Hi!

#usersusiedrew / #usersusiedrewarchive

if you're in an abusive situation of any kind and don't know your resources or have anyone you can talk to, please feel free to reach out to me. myself and several of my friends have been through some incredibly tough things and i can help you find resources near you. i'm in the US, but even if you're international i'll be a support for you and help try to find any info i can.

i know there are so many people out there who don't think they can get out or don't realize how bad it is. and there are more options than homeless shelters (though, they are life-saving if you need them still).

you got this. you're going to be safe. <3

this is a questionnaire about domestic abuse. this can help you gauge your situation and your safety

i'll tell you i did that quiz over and over with my ex, and i knew it was a bad situation and i stayed for too long. don't feel bad if you know you're in a bad place and you haven't left. life is complicated and feelings are complicated. just know you deserve a life of not being afraid all the time.

Jesus Tapdancing Christ... THIS is a good welt pocket and the people who designed Simplicity 2895 ought to be blasted well ASHAMED of themselves for the crap way THEY wanted a welt pocket made. *SNARLS*

This is how I learned to do it and a good example of what you want to see in a short form tutorial: pinning, pressing, seam finishing, good fabric handling.

I would mention that you can make the pocket facing with a small panel of your matching fabric that is visible and the rest in a lighter fabric to reduce bulk. That's a lot of denim layers for comfort.
