Two problems with that:

1. I don't have a sewing machine.
2. I don't know anyone who does have a sewing machine.

At least the pattern looks right, though.

Anyway, maybe by the time the RCU photo upload is working again, I'll have my solution. It's not helping that it's taking FOREVER for the dope to dry (6˚ C / 70% humidity). I put the last coat of dope (a 60/40 dope/thinner mix) on the threads 9 hours ago and it's still tacky.


Don, you live in a country that has the most tailor shops on the world.

I don't believe I have ever seen a single tailor shop in my 17 years in Japan. And for that matter, I couldn't tell you off hand, where to buy a sewing machine in my area. I've never seen them in any of the regular appliance shops. Still, they must exist. Now you have me curious!

Frankly, I think my wife would split my head open with an axe if she found out that I bought myself a sewing machine to make rib stitches for a model.

Your wife have not a sewing machine???,...ok.
Go to the tailor, 15 minutes work and everything is good.
That is not a big problem.

I'm going to take a break from RCU and from modeling.
