I heard it was unofficial 295ib day

Watermelon in the big apple

Might should’ve brought an actual jacket on this trip

Garden Day

Non consensual. Silver is begging for his own 427

Channeling my inner @denim-dawg today.

Cold day in NOLA.

If ever there were a more perfect outfit for black and white, idk what it would be.

ReLove 812 I scored off the last drop! I had no idea how good these were until I got ‘em in hand. Wow! Today’s high was 92° and I’m right as rain. In person, the warm silver tone of the sterling snap (thanks, UK crew!) against the creamy white hue of the herringbone is…. I believe the Italian word for it is 🤌.

Can’t believe Guilty Party still had this in stock. Y’all are sleeping on the 427. This is right up there with the watermelon for shirt of the year.

These people don’t even understand the greatness that they are in the presence of. Don’t worry. I’ll tell them; because I care about people.

Do hashtags work on forums? #melonlove

@Pointman Buy yourself a basic machine and some fabric. Watch a YouTube video. Try making something easy. Don’t be afraid to mess up. When you do mess up, fix the mistake instead of accepting it. Throw pillows make a great practice project.

@motojobobo One of the reasons I still carry a camera on vacations is specifically to limit the amount of minutes my phone is in my hands. A camera lets you disconnect while still capturing moments.

@Giles 100% agree. Sewing isn’t rocket surgery; although, getting seams looking as clean as your team does takes a decent amount of time behind the machine. I really enjoy the puzzle aspect as well. Figuring out how everything fits together and the order of operations is very fun.

Interestingly enough, I figured it would be a hobby that wouldn’t necessarily be something I told everyone about. Not that it’s embarrassing; just not something you go around bragging about. However, my wife seems oddly proud that her husband sews. She tells all her friends. Who would’ve figured.

@Lynne I have the Ultrafeed LSZ. I like it, but I originally bought it to keep on my sailboat. Now that it lives in my office, I’ll likely replace it with a full size machine. I use it for the occasional leather project as well.

I have my Fuji set to jpeg only, that way I can’t reframe in post. I’ve had several unusable images, but it ultimately made me a better and more thoughtful shooter. I also always use a film simulation and don’t edit my Fuji shots at all. I tried to get as close to the film experience as possible without having to deal with scanning negatives or traveling with film.

@motojobobo

I bounce between a Sony A1 and a Fuji X100VI.

The Fuji caused me start carrying a camera much more than I ever did with the Sony, and as the man said, “the best camera is the one you have with you.”

There are many other reasons I think the X100 is great and why I think it helps you become a better shooter, but ultimately, if it makes you take a camera with you more places, that’s all you really need to know …and it’s just plain fun to use.

I hadn’t considered incorporating the pocket bags into the seam. My biggest worry was throwing off the proportions. I felt that if the length of the placket under the bottom snap was shorter than the length between snaps, it wouldn’t look right. This was as short as I could go without crossing that line.

@Lynne
High praise coming from you!

That machine is a Singer 29K172 I picked up recently. Still tweaking it. This work I did on my Sailrite.

If the whole idea of IH is to invest more time wearing fewer garments, then I figured my favorite shirt should fit as close to perfect as I can get it. No point in investing time in something that only fits pretty well. I started by shortening the bottom hem and slightly softening the curve.

I always feel that a shirt looks best when the front hits mid-fly, the back mid-pocket, and the sides just barely covering your pant pockets. I also wanted to keep it long enough that the space under the original bottom snap wasn’t so short that it looked weird. The last consideration was leaving just a bit of fabric that hung below the pocket bags so they didn’t hang out when I put something heavy in them.

I think the sleeves are next.

Before

Nervousness

After

I tried my best to replicated the original stitching on the placket


I also threw a couple bar tacks on either side of the name tab on the chest pocket, then removed the stitching between them to open up a pencil slot.

Having just a little of your fly exposed really lengthens the look of your leg, and I need all of that I can get!

Frida works so well on the pointer finger with the rosettes going so far down the sides.
