Since I will evidently be attending my own funeral in the near future, I have decided to make myself a spiffy new six-piece outfit for this special occasion. The outfit will consist of a pair of black combat boots, which I will spit shine, a pair of blue denim jeans, a western-style shirt, a western-style tie, a blue-denim jacket, and a blue denim baseball cap. I decided to start on the jeans first, and I have already purchased the pattern, and the material. The pattern is folded, of course, so it will be necessary for me to iron it, so that it will lie down flat. After that, I will be making templates. I've designed an original sewing frame to help me with the sewing, and I am about halfway through building it right now. The frame is basically like a quilting frame, with the only difference being that I have given it a third dimension. Of course, a wire-framed manniquin would be better, though I probably won't have time to build one. I purchased a working Singer sewing machine at Toys R Us, to study the mechanism, and to dream about building one in my machine shop. Of course, I won't have the time, but, then, I suppose all that any of us can really do is to play the hand that we are dealt out by fate.
Cheers
