Ha! I sew in my underwear sometimes --it makes it easy to try on what I'm making, so I guess there are probably people who sew naked (or avoid sewing as Claire said).
Sitting at my desk at work. Exhausted. Stressed. Worrying if the dress I made to wear to my DD's wedding tomorrow night is going to look Becky Home-ecky, pissed off that I have to wear heels to the wedding and wondering if anyone will notice if I ditch the heels and wear something more comfortable at the reception. Opened Peter's blog and YOWZA! Thanks Peter. I needed this one. Mermie
I nearly lost my tea when I was reading my feed reader. Thank you for that, but we love you with your clothes on too..... We don't require gratuitous clothes removal to keep us interested in your blog. :) What would Cathy think? Um.... Just sew the danged suit.
Funny!!! You should start a Flikr group where we can all post such photos after we complete Peter's Personal Self-Confidence Correspondence Course. Thank you like Mermie I needed this one... Susannah
Ha, Ha, Debbie! I'm a little older than you and saw that issue in the drug store, where all red blooded Americans peruse their literature. :-) My mother wouldn't have dreamed of having it around...that I know of...Hmmmm...
And, Peter, this is classic sewing avoidance. You knew that before you posted ;-)
I'd say that treadle has bewitched you . . . how did we get from hair canvas to this? At any rate, I'm grinning from ear to ear. You know how to brighten the day. Cheers!
Love it. You made me snort in a very unladylike manner. I just knew that something like this was going to show up one day after those posts entitled Sexy Sexy Sexy and Can you see my butt crack? appeared...
This is awesome. I would hang this photo of you in my sewing room. Oh, and Marc Jacobs earned that ad campaign! I remember when he was fat and homeboy has put in serious WORK! I heart him. (and you!)
Oh Good Heavens. (wipes tears of laughter from eyes). You must be careful, you've given my husband a complex; he feels inadequate because he can't match your equipment. I haven't sewed for years, although it's on my quality of life list of changes to make. In the meantime I am a voyeur (now in more senses than one) on sewing blogs -- well, not quite like yours, since yours is inimitable. Love your approach to sewing and the world.
I'm a native New Yorker and sewing fanatic! I started sewing in 2009 and today make all my own clothes using vintage sewing machines and vintage patterns, in addition to sewing for private clients. Welcome to the warm and whimsical world of Male Pattern Boldness, where the conversation is sewing, style, fashion, fabric, and more!

ReplyDeleteGives a whole new meaning to "flywheel"...
ReplyDeleteAWESOME! Thanks for the early morning giggle. I about fell off my chair! :)
ReplyDeleteSnort! I think this needs to be your new blog header pic. Oh, and my mom had that issue of Cosmo, back when I was about 11 or 12. I loved it! LOL!

ReplyDelete"HARYB"???? What is Haryb?
ReplyDeleteSnort! guffaw! I love it! Apparently there are no splinters in your sewing table, that's good to know.
ReplyDeleteHa! Love! I hope that magnet option wasn't just an empty threat...this is what Zazzle was born to do.
ReplyDeleteThey're what the machine is in front of??
ReplyDeleteThe window? ;)
ReplyDeleteDebbie, this is FAMILY blog, por favor.
ReplyDeleteunfortunately, my seven-year-old was sitting on my lap when I clicked past the cut. My bad. Other than that---Hilarious!
ReplyDeletehilarious and full of win.
ReplyDeleteYes. Haryb is Swahili for window. But hmmm .... Aren't "windows" how families start? ;-)

HILARIOUS!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo this is what you actually meant when you said play with your "treadle" on your video.....
ReplyDeleteFunny!!! You should start a Flikr group where we can all post such photos after we complete Peter's Personal Self-Confidence Correspondence Course. Thank you like Mermie I needed this one...

Ha, Ha, Debbie! I'm a little older than you and saw that issue in the drug store, where all red blooded Americans peruse their literature. :-) My mother wouldn't have dreamed of having it around...that I know of...Hmmmm...
ReplyDeleteAnd, Peter, this is classic sewing avoidance. You knew that before you posted ;-)
so funny!!! Thanks for the "giggle"...I'm at work and truly needed it!!! and yeah, I'm old enough to remember Burt's centerfold....aahh.
ReplyDeleteI'd say that treadle has bewitched you . . . how did we get from hair canvas to this? At any rate, I'm grinning from ear to ear. You know how to brighten the day. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteWHERE CAN I ORDER A POSTER SIZE VERSION????
ReplyDeletePlaying with your treadle again Peter? LOL you are too funny! I do agree with the other posters ... avoiding that jacket aren't you?
ReplyDeleteI'M WITH GERTIE! Or this needs to be one of twelve in a Calender!
ReplyDeleteWho knew sewing blogs could be R rated? And my kids think this stuff is dull. Au contraire :)
ReplyDeleteWhat will you do next to avoid sewing that jacket?
Heather, I DO own 12 sewing machines... ;)
ReplyDeleteLHC: Ironing, ironing, ironing. :(
That's just hilarious and yeah.. I like that calendar idea.. :D
ReplyDeleteThe things people do to get people to read their blogs...lol
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Gertie and Heather! A calender or poster, pleasepleaseplease!
ReplyDeleteThis has been one of the highlights of my day. :)
ReplyDeleteROFL... BEST. POST. EVER. Seriously, when will the calendar be available?
ReplyDeleteI know Fit For Real People says you should sew in your underwear ... but Peter haven't you taken it a step too far?!
ReplyDeletewatch that wheel!
ReplyDeleteIs naked sewing really such a good idea? It could lead to a very embarrassing injury and a lot of explaining at the hospital!
ReplyDelete*applauds* LOL! I see someone needs to sew something to avoid being nekkid.... ;)
ReplyDeleteIn the spirit of the Naked Chef ...
ReplyDelete(Click on pic to supersize) YOU are a HOOT!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I wondered why I had to set Kaspersky to "parent" to view your blog...
ReplyDeleteOh wow, too funny! I picked a great day to get caught up on blog reading :)
ReplyDeleteOh my, what a way to start the morning... you are a card!
ReplyDeleteThere are not words for this. I see now that you have finally become one with a sewing machine. May it give you much love in return dear.
ReplyDeleteUnderbart, det här var vågat.Swedish words
ReplyDeleteI try in english
Wonderful, how dare you? and that means
I love it.

Helén in Sweden
LOL. Be careful you don't do yourself a mischief!!
ReplyDeleteShall we start a "Men Who Sew" calendar???!!!
ReplyDeleteWho's with me on this?
By the way, I want another shot of you standing on the sewing end of the machine next time!!
i don't know where to start ... does this mean i can say we've been intimate? or ... no, i'll just apologise now before i do myself a mischief. LOL
ReplyDeleteOh my! The boyfriend fussed at me for looking at this. I said it's a sewing blog!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love it! Though my kids were in the room, so I had to scroll past real quick! I like sewsister's calendar idea ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe must protect the children! LOL
ReplyDelete(Stares wide eyed at screen while gulping more coffee...must have more coffee...)
ReplyDeleteIs that a window with no blinds or curtains behind you? Your neighbors must LOVE you! :)
Shades, shades! What do you think I am, an exhibitionist? ;)
ReplyDeleteLove it. You made me snort in a very unladylike manner.
ReplyDeleteI just knew that something like this was going to show up one day after those posts entitled Sexy Sexy Sexy and Can you see my butt crack? appeared...
Peter, I think that is the perfect outfit for your high school reunion.
ReplyDeleteI heart you.
This is awesome. I would hang this photo of you in my sewing room. Oh, and Marc Jacobs earned that ad campaign! I remember when he was fat and homeboy has put in serious WORK! I heart him. (and you!)
ReplyDeleteWasn't it MICHAEL'S birthday suit that was Priority One this week?????
ReplyDeleteWell..I *did* say I like my men "au naturale" on your Make-up post...but somehow this wasn't what I had in mind ;)
ReplyDeleteYou have always offered inspiration. Today you have given me EXTRA inspiration!
ReplyDeleteOh Good Heavens. (wipes tears of laughter from eyes). You must be careful, you've given my husband a complex; he feels inadequate because he can't match your equipment.
