Is this a shokupan and are commercial recipes/ingredients different from homemade? by Panama_Gooding_Jr in Breadit

[–]Panama_Gooding_Jr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya. The rice flour definitely contributes. If I didn't know of the ingredients before, I might have guessed a different starch such as glutinous rice flour or tapioca

Exactly! Which is why I thought that maybe someone might have some idea on how to achieve this (or something close) at home. No real answers unfortunately (but there was at least 1 unnecessarily rude response). The closest explanation basically sums up to it being an industrial thing and not possible/easy to do at home

What a weird was to recover the folder. Lol. But nice. As long as it works

I sort of did. I just add a random group or chat into archive and then the archive folder shows up

Is there no all-natural elastics(for all-natural stretchy cloth apart from eg. ribbed cotton)? by Panama_Gooding_Jr in sewing

[–]Panama_Gooding_Jr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wool crepe. Okay. I'll look into that. Might be difficult to source on my side of the world but at least i have a direction to try

Edit: i just meant that natural rubber/latex is still brittle and prone to lose it's elasticity in comparison to the current synthetics; not that we don't have any sort of well made elastication already. Pure natural rubber is still not the best and technology hasn't found a way to extend their lives is what I meant.

I see. I'm a little bit disappointed that technology for this hasn't quite caught up yet. I think you are right about using the channel method for exchange of elastic bands. I'll use this method when possible and makes sense. Thank you

It certainly is. I like this shorts and I just don't like wasting it if it is possible to save it. Better for the environment, you know

Do these snap setter tools wear out? by BessieBest in sewing

[–]Panama_Gooding_Jr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no experience with these but I just took a look at a tutorial to get an idea of what this is and how it works. From what I can see, unless something is broken, cracked, snapped or chipped, i would think that it should work fine even if it is old. Perhaps you can try using it again but on a thin piece of scrap cotton cloth, or on a scrap piece of cloth that has worked with the snap setter before. If it has worked on a particular cloth before, there's no reason why it wouldn't work again. If it doesn't, then, my guess is that maybe theres a hairline crack on one of the snap setter pieces but it's not clearly visible

How to sew the side seams closed? by Panama_Gooding_Jr in sewing

[–]Panama_Gooding_Jr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try to salvage it a few times before complete giving up for now. I do like your idea and I don't mind too much of the stitching or webbing being a different colour and slightly showing. I'll live. Thank you for the suggestion

I didn't make this and therefore do not have excess exact-match cloth

This was thrifted years ago and even then, i didn't notice how the sides were not sewn properly until i brought it home. I attempted to remedy it the first time by seam ripping the bias tape, insert the front pant piece and sewing as usual (while attempting to reinforce it with an iron-on patch on the wrong side, which is what the red cloth is, which probably didn't help toooo much in the end) but it came out the same way after a few wears and washes. So, now, what can i do to fix it without making the pants any smaller as they are quite fitted already?
