I hope you found a solution that works for you! I can recommend hemming skirts with bias, I find it a lot easier and faster (maybe it feels faster because I am not struggling, which I would not mind)

When do I get the superpower of confident and correct sewing?

You are probably going to fail some dishes at the beginning, it's okay. To know how hot it is, look at the flame underneath the pot, not all dials are reliable. It's my favourite way to cook meat, as it actually turns the heat down when you reduce the flame, unlike resistance electric that takes ages or induction that works as long as you haven't been cooking too long. Get yourself an electric kettle or you will need ages to get warm water for your pasta.
Get yourself some gas detector and get in the habit of opening the windows to ventilate. Take the normal recomanded precaution around open flames, turn the gas off at the arrival when you leave the house for longer than 36 hours.\

Do you mind sharing the drafting method you used?

nice PJs are a perfect beginner project ! and PJs with pockets sounds much more luxiurious than it has any right to be.

A few classes to get you started are a good idea, if none of the other recommendation works you can also ask your local fabric store. (better if it is a local or small business, big chain stores might not know about that sort of things) If the budget is really tight handsewing is always an option but it takes a lot more time. You could also attempt a bit of embroidery as a start, it's not quite like sewing but still involves a needle and you can get a cute result faster.

I like the very poor and lazy student greatness of peanut butter pasta. It takes barely longer than cooking the pasta themselves, the ingredients are almost all shelf stable and staples in my pantry... it's great for lazy cooking honestly. Okay, the recipe:

• cook pasta (however you like, I'm no pasta police)
• in a bowl, mix peanut butter with some soy sauce and vinegar (whichever brand/style/color you have at hand, we are being lazy here okay) the result can become a weird dense and sticky paste with a really deep soy sauce color and taste too strong to be good, do not panic, it's not finished yet.
• when the pasta is done, keep some of the pasta water and add it to the sauce, the sauce should now start to look good and taste much better.
• laziest option is to throw the pasta on top of the sauce and use only one bowl. If the sauce is too liquidy, you can reheat the hole thing a bit.

No need to add salt, it's already in the pasta water and soy sauce. Add whatever spicy thing you like, that works well. I wouldn't recommend adding cheese to it, I was never really successfull with it.

There still is @craftingfails for total disasters.... On a more serious note, if you like interfaing more then it's the better decision!

Usually two, that way I can procrastinate one project by working on the other. I like to sew and embroider my clothes also, but sometimes I cannot wait for the embroidery to wear it. The embroidery get's done when the clothing is out of season.

Then definitely add some interfacing around the closures! Otherwise the pulling can become quite obvious and not great.

It will mostly depend on the thickness and drape of the fabric, but for a really crisp result you will likely need some interfacing on the collar and button placket (maybe some others). What kind of fabric do you have?

It looks a bit dangerous to me, I feel like it is easier to cut oneself with it. Maybe it's just because I am used to scissors though... what's your opinion on safety with it?
