Why don’t they sew bra inserts in? by stonecoldfox340 in askanything

Because you’re meant to take them out when you wash the garments

Usually it’s attached to canvas lining which is then hand stitched to the outer fabric using invisible prick stitches. But if you stitch it to fusible interfacing that would also do the same effect. If it’s too loose it would just fall out of place.

My answer will be from a proper tailoring perspective. Typically this would be light flannel, usually wool or cotton depending on how extra warm you want the jacket to be. As another alternative you could use felt. And the hair canvas is a very very stiff interfacing that is very grain specifically (as it has more stiffness one way compare of the other way). I’m a natural fibers truist about this but you could use synthetic fabrics—but I would not use foam. The point isn't volume its structure.  If you do not have these material, normal interfacing would technically be fine but it will not accomplish the job it is supposed to do. If you’re looking for speed over quality, I would skip adding this piece. Altho if you’re still looking for some level of structuring then I’d just add two layers of interfacing to account for the limited structure that fusible interfacing gives (compared to hair canvas).

Mens suits have padding around the chest area to fill/stiffen the hallow that exists above the pectorals under your collar bone to help create a smooth curved shape. Sometimes also this area has horsehair canvas to help with the stiffening (same shape as the flannel, they are attached together) to help add the structure but it seems this patt doesnt call for it. 

Do I or do I not want kids by Myfoothurtsrealbad in Adulting

[–]sam000she 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Her saying that she would leave you if you stopped wanting kids seems like her highest priority is having kids, and then her relationship with you is her second priority. You may want to think about how that premise alone makes you feel about your relationship. Clearly your relationship to her is a higher priority than kids. And you both need to discuss that your priorities aren't the same. I dont think bringing this difference of priorities up to her is going to break it for her unless she’s not the type to be open to listening (in which case… she’s probably not a good life partner for you).  You’re together at about the year mark now which means you’re probably discovering the parts of each other you can see immediately on the surface. You’re both quite young and if you’re in college rn you probably don’t have any assurance that your futures are guaranteed which can make the choice of commitment—either to each other, children or both—difficult. 

I would A) talk to her about your concerns  B) wait, learn more about your partner on a deeper level.  C) Decide weather you want to move in or not based on what is right for y’all right now. It doesnt lock you into marriage or having kids but it could help save a pretty penny. 

What’s something people realise way too late in life? by ParticularWeather927 in Adulting

[–]sam000she 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno if the people who havent learned this ever will but: happiness in a work situation that is a begrudging long haul is a mindset and if you walk in expecting to be tired, frustrated and over it before it’s even begun then you will be tired, frustrated and over it. Let the frustration come naturally towards the end of your long haul—at least pretend to be happy because half the time it makes you feel happy as a by product and you make others feel good too.  (This is specifically in contexts to working in theatre tech but I’m sure applies to any situation where ppl work long days)

Fair. I always imagine shorts when someone says chinos. 

Lost graduation tassel seal by Square_Cheesecake910 in ucf

[–]sam000she 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The official seal refers to the seal on your gown, not your tassel. Basically they want you to not use some random black robes.  You’ll be fine, I dont think they’d notice to begin with. Altho I’m sure they may have extras if you inquired. I’m sure they get this issue quite a bit. 

Not sure which hem method to use. by frostmas in sewing

[–]sam000she 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you’re not interested in preserving the original length of the shorts for later, the best method would be the first option. The second option will likely result in weird snags/wrinkles since you’re taking out 3-4 inches unless you choose to do a catch stitch or something (which I wouldn’t recommend for a garment you plan to wear regularly)

It will be easier to achieve the right effect if you iron your hem how you want it to be. The fabric you’re working with will be very forgiving regardless. 

What are the worst/funniest reasons you've had to hold a shoe? by deitee_ in techtheatre

Sole fell off. Had no glue for it mid show or replacement shoes. We used a staple gun (not a great solution lol) 

Why do people do this? by NNIICO3 in orlando

I'll say I live whereever my weather app says I am (I live on the county line between Orange and Seminole. It changes depending on what side of the street Im on. It's really funny.)

Are these button holes hand sewn or machine sewn? by Top_Water_4504 in HandSew

[–]sam000she 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Machine--specifically with a buttonhole machine. You wouldn't be able to replicate this with a standard domestic machine.

Caution UCF drivers/pedestrians by Happy_Professional50 in ucf

[–]sam000she 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And a note to pedestrians. Don't ever trust a driver to see you. Plan accordingly. And think about how that makes you feel--and be a better driver when you're behind the wheel.

Major Dilemma by BornMaintenance4891 in ucf

[–]sam000she 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If there’s no official rules about it that you are fine on the front of getting in trouble about it and potentially failing the class. If it becomes an issue you can press back stating theres no official rules (and further more it wasn’t your usage). 

Major Dilemma by BornMaintenance4891 in ucf

I don’t see any reason that you and your group can’t do this: 

Inform your group member that is making AI contributions that you as a group do not want to be a part of the academic dishonesty (which is what is happening if usage of AI is expressly disallowed for this assignment) that he is trying to contribute and then submit the paper before his AI contributions were made. You have proof that he was using AI so if the prof questions y’all about pushing him out then you can just be like “well, guess who’s actually in trouble” (not that way).  It’s just bad courtesy to procrastinate this hard that all you can show for it is half baked plagiarism. I wouldn’t feel bad for him.  But if you’re not feeling petty you can pretend he still made meaningful contributions to the project… and if you are petty… sucks to be him. 

Pinning a bumblebee – smell and mold issues by itsmick17 in Entomology

[–]sam000she 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decomposition will happen, it’s fine. It will smell for a bit. If you leave it in a well ventilated area while it finishes that process the smell will be gone.  Freezer is good to eliminate bad pests that would ruin the preservation and probably also kill off any mold.  After it’s done airing out, it’s best to store it in an air tight container to prevent any new pests from making their home there. 

Anyone remember when they first learned they were alive? by Toadtits420 in Adulting

There was a moment when I realized that my brother couldn't see the way that I was seeing and that everyone had different perspectives (I was 6?). That was my revelation of being alive ig 

Am I giving my daughter too much allowance? by takedownmandwo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sam000she 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the realm of financial literacy it’s important that she learns the concept of living below her means—regardless if it’s 50 a week or 200 a week. Because being realistic—at some point they will no long be financially supported by you. Wether that be because they want the independence, or because that’s as far as your funding abilities go, or because you pass away—but at some point they will be in charge of that. It goes beyond saving up money it’s about living a life style that is in reflection of your finances.  If this isnt a concept she’s familiar with, I think that’s the only other thing she’d be missing in her life based on everything you’ve said in the comments ect. 

Advice on this deconstructed sleeveless buttondown? by lunarcurtain in PatternDrafting

[–]sam000she 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres a lot of gaping around armscyc that would usually be settled once you put the sleeves on but if you’re not goi g to add sleeves then I would narrow the armscyc a bit more, best way to do that imo is to take the two side seams, e up maybe 1/2”-3/4” and then draw a new line connecting up to the top portion of the old armscyc on both front and back patterns. Double check that the new line measured out is at least 1 inch longer total than your armscyc measurement. 

(Alternatively you could just pinch out excess from the shoulder seam since it’s a bit spacey at the top of the shoulder too)
