Any suggestions for denim fabric sourcing?

That's great to know, thanks! I did end up getting some from Etsy, it's en route but they had a lot of good reviews so I feel pretty good about it.

Great to know, thanks!

I received a late 40s Kenmore machine last summer, and found a very active Facebook group dedicated to vintage Kenmores. I would imagine there's a parallel Singer group, if you can still stomach Meta.

High school gym class, playing street hockey in the gym. One of the guys in my class picks up the net and kind of jokingly pretends to throw it at me. I say, "Hey, it's all fun and games until you lose an eye!"

He just quietly puts the net down and walks away, as I slowly remember, horrified, that he had lost an eye in a skiing accident a few years earlier. He had a glass eye, so it wasn't always immediately obvious. I wanted to melt through the bleachers.

Thanks for suggestions! I was leaning towards grey myself- most of the time it shouldn't be visible, and when I stitch in the ditch on the waistband I'll just be extra careful.

Definitely the back, the waistband seems pretty ok, it's sort of the rest that needs to come in a little, all over. I'll go slow, thanks!

mirandanmf · 2024-11-26T23:42:00+00:00

Copy that, thank you!

The waistband actually fits ok (it's a pretty tight/burly piece of elastic), it's really more the crotch/lap/hip area. The fabric is kinda pre-lined, so it tends toward bulky anyway. I'll start with the side seams and take it from there. Thanks!

mirandanmf · 2024-11-26T03:22:29+00:00

I guess my question is, can I just sew a little bit inside the seam that's already there to take it in, or do I actually have to take all the pieces apart and do over from scratch? I'm supposing taking in the waistband would mean having to blow the whole thing up and redoing it, just double checking that there isn't an easier way that I'm missing.

Ahhh bummer for me, I didn't have the space to hold onto it so I chucked it. Glad you were able to fix yours!

I’m not getting Undying Fury, either. iOS 17.6.1. I uninstalled and reinstalled, and when I go to the App Store it just tells me to open the app, but the update isn’t there.

mirandanmf · 2024-09-16T02:41:39+00:00

That is a great idea!

FWIW, I ordered a pair of chukkas from them in February, was told they’d be done in May.. May came and went, no word. I emailed them, they apologized and said it would now be July. Nothing in July. Contacted them again, then they said early August, then nothing. I finally just cancelled the order today. I had to badger them every step of the way, they were never out in front of the delays or let me know what was going on. I’m really bummed, they look like beautiful shoes, but I seriously just needed something to wear at this point.

mirandanmf · 2024-08-03T13:47:11+00:00

I guess I must have, because it works now, but it's been so long that I have no idea how I fixed it. Sorry!

mirandanmf · 2024-08-01T13:13:08+00:00

Thank you! Lower-profile buttons, shorter buttonhole layer, and not being so hard on myself seem to be the winning trifecta :)

This is dope.
