Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: No question today.


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

I have sewed elastic on the sides of some casual shorts that I have had for twenty-five years. The original elastic on them held up admirably for that length of time but no longer gives any assurance that the shorts will remain up once put on.

It's a very rough elastic job but these are my comfy shorts: solid cotton, loose fit, half-thigh length, with enough space for my waist which has slowly expanded over the last two decades, and voluminous pockets to boot.

They have served me summer after summer after summer, and I will wear them until they come apart at the seams and fall off my butt. And then I will probably find someone who can make me another one exactly like it.

Those sound like awesome shorts! May they last as long as you do.

Long live the summer shorts!
