So yes, are you any good at putting things together or doing building jobs on your own?

I've tried to make my own skinny jeans but it didn't look as good as I hoped. How's that?

HA! That's a first. I've never heard of anyone doing that before.
But good luck on your next go!

I've been trying to make my own purse, but when it got to the blind stitching, I put the purse on hold. >>

I want to know how to DIY house repairs, or something. That would be very handy.

I can't sew/knit scarves (does this count?)
my cousin gave me this DIY cellphone charm, but I never did it cause the instructions were too hard to read.
Guess I'm not a DIY person.

if you mean arts and crafts and fashion... i'm somewhat of an expert. but definitely not anything to do with home repairs. actually, i have yet to try it.

Sewing etc. isn't my thing since I've only had a 2 week class of textiles in life skills...
BUT, I can cook for myself, I'm quite a good cook and baker. =D
I've tried making my own jean shorts, they turned out okay actually.

Otherwise, I'm a victim, HAHA.

Haha neither can I.
Well I got ONE to turn out right.
Out of five attempts. T_T

I'm okay with assembling stuff as long as there's instructions, though.

I'm okay. Never tried anything drastic though 'cause I'm too scared I'd mess up. haha

I cut my jeans into short-long pants, if you know what I mean, and they turned out really good.
Does that count? XD

[probably not. I just cut off a bunch of material. LOL]

No, I am terrible at those DIY things. I can not assemble anything or make any crafts. I really wish I could though, I would love to be able to sew my own clothes and stuff.

I wish I can DIY things like cell phone charms, earrings, shirts, etc.
But, I just can't :[
I guess I'd need instructions and maybe the materials at firsttt~

DO IT YOURSELF. Hmm so that's what it was stand for this whole time o.o
Anyways, um... like for renting, I can't do it myself because I don't get paid $1000 a month.
So yeah... it will be hard adjusting it. So I still need help from my mom >__< which
is embarrassing, cause I'm 20 now >__< But at the same time, I guess I have to live life
like this feeling guilty and later it will be all worth it

I'll just think positive thoughts.

(*random; watching msnbc news about hurricane gustav evacuation blah blah and i just ate a whopper that i bought 8 hours ago i'm so bad eating it right now. it's a waste of money if i don't eat it.. and throw it away. i'm stupid -__-)

and also paying for phone every month too is hard for me.. the only thing i can do it myself
is paying credit cards, that's it -__-;

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

lols oops, I thought I read the topic correctly -__- but I guess not. So putting up. or Building.
Oh wells, I'll just start it off here >__< I can't put on cellular phone keychain? >__< i can't do that
and I can't put the thread inside the needle hole =x i suck at that -__________-;; that's why
i lost my hope on becoming a fashion designer -__-;; i think i'm going to lose hope as a graphic
designer as well cause i suck at using pen tool =__=;;;; and drawing too.... T__T;;

I'm okay with cooking, I just need the instructions then I can do it alone except using hot stove
or oven I'm scared of fire T__T
