G'day all,
I've made a quick vid. of my hand sewn butt seams, using 'Apron Cam.'
![wink and a smile :wink_smile:](./images/smilies/wink_and_a_smile.gif)
I'm still stuck with the hamstrung iMovie, so all narration had to be done while filming, which was a bit distracting at times for me. And I picked up, for a few dollars at an Op Shop (think Thrift Shop in the U.S.), one of those tiny, bendy, Gorilla Pod style tripods, with which I can stick one leg down the front of my apron, and have the other two legs as stabilisers and mount my iPod just in front of my mouth for filming (hence the, loud enough but, sort of whispered tones of my voice). Life over the last couple of years hasn't been conducive to high output of shoemaking, so my butt seaming is a little rusty in it's parallelism of the two rows of stitches, but at least it seems that getting the depth right is a bit like riding a bike.
Hope you enjoy it.
Cheers
Duncan
P.S. as you can see, I have no objection to using small, fine, pig's bristles. If you are a user of bristles for inseaming and welts, and you don't use the finer ones, lets talk. I am hoping to be doing finer and finer sewing as time goes on.
