Eeey I'm going to be trying to do a YouTube stream for shearing Apple I think some time tomorrow (Friday US west coast time). Is there a time that anyone would prefer?
Okay morning is nice and overcast today so I'm gonna go at it before the sun comes out and the heat hits. Setting up for about 9:30 am PST (12:30 in the afternoon EST).
I think it was my connection. I couldn't get it to work right. Gonna try it again sometime this week I think.
Me: man I wish my pockets were bigger. That would be nice. me @ me: you’ve been sewing for 9 years. Don’t let your dreams be dreams. Spoiler: 16 oz soda for scale
Ok. Spoiler: Lorge picture Bought a remnant of some nice lining material, cut a square six inches deep and twice the width + 1 inch the existing pocket, French seams on two sides. Cut out the bottom of the old pocket, French seamed the new pocket to the old pocket, and felled the flappy bit down so it isn’t bulky in my skinny jeans. It was a fairly difficult project, honestly. I was dealing with narrow seam allowances, weird angles, and bulky jeans that got in the way constantly. I did about half of it by hand. New pocket is about 9 inches deep, plenty deep enough for my phone, headphones, and charger. I don’t use my left front pocket for anything, so I left it small. I have enough lining fabric to do this to at least a couple more pairs of jeans.
I kind of want to sell it, because I have very little use for a little caplet like this, but it was expensive to make and took about 7 hours, and I don't know who would pay $120 for this weird little thing
Mark it up to $200 and through it at ebay or etsy, or even onto a fb group I guarantee you someone will nab it.
my girlfriend is the cutest, it's true and thank u so much for the compliment the lining in the bodice may need to be restitched at some point, but other than that I feel VERY happy with it.
I sent away for some fat eighths of japanese fabric from etsy. my plan is to make a bag for myself, since I got practice making bags for my friends. C: if there's fabric left over I'll make a coin pouch or pencil case or something. I'm not sure which designs will be inside, but from the sample options and the happy reviews I'm excited.
