A length of medium gauge wire that has been shaped into a somewhat uneven U-shape.

Refining algorithmically derived (from literal textbook methods) crotch curves on trouser slopers is the height of tedium. So as part of developing the patterns for #SkysOutThighsOut, I’m trying out Carol Kimball’s “crotch master” method. Step 1: shape wire to crotch actual curve. #sewing

All caught up on customer stuff, it’s time to start patterns for a new #ElfkinCollection look: #SkysOutThighsOut. Will be making for myself for a change. Rather than predictable jersey, I’m planning to use linen and cotton lawn.

And yes, Virginia, I 100% use pre-drawn croquis. #sewing #fashion

Black Umbro checkerboard shorts

It is our sacred duty to bring back the checkerboards #SkysOutThighsOut

Yall gon get this thigh meat come summer. #SkysOutThighsOut

May January bring muscles and good fortune to everyone! #bodybuilding #gaybodybuilding #lgbtq #queerfitness #muscles #flex #quads #skysoutthighsout

At this rate, I will not have any pants left by the end of summer. Every pair of pants is just a pair of cutoff shorts waiting to happen.
