Do you use an embroidery loop for this? I'm interested in getting into sashiko embroidery, but I want to make sure I have the right supplies for the effort.

There are Democrats who hold strong values and fight for causes they believe in - but so often I see their contributions minimized or dismissed as being too much. Coming to terms with this being the main cause of losing the election is rough.

Pat yourself on the back more often. You deserve it. And your work is awesome.

kantha is a south asian technique for recycling scrap fabric. it was originally used at a time when fabric was very precious. the technique involves attaching layers of scrap material using a running stitch (pics 1, 2 and 3). it's similar to japanese boro (pic 4).

I wish you the best of luck sourcing the fabric. Mills End in PDX tends to have a good supply of workwear fabrics if all else further North fails.

Unless there's extra fabric saved in the shoulder (like extra long seam allowance), I don't think there's a lot that can be done. Still looks awesome though. Maybe you could wear it like it's 3/4 length with the sleeves pushed up?

Only cowards would blame minorities and individuals that cannot fight back. The topic of immigration as framed by Republicans is anti-American, cowardly, and a distraction from the real problem of corporate feudalism and wage-slavery.

Anyway, after a day of maintenance it works now and the latest date I could find on it was 1923 so like it's potentially 101 years old. Underwood No. 5. Absolute madness!

In Texas, maternal mortality last year was up *56%*... and among *white women,* it doubled. It was already so high among Black women, they still have higher rate than white women. But, yes, women who thought they were "safe" are not safe. www.nbcnews.com/health/women...
