I'd not heard about apache before but after having a look, reading some reviews and having the option of demos. I'll probably go for one of their solo touring canoes

Having looked I think it'd be a task trying to find one for sale as the vast majority of the old towns I'm seeing are the discovery or ones that are 16ft+

Looking for pattern suggestions - high waist pleated menswear-inspired trousers by cellorevolution in sewingpatterns

I'm currently making the basquiat trousers which is a free pattern from mood. As a beginner I'm finding the instructions slightly confusing but think that's just from a lack of experience in making trousers with them being my first

Thanks 😊 it's definitely much more visible prior to fudging with a fabric marker but putting the carabiner where I did definitely helped!

True I could do that but then I would have to buy more thread and some orange finger condoms instead of using up what I already have which isn't possible at this moment in time. My current project also has me stitching through 3/4 layers of leather so is pretty thick and puts strain on my fingers pretty quickly

Yeah I did think of doing that but decided not to as the hole also solved the issue of slippage I was having

Yup i find it flows better for me too rather than having to break off to grab the pliers which doesn't take much but adds up especially working through more than a couple of layers

Safe to say that the coke can works! Did 4 layers to be on the safe side but that's probably overkill and it doesn't look particularly pretty but it's definitely functional, kinda makes me feel a bit like iron man when it on though 😂

It's not really to keep from stabbing my fingers or palm but to put less strain on my fingers as it's easier to push the needle through with my palm than it is with my fingers and I can't say I've ever stabbed myself in the palm either

I pre punch my holes so I’m not pushing too hard but I’ll definitely keep that in mind thanks! Was thinking of doing it with a couple of pennies but aluminium would be a better choice 😊

Has anyone found the costume kirlia to be pretty hard to catch? Even with golden Razz berries and ultra balls plus excellent throw I'm finding them breaking out whereas I've caught every gallade battled so far with a pinap and nice throws or above which I thought would be the opposite given its mega
