We avoided cast iron for years out of fear that it’s hard to take care of. Bought one a few years back after reading @seriouseats care guide and haven’t looked back. Makes the *best* cornbread too! https://t.co/AnhFFlxeCQ


@skstock @HamiltonMusical Yayyy! Enjoy.


@jonoabroad I have a Lodge skillet. I think I got it at Peters of Kensington during a sale.

Starting a new project – another Simon Shirt from @freesewing_org for the Snook! Step 1 – forking a new version of the pattern, printing, and assembling the pieces. https://t.co/oiM4CKjTqZ

Step 4 – curse goddamn directional prints. 🤬


Step 5 – iron on interfacing. https://t.co/pLk1TgVX91


Step 6 – sew cuffs together. https://t.co/p2BxDcRkP9


Step 7 – sew collar. https://t.co/Fp1E9rTRt9


Step 8 – sandwich collar between collar stands, baste, sew, and turn out. https://t.co/Frv9vFqax3


Step 9 – sandwich back between yokes, sew, press, and edge stitch. I think I’ll stop there for the night! https://t.co/a9FgCM6a1P

@caitie You are so my style icon. (Did you lighten your hair??)


I had to read this three times before I believed it wasn’t an April Fools joke. Looks legit! Trying it out now. Thanks @Cloudflare. 🙂 https://t.co/oxSY13jP5M
