Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources

Updated just now with new hand sewing resources (mainly buttonholes) and textbook pdfs on fashion history, fashion illustration, and thinking through designs!

OP I owe you my life

[whatchamacallitz]

OP you are the greatest person currently in my life. You beautiful, thoughtful creature.

[sandersstudies]

I think a great way to improve communication with kids (and adults) is to make every yes or no question a this or that question.

I started doing it when after brain surgery my husband had trouble forming responses to questions for a while, and realized that the habit was helping my students engage more truthfully with me.

Some examples:

Yes/No: “Did you clean up your room like I told you?”

This/That: “Did you clean up already, or do you still need to do that?”

Yes/No: “Are you going to sit quietly?”

This/That: “Are you ready to sit and do our quiet activity, or do you need some time by yourself first?”

Yes/No: “Are you doing anything fun for your birthday?”

This/That: “Are you having a party on your birthday, or are you going to relax?”

I think many children (and adults!) are averse to telling adults “No,” especially when a command is implied. (“Did you clean your room?” “Are you going to sit quietly?” Hmmm if I say ‘no’ I will be in trouble with the adult.) So they are actually pretty likely to just lie and say what they think you want to hear.

Presenting a this or that question provides an alternative to lying, a ‘no, but’ scenario where they are presented with the reasonable consequences of a No (“if you’re not ready to sit quietly, you cannot do our quiet activity with us yet.”)

[unfavorableinstigation]

I find it useful professionally with adults too - "Did you have a chance to finish that project, or is it more of a next-week item?" When done sincerely (rather than passive-aggressively), it gets over rough ground lightly: it gives the other person a solution you clearly already find acceptable, so they don't have to flail around trying to defend/excuse themselves, they can just take the solution and everyone can move on.

NOHA @nohaibrahims-blog WAS JUST ATTACKED BY THE OCCUPATION IN JABALIYA!!!

Noha and her family were in Jabaliya, and were ethnically cleansed from the area by the IOF. In the process, Noha was attacked and severely beaten by IOF soldiers. She has been hospitalized with serious injuries, and is in intense pain.

Please, Noha urgently requires $250 for medication to treat her wounds and her pain!! This is extremely urgent!!! Please support her if you can, and repost and share the link!!! gofund.me/ffaf4296

As of 04:49 GMT on 25 October 2024, Ibtisam's vetted campaign (line 157) is up to $27,472 CAD of its $70,000 CAD goal.

I don't think they've received enough donations to replace their firebombed tent or pay for Nour's medication. Noha has been beaten and hurt by Israeli soldiers and also needs treatment.

[northgazaupdates]

👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼

@cantsayidont is 100% correct, Noha is still in painful recovery, and the family has almost nothing in the way of basic necessities.

Noha is required to rest in order to recover from her injuries, but this is impossible due to her impossible living situation, as their environment is chaotic and uncomfortable. They also have no food. Noha cannot recover without food. Noha’s younger sister Nour also has a continuous need for medicine, and the whole family still has basic needs that you all can help meet right now.

Let’s set a new short-term goal of $250 to help them out!

$0/$250

[thedailydescent-deactivated2025]

I hate this. I hate logging on everyday to see where the fundraisers I have been keeping an eye on are at and see that they haven't moved, or barely budged. I hate taking my eyes off their fundraiser for two seconds knowing that might mean no donations for them that day. I hate that Hazem came online three days ago to beg for people to not forget about him and his ten family members he has to take care of, while being treated for a brain tumor himself, and still, there have been no donations for more than 2 days.

Donate to Hazem. Share the fundraiser around. Do your part. Me and @victoriawhimsey and @maoistyuri can't be the only ones sharing his fundraiser.

🚨There's zionists trying to report my fundraiser claiming I'm a scam.‼️

But everyone knows I'm in Gaza and I help my fellow Gazans 😂.

Zionists will find any opportunity to lie about a Palestinian especially a Gazan, to try and make us suffer, in this case in an attempt to cut off my and my family's lifeline. We're still here and we're not going anywhere.

hi I’m appealing to you. Mohammed is the only vetter currently active on tumblr. He works in the health sector and when he isn’t literally in the line of fire between iof snipers and injured Palestinians, he is online verifying campaigns for us. Please. His family needs our help. zionists have a history of mass reporting him, this is currently his fourth account. He needs urgent help, his campaign has been stagnating for weeks now

Hey. Hey you.

I know it's hard to speak up about Palestine.

You may be scared, afraid to get backlash.

You may be a minor and have parents that are overprotective of you or worse, are neutral about the whole thing or is supportive of one side.

But you don't need to speak up about Palestine on your own post. You can always reblog a post with the click of a button. Reblog posts just like this one.

I know it's hard to do much and I know you're sometimes feeling like you aren't doing enough. But you can take it with little steps at a time.

Don't stop talking about Palestine. Your voices need to be heard.

[thottacelli]

Another aspect of the Gaza Genocide that I want to talk about is the complicity of Internet banking and crowdfunding websites like GoFundMe.

I have seen multiple Gazans raise enough money to leave for Egypt, but the banks and the crowdfunding websites freeze their money or cancel their funds for "suspicious activity" or whatever. Every day that passes in Gaza supplies get more scarce, conditions get more deadly, and the price to cross into Egypt gets more expensive. I've seen people, like ghost-90 here on Tumblr, raise the full amount to get their entire family out of Gaza, but their money gets frozen for so long that the original goal is only a fraction of the price now needed to cross the boarder.

These financial institutions should not be allowed to get away with contributing to the death toll in Gaza. They are intentionally keeping people trapped in a kill zone by withholding money that is rightfully theirs.

I'm so pissed and angry that every avenue for relief for Palestinians is being cut of left and right. It is vile that Gazans are being extorted for 10s of thousands of dollars by the Egyptian gov just to save their family's lives, but even when they play by this corrupt game, the world still finds a way to make them suffer.

My heart is with every Palestinian for the rest of time, from river to sea you will all be free. 🇵🇸❤️

Maternity kits, medical threads and scissors, water testing kits, anesthetics, mobile desalination units, etc do you see the pattern? Israel is not only starving the people of Gaza but it also wants to ensure the spread of disease through contaminated water and surgical tools, as well as ensuring injured Palestinians suffer through horrendous pain.

It's beyond sickening.

U.S. Quietly Expands Secret Military Base in Israel

Government documents pointing to the expansion of a classified U.S. base offer rare hints about a little noted U.S. military presence in Isr

TWO MONTHS BEFORE Hamas attacked Israel, the Pentagon awarded a multimillion-dollar contract to build U.S. troop facilities for a secret base it maintains deep within Israel’s Negev desert, just 20 miles from Gaza. Code-named “Site 512,” the longstanding U.S. base is a radar facility that monitors the skies for missile attacks on Israel. On October 7, however, when thousands of Hamas rockets were launched, Site 512 saw nothing — because it is focused on Iran, more than 700 miles away. The U.S. Army is quietly moving ahead with construction at Site 512, a classified base perched atop Mt. Har Qeren in the Negev, to include what government records describe as a “life support facility”: military speak for barracks-like structures for personnel. Though President Joe Biden and the White House insist that there are no plans to send U.S. troops to Israel amid its war on Hamas, a secret U.S. military presence in Israel already exists. And the government contracts and budget documents show it is evidently growing. The $35.8 million U.S. troop facility, not publicly announced or previously reported, was obliquely referenced in an August 2 contract announcement by the Pentagon. Though the Defense Department has taken pains to obscure the site’s true nature — describing it in other records merely as a “classified worldwide” project — budget documents reviewed by The Intercept reveal that it is part of Site 512. (The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)

This isn't even the first time this has happened, for anyone doubting it's real. The USA also did this in Vietnam.
