That would be one hell of an Alabama tar paper shack.

I heart the johnson motors Henley, NA.

That Johnson Motors Henley was the one thing I saw in that that I could totally see as a wardrobe staple, if it's a small or medium, and you decide to ever get rid of it, lmk.

My aunt buys ****** ties by the hundreds organizes them into colors. She takes 5 of them and sews them into small handbags which she sells (well) at craft shows for $50-$60 a pop.

Oddly enough, it's actually been done many, many times. I had a group of old ladies who would buy my reject ties for $1 each. It was an amazing deal while it lasted. I was paying $.25 for them in bulk from a local charity thrift. Then making $.75 profit per tie (usually in groups of 100-200 per transaction). It was a win-win for all parties involved. Then, they started working exclusively with wool and fucked up the economy...

My mom made one out of silk ties. Just the top - the backing was some other fabric. Said it was a huge pain - ironing out the folds, trimming them down to usable pieces due to how the silk had to be sewn. Then she gave it to her sister before I saw the finished product.

I wish I had the sewing talent to do a quilt like that. Super cool. Even have a decent sewing machine!

Shoulda never let weezy in on that song. Jesus his verse is horrible...




Anyone know the story behind these shirts? Didn't think I was going to pay $15 for it, but it seemed well made so I did an ebay search in the store. Turns out these things sell for like 60-80% of their retail value used. I just want to know why. Their website doesn't tell me much.

Takai, Im sure.

I am more of a full leather hide on the bed for winter type person. Either that, or Native american blankets.

I'm pretty sure this is a thing? I always forget. Staple navy blue crew neck sweater. No other tags but feels like wool.
