god i know i said i was tired of making eveerything sad but just imagine timber those first few months of reconnecting and they're both drunk on tim's boat, laying on the deck staring up at the stars and bear turns over to look at tim, his eyes are sad and wet, and he reaches out to touch tim's face as if to make sure tim is really there and not an illusion and tim whispers, "bear?" and bernard smiles a little brokenly and goes, "so how long do i have you for this time?"

An actually traditional patch for once, I threw this one together to cover a hole that was _just barely_ too big to embroider on the fly. Wanted to get some small mends out of the way while a load of laundry was spinning, you see!
First up, we've got the hem on the patch itself. That fabric was pretty stretchy, and the piece was pretty small, so it was a much fiddlier process than you'd expect, especially doing it all by hand!
Trundling on, however, we find that plenty of whip stitches will make that hole we're patching hold still! I actually originally dyed this sashiko thread yellow for a completely different project, but I've wound up using it more often for other thisn'thats, not having gotten to that project quite yet. (Maybe we'll see it sometime soon?)
Last but not least, we attach the patch fabric! Well, that, and we add some additional yellow stitching along some of the looser bits of the seams of the shirt. This shirt in particular actually has been kicking around for a long, long while, at least from the perspective of the average t-shirt, as my mom grabbed it in one of her travels to California back in 2002-ish! Most especially with that in mind, I'm really glad to have kept this shirt in my repertoire, and out of the landfill.

I have a multitude of things I should have been doing lately: checking my dash here, finishing a quilt I promised my dad months ago, working on a cover letter for a full time job that’s due Thursday. Have I done any of those things? Nope. Instead I listened to the recent fansplaining episode on fanbinding and decided I wanted to poke that. Specifically I wanted to do all of the fiddly typesetting bits and spend time really getting into minute details on something because I don’t ever really get to do that and I like it.
I decided on Pride and Prejudice because 3 copies isn’t enough lol Anywho! After taking a big block of html text from project gutenberg, I think I’ve almost wrangled it into a typeset resembling a real book. It’s very satisfying.
