Hi everyone!
I’m completely new to sewing and have managed to get basic stitches down. I hand sew and am working with thread, cotton fat quarters, and buttons. I can sew a button down solid but how do you actually make a button hole? I know it involves cutting a slit but what after that? I’m really lost and have a few ideas on what to try make but can’t because im stuck on the button slits! I’ll take anyones tips and tricks or videos/blogs that helped them learn!! Thank you so much 💕

So i’m actively looking for a new job, im semi successful right now, had 1 interview find out monday the results, 2 have just looked at my cv on indeed and im hopeful since i fit the roles perfectly. I’m trying to prepare my notice ready just incase i get that congrats email monday mid shift cause i genuinely dont care I’ll send in my notice mid shift if i have to.

If its not obvious its pretty toxic here!! I’m so done with this place and I know the way i’ll say this without consulting anyone will just be blunt and rude.

there’s a bunch of reasons for leaving
- The shop i work in is toxic, the girls are horrible, they’re rude, nasty, get in my face when “i don’t respond” (i do, im just quiet which is known and they’re half deaf), they’re lazy especially when there’s a rush i’m left alone while they chat, rude to customers there’s loads.
- During the June heatwave a few weeks ago we had a red warning over 2 days, i worked both and then 2 days after that. Got sent home the 2 days after and threw up on the 2nd day. We work with food. Regardless of why I was sick I wasn’t allowed to come in and I had everyone blowing up my phone trying to tell me I had to go in for my 5th and final shift. I didn’t go and they had to find cover. We had no fans or anything, one of the other girls who’s a year younger was literally seeing spots and having a panic attack because she was so hot and they were calling her overdramatic.
- They’re careless: so we work with food, had a customer say after preparing it that they’re coeliac, one of them then went and PUT THE FOOD BACK IN WITH EVERYTHING ELSE TO SERVE. I didn’t have the balls to say anything mid shift because it had been rough already but it definitely had me worried since my own sister is coeliac and if she wanted that and I hadn’t known what had happened she’d have been ill if she had that ice cream.
- The boss/owner is just neglectful and rude, as i said i worked there last summer but in their ice cream van and never met her once after her saying repeatedly “i’ll be down today x” and she met me for the first time in coffee training didn’t get my name right once, worked a shift with her that weekend and after telling her like 500 times “my name is __ not ___, you can literally call me (shortened down name) but its not ___ or ___” i didnt hear my name once 🧍. Post shift she said “great work but could’ve been faster” bare in mind its like my 2nd or 3rd shift in the shop, im still getting my bearings and it had been rushes every shift that week so i had no proper chance to get used to things or learn things!! Also the lack of care during the heatwaves.
- the girls in the shop also keep taking the tips and putting them in the till without replacing them which is apparently pretty illegal in the UK? (i heard from someone there’s a new law protecting tips apparently?)
- Had to beg for time off after the rotas were made even though i’d said when asked for my availability i couldnt work x, y, and z.

i did try to leave but they didn’t send me my p45 when i quit back in october last year (they promised me shifts after the summer but never gave me any, also never quit a job before so i didn’t know what to expect)

I know this is VERY long winded and i’m sorry!! I just need advice on how to go about this. I’m not afraid to burn bridges or anything because they’ve all been horrid to me, my notice will either be a week or immediately it depends on the start date in whatever new job i get (live laugh love 0hr contract laws - its meant to be a months notice, go do one like). I have another job already that adores me and should i need a reference i have them to go to. Its common there for it to be a side job rather than main since its so seasonal (sports club).

thank you 🥹💕

bit of a rant bit of a question i just really needed to get my loneliness off my chest since i feel awful actually going to anyone and being upset about it. I don’t like making people worry at all

I’m at uni rn, all the friends that are actually good for me and treat me like im someone rather than something are here but it’s coming up to summer and they’re all moving home. I’m putting off going home because I feel better being lonely here rather than at home. I find it so much easier talking online but I can’t find anyone to talk to. My friends at home only see me as a bank account with a car but they’re my only 2 friends, i cant hang out just with them, their boyfriends have to come. They aren’t academic in any way, shape or form (not a bad thing at all in general) but they think I can just drop everything to go do x, y and z. They don’t understand even though i’ve said so many times “its alot more intense here, i HAVE to revise alot more”. I can’t sit on the phone with them while i revise because they’re with their boyfriends or they’re high and i don’t have the patience (which i don’t do btw, no shade its just not for me).

I’d love to just hang with people online who get that life is life, i was like this during covid and it honestly got me through it for the most part. I’m actively bored of playing my games alone since i used to play them with my friends who i sorta just drifted from (not gonna delv into this cause its not important rly). Its hard to play with them sometimes since they’re on PC and im on PS to. so basically does anyone just like wanna hang out and play minecraft, genshin or just rly anything? We can make like a discord group to hang in?

bit of a rant cause im absolutely livid right now. I have awful periods and I had a bad experience with the last birth control pill i was on (Cerelle) so don’t particularly want to go back on any! Went back to the gp today cause i had a REALLY abnormal period and was told i need to do ANOTHER sexual health screening “just incase they missed something since they can do that” after i had one back early feb because of the birth control incident after bleeding for the entirety of jan. Have to do a pregnancy test and consider the combined pill because “condoms arent the safest, I have a friend whose had 2 abortions in 6 months because the condom came off etc” i feel like i would know if there was a chance i was pregnant! i just want to know why its so hard to get anything done without all of this :(

anyway i just needed a place to rant and maybe someone tell me im crazy for feeling annoyed that im having to go through this whole thing again not even 6months later. I feel so ignored cause i told her “i dont want to go back on the pill if possible” because while it helps with the periods, the emotional side of things is always awful. Im become such a cow (as my mam used say) on the pill and just remembering to take it is hard enough when im barely looking after myself because of how bad these cramps, the nausea, the sweats, the tiredness, and the bleeding all really are. Painkillers dont even work, bananas do a better job than paracetamol for crying out loud🧍

thank you for reading guys and sorry if its coming off as insensitive or childish im only 18 and honestly just so done with the system lol
