OK, @Anansi. You know I love you. But when I saw the words " iron the liner so that the fusible vinyl seals itself just inside the stitch line" I went right to my happy place. Which is: Key West, on the balcony of the Whistle Bar, drinking a cold one. Or, laying on the beach in Key West, reveling in the melanoma sun.

Sewing and ironing? Not in my vocabulary, lol. There is nothing (NOTHING) I hate, more than to sew. Which is probably why I detested doing surgery so bad when I was a vet.

How much do you sell a bantam sized, Mille-Fleur-shaped one of those? Cuz I think I may just have to pull the trigger and buy one. They are sheer CrazyChickenLady works of art.

Momma, the harness parry isn't all that hard, the pouch is easy as well, you just have to iron the liner so that the fusible vinyl seals itself just inside the stitch line, otherwise the laid from the poo will soak through. The vinyl also makes it a little more stiff than the ones online, but I couldn't find a lightweight waterproof fabric that would work. The best part is, you only need one harness, and a some pouches, and you are set. It's all machine washable, cuts down on layers, and to change the diaper, you just unsnap the one and snap another on, you don't have to wrangle the bird into a whole new contraption. The drawstring allows it to sit on the breastbone and out of the way of the crop, and the breast piece is measured so that it extends just below the breast bone so that the ring for the pouch to snap around is on soft tissue for comfort. The back piece is measured to sit from the wing joint and the d ring for the pouch is 2 inches above the tail. The drawstring is sewn into the breast piece, and allows for proper fitting, as well as going between the upper curve of the wing and the back to help it stay on better. I picked up quilting fat quarters for the pouches, and used scrap fabric for the liner. I love it, you can get as fancy, Chile coordinate, and just have fun with it. I did think about making them to sell, but I have to many other things I have to work on for the DDs. Besides, I'd rather make things for people who are important to me, rather than trying to fill orders and have expected delivery times. I'm also like smuvey, I bounce around with hobbies.

Eta, I can make the harness to fit several different sizes of chickens add long as measurements between smallest and largest are no more than 3 inches difference. Seramas would be the hardest I think, and for adjustable harness, I'd probably end up using Velcro. It would require half size pouches as well.

I can give you the instructions for the whole thing, and you can get creative with different materials and trim... and have fun. You could even sell them if you wanted, it wouldn't bother me one bit.

ETA: Oh, poop, I just read the part where you sad you don't sell them. My bad, I will just worship from afar. :bow

Guys, I would not do that to you! I may be a jerk sometimes, but I'm not a dick! I purposely did not listen to the radio or look at anything online all day until I was able to watch it last night (except my email and BYC) because I had to have that full out, cathartic, ugly-crying sobfest of an experience all to myself.

I found out inadvertantly what happened on the TWD mid-season finale ('cause of online-spoiling-dicks) before I was able to watch it, and it pretty much killed me.

@apryl29 the meat does not get refrigerated, ever. That brings on moisture, which then ruins the cure. Also, hells YES I plan on keeping the bone(s) for soup. Probably gonna have to hack the bone down into pieces... and they will stay with me forEVAHHHHHH

Yes, Precious. Perhaps you can make a Ham Woman Suit out of it, or something.:lau :oops:

(Go 'head, slap away. I'm gonna go watch Silence of the Lambs now for the 40th time, and just get it out of my system).

Ohhh you'd said it was coming to room temp so I assumed it'd been in the fridge. That'll make it easier to store. How are you protecting it from the animals? Razor wire?

Our oldest, WhineyButt, never liked anything... up until the PIC was born... then she figured out she liked bacon..... so weird....

Ocean likes everything it seems, and Thunder... well, he hasn't taken to any of the treats we give the girls.... so, when we pass out treats, we put a couple of pieces of regular cat food in front of him and he eats it like a treat.... strange cats.....

Good morning, sweet @rjohns39. I am doing a whole lot better since I watched that "Lotion" video, lol.

Seriously, though? I'm hanging in there. Tough times. I'm going back to see my old therapist tomorrow, to talk some of this stuff out. No shame in my game, ha! Sometimes you gotta get some extra help....

If I lived close -we could ask for a group rate.
No shame.
You just keep talking til they get up and open the door.:hugs:hugs
