feeling lonely out here recently, Tilmann?  despair no more,  my forumite friend__ i’m back on the saddle again!  

yea, wasn’t feeling the Yamatos since they’ve gone too loose for me.  i’ve lost 8 lbs + the denim stretched back out to pre-soak measurements @top block.  i was planning on throwing in the towel, but, instead, i threw ‘em in for a hot tumble + a bit of “creative” sewing, & voila!.
