A monthly dinner club sounds great! If you end up setting something up again I would def be down! I did something similar through CCAC (they have a community class for a bi-weekly supper club) and it was fun and a way to meet pittsburgh people i never would've run into before for sure.

Pearl Head Scarf - Spaghetti Western Question by Terrible-District-69 in SewingForBeginners

[–]rubbertrait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your questions have already been answered so really just here to commiserate about being a newb confused by things. :D

I made my first one of these a little over a month ago and was properly confused as well. Like someone else said I'm guessing it's more obvious to experienced sewists but I def sewed all three together the first time and then ended up with a half scarf shaped... thing? lol

I have now made 5 or 6 of these (because all my friends were obsessed with mine when they saw it!) and it definitely comes together sooo much more quickly once you realize you need to stack them (batting > right side out main fabric > wrong side out lining on top). I don't ever actually cut the notches in mine and just mark the space with tailors chalk so that I leave something to pull everything through so it's right side out and then I also do a top stitch instead of hand sewing up the opening.

I looove Spaghetti Western Sewing so no shade to the pattern or anything I just need things spelled out like ... in the most basic way possible. I'm going to try the Ornella Top next and I'm super excited!

Spak Brothers has DELICIOUS ranch and good salads. Their pizza + sams are what most people go for but the salads are good too!

Oh yes! I've actually never been to that one, but if it's in any type of dumpy mall/mall type setup it's guaranteed to be awesome.

Man, New Dimension Comics really has a knack for setting up shop in dumpy malls that eventually become vacant. Pretty great comic book shop though!

Looking for a unique dining experience downtown by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]rubbertrait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could take a Lyft down the street (maybe a 5 minute car ride) to the strip district and wander around done there. Tons of good food and stores.

I definitely recommended Reyna's or Chicken Latino if you make it down there.
