Sounds like a great paddle!

The techniques I described feel odd at first, but they become completely reflexive with a little time.

Will you make me some shorts too?

I will be going out again today, and will continue to work on those techniques.

Making you shorts would be a problem. 1) I am not that proficient at making shorts yet 2) I am presently short on time 3) I possess a peculiar eccentricity: I loathe gifting. I avoid the whole social process of give-and-take as though it were a mortal sin. It has nothing to do with you. Ask Eusahead, she will verify this peculiarity of mine.

Hmmm.... lyriclemon July 8 2006, 20:39:27 UTC

Too short on time to make shorts??? What about SHORT shorts? Or possibly SHORT SHORT shorts?

Go you!

Photos of your new creation?

uh_oh July 8 2006, 16:22:04 UTC

My first creation is not the great. I will take photos and share them to make a pair of shorts I think looks reasonably good. The first pair of shorts and made fit, but look weird around the waste and the fly. Still, I will share pictures of my first pair shorts when I have a better looking pair of shorts to also show for myself.

Cool! I'm looking forward to seeing your creations.

Wow! I want to see a picture of the shorts too! Do they have an elastic waistband, or a zipper, or what?

The shorts have snaps and a drawstring top. They looked really dorky around the fly and a drawstring. I will eventually share some pictures of it. I'm going to be making another pair this weekend. I've already cut out the fabric.

You are just the male version of my wonderful sister.....always trying new things and adventures. She is just my favorite person ever too :) I would love to see the shorts too.....I made some shorts many moons ago with boxers (dogs) all over them. Vogue I am not.

Boxer shorts??? lyriclemon July 5 2006, 19:57:44 UTC

That's it....no one ever accused me of high fashion lol :)

I have way too many boxer shorts. I have no need for boxer shorts. It's the shorts you wear over the boxers I am lacking.
