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

that would be awesome

@Oaktavia re: Xmas photos. Sorry I didn't get back sooner!

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

Still my favour pair I've owned.

[Oaktavia]

@Freeman ah right on man those are sick

[Lynne]

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 ️

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!

[Giles]

Here's mine

If ever I launched another brand, it would be called Ikigai.....

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

[Giles]

Possibly

[T4920]

@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...

Pronounced: Icky Guy? perfect

Yep

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

New overlocker added to the collection, our local machine Guru Rob, giving me and @Lynne a run down of the machine.

[Karol]

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!

[Freeman]

Broke my first needle today.

[Oaktavia]

@Freeman but was it done by sewing 25oz denim?!

[Freeman]

@Oaktavia it was actually a leather patch onto 21oz.

[Oaktavia]

@Freeman Ah well that makes sense, those patches are thicc.
