Women are fascinated by men who can sew....
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.
"Bless you child, when you set out to thread a needle don't hold the thread still and fetch the needle up to it; hold the needle still and poke the thread at it; that's the way a woman most always does, but a man always does t'other way."

HAAAAhahAhahaahahaha!!
Don't know why that struck me so funny, it might be too close to home!
And, Caleath, the "I am well rounded" story is the one I'm sticking with. I shoot well, cook decently, can build stuff in wood or metal, can diaper a baby, plan a defense, argue logical positions, teach people how to use a computer, survive in the wild, discuss history/religion/space travel/geography. Now I can sew too. Specialization is for insects!

ha... um... crap... I do that too... The ladies at Joann's know me now... hmm... so do the ladies at 2 independant fabric stores... Found some 72" wide ripstop the other day at one!
of course, my wife thinks I'm nuts!

Luv it. Hancock lady calls me Hammock dude now, she'll actually take me to the clearance bin if she knows some good Ripstop or Camo is lurking. She still doesn't understand my fascination with Guttermans, but she accepts that I have to use JoAnnes for that.
Lotsa tent makers in the Bible, and all of them were dudes. If they had amsteel back then, they'd have been Hammock Makers.

Just wait until the girls start asking you to make them dresses, costumes and stuff.... you will not regret your decision when you you find your self in some 'delicate areas' needed for a proper 'fit'.
My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
If you get jazzed doing a fitting you are not fitting.... I hear the TSA has openings...
