Thanks! Yes, I think I have to remove that rubber part; will have to cut it out somehow. I also noticed on the inside of the shoe, there's a removable metal plate with holes. I think I'm going to...

Hi Everyone!

It's been so long since I posted! I feel like a schmuck. But I know whenever I need help with something, you ladies have been so awesome!

My cycling shoes finally fell apart, and I...

WOW! Thanks so much, you guys! I guess 20-something years of sewing does pay off every so often (well, since it is what I do for a living, it pays off for me more often than not!) Just so you guys...

Thanks SO much, ladies! I wore it out this afternoon...no wind got through it at ALL! It really wicked moisture very well, too. I knew that I had to be perspiring, but I did not feel moisture on my...

Yes, I got it done, and it was quite easy and went really quick. Some changes I made were: getting rid of the front zippered pockets, adding reflective piping, adding more topstitching, and...

>>Suggestion. I would really test out that flat lock before you commit to it. I've rarely seen a flatlock done on a home serger that looks great and can take the abuse that outerwear gets. Now, if...

Thanks SO much, Irulan! Yes, I do agree that lining this jacket would most certainly be overkill. In the photos, you can see the softshell outer layer, and the yummy fleecy lining. You can also see...

Thanks ladies! And Bethany, I am a clothing designer, so I do sew a LOT...haha! However, I don't do a lot of outerwear. It's a completely different beast sometimes, with the extra notions, hardware,...

I think my climate might be similar to yours...do you find that the wind gets through the merino knit? I'm worried about windproofing. I'd love to just wear wool, but what about down to 32 degrees...

I'm wondering if you ladies could possibly help me. I have my fabric for a windproof riding coat and tights, as there was just NO WAY I was going to be able to spend over $350 for cold weather gear...

I have a Brooks Honey-colored Flyer S on my black and white Jamis. The handlebar tape on was a tan cork-color, so I thought the honey would at least blend well with it. And it does...and just like...

Sorry I missed weighing in! I'm at 215 now. I didn't get to my 199 goal, but losing ten pounds since July isn't anything I'll sneeze at!

Looking forward to the next challenge!

Very true. I'm a fiber artist, and while dyeing polyester fibers can be done at home, the fumes are HORRIBLE. Nylon can be dyed easily using acid dyes (they sound worse than they really are!), and...

I had my surgery today...am feeling GREAT, by the way! I was weighed this morning before surgery and was:

217 lbs. Woohoooo!!

I love those kinds of places! So yeah, I'm a "wool weenie" too...and I really want to design a cycling sweater to-die-for!

Bottom line: wool is an AMAZING fiber. There is nothing like it,...

OMG, this is tooooo funny!!!! I say this only because I am a fiber artist, and I am SURROUNDED by WOOL every single day! It's not like you ladies are talking about, though...it's raw, unprocessed...

WOW!! 5 pound fibroid!!!! I'm having an ablation on the 22nd...is this what you had? I'm wondering how much "weight" will be removed...and if the tumors are removed in an ablation? I have info on it,...

I've fallen in LOVE with skorts this year as well! However, my budget being the tight way that it is, I have to buy the cheapies. Target had one from Champion, and I'm really enjoying it. It's a bit...

Weight today is 218. This bouncing around is driving me nuts. Hopefully the ablation for my fibroid issue might get my body a bit back in balance...

Not too much TMI at all! What a horrible thing to go through! I know my mother had bleeding like this, too. She had a D&C done, but it didn't help her much at all. Luckily, my bleeding isn't nearly...

Good luck, hon! They told me my uterus was "full of tumors", and made it all sound like it's the most normal thing in the world. But the doc did say it was the most common cause of hysterectomies....

My thoughts and prayers are with you, hon...I'm so sorry about your sister...

((((hugs))))

BEEEYYOUUTEEFUL!! Gorgeous bike!

Great idea, Kirsten! My biggest problem is with jersey fit. Now, obviously I know that as a plus size gal, I'm going to have some trouble. But I'm kind of "borderline" right now between regular sizes...

That is SO good to hear! The bleeding has been a nuisance, yes, and it's great to hear that the ablations are working for some women. My doc is one of those that "poo-poo's" the ablation, thinking I...
