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!
I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild
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
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
Merry Christmas, everyone!
If you're looking for something Christmasy to listen to/watch over the next few days, here's the most recent episode of my favorite podcast Blurry Creatures. It's a really fascinating (and nerdy) deep dive into the Biblical story of the Magi.
Two days after my son turned in his last paper for his bachelor's degree, I finished my shirt sewing project. Eight shirts, made to measure. Most of the fabrics are linen. Yes, regrettably you can tell exactly when I got my sewing machine repaired... but I hope these help him as he moves through his master's program and in life.
We had a very quiet Thanksgiving, and I'm doing palate cleansers between the shirts in my shirt gift project, so I ran through the scrap pile and made myself an apron.
Aprons, IME, should be made of thicker fabrics in order to actually prevent splashes and stains from getting to your real clothes. Both of these were skirt leftover bits :)
