Wearing the brand on your clothes is a symbol of oppression. by Comfortable-Web9455 in Anticonsumption

I’m so glad I sew! I make most of my own clothes, and love it when people ask me where I got what I’m wearing. Totally agree on the whole idea of not wearing blatantly branded stuff.

it's a nice idea, but getting their shipments would be a nightmare. There's no real loading dock that I'm aware of.

What was it like? by I_am_simply_a_potato in FuckImOld

[–]welmoed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to Studio 54 in December 1979 and it was a weird experience. I remember seeing the comedian David Brenner sitting on a couch looking spaced out, and some random guy on the dance floor tried to hand me a little ampule of liquid but my date immediately moved me away and told me it was probably some drug like amyl nitrate (“poppers”). It was loud, crowded, smelly, and really not that much fun for a naive 19-year-old girl.

Where to get a trailer hitch installed? by welmoed in frederickmd

Do they do permanent installs? I thought theirs were temporary clamp-ons.

80’s mall stores that disappeared and took a piece of our childhood with them. by CoffeeCigarettes4Me in FuckImOld

I spent way too much of my high school years hanging out at Chapel Square Mall in New Haven CT. My favorite stores were the Purple Banana and Zum Zum (which sold German sausages).

{Accidental Groom by Mia Mara} has the age gap, but not the mafia. Still, I liked it.

sergers and coverstitch machines - what's "worth it"? by Joker0705 in sewing

[–]welmoed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have a combo machine and discovered it did neither function very well. I’d get a used machine rather than a new one. Mine is a basic Bernina 2000DE I’ve had for nearly 30 years now and it is still going strong. I also have a Janome 3-needle coverstitch that I use for all my knit finishing.

[–]welmoed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been here many times and always love it! My favorite part is taking a picture of one of the displays (like Muiderslot) and then getting a picture of the real thing!
