I got a job! Fully remote, lovely people, interesting data. Moderate number of hoops to jump through. Starting this coming Tuesday!

I have had almost no brain or coordination for working on the Hawaiian shirt quilt. I've done a small amount of cross stitch (a Mill Hill Halloween piece). Even that has had the occasional screw-up and undo.

I've also been puttering with coloring and playing with washi tape in my bullet journal, as well as doing a bit of wardrobe design.

I'm frustrated that I can't find general resources on garment engineering(*), so I may need to write my own. Things like, how are drawstring pants affected by the material & dimensions of the drawstring; what are all these seams on my hiking pants for; how can I make XYZ garment with pockets that will hold a modern iPhone without skewing the entire garment, and so on. If anyone knows of a general resource, or even what the hell it's actually called, please let me know!

(*) What I'm thinking of is not what's called "garment engineering" in the industry. I'm interested in how to design individual garments to be comfortable and functional, plus the theory of what all the structural elements are and what they all do. I'm having a heck of a time googling for this.
