30 Days of Blog-mas

So...

Hi

It's been... a while. I spent basically the whole year not posting anything but this is my comeback

Anyway, I decided to do a whole month instead of like 25 days even though Christmas is on the 25th and most everything related to it is 25 days.

It'll be a mix of fluff and smut with various amount of people. I know I'm a few days behind but it's fine. We're fine.

The first one will probably be tomorrow 12/05 and most likely be smut. Let me know if you do want a specific person and one shot and I'll make it happen

Also, I didn't know what to call this so the title might change

Okay, byee

Mending those pesky wear holes in the inner upper thighs of jeans: a journey.

The vast majority of us that both do not have a wide thigh gap and are moderately active while wearing jeans will encounter this type of damage tear frequently. And if, like me, you can't afford to replace your jeans every few months and find the placement of these holes a little problematic, mending them is an attractive option.

But patching such a large area - and the material is thinning and needs reinforcement no matter how small the hole is currently- on the exterior is very obvious and often unsightly, bringing potentially unwanted attention to a fairly personal area.

So!

The answer is to apply the patch to the inside and make sure both the fabric and the thread match the existing material as closely as possible.

I had accumulated an impressive number of jeans that had developed this defect (24!), some over two decades old. I first took a separate stack of jeans that either I couldn't wear anymore or had other defects not worth repairing and cut them up for patches. I ended up with four long usable panels (2 per leg, front and back). I cut one of these panels in half to use as my interior patch to cover the crotch and a length down each inner thigh.

I then pinned it in place, going down both sides of the seams first (since that area is less stretched out) and then pinning the edges down after smoothing them out.

And then I hand-basted the patch in place with some high-contast embroidery floss I had left over from various cross-stitching kits.

I tried to make it lay as smooth as possible, but as wearing the jeans tended to turn the flat fabric into concave, there were a few spots that ended up with a few wrinkles in the original material. I made sure to put them near the big seams so they're less noticeable.

And then I dragged out my sewing machine and loaded it up with the special needles for jeans (reinforced to go through tough/thick fabric) and the special cotton thread for jeans in a medium blue. Unfortunately I could only get one color of jean thread due to my cash flow situation so it will show a little on the lighter and darker jeans, but not enough to worry about.

I then sewed a simple stitch next to my basting thread. It was all straight lines with 90 degree turns. The only issue was I could only sew a few inches at a time, because I was essentially working in a bowl. Had to pause to readjust the piece and smooth out the next run. It still went really quickly.

And then I used my trusty seam ripper to remove the basting thread and viola! Here's one of the pairs with a higher contrast so you can see what it looks like on the exterior:

You honestly don't notice it when they're being worn. If you use a smaller patch (or two separate patches), you may want to do some more reinforcing stitching. By making my own patches so large, most of the stitching is outside of the friction zone so the thread won't be threatened by wear. For the stitches next to the original seams, well the seams have a higher profile and will protect them.

The one thing I will change the next time is to use pinking shears on the patches before I pin them in place to control fraying. Otherwise I've been wearing them and it's great!

I feel like I want to go home but I don’t have one of those. I want to be near my best friend. I’m frightened by rampant and violent transphobia in our culture. I’m somewhere safe and secure but I feel vulnerable. I want to hide. I want to be left alone. I want to be near others. Everyone is so distracted and overwhelmed by life. I feel invisible. I want to be held.

In this current state of intoxication I realize that my thematic issues with the Steven Universe finale were reliant on projecting Pink Diamond onto Steven, and that it was all based on how it was pulled off- especially how easy it would have been to fix!

Change White Diamond’s pink lighting that makes it look like maybe Steven took control of her to being multicolored, making it more clear that she’s not had her abilities turned back on her, but rather whatever the flushing was supposed to symbolize (which I can kind of identify but can only gesture towards, perhaps not only because I am on drugs), and move “Change Your Mind” from its clumsy placement at the end, and make it play over White Diamond changing hers.

Then, have Sadie Killer and the Suspects play over the part that has the Off-Colors landing and meeting the Diamonds; then, the song ends after the fast version of the the scene with the Diamonds and the Off-Colors.

Everything is the same after that, minus the clumsy implementation of the song “Change Your Mind” into the show, so it ends with the reprise of the theme song.

Dalek Emperors will see a plot-important humanoid and be like "is anyone gonna project a duplicate of their own consciousness onto this?" and not wait for an answer
