Codpiece: learn it, live it, love it.

I surprised myself a little last night. For the first time in about a year, I sat down to make a pair of tights.  Well, actually, four pairs of tights, but I was only concerned with finishing one. I'll do the other three tonight.

Except for being a lot slower - the big serger is in storage downstairs so I'm on a small, domestic Juki - the tights went together just the way they used to. Like riding a bike, to put more wear on a threadbare old analogy. Once I got back into the groove of it, it was kind of fun, like revisiting an old haunt and finding it more or less the way you remembered it.

I've reopened the Seamlyne website to new tights orders. My motivation is two-fold: I've got fabric to clean out of the basement, and we could use the extra money just now. My selection of colors is limited, but that's really the only limitation. My patterns were right where I left them.

Lots of green, lots of brown, a little wine, a little navy. Notty, there's purple in there too that I'm holding back you you :)

I've also got a box of tights that were cut out but never assembled that can go in the off-the-rack section. That ought to be fun tracking down the pieces that are missing.

I've also put the design site back online, hoping to generate some traffic there. As I've read back over it, I've found some items I'd like to change - most notably in the footwear section - and probably will over time. For the time being, it's just good to see it again.

So, spread the word, my friends. I'd appreciate all the publicity I can get.

I want it! PDA wears them out I wonder how!

We actually need to take in the legs of the last ones I got from you. (and I SO can not do that myself)

I guess he's getting even more awesome!

Well, once faire's over let's get together, eh?

I may be speaking out of turn here, but hold onto the wine until you talk to retdet. He is in real need of a new pair or two, but... he's particular about his color and the ones he's wearing out are from you, so I'm sure it's correct. I'll let them know you have it ASAP :-)
