This is all cotton. It's a quilting fabric so it's a little thick for a shirt, but that works fine for men's wear

If you have the resources, you can check out Lap of Love and see if they serve your area. They come to where you live so your friend can have a peaceful euthanasia with your company. I favored this option because it allowed my other dog to smell my boys body before it was taken to the crematorium. She tends to be dense, but she could immediately tell he was gone. I really think this helped her grieving process compared to him not being around suddenly.

Euthanasia is the hardest, most loving thing we can do for a companion who is nearing their end.

Thanks! The pattern is "Jensen Shirt" from Wardrobe By Me

It's a fantastic pattern, and does a great job (imo) of illustrating collar construction.

Yeah, I'm just split between that or an odroid hc4. I wouldn't even need to buy a case for it.

What model pi? How responsive do you find it?

I'm also in the market for this.

I'm considering setting up a raspberry pi4 nas, and would love to hear pros and cons from people with experience on the matter.

I assume there are faster solutions, but I think it should meet my needs well

Unfortunately, many of us have to jump into a given role and learn the hard way whether it fits us. As an example, I never intended to go into SQA, I just fell into the role. Turns out I love it.

Stumbling into your career is inelegant, imprecise, and frustrating though.

In spite of that sometimes experience is the best teacher whether we like it or not. Good luck out there

I've been in QA for 12 years, and it can be great if you want to innovate (test automation) while also sometimes doing manual work (manual test) to punctuate hard thinking sessions.

I'm not diagnosed as neurodivergent(and strongly suspect I may have ADHD) but do I have a lot of ND coworkers in dev and QA.

This really comes down to choosing for what your ND needs. Spend some time getting to know your brain and it's particular needs. Identify what you want vs what you need.

Good luck on finding your way

In my opinion, if you are interested you should.

It's very satisfying to wear a shirt that you created and that no one else can even own because you made it. Just make sure you watch some tutorial videos and don't let fear of failure get the best of you

If you are worried about losing the fabrics value from messing up, consider picking up some super cheap cotton muslin to practice on. Near me it is as low as $5 a yard, So a practice shirt could be 10 to $15 worth of muslin

To be completely honest, I have no idea how many man hours this one took.

In general, I can complete this pattern with cotton fabric in a couple days of hobby work, but this fabric is a bit slippery and I definitely spent twice as much time preparing everything to mitigate that. Plus this was my first time doing French seams

Wow thanks for such a verbose post.

That's given me a lot to chew on

You might be surprised at how well it can go with a well made pattern!

I like wardrobe by me's patterns (this one is their tropical shirt pattern).

A lot of their patterns also come with process videos as well
