Okay, sewing another pair of Japanese selvedge jeans. Will post pictures later on here. Not enough denim left for the waistband (which is very long). I suppose I could sew two strips together to make a longer piece, and just center the middle on the joined piece on the rear of the pants. 🤔

Maybe I will rummage around the scraps I got first to see if there's a long denim strip.
Answer: YES! Whew.
@ai6yr My friend who sews for a living (everything: Suits of every fabric, wedding dresses, kids costumes, tents…upholstery… etc) she saves every scrap… EVERY scrap in bags. When she makes stuffed toys or pillows for kids that have allergies, she stuffs them with that scrap collection. I know you don’t like to waste anything. Just a thought.
ps. Not watching or stressing about politics, because, I voted, exerted efforts beforehand elsewhere, and using any energy tonight on stress or elation or whatever is wasted, as none of that will affect any outcome tonight.
(energy to be spent in the future, depending on what happens or does not happen as a result of elections, of course. Cross that bridge when we get there. Winning elections is one thing; effectiveness after an election is another, and there's a heck of a lot of stuff that needs to be corrected, if even possible... and I don't trust the People In Charge will give up any power no matter what happens)
Also why I am a terrible sports fan: I can't muster up enough interest in if one team or another wins, because I have zero impact on who wins, don't have any investment in who wins, and frankly don't really think the billionaire sports owners need any more money, lol.
@ai6yr I used to love sports but the billionaire owners and the lack of regard for the athletes themselves .... meh
First piece of denim and my pattern from the original (was used as my prototype for fitting) #sewing
