Wonder Clips and other random stuff
Sometime in the past, I suppose, I started making a pair of gi pants for
a martial arts class I was in at the time, which I did not finish (the pants, not the martial arts class). A few days ago, I found the pieces of it, 2 legs that had the inseam sewn on each leg, but the legs had not yet been sewn together. I suppose that I also started a gi top as well, but I did not find the pieces for that. Right now I am not in any sort of martial arts class, so there is real point in finishing the pants, at least not for that purpose, but I have some ideas as to what to do with the pieces: 1. Sew them together and install a drawstring or elastic (I suppose I could be really fancy and put in drawstring elastic) and use them as lounging/pajama pants. 2. If I undid the inseams, and cut the pieces into rectangles, the rectangles would be quite large, ~2ftx3ft (60cmx90cm), which could make some nice shopping bags (though I already have plenty of those) or a nice laundry bag. 3. I can't really think of anything else, but I could take them apart, make them into the rectangles and save them for some future use when I have some specific need for white material. I also recently got a $5.00 Amazon gift certificate for giving blood (that is not why I do it, but it is nice when I get something like that it is nice) and looked on Amazon, and a 50-pack of wonderclips is ~$4.00 with ~$.50 S/H, for a total of about $4.50, so I am going to use the gift ceritficate to buy the wonderclips and give them a try. I am thinking about joining a quilting guild. My main motivation for doing so would be to help with making charity quilts. I guess I don't really have any specific questions, but am just soliciting comments on these things I am pondering. I was also wondering how one joins the RCTQ facebook group. A few weeks ago, I went to that page, and clicked the button that said "join group." For a few days after that, the button said "membership pending," but then after that the button changed back to saying "join group," indicating that my membership was denied, but I could find no explanation of why. Is the group totally closed right now, do I need to send a personal message to one of the moderators, or what? I also have drawn a new cartoon, which I may put up either later tonight or perhaps tomorrow. -- My Yonkoma: https://www.flickr.com/photos/brian0...57680223526176 The E-mail associated with the account is a "spamcatcher" account that I got to every couple of months to empty out, and anything sent to it will not be seen for probably several months, if it is seen at all.
