Interesting seam details & necklines

For the past couple months, I have been binge watching all the Stargate shows. (I can't stand most of the current junk that's being produced, and have decided to go back and watch all the stuff I missed over the last 40 years.)

The Atlantis series is more science team than military so they have a lot of interesting jackets and t-shirts. They're sort of uniform-like in that different departments wear different colors but there isn't any obvious reason for when they wear what they wear (it really just boils down to costumers doing what they do for visual interest/variety in a scene). The budget for season 3 included a bunch of custom t-shirts for the expedition leader who rarely leaves the station to give her more variety than jacket over plain red t-shirt or just plain red t-shirt.

I really like the seams on the first one and the neckline is fascinating, but I'm not sure I really like the shape. You can see the black sides on the princess-seamed shirt worn by someone who wears white - there are red and blue versions of that style as well. And then they also made a v-neck with the facing on the outside - plain but still interesting.

Has anyone else ever watched this or any of the other Stargate series? Gotta love shows that were made back when a standard season was at least 20 episodes!

Studio video tour!

I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild

Paint!

I started cutting all the edges while Janet was away yesterday morning. When she got back after lunch, she pulled out a roller and started filling in. I'll put a pic below in the comments. #SewingStudioBuild

Time-lapse floor install (part 2)

We broke for lunch and then came back with a portal ac unit plugged in to an extention cord from the house. Can't wait until they finished hooking up all the electrical and we have the mini split cooling the room for us - it was stupid humid today! #SewingStudioBuild

In my email this morning

More on the Michael's purchase of JoAnn. "Ever-expanding" plus it went on to say they will be carrying sewing machines, notions, and thread in stores. And there was a 50% off one item coupon - let me know if any of you need that.

I'm kind of surprised I have to sign up for emails (not sure if I want to yet) considering how many companies sell email lists.

I finally finished the patchwork jeans! @SewBrooke , the elastic in the waistband suggestion worked brilliantly. I ended up taking it as close to the button/buttonholes as I could, because the waistband I originally picked had the buttons on the wrong side and I had to piece it together/the second waistband was also collapsed in from wear. I really don’t know why, I checked against all of my jeans and I did put the fly on the correct side! Anyway, it’s done, and I’ll be happy to come up with a project that takes much less time. After I clean up the leftover bits— it looks like I used 7 pairs of jeans/shorts, so I have a lot of tops and leftover leg/waistband scraps!

Citizen journalism... I ran to Michael's and this is the fabric. All of it. Great prices though.
