Thought you guys might be interested in this... I was just messing around thinking I might put something on some of the blank pockets of my jeans (APC, Uniqlo, HL). Anyone have ideas?

will said Cookie be Fedexed over night to the winner or will we have to wait for a stale cookie via ground shipping?

It's an e-cookie, as usual.

Used a zigzag stitch on my machine and changed the width as I went. I did the right one first and learned that the width only changes to the right, thus the odd-shaped droplet. (They were supposed to look like drips) On the second one I also slightly moved the piece left as I adjusted the width to try to keep it centered, and it came out a bit better. This is really my first time trying to make designs with the machine, so I'm sure I will get better with practice.

I know dude, I was just joking.

Are they Uniqlo GreenLines with the Selvage?

That'd be really cool to try, but I am hesitant on taking off the backpocket off my APC

That reminds me of Dior Hommes' "love wound" shirt.

I dunno, I'm not a fan of the contrasting color. I understand that something dripping in denim-stitch-orange might look weird, but I think I'd prefer it.

Very nice idea, though.

It is a picture by Omar Rayyan. He does commissions for childrens' book illustrations. In the vein of Edmund Dulac I suppose.

I like it, I think it would look better with a third even longer one to the right.
