Supply Q: Plastic swimwear clips/bar closures...in colors

For convertible bra straps, I noticed a couple of my production bras have plastic swimsuit clips in lieu of metal g-hooks. I would love to use these in the bras I'm making but would like to match the colorway. I'm having such a hard time finding these! They seem to only come in clear, black, and white.

I have found only one or two listings on eBay and there is no size variety. I feel like I've run out of search terms.

Does anyone know from where to source these?

Emerald Erin Black Beauty: instructions or technique issue

This is my first underwire make - Emerald Erin Black Beauty, 32DD (I opted for tulle with foam option). I'm not new to sewing but have pretty poor visual spatial reasoning so I'm a bit confused on how this is supposed to work. When adding channeling, instructions say to stop 1" down (pic). It then goes on to say to fold down the channeling and proceed to FOE for neckline. I did this, however, when looking at the right side, the gore has this weird fold along the inner cup ( because the channel stitching only goes partially to the top. Did I do something incorrectly or am I missing something not explicitly stated? Will this shore up? I don't want to proceed if I'm going to have to pick the whole thing apart.

Supplies: Gutermann thread

Hello all -

I finally found a thread that doesn't make my machine eat my projects. Gutermann works best but C&C seems to work as well but with lower success rates.

I usually do very small creations (mostly undergarments for now) and use small quantities of thread but need a variety of colors. I don't require wawak amounts of thread.

I have looked for "multipacks" of Gutermann thread color (I bought the basics multi) but am coming up short for richer colors like neon yellow, bright greens and purples, etc. Am I limited to buying spool by spool? It's a bit of a pain since I have to order it online, as there aren't many sewing/Quilting shops in the area.

Does anyone have recommendations?

Boss requested I adjust the date of my dad's funeral because other teammates took leave at the same time

DM from my boss after I told the team (4 of us) in the team meeting I will need time off soon. She is aware my dad died 1.5 weeks ago because I put in BEREAVEMENT leave for 2 days immediately after his death. One teammate will be on leave and one took vacation.

Last year, I gave them 8 months notice (for kids bday present - attending an event) and it was not a problem at all when I checked with the team after.

ETA: I gave verbal dates in the meeting (to which she did not respond immediately), he's cremated so time is not an issue, we're devastated, still waiting on an autopsy report, pooling money to coordinate everything time sensitive, international travel is required so trying to be considerate to other family that wants to say goodbye, etc. Final goodbyes can be done with cremains. You guys are so weird... It's about how the boss is ass lol.

ETA 2: I have 2 weeks of vacation that must be used by 7/1 regardless. The funeral is not 2 weeks long (and I didn't even suggest it) but we do have to figure out legal and court matters + clean out a house.
