Description
VERY BIG FILE!This is for my set of Sailor Moon inspired tutorials, the Sailor Collar.
Link to the sailor collar pattern [link]
Since I made the normal Sailor Neptune, I did not put a ribbon on it. I hope my explanation is detailed enough to help you attach a ribbon.
As I've said in the tutorial, if you need any more help, please ask me and I will do my absolute best to help you.

I can't use too big a monitor to photomanipulate. It actually makes it harder, in my opinion. Laptop is fine. Standard HD monitor is fine. Widescreen or large monitor (but especially widescreen) distorts things and makes my eyes go out of focus.

I haven't noticed any distortion with my laptop and it's a widescreen.

Certain widescreens are...wider than others. Set to certain resolution settings, round brushes will look oval.

Ah ok. I get you. Mine seems to be fine with the settings.

I learned from the latpop before this one. The default setting was for a super widescreen, and it made my circles look like ovals until I switched it. Different screen resolutions are best for different things. If you go ultra widescreen for games or movies, it can screw up your art if you don't revert afterward, especially if you're doing something like drawing with a tablet where you wouldn't necessarily have that guide.
I had an old monitor (a TV-style monitor from 2001) for ages after everyone switched to laptops and HD's. It messed my colors up. Sepia on an HD or laptop looks yellow or green on that, two different greens in the original photoshop palate look the same on it, and everything ends up being super saturated when you print it out because of the horrificly dark screen...even if you put it to the brightest settings possible.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww yea, saturation is a terrible thing for art. My husband's mom has an older monitor and when I showed her my art, the colors were so dark.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah...I know the feeling. I'm all for vivid, but there is such a thing as too much.
If you're on an older monitor and you're erasing, you'll usually either over-erase or under-erase because you can't see it so well. It's just dodgy.

Yea, that's why I like the laptop we have, when it decides to turn on that is.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah...laptops are a pain in the ass. If I didn't have to travel back and forth 500 miles, I'd get a desktop computer. It's just a bit of a pain because I'm a mod on a writing site's forum, and I also write. My boyfriend has three computers. A desktop, a laptop, and an archive. Only the desktop (which shares the screen with his xbox and holds his computer games, which he's always on in the evenings, whether I'm there or not) has the browser I use, and none of them have the word processor I use or anything compatible with it. His are an Acer, an Asus, and a Toshiba. Mine is a Compaq. Ever since my uncle upgraded to Windows 98 and gave my father his Windows 95, I've only used Compaqs.
My last laptop, though, was a problem. They kept telling me there was nothing wrong with it and that I was working it too hard or needed to put it on a hard surface when it overheated and crashed. (It was always on at least a lapdesk.) Eventually, the overheating destroyed the lower left corner of the keyboard (including the FN key, ctrl key, and alt key, meaning that there was no ctrl+alt+del) and the fan itself. It just stopped working completely. No problem my ass. Thankfully, it was still under warranty, but they keyboard they replaced it with had a problem with the struts breaking in two and sticking on half of the keys. They also insisted on wiping my memory for a problem that was purely mechanical and could have easily been fixed without doing so. (I probably could have done the fan myself if I had the right kind of screwdriver to get the screw in the disc drive open. The keyboard, probably not, though.)

Yea, desk tops are usually better if only because if something goes wrong with the hardware it can be fixed. It's the graphics card in out laptop that's fried and doesn't always work and since it's part of the motherboard, we can't just get a new one. Thankfully, it's the only thing wrong and the laptop does still turn on, it just takes a few tries.
Plus, my husband knows a thing or two about computers, and anything that's fixable, he can usually fix.

For me, it has to do with how I sit. I've had a less-than-wonderful back since I was ten-years-old. For me to sit at a desktop, provided I have a good chair, I can sit up. I can't use a laptop at a desk because it hurts my back so badly. When I do move in with my boyfriend, he has a spare monitor that I'll be able to use. Not as big as his giant TV (thankfully) but just a regular monitor that we'll be able to hook up to my laptop. I'll be able to use it as a regular desktop computer and then unhook it when we have to visit our families up here. But until I move in with him, I have to use my laptop laying down, more or less, otherwise, I end up with a rather extreme backache.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww, I'm sorry to hear about your back. My sister has a bad back too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Most of the time, it doesn't bother me. I just can't crouch over a laptop on a low desk (among a few other specific things I can't do just so) for hours or I'll be feeling it for three days.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I usually slouch in my chair, which I know is bad, but it's so I don't have to lean. I unconsciously leans forward and tilt my head to the left when doing my art though and it's really strains me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can't slouch. Not even a little. I couldn't do it when I was a schoolchild, and I can't do it now. I just never really slouched, I guess. It's always bothered me to slouch. It drove my classmates insane whenever we had a substitute teacher for the day because they'd think I was being attentive when, in reality, I couldn't slouch without pain. They also thought I was taking notes while I wrote novel chapters in class, so I guess I was just good at hiding what I was doing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I almost always slouch, unless I'm near someone I'm not comfortable around, like new friends. And that is pretty good at hiding what your doing.

I was that kid who had good grades without paying attention, so I was bored on the review days. My teachers would teach something on Monday, perhaps going into Tuesday with the lesson, and would review it until Friday when I got it the first time they said it. So when I was a kid, I found ways to discreetly keep busy while everybody else was asking questions to which I already knew the answers.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
At least you kept busy. I hated school or at least my classmates.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I hated my classmates plenty too. I didn't really have any close friends in my own year. I pretty much kept to books. For me, the classes were never fast-paced enough, and the other students were annoying at best.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I had a few friends, but they didn't last. I love being an adult cause no one cares how you act, plus I have lots more friends than I ever had.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was always the kid who didn't care what the other kids thought about her, so as an adult, I'm much the same way. If other people think I'm strange, I really don't give a damn. But I still am and always will be the one who's quiet and hides behind books until she actually knows someone. It's just who I am.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I cared what people thought, but after a while I gave up. Now if I wanna act like a complete idiot in public (like wearing a costume), I will and I won't care.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Define costume. I haven't worn sneakers for anything but gym class since I was ten, not at all since I was thirteen. I've hated wearing jeans since I was a little kid. I haven't been big on tee shirts since I was twelve or so. "Normal" clothes don't really exist in my closet. I actually wear the long, frilly skirts I sew on a daily basis, and I own both crinolines and summeresses that require them. It could be argued that everything in my closet except the two special occasion dresses is a costume.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Costume for me if just if I'm dressing up as a character. Normally I wear jeans, t-shirts and sneakers or sometimes boots.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't do the whole character thing. I just have a very strange wardrobe. Very strange. Oddly enough, on Halloween, my costumes seem to be made of the most normal pieces from my closet. One year, I wore my only pair of jeans and a Tommy Hillfiger sweater that was a present from my aunt. Last year, I was working at a place that let us dress up, so I dressed up as a Vulcan (my boyfriend suggested it) in a pair of black yoga pants, a black turtleneck, and a blue long-sleeved v-neck shirt. The only costume pieces were the ears and a pin. And yet, on an average day, I'll wear a floor-length skirt, a vest, a tuxedo shirt, a cravat, and tails or a retro 1950s dress with a matching crinoline, a black sweater, high heels, and a fake pearl choker. I guess I just have a skewed sense of normal. Though I am liking this nautical trend that's out this year. My mother dressed me in sailor dresses until I was ten and we couldn't find any that fit, since I grew to like them, and my boyfriend is in the Navy.

Everyone has their own sense of fashion that people will never understand.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I just find old-fashioned things to be comfortable. Floor-length skirts don't fall down. Jeans do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They were clearly designed by an idiot who thought that having them fall down was practical for the wearer...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is true XD
That's why I wear belts :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For whatever stupid reason, I find that those aren't designed right either. It's hard to find a belt that actually fits in the belt loops of women's jeans, and half the time they don't hold them up either. I think I'm just the wrong shape for current styles. I would have done better in the 1950s when they actually made things for hourglass figures.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yea, now it's all straight hips and waist.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They make clothes for people with no butt or for overweight individuals. I'm tiny tiny, but I have wide hips and a big chest for someone my size. My waist is smaller than the smallest size I can find in most stores by a lot, and my hips are in that very smallest range, despite my hourglass figure. So nothing ever fits me unless I can find a retro dress or alter it. I love my body type...I just wish I could find one shirt that actually fit it properly without either alteration or something over it like a belt or vest to bring in the waist. The other thing that drives me crazy is the long shirt thing...when you're as short as I am, long shirts just make you look shorter. Honestly, the only shirt that I own that's the right length for me is a Jameson Whiskey shirt that I found in a thrift shop about two years ago. It's the smallest they make (I checked online to see if I could find one size smaller.) It fits in the chest, but it's too big below that, but it's the right length. Miracle of miracles.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I kinda like the long shirts only cause I don't like my hips being cold if my pants are too low for me. Why can't they make pants that fit right at the top of your hips? It's always either up at the natural waist line or way past your hips. And both are uncomfortable for me. I'm pretty much average in size so most things fit me, but when I was a teen and younger, pants and long sleeve were always too short for me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For me, if it's "low-rise" it's actually at the hip for me. Mid-rise comes to my natural waist, and high-rise, which should come to the waist, comes up to the underwire of my bra. What I don't understand is the fact that all petite clothes seem to be meant for elderly ladies. I'm an adult, but I'm not that old and won't be for a long time. But I can't find clothes for someone my height who isn't in her 80s. Short people come in all age groups.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww I guess the clothes companies expect women to be 5 foot 8 and up, which I'm not either.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm 4'10". I don't even register on that scale.
In my last year of school, I was in something called "Model UN." For the conference, we had to have either suits or dress pants/pencil skirts and a shirt. I'm just not the right shape for a pencil skirt because they're for boyshape bodies, not those of us with an hourglass figure. Plus, the conference was in January on a Friday night and a Saturday, and it's pretty cold here in January. Plus, it was on a campus that involved bridges and lots of walking which had to be done in heels regardless, so if pantyhose aren't involved, all the better. I had one pair of dress pants, and we were looking around for another, since the store I had gotten them from (on a deep clearance) was rather expensive otherwise. I was in a shop that sells women's professional attire, and there was a chart. 5'0"-5'4" petite. 5'4" to 5'8" average. 5'8" to 6'0" long. I don't even register on that scale...and sure enough, even the petites were too long in the waist. I can fix too long in the legs...hemming isn't hard. I can't fix too big in the waist and comes up four inches higher than it ought. Not with the sewing skills I had at the time, and certainly not in a matter of days bringing it for alterations.
And this is why I want to become a seamstress. This and the fact that the military needs a lot of alterations and my boyfriend is probably going to end up career Navy. Might as well pick a profession needed where I'm going to end up.

That's a really good reason to be a seamstress.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, clothes that fit are wonderful. It's not a common profession, and because there are so many clothing stores, it's rather fallen out of favor among civilians except for wedding gowns, bridesmaid gowns, prom dresses, and occasionally business suits.
But around a large military base, such as the ones that house the particular planes that my boyfriend works on, there's a near constant need to alter uniforms. One of my boyfriend's pairs of service uniform pant came without a hem. I happened to be down there at the time when he had to get them and have them inspected, so I did them. But there are also patches that have to be sewn on, dress uniforms that need alteration, and any number of repairs that might need to be done. I've seen probably ten to fifteen seamstress and tailor shops in a small area near the side of base he lives and works on. Compare that to one in the large town that I live in.

I think there may be one alteration place in my town, possibly two.

It's a dying art, preserved only for weddings...except around military bases.
