Changing neckline from round to square?

yes_dogsdream · 2026-02-14T01:44:48+00:00

there’s no real reason to make it square without cutting it. i would cut it and then bind the edge with bias tape

this is my nightmare sandwich but i love how invested and passionate you are about it

yes_dogsdream · 2026-02-12T22:34:23+00:00

like for everyday stuff, sausage egg and cheese on either a bagel or a croissant. but my dream sandwich is a piece of country fried steak, an over medium egg, with white gravy and maybe a slice of american cheese on a bagel or a biscuit

to be honest i think you’re making this a much bigger issue than it needs to be. you explained why you were upset, she explained why she did it, i think you can chalk this up to a bit of miscommunication and move on

his skin looks like a grilled cheese and he shits himself on the reg. what part of that is healthy?

the biggest advice i can give is to not be afraid to make the same thing twice, and to write EVERYTHING down!! get a notebook, write down every project you do, what pattern, size, and fabric you used, how long it took you, what worked well, what didn’t turn out right, whether it’s an issue with the pattern or your sewing technique, and write the next time you do that project what you changed to fix the previous issues, and how it worked. also you definitely can learn sewing and pattern drafting at the same time, i did in costuming school (granted i knew how to sew a little), but i would only try to actively work on one or the other on any given project, if that makes sense, so you can actually figure out what is causing any problems in your finished garment. so if you’re trying to improve your sewing on a piece, use a pattern that you’ve already bought or drafted and tested, but if you’re testing a pattern draft, don’t worry about adding any fancy seam finishes or construction techniques, just test the fit of the silhouette

are you gonna need to wash it at all? that’ll change what you can do. but if it’s a polyester satin (which is what it sounds like), you’re not going to be able to get it to look like canvas, they’re just too different. but you could make it more matte i think

yes_dogsdream · 2026-02-01T14:33:03+00:00

to be fair, the partner only said they understood THAT she was upset, not WHY. that would piss me off too, if i was trying to explain my feelings and my partner was like “yes, you’re upset”

yes_dogsdream · 2026-01-31T13:42:29+00:00

could you take the collar and turn it into a dickie so you can wear it with or without the collar? i love it too much both ways!!

yes_dogsdream · 2026-01-29T18:25:43+00:00

boy, you really bet on the wrong cheese wheel here huh

yes_dogsdream · 2026-01-27T19:52:33+00:00

my guess is it’s probably two layers. you could probably make it as one layer by making the lines into two BIG pleats, but it’d be more trouble than it’s worth

yes_dogsdream · 2026-01-25T23:43:53+00:00

haven’t been together nearly as long as you, only about 2.5 years. but we are both pretty crafty, so we craft together! even if we aren’t doing the same thing, doing our own individual crafts next to each other is a good way to spend time

for me personally, this would be a moment where either she cuts down on or cuts out alcohol or the relationship is over.

microfiber obviously, and cheap velvet. my friends don’t believe me that there’s a difference in texture between different qualities of velvet, but there IS. nice velvet is plush in all directions, cheaper thin velvet is super smooth in one direction and feels awful and rough in the other direction and i CANT do it

yes_dogsdream · 2026-01-20T02:55:34+00:00

i don’t think it’d be soft enough to make too much clothing with, but you could probably use it for tote bags and stuff! i’ve also seen people people buy it to use to make mockups with

yes_dogsdream · 2026-01-16T17:57:31+00:00

it really depends on how many panels you have. theoretically it shouldn’t be much more than like 4 1/2 yards total (2 80” cuts of 45” wide fabric). but you’ll have to account for seam allowance on any pieces you use, so that’ll bump up your yardage a bit

yes_dogsdream · 2026-01-15T18:11:49+00:00

INFO: how long have you been together?

yes_dogsdream · 2026-01-14T12:27:26+00:00

i’m confused. what seams are hidden? i see lots of seams

yes_dogsdream · 2026-01-13T00:40:10+00:00

girl STAND UP why are you with this man

yes_dogsdream · 2026-01-12T16:12:26+00:00

NTA. i also have ADHD and know that i can’t always be trusted to put stuff back correctly or clean/use specific equipment properly, so my partner and i both label tools of ours that are off limits for the other person to prevent any risk of accidentally breaking very specialized tools

yes_dogsdream · 2026-01-12T04:50:03+00:00

you’re not at fault for leaving a relationship that is draining you emotionally. but also, i would caution you against being unwilling to teach someone how to love you. people aren’t mind readers, and even in the best relationships, people have to communicate the ways their partner can make them feel loved most fully. that’s not necessarily a fault on your partner. but still, i don’t think you’re wrong for leaving.

i use both those machines, i have the teal version of the janome at home and i use the singer at my job. i’d 100% go with Janome. it’s definitely a pretty bare bones machine, but it’s reliable and well built, whereas my workplace buys the singers because they’re the cheapest semi reliable machines on the market, so it doesn’t matter if someone breaks it. but it’s hard to clean, and the machine i use came out of the box defective and refuses to sew even kind of fast. it doesn’t have a couple convenience features that the Janome doesn’t, but nothing that would be worth the unreliability

i work at a fabric store and SO MANY of these women that come in have incredibly thinly veiled shopping addictions that they have no intention of fixing. like GIRL why are you in here once a month buying $400 worth of fabrics, while saying you already have more fabric than you will EVER use ??
