  1. hey sufu peeps,

     

    i recently started working on repair jeans using a Singer 47w70 darning machine. I am trying to hone my skills in so if anyone has any pairs that need repairs please PM me and we can work something out. I am offering my services for FREE while I'm trying to improve myself. I use indigo rope dyed threads also with different natural, cream, white threads for the weft fill. I can add rivets and buttons if needed. The only thing I am asking is for jeans to freshly laundered and obviously you will have to pay for shipping both ways. I also can hem jeans too using a Union Special 43200g if interested too. 

     

    I am based out of NYC zip code 11385 if you want to check shipping rates. I look forward to hearing for people.

     

    Thanks,

    John

    Can you do crotch blowouts?

    Also, how long have you been doing this?

  2. Kicked most of my depression/anxiety this year

    Got my grades back up for my uni emphasis area/ picked up a fine arts photo minor

    Taking a social justice class and English class focused on Fitzgerald w/ reporting and photo classes next semester

    Gotten rid of most of the shit i owned and didnt want/ need

    :-)

    Next is to find a job cooking at a nice restauramt

  3. Pretty much everything is bike friendly. OGs are the toughest to pull off casually, though. If you have the time, order one pair and try them on, then send them back and order the next pair to try on. They offer free returns so you can make sure you get the one you like best. Or if you have the money laying around, just order both and send back the one you don't like.

    I was hoping to get a pair second hand but I'll probably just end up buying a new pair and doing this.

     

    Generally which pairs are the least slim?  It sounds like from wrong guy's post future works are what I want to look into

  4. on a separate more holistic note:

     

    I came across getting things done a couple years ago in undergrad and for a young jawnz it was revolutionary.  

    http://www.43folders.com/2004/09/08/getting-started-with-getting-things-done

     

    I got knee-deep into that hole and to this day I have a bisley file cabinet (in helmut orange)  that has all of my paper documents arranged alphabetically and with a label-maker next to my desk, and a paper-in, paper-out inbox/outbox. 

     

    Electronically I use Dropbox & amazon S3, and notational velocity*/things/evernote are often used to sync up everything from shopping lists to etc.  *Side note: notational velocity is one of the best programs I've ever used, just really lightweight and does one thing, but it does that one thing extremely well.

     

    I came across GTD2.0, aka bullet journal (http://www.bulletjournal.com/) which basically has GTD-like system nomenclature in a more streamlined fashion w/o the extra 'holistic david allen hand-wavey' kind of stuff that amazed the tech crowd back in 2006. Really useful and I've got my pocket notebook (moleskine, natch) always near me.  

     

    I spend a lot of time on public transit, and to use the most of my time I either have PDFs to read, or whatever I'm studying at the time as part of my Anki (http://fluent-forever.com/the-method/spaced-repetition/)

     flashcard deck for review. It's great to be productive flipping through flashcards en queue or in line at the supermart. 

     

    Finally – mindful meditation is one of those things that helped my brain calm down over the years; just being aware of what's going on instead of being too anxious/worried/depressed about everything. 

     

    Oh, and I use elsa shelving for the walk-in closet. Keeps my underwear organized from fun to conservative. (10)

    I've been researching organizing all of my files and notes and looking at Evernote and Notational Velocity. Are you using both together?

  5. If I'm looking for something that I can bike in every day (in the rain too) are the OG's probably my best bet? Climbers look cool but I'm worried they would be too slim for me. I've got pretty large legs

  6. X-posted from super living. Anyone have recommendations on a good closet organization system so I can get rid of my dresser.

     

    I think I might just get some of the Ikea expedite shelving for my books, camera stuff and daily clothes and then get some shelves in my closet.

     

    What else have you guys found helps utilize space?

     

     

    Pretty general/dumb question, but does anyone have suggestions for a small bedroom?  I moved into a space for school and my rooms extremely tiny but also has a pretty ridiculous layout.  I've looked around for inspiration on apartment therapy and in this thread and have a few ideas. 

     

    I know I definitely want to try to find some bookshelves that I can hang on my wall to utilize floor space and a bike rack to get my bike on the wall. I'm also trying to work on organization more so I can get rid of my dresser.  Anyone have good solutions they're using that they like?  I've been working on living more minimalist and getting rid of a lot of stuff I don't need and found some good ideas browsing superorganized.

     

    Luckily I've got a bit of money i can use towards furniture and I'll probably take a look at getting a small desk and some storage from Ikea.  I know a lot of people seem to like the expedite shelves which might be a good idea for storage.  

     

    This is a poorly done blueprint of my layout just to give an idea of what this room looks like.

  7. Not too sure on max budget. Probably around a grand.

     

    I've been meeting a couple other people who ride in town as well.  To be honest, I'm a bit intimidated with cycling but now that I've done a few longer fixed rides I feel a bit more confident.

     

    Hopefully one of the local shops sells used.

  9. I guess this isn't exclusive to denim, but any recommendations on a solid sewing set? I want to teach myself to fix most of my clothing repairs to save money but I'm not sure the best place to start
