These are incredible for hiking, hunting, etc

One alone won't be able to do much but if you need to connect a few people in a rural area it's amazing.

My only hope is that waterproof models become more available

If OP is attempting a 3-2-1 Backup scheme, this is an irrelevant argument.

OP wants to store a backup in a different physical location while trusting that it won't be used to train AI. They are looking for services that can satisfy that.

Blue light has a documented effect on our circadian rhythm and melatonin production. It's been studied quite a bit. I'm sure mental overstimulation is a component, but it absolutely is not the whole story.

In Western society, there is a big focus on silver bullet solutions because people don't want to address issues in a holistic way. Thus, you have blue light filters instead of turning the screen off.

Of course a 6" screen doesn't produce as much as a ball of nuclear fire

But that ball of fire isn't 12 inches from your face at midnight. And, the majority of blue light filter use is targeting sleep quality. A good portion of this comes down to cumulative exposure time. The best solution is to just not look at screens after a certain hour, but no one wants to do that.

The biggest thing is to not be afraid of mistakes in my opinion. You will learn more about how constructions go together by doing them, making mistakes, reevaluating your mental model, and fixing those mistakes than you will by paralyzing yourself with fear.

Find a reasonable first pattern and make it several times. Then find a second pattern that takes skills from the first and adds others. In this way, you grow your skill set to accomplish the things you want to do.

Once you reach that point, try different materials. Learn about how different materials need to be finished, and use that knowledge to modify the patterns you already know. French seams are an excellent tool for this.

At this point, the world is your oyster. I'm currently working my way through a few new patterns, and a wild variety of fabrics. It's very satisfying, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I am.

This was my fourth shirt, but I recently posted my ninth. I've come a long way, and I still make a bunch of little dumb mistakes. It's fine, it has never ruined one of my shirts.

Oh and one more thing! When you buy a pattern many will be printed on tissue paper, and will have the lines printed for ever available size. It's expensive, but I have grown to love swedish tracing paper. It's not actually "paper", and the idea is that you trace your intended size lines of a pattern onto it, cut the panels out of the swedish tracing paper, and now you have a more durable way to repeat the exact same sewing pattern with whatever fabric you find yourself with. By doing this, you can keep the purchased tissue pattern as an archive. Maybe you need to retrace something eventually, or maybe you want to make the same thing in a different size one day. Regardless of why, you can't do that if you cut your intended size out of the tissue pattern.

Especially for those of us who run hot!

Sometimes you just gotta have clothing that feels like an illusion to survive the ever-growing heat. I find myself particularly enjoying rayon, which often feels actively cool when I wear it.

This rayon linen blend is like something out of a book for me, though. It may end up being my new favorite fabric

As an aside, this was the most difficult shirt I've made yet easily. I attribute this to two factors:

• The fabric having such a fluid drape is crazy. It's like trying to stitch water together sometimes.
• I have come to dislike fusible interfacing because of the puckered texture it often gets during washing. This uses a Pellon branded sew in interfacing, and is my first time using such interfacing. It worked amazingly well, but was an adjustment for sure.

Ultimately I intend to ask my fabric store more about this particular fabric and what other colors it may be available in. It's just so glorious to wear.

I play disc golf.

Sometimes finding my disc is a safari

Thanks!

It's been very satisfying getting better at these and occasionally wearing them into fabric stores.

The ladies running the stores are always taken aback when they realize I'm wearing my own work

The answer to your question is yes

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
