Hey whoever you are from the far eat! Yes, i do have a few tips for making underwear from pleather, PVC and vinyl. My question is first...why? or maybe i don't want to know. First pick a pleather with a knit backing for comfort and stretch. Cut with no ease. Seams don't need finishing as they don't unravel. Place the center front zipper under the pleather, right side to wrong side, stitch around the zipper and carefully trim away the fabric so the zipper's exposed. Cut the elastic for the waist so it's three quarters of the waist measure make a casing and insert the elastic. the casing should begin and end at the zipper tape. The legs can be done the same, only with narrow elastic.
And that's all i'm saying as this is totally creeping me out.
When I got this morning it was the first morning in weeks where I didn't have a stuffed up nose. Wow. Maybe that danged cold really is gone!
So yesterday my son lays a whole bunch of heavy stuff on me...and then when I say I've got heavy things on my own mind, deciding to go full time into a business is some heavy head work you know...and then he acts oblivious! He's like, "oh...I didn't know that what you were thinking..." like DUH! I'm thinking about going into a business that has a huge failure rate...I'm actually more likely to fall flat on my face than to succeed...and face it...it's not like I'm going out to cure cancer or something...and it really takes nerves and balls of steel to even consider turning this into a full time job...but apparently I'm not much fun anymore and I''ve become inflexible and prickly and not as spontaneous...and him and his girlfriend are inder a lot of stress and don't need ME adding to it...but he had no idea I was thinking of working full time (In other words, whose going to clean up my mess after i make dinner for me and my girlfriend?)
My sewing machines understand me. My fabric understands me. My hubby understands me. (Dave added, that my new puppy dog steve understands me) the kids, however, are self centered and only understand how things relate to them and how much it inconveniences them personally. Now Dan and his girlfriend want to have a heart to heart...sigh...when half the problem is they are both so wrapped up in their school stuff that they have lost perspective. It's not about them, it's about me. For once. Sigh. So that last thing I'm in the mood for is a heart to heart with two kids in the middle of mid term exams who are both sleep deprived and stressed out beyond the limit and who think that I'm mad at them, when I'm not even thinking about them!
Sigh. Bitch Bitch Bitch. Ben's got his march break week starting a day early. I'm leaving him alone part of the day to pay a few bills and things. Later we're going to the mall, The one that doesn't have a sewing store or an adorable puppy dog working in said sewing store.
I talked to my mom for over an hour on the phone (earlier I talked with my sis in law for almost two hours. With five kids she needs someone to listen while she vents. I always have an available ear) My mom is really getting hyped about making a small wardrobe for her trip out west. She wants to go look for fabric next week. i still like the idea of fabric that's not too bulky but with some textural interest. I would also like to get her into one thing that sheer and colourful with strong vertical lines and a bit of pizazz, something fun that can dress up plain pants and a top or be the extra touch that turns an ordinary dress into something WOW. She want me to teach her to sew. That's funny and ironic...my mom wants me to teach her how to sew. I gave her a few tips on measuring and how to find the pattern pieces on the burda pattern sheet and how to ignore all the other lines that she doesn't need.
Hey, bald guy from New Jersey...Did ya see this article yet? Apparently there's a special salon for bald guys and they sell a special sunscreen for guys like you so you don't have to suffer from what you told me was the "true heartbreak of male pattern baldness, the sun-burnt scalp." I feel for you. I really do. I feel like laughing. And you stop laughing at my adult children. Head wipes?! Bald styling cream? Do you guys actually spend money on this stuff? So do you think as I do, that its' so sad that britney has made bald suddenly un-sexy? Is it enough to make you want to grow hair to rip it out again?
Speaking of odd hair...remember Mr T and his strange hair? And his gold chains? And his catchy buzzphrases? And who didn't want a talking Mr T doll? There is no real Mr T doll with pull string...but there is an internet virtual MrT doll. And he's found here! pull his string and you'll hear one of Mr T's pithy catch phrases.
What did we do before the internet and the world weird web? Huh? How di we survive? Now I need to pay some bills and go to city hall then to the hydro office then to Vincenzo's and then home to shower and then get ready to go to the mall and then....
