Style Arc To The Rescue

Sometimes the thing I bought the fabric for turns out to be a bad idea

And then I need to think of something else.

The fabric in question is in the bucket under the bucket. Dyed the fabric and it still was a fail. A sad dull icky fail.

Pinterest used to be a good brain jogger, but it's so full of ads and repeats, there's no real deep dive. And Any Popular Internet Search Engine tends to have the same gamed results.

Thus, Style Arc.

A deep enough catalog of recognizable tech drawings and patterns similar to ones I own.

(there's a whole conversation about that I'm sure I had with myself about this over the years)

Now I cruise their patterns for ideas and use them for my own.

I have enough patterns.

I can kluge a feature onto one that already fits me.

I have a couple of sweater knits that need to be made up to keep me warm in this very cold and housebound spring

 This idea is for later

Alteration Tailor Thing, LLC.

I would buy this shirt in a heart beat if the grammar wasn't ghastly.

I'm an alterations - what? 

This is a thing all over TeeSpring. And I genuinely love the 'get 'er done' attitude, but nope. What language are we using here?

And where did this quote come from?

Hey, I have the internet. Right here!

My favorite sources are these screenshots from Goodreads:

Really?  I can't seem to get a definitive source, so am chalking it up to the 'stone age human carved this into the wall' level of attribution.

So I played around with this.

I think that TeeSpring auto-generates designs, as a search on their site using 'alterations' yields a ton of fun and weird designs. and then a few pages in, the corrections begin.

99% true, except the binge drinking

Overdone phrase these days, but yes.

I like this one, screenshot from the onscreen ad: Alteration Tailor Thing. I should name my business that. Also, I love the idea that the freakin awesome tailor would BUY the wife the hoody. If he was that freakin' awesome, he would have sewn it for her.

YMMV

Wait, we have clerks? 

Well, yes. Although I do the alterations at night as well. Because this woman never sleeps.

Many of the images on this post are from TeeSpring.

Except for that one with the sewing machine in the middle.
That one is mine.
