Technical Difficulties And Yes, Autumnal Hemming Job Returns

 Hi!

I have a new computer. The old one....it died.

I had been saving all my photos to a separate terabyte drive.

That drive will not acknowledge me.

Dang.

I will bend it to my will, but it's going to take a hot minute. In the meantime, here are some photos of hemming pants


Alright, marking hems on pants. A sewing machine and an iron was used.



Panera is not my favorite place, but their catering delivery bag is a beast and will hold a family of four comfortably.


Black pants. Mmmmm.

In more interesting blog postings, Closet Core has a guest post from Sophie Hines about adaptive sewing tools.

I love pockets. I am pretty sure that's evident, but these are a little more tactical than evening wear usually requires.

Who else needs pouches?
DEADPOOL.

This is a story about owning how ridiculous you are. 
Rob Liefeld put lots and lots of pouches on his characters.

I am sewing. Mending. Choir clothes came in, halfway done. Will have some photos and some thoughts. Much love to our froggy friends in Portland.
