            We could potentially add initials or simple short words to flat areas…

            that would be awesome

              They're a very very old pair of these guys.

                  Aaah the glamour of fashion…crotch repairs.
                  I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else though.
                  It really is the best thing, for me, to be able to revive a piece of clothing or fabric.

                    After years and years of corporate life, I have found my ikigai ️

                    I read a book about this concept years ago, I'm still searching for mine...

                    Have and idea of what I need to do, but I'm definitely stuck in the corporate comfort zone right now!

                        Have you given much thought as to what this hypothetical brand would specialise in?

                            @Giles top secret, or is there anything you'd be willing to share?

                            I'm sure after all these years in the game, you've identified some unfilled niches in the market...

                                    Probably a brand of fishing rods designed to look like common household items so they can be more easily hidden from wives.

                                        Ohh baby the 5-thread double chain stitch overlock is on!
                                        5-thread overlock combines a chain stitch with a finishing stitch over the edge, it is also a safety stitch.
                                        I can’t wait to see the results!
