He can keep his crap

Oh that’s great. In my experience all leather vendors are more than excited to see what we make from their products! Badalassi is badass.

I haven’t yet. Would an older release work with newer iOS and the Apple TV app then?

Body Energy Club for Whey Isolate and Creatine. Surprisingly never mentioned. Their clean isolate is really nice. High protein, no crap in it and light flavoured (at least the vanilla) so really versatile. 3rd party tested. Decent price.

They have two creatine products. One is a bit more expensive but it’s 100% creapure from Germany. I really like it.

BEC is out of BC and they also sell other brands: https://www.bodyenergyclub.com/

I only hand sew

Always smart to do paper or card board first you are right. I am not sure if I understand your last sentence. A panel instead of a dart? How does that work?

Yeah I find it hard to translate from fabric sewing to leather. It’s a different craft really unless you work with very soft and thin leather maybe.

I have seen pics or a video a while ago of corners done on leather that I have posted about. I just can’t find them anymore. I really have two questions: 1) do I just cut a slit or do I have to remove a “slice” there 2) how deep do I cut.

I think I’ll have to play around with some scraps to figure out the right approach. The ones I saw had the cut stitched back together, turned and then the edge of the whole side was sewn to a strip of leather. Then the leather strip was sewn to the gusset (side and bottom of bag).

We have been buying these for ages. They finally get the attention and business they deserve.

[–] bowreality 23 points 2 weeks ago

Excellent. Let go harder at it.

[–] bowreality 2 points 2 weeks ago (10 children)

Thanks I’ll look for “dart”. That makes actually sense. Not sure why I didn’t come up with it.

I had deleted all my content before the subs went dark. Some (very few) came back and I deleted again. But for a couple of weeks now my account is clear of all content. I decided to request my data from Reddit to see what they would send. They sent me my whole (deleted!) content. Like every comment and post ever submitted to the site. Is there anyway to request them to delete?!

 

I am still on version 1 but I want to add the iPad app. Are the files compatible or will I run into the version issue?! They have a sale on right now so I am looking at $125 (universal upgrade) vs iPad only ($18). It’s a huge difference. I don’t need the full suite of software really just the designer.

 

I am looking for a good tutorial that explains how I can turn my older Mac mini into a NAS. I need something that’s easy to understand -ELI5 kind of style please. Long time Apple user but that seems daunting. Any ideas where to find some info?!

New handbag (self.creative)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/899748

I made another handbag. I had that design in mind for a long time (before I even started hand sewing). The red leather is Arif & Sons in chomp red (Jack glazed) and then is used a black vegtan as strap.

Upgrade to my home gym (self.applefitnessplus)

I got my “hustle” sign installed! It switches on when I start a AF+ workout and off when I am done. Can’t wait for the stack feature to see if it stays on during consecutive workouts. For now it triggers on and off with each which is fine too.
