Real Men Learn to Sew



The past month at Studio 658 has been a blast, we had our first "Real Man Sewing Class"!
Some sailing friends of mine changed gears and applied themselves to the task of leaning how to sew. So now, on the weekends, in addition to talking about sailing all the time, we can talk sewing too. They can throw around their new sewing lingo, such as: "stitch in the ditch", (I think this is John's favorite) bias binding, grainline, and selvedge edge.

In 4 classes they accomplished an amazing list of projects. Including: a round fabric bucket, a zipper pouch, jean hemming, John made a skirt for his Goddaughter and Tom made a grill cover for his boat grill. They also dabbled in piping and bias binding. Whew.
They both get an A+!

Umm, they are cranking out product faster than me. I hope they don't open Etsy shops.
