French Seams suck but they look so nice... **** zipper feat do that **** the haaaaaard way

And I've been making a lot of stuff too, mostly really crude cavemenswear. Weird poncho, wrap collar jacket, maybe some sort of pant-thing? Lots of painter's canvas and handstitching. Pics when stuff is done.

This can be disassembled. Everything fits together without screws or nails, they just slide into each other like tongue and groove
