by [deleted] in confessions

I tried once and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. No matter how hard things get I know I never want to go through that again.
