Anyone able to ID the logo on this vintage ashtray (?). Aviation and/or model airplane related, I would guess. Estate of an RC plane and aviation buff. #aviation

In today's can-I-fix-it pile from an estate sale. Already aharpened all the vintage shears. They were all dull, but now work perfectly. Clearly the owner did not know how to sharpen shears, but also did not want to throw them out. I don't need them all, anyone new to sewing like me that needs one (for the cost of postage)? The fancy Fiskars ones there won't cut a darn thing, I will have to figure out how to sharpen curves. And one of those tiny ones is riveted together so you can't tighten it, even if you can sharpen it. #sewing

Sigh, of course, the measuring tape only appeared after I ordered a measuring tape yesterday. (in the rule of "stuff only shows up at garage/estate sales after you order them online")

At our city's recycling/free materials store. This may be considered a banned book in the US, at the rate Fascism is taking over. Going to skim it then it goes in the free library... #books

Stressful week at work. Measuring and cutting fabric out kast night was my meditation. #sewing

Sewing lessons being applied to this shirt on this go around:
1. Used the ultimate measurements on the last shirt to adjust the pattern slightly. The "Large" on the original pattern immense and cut inches off to tailor it to my taste. Hopefully did not shrink it too far, LOL.
2. Instead of cutting the pattern pinned to the fabric, marked the pattern on the fabric (still using that crayon. Tailor's Chalk ordered).
3. Used weights, not pins, to hold pattern down while marking. We have some Cornhole weights here I used.
4. Used good shears (Ginghers I restored and aharpened!) The difference in neatness is HUGE.
5. IRONED more than I needed to keep stuff flat.
6. Used scraps and am testing tension BEFORE sewing anything on the clothing item, instead of messing things up and redoing them.
