Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find a sewing pattern for a sleeved shirt and a fabric to use. Reduce the width of your pattern at the shoulder by making new marks on it. Cut your pattern along the new lines. Trace your pattern onto the fabric. Trim two extra strips of fabric on the bias in order to finish the armholes. Follow the directions of the pattern to sew most of the shirt together, including the neckline. Fold and press your binding to begin the process of finishing the armholes. Pin the binding around the armholes. Make a small mark on the binding where it meets the side seam. Pull the bias tape, or the binding, away from the shirt. Sew all the way around the armhole. Press the binding away from the shirt at the new seam you just made. Use a sewing machine to stitch the armhole closed around the folded edge.

Answer: If you like to make your own clothes, this is a method in which you can turn a sleeved pattern into a sleeveless one. Almost any pattern of sleeved shirt will work for this. Be sure that you are buying a pattern for the style of shirt you want (e.g. men's, women's, baby's, child's, et cetera). Buy enough fabric to make the entire shirt so that you can avoid sewing scraps together. Remember that a sleeved shirt extends the width of the shoulder all the way to the tip, but sleeveless shirts usually do not. Use a pencil to make your new markings. How much you shorten the width is up to you, but keep in mind that you will lose an additional 3/8 inch when you finish the seam on the sleeveless arm hole. Try to make about the same new angle and curve on both sleeves so that they look the same. You may want to curve the front of the shirt a bit more than the back, simply for aesthetics. Before you start cutting your chosen fabric, you need to cut out your new pattern. Carefully cut along your new lines, keeping your new curves as much as possible. Prepare your pattern to trace onto the fabric. There are a variety of tools you can use to do this, but it is most important to use a tool that will wash out or leave no mark, if possible. If it is a tool that claims to be washable, do a trial run first by marking an old shirt or scrap piece of fabric and washing it. Washable pens Tracing wheel and dressmaker's carbon Hera marker Chalk pencil Tailor's chalk Tailor's tacks This is a type of finish on the armholes that will give them a polished look. Measure your armholes and then add 3-4 inches to account for sewing. The fabric strips should be about an inch wide. These strips are also known as "binding." Stop once you have reached the point of sewing the shoulder and side seams together. Lay your strips flat with the patterned side down. Fold one edge of the binding inch over the non-patterned side, and then press it flat. Repeat with the second strip of binding. Start at the side seam. Leave at least an inch of excess fabric hanging before inserting the first pin at the side seam. Put the unfolded edge of the binding along the edge of the armhole, so that the folded edge is closer to the breast of the shirt. The right sides of the shirt and the binding should be together, meaning that the patterned side of the binding should be against the patterned side of the shirt, which should be right side out. Continue to pin the binding all the way around the armhole. Use a washable pen or other fabric-friendly tool to do this. Repeat this on the binding of the other armhole. This is where you will sew the two ends together so that they will meet along the side seam. You may need to remove a couple of pins in order to do this. Sew the bias tape, with the patterned sides touching, at the marks you made on the fabric. Trim any excess fabric off after sewing (remember that you left at least an inch before pinning). Press open the small bit of fabric left after sewing and trimming and pin it to the armhole at the side seam. Leave 3/8 inch distance between the seam you are making and the edge. A sewing machine is recommended for this process, as it will be faster and straighter. You should now have a small "sleeve" sticking out from the armhole and are ready to finish off the armhole. Flip the shirt inside out after doing this. Fold the binding again along the inch edge that you made previously, and then fold it again along the seam. Pin all the way around the armhole, with the binding folded in twice around it. This is the last step in polishing the arm hole on a sleeveless shirt made from scratch. Repeat the process on the other armhole. Press the new seam around the armhole one more time to give it a crisp edge, and you are done.

Carry your cash and credit cards on your person or with a travel mate at all times. Divide up your different cards and monies between two wallets or pockets to minimize the risk that you lose or someone steals them. Take along your devices that are lightweight to minimize how much your luggage weighs. Include only those electronics you need or want, such as a smartphone or shaver. Leaving bulky, heavy, and expensive items like your laptop at home can ensure you capture and enjoy every moment of your week in Hawaii without weighing you down. Some lighter electronics to pack in your carry-on include: Smartphone, with camera Tablet or e-Reader Toothbrush GPS device or smart watch Find a small pouch where you can store charging devices for your electronics. Assemble one charger for each device and roll each carefully so they don't knot up. Consider a single unit charger so you can connect cords to one outlet. Place your chargers and wires in the pouch and carry it in your hand luggage. Avoid carrying electronics that need batteries to save space and money. Consider getting a separate device charger so you can charge your electronics on the go.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Focus on your existing relationships and on making new friends. Pursue the interests you set aside during your relationship. Start a new passion project to help you feel fulfilled. Try new things that your ex refused to do with you. Identify the future you want for yourself.

Answer:
Healthy relationships with your friends and family can help you be a stronger, more independent person. Plus, they will help you realize that you don't need your ex! Spend time with the people who are important to you so you can grow closer to them. Additionally, go to local events, clubs, Meetups, or classes to meet new people. Keep in touch with your friends by talking or texting daily. Join your friends for coffee dates, dinner, and games. While you were with your ex, it's likely that you gave up part of yourself to become a partner to them. Now that you're apart, regaining what you lost can help you enjoy being single! Think about the things you enjoyed before you got with your ex. Then, start including those things in you routine. For instance, you might have given up your gym membership because you never had time to go. Now is the time to renew it! As another example, you might have stopped painting or doing photography because you were spending more time with your ex. Break out your equipment and dive back into that hobby! Pick a goal you've always wanted to accomplish or something that's always interested you. Then, make a list of steps you can take to start working on it. Dedicate a block of time each day to work on your goal, and try to check off the steps on your list. This can help you stop thinking about your ex and build your independence. For example, you might decide to pursue a degree or to start a photography business. Think about the times your ex said "no" to something you wanted to do, like trying a new restaurant or visiting a local museum. Then, create a breakup bucket list of these items. Ask a friend to join you or go alone as you check off each item on the list. Each time you do something, remind yourself that your ex was holding you back from it. For instance, join a friend for Indian food at the restaurant your ex wouldn't try, paint pottery with a group of friends, play beach volleyball, go on a picnic in the park, visit the planetarium, and go to a slam poetry reading. Picture yourself in a year, 5 years, and 10 years. Think about how you want to live and what type of things you want to do. Then, write down what you hope to accomplish in the coming years so you can start working toward those goals. This can help you create a life you love as you move on from your ex. For instance, you might want to buy a home, build your career, and take your dream vacation. Similarly, you might realize that you want to add more creativity to your life or that you want to move to a different area.
