Still learning

Im still learning how to do the cool geometrical stuff but i found something that i love the look of and just feels super fun.

My partner is in blue collar work so he has his work pants that wear constantly. He tends to kneel on his right knee when doing certain tasks and has blown through them and it sucks how expensive good work pants are. Ive been doing mending on his pants for 2 years now sometimes by hand and sometimes on the sewing machine.

Idk how you guys are able to do such cool designs. I struggle so hard and I treat it more like embroidery than actual sashiko. I have to use a hoop otherwise it feels wonky and there’s always a crease somewhere in my work

What is this noise?

2011 ltz with new engine. Sounds like its coming from behind the steering column. Kinda sounds like a cd player having trouble reading a cd lol. No mechanical issues as far as i know

I LOVE THESE SHORTS

I bought these shorts at a ross probably a year or two ago now and i LOVE THEM, i really want another pair but i can’t reliably find them and honestly i don’t want to pay for them again. I’ve mended them a handful of times and at this point and theres too many weak points on the fabric i don’t know how many more times i can repair them. I guess my question is how “easy”/reliable it is to copy the pattern? Has anyone had any experience with this? And am i able to copy the pattern without tearing them apart. I also have no experience with sewing darts and i believe this pattern has a couple

Help id?

I got this guy as a rescue. Someone left him in a gallon baggie at my work one day and i took him home. I think he was more than likely sold as a “assorted African cichlid” hes about 4-5 inches in length. Also i know the decor isnt ideal for him but i recently moved him into a 75 gal tank and am planning on getting more appropriate decoration just a matter of money. I want to add more cichlids eventually but im hesitant without a proper id. This photo was taken shortly after the tank move so hes definitely not super happy in this pic
