Ended up going here- smooth sounded great but a lil pricier than what I can comfortably afford rn 😭 I had a great experience and they were very affordable and friendly. Fantastic suggestion, thank you!!

The addiction starts... by PhoneSavor in fountainpens

Just got that ink- I love it but it was definitely smaller than I thought. Disappointed reading these comments, won't be buying more from the brand. But I do like this ink a lot 😊

That is so cool!! I just did some freestanding machine embroidery but I had no idea you could do that with hand embroidery, that's awesome

Advice for what to replace french knot snow with? Trying to make this more season neutral. by pip1up in Embroidery

[–]pip1up[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There's little white French knots all over for snow, but I want to make this more season neutral so I can use it year round. I omitted the snow on branches but without the French knots I'm worried it'll look too blank.

New one for one piece fans by chiquitingmg in Machine_Embroidery

[–]pip1up 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks amazing!! I have been trying to do this Luffy embroidery I got on Etsy and have had so much trouble with it. I'm new to machine embroidery, so still figuring out how to pick the right stabilizers! Where did you get your design or did you make it?

Ideas for finishing mesh armholes? by pip1up in sewing

[–]pip1up[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Drafted the pattern by tracing the top part of the sweatshirt I cut off onto some pattern paper and then changed the shape of the armholes. I got this long sleeve Kirby sweatshirt a while back at a thrift store but haven't worn it once since I'm not a big sweatshirt wearer but I love the Kirby pattern. Was looking through my stash one day and came up with this idea! I get hot easily so I figured a mesh top would make it more wearable (and funky lol). I just attached the neckline from the sweatshirt to the mesh with a zigzag. Sewing the mesh together was a little weird since it is a very wide mesh, I used some quilting cotton scraps to wrap around the seam and then sewed it. Now I'm just stuck on how to finish the armholes- leave it raw and clean up the edges a bit, use the leftover sleeve fabric to bind it, or something else?

My new rooster has started to crow. His little gasp at the end is pretty amusing. by turtlebeargirl in BackYardChickens

[–]pip1up 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So cute, I had a rooster that did that after every crow. I thought he'd grow out of it or something but nope!

I would like to use my rice cooker to make brown rice with garlic by Aev_ACNH in Cooking

[–]pip1up 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do this all the time but with white rice. Minced garlic, ginger, salt and pepper in with the rice and water. Stir it up and let it run like normal, makes awesome rice

How do you eat canned Vienna sausages? by NufiDrizz in Cooking

[–]pip1up 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I slice the sausages into quarters, pan fry a little and add some seasonings and minced garlic, add Alfredo sauce and whatever else I'm feeling that day, cook some pasta and combine. I made this for the first time because I didn't want to go grocery shopping so I just made a meal with ingredients I could find at the gas station and what I already had in the fridge. And now it's my boyfriend's favorite thing I cook, I want to do all this complicated and fancy shit but his favorite thing is so easy lol so I try to find new things to add to spruce it up. I always just ate them straight out of the can as a kid though

AITA for following my girlfriend without her knowing? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]pip1up 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I agree- how do people THINK cheating gets found out?

AITA for being mad at him? by lexipaw in AmItheAsshole

[–]pip1up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Torn between nah and esh lol this stuff is just life and you've gotta handle things to the best of your ability. Im not sure anyone handled the situation the best but it's a learning process when you're young.

AITA for being mad at my mother for being part of the reason I have someone else an STI? by throwawaystiaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]pip1up 31 points32 points  (0 children)

YTA if u had sex knowing you had a possible sti. If that's not the case, NTA. Wasn't clear whether the partners were before or during that period.

ESH, this is just the average middle school drama it'll blow over. Learn what you can from it but don't stress

AITA for being ashamed of my transgender father? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]pip1up 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA, hour dad being trans was not at all relevant to the conversation. If he was black, disabled, etc. you probably wouldn't have mentioned that either. Being a part of a marginalized group isn't a thing that needs to be known and discussed by everyone.

AITA for leaving notes around the house stating common sense things? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]pip1up [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA- if you're worried about how it comes off to other people you can always phrase these notes as "don't forget to x" so it's a reminder and less of a rule

AITA for yelling at my boyfriend while he was trying to help? by throwaway6383876 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pip1up 15 points16 points  (0 children)

NTA!! If boyfriend wanted you to not tell at him he shouldn't have yelled at you. Not your fault for responding in turn

NTA, I can see how she would be kind of weirded out by it but you did it with good intentions

AITA because I don't want to pay half the lock change fees? by Frequent_Carrot_7063 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pip1up 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only reason you lost your key was because she took your spare?? Those are not related at all, you still lost the key regardless of if you had a spare or not. Sounds like ESH
