I've been sewing up a storm recently, i just keep forgetting to take photos. I pretty much spent from Saturday night to Tuesday night sewing, i've been sewing late into the night on Saturdays until around 2 or 3am, i like that everyone else is in bed and i get to sew uninterrupted! I've been...
i read this last weekend at work and laughed out loud at the beer part... i was thinking, "hey! that's totally what i'd do!" and lookie there.
i'm in love with your ginger, especially in that post beer pink scarf pose.
paying attention
I find that as I repeat a project I have to start adding innovations. Otherwise, I don't concentrate my mind moves off to other jobs, my hands go on autopilot, and mistakes are made. Adding pockets and gathers were the innovations that helped me keep me mindfull of my sewing through the first ha...
hi ethan and all,
i loved your "all our reasons" post and i'm excited to get my hands on the new billy hart, legitimately.
what i wonder is, what is the best way to buy the album so that the musicians see as much of the profit as possible? in terms of both money and kudos? i worry about buying from sites like amazon-- in fact, if my increasingly untrustworthy memory serves, i believe we bought our first TBP albums right from your website. that, and the old virgin store in the city of angels.
in that respect i totally get max's lady gaga comment... who's reaping the reward?
but filesharing, meh. yes, in leaner days, if it had to be done... but now? come on, with sites like pandora and spotify and iheartradio multiplying like rabbits, you can get your music fix (and be introduced to new music as a bonus) easily and without theft, until you have enough pennies for the real thing.

Buried Treasure: Part II
The Book Trader is a pretty tame name for a strange store in our area that seems to be the owner's bizarre combination of used books, taxidermy, collectibles, erotica, and fortune telling apparati all crammed into the smallest possible space and priced to make enough money for the owner to acqui...
gamechanger, definitely. come on, all those bees and whistles make useful clothes FUN!

Year in Review
Thanks to the heads up from Mizz Kalkatroonaa, I'm giving Thinglink a test drive for the Analog Me Clothes I Made 2011 Year in Review. (If you hover over the individual images, you can link back to all the original posts.) So, looking back to last winter I see that I was mostly tweaking my very ...

If you were to pick three of this year's themes to repeat next year, what would they be?
well... he HAS a buttonhole setting, but the dial is sort of off... the positions don't match up to the arrow. it's prolly an easy fix, i just can't get the steam up to lug his 50 pound butt to the service guy!

go for it! sarai makes it SO easy. i didn't even look up anyone's tips/sewalongs, just followed her instructions. it's a boxy cut, too, should you worry regarding sleek.
