>Try to fit pattern back into tiny packet- hahaha good luck

Seriously the worst.

I just interviewed for a part time job at a local fabric store
>30% off everything in store
>Monthly sewing meets after the store closes where all the employees hang out and use the sewing machines (including the serger) and work on their sewing
>Every month you can (voluntarily) sew something to be displayed in the store. You are given $50 worth of fabric from the store (the only stipulation is it has to be something the store has a lot of) and you get to keep the item once it's been displayed for a month
>All sewing classes offered by the store are free for you to take

I hope I get this. The manager said she had a few more interviews this week but she'd contact me in a week and that she'd see me soon.
Fingers crossed.

There's this really good crafter I follow on Tumblr, and the stuff she makes uses some really interesting techniques I've never seen before.
Almost every week she's posting asks from people
>"Hey, how did you do -blank- I want to make one for myself!"
>"What do you use to do -blank- I'm a crafter and I want to sell these!"

It just baffles me. She's super nice about it and links them to her Etsy, but somehow people don't seem to realize that she's trying to make a living doing this.
Totally baffling.

That's really pretty, anon.
