Make Some Pocket Extenders for Your Pants

So I don’t know about you, but I’m often frustrated by the ridiculous smallness of girls’ pockets. At a bare minimum, I need to be able to shove my cellphone in there - come on, pants companies! So what I started doing was making myself pocket extenders. I’ve done this several times, for pants and shorts. It’s great.

I just got this pair of jeans, so I thought I’d show you how to do it. I kind of feel like it just hasn’t occurred to some of you that this is an option, so maybe now it will. All you need is your pants, some fabric (I just took a random piece from a scrap bin), a needle, and some thread (thread doesn’t even need to match the fabric since literally no one will see it).

See? Ridiculous. Like, half a cellphone, or only 2.5″. Useless.

 So turn those inside out to expose the pockets.

Figure out how big you want your pockets to actually be. I kinda go by whatever looks like might be right. I didn’t really measure them. Fold the fabric in half, so you have a pocket, and then fold it in half again so you can have two equal ones.

Try to get the edges to line up enough, pin it in place, then sew up the sides! Are your stitches crazy uneven and wonky looking? Doesn’t matter; nobody’s going to see it. These are in the inside of your pants. The only thing that matters is that it holds up. So I double-did the corners, since those tend to get the most stress.

Cut open the bottom of the existing pockets.

Pin it in place, then sew around, joining the new pocket to the old pocket. I did this by keeping my hand on the inside, so I wouldn’t accidentally sew through the other side. Again, I reinforced the corners, and didn’t worry about what it actually looks like. Then I turned it in side out to make sure the inside was all joined properly.

Yay all done! And the pockets are so much bigger now!

Whaaaat I can fit my entire phone and entire hand and probably something else now, are girls’ pockets even allowed to do that?! Heck yeah they are.

i love taking the idea of “the serum gave steve better muscles and better senses” and just pushing it just that little bit into uncanny valley territory. he can see very slightly into the ultravioliet and infared spectra, moves/thinks quicker than normal people (hes conciously slowing himself down a LOT bc he knows it freaks people out) and is just. really strong. all of him is very strong. he can open a can of beans with a fingernail. 

I have never laughed as much while watching a drama as that one moment in Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung episode 13 when one of the translators asks the Western man “waarom ben je naar Korea gekomen?” (why did you come to Joseon?) in the BEST and funniest accent I’ve ever heard.

Then, the answer “I don’t speak Dutch” made it 10 times funnier. I would never have even imagined to hear people talk about the Netherlands in a kdrama, but a historical drama?? Set in the Joseon era?? I was completely blindsided. I must’ve replayed that scene at least 5 times.

I don’t know if people know it on here BUT I’m actually from the Netherlands and Dutch is my first language!! It’s such a small country so whenever someone even mentions it I’m amazed. So the MOMENT he said that sentence I completely lost it. Well played, Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung.

Could you imagine what a chaotic duo Anakin and Qui gon would of been?

Qui gon would encouraged aaaallllll of Anakins reckless qualities.

He'd be like 'Master should I do the thing?' And Qui gon would be like 'What is the force telling you?' 'It' s telling me to do the thing.'' Then do the thing'

Anakin then proceeds to jump out of a 20 story building into oncoming traffic.

'Feel, dont think padawan.' Anakin then proceeds to never think again.

They actively encourage each other to disobeyed the council.

Mace Windu is DONE with these two.

"Qui gon where is your padawan?" "He's on Rancoor 5." "But the council specifically told you both..." "The living force must be listend to." "Dont give me that crap."

And it gets twelve time worse when the Clone wars hit.

Disobeying orders left right and center, never sticking to one plan, Qui gon refuses to wear armour, and when they do stick to a plan its reckless as hell.

And Obi wan is dragged along for every thing as they council teams them up in hope that he will control them.

He cant, he usally just goes with it.

And then cries into Codys shoulder about the level of stress they both put him through.

"They made me fight a pit dragon Cody. A pit dragon!" "I know sir." "They had no plan and they both nearly got eaten." "I know sir." "I cant deal with them together!" "I know sir, have some tea."

Even though Cody knows Obi wan is JUST as reckless as they are.

Worth the Tears by CaffeinatedFlumadiddle

In the last four days, a lot of you might have seen the video of Mr. Philip Banks catching a baby boy that was thrown out of a burning building - the baby was saved by both him and the mother who sacrificed herself to help save her kids. In the video, you can hear neighbors pleading with her to jump down herself, but she didn't. She was completely engulfed in flames by the time she went back in to try and save her daughter. There are two heroes in this story, and both of them are angels, one in Heaven now, and the other here on Earth.

Both of the children made it, but sadly it was too late for Mrs. Rachel Long. She leaves behind a little girl that will need more surgeries to start her recovery, a baby boy that is getting better but is extremely traumatized, and a husband who is now heartbroken and left homeless with their two children.

I implore you, if you cannot donate yourselves, I completely understand, but please at least share the donation link, that helps too!

Mr. Phillip Banks is a true hero. The way he sprinted to catch the little boy, throwing himself with everything he got to save him - without a doubt, the boy would have been severely more injured or gone if it wasn't for him.
