    Ronald the lucky guy!
    It also looks very good on you!
    One can sew, the other helps with the painting of the ship details,
    they have one thing in common:
    . . . . they are our wives with a good heart.

    Michel-C.

    Ps: my wife is asking, as she is not good at sewing, if a visit to you would get me something like this sewn? She liked your new outfit . . .
    if you don't ask, you won't get an answer!

    Roycv: Spraying starch on the cloth before marking out the shape seems like a very good idea. Idea duly nicked.

    Ronald I am humbled!! You have such a rare find. I was tolerated after our 2 children were born and we have a pecking order in the family.

    There are several cats and 2 dogs ahead of me and they are all dead! I just drop down the order as the next cat arrives.

    I am supposed to be the handyman for the things that break and in my spare time I make model boats.

    Knowing one's place is a fundamental part of life, but being happy with it is a matter of conjecture!

    Roy itโ€™s too bad you are not in the good graces, but my wife is a supporter of my work. She often extols my hobby to others and accompanies me to events. She photographs me and the boats going through their paces, talking to bystanders who wander by during our fun float events.

    The fellas enjoy having her at the events too and if she doesnโ€™t come along, they will come along to me asking โ€œwhereโ€™s your wife today?โ€

    So Roy, I am sure if you get that Honey Do List finished, she might come to one of your events too, especially if you name a boat after her!

    I have the Mrs.B and the Lady Cathy, and another with Catharine

    Wives are never impressed with our achievements, I am still working through areas where I was found wanting from 50 years ago. I will never catch up so just accept the inevitable, "Yes dear" covers most of it!

    I just tape cloth to the cutting table and tape the pattern to the cloth and start cutting. No? Sorta like my mother & sister did 50 years ago. Straight pin the pattern to the cloth and cut away

    Hi don't forget to spray starch on it to make it stiff for drawing on the template for the sails.
    All the best

    My wife helped me to buy cotton poplin today and she is pre-washing it before showing me how to use an old Singer sewing machine. I said, I wanted to make the sails this time. She said fine, but not on her good sewing machine!

    Watch for further results as I follow Gary Webbs clear instructions see on his video DIY Cotton Sails.
