So, I just had sleeves altered on a sport coat. I think I am going to request a re-do. The finish was not mitered and the 1st and 4th button were sewn through and knotted up inside, visible on the lining. Do you think my request is fair and reasonable?
@onthetrailcreations863819 күн бұрын
I think that would depend on whether it was mitered in the first place. When I did it at a tailor shop we just replaced what was there. As for the buttons, it negates the extra flap on the lining if they are stitched through, but that is only a problem if it’s pulling weird 😅
@cypresspeter200818 күн бұрын
Thanks for your prompt reply. I cannot recall if the original style was mitered but it seems that is the current trend with the brand and industry. The sewn knots feel pointy and now the lining are not able to move freely, drapes free flowing. I don't think I like this style of craftmanship or lack of. I think I will take it back today and ask for my request for a re-do.

It's me again! It's a good thing these are addictive because I have been getting requests from everywhere! I attach a cross, angel or heart and they are now at hospice centers, hospitals, a funeral, VA centers, etc. My latest is a Backpack Blessing prayer pocket with an angel or heart and a blessing for the school year. Parents can add a message as often as they wish. I have passed on your pattern to many. Just wanted you to know that your little pockets are loved by many! Thank you again.

You aren’t supposed to have to, but people have mixed results depending on the type of fabric, and whether or not it has sizing on it still, or whether or not every speck of Inktense got activated. so it’s best to test a sample if possible. 😅

Best Pocket Prayer design ever. Been making these for some years now, but always used special papers and faux leathers. Always wanted to make some from fabric. The back pocket idea is the best answer for this item made with fabrics. I did a test run and love the way it turns out. I'm off and running now. Thanks for sharing.

You could use washi tape or painter’s tape on your palettes (just an inch or so) to “add your friction” when using the pencil on palettes! The frugal crafter shared that and I’ve never gone back. Now, I primarily use mine on paper but, I’d assume that would also save you some scrubbing on the palette itself as well 😊
