DAE think adding more seam sealer was just a sales pitch?

I always thought putting extra seam sealer on carpets was just a way to sell more product, you know? But last month, I did a job in a basement that gets damp, and the seams I sealed heavy are still perfect. The ones I did light on another job last year started to fray after a few months. It hit me that moisture really does sneak in there. Now I don't cut corners with it, even on dry rooms. It's one of those things you learn the hard way, I guess.

I skipped adding pictures to my bujo, but a friend's visual log caught my eye.

Actually I'm the opposite of @patp79 on this. For me, seeing the real, physical result (like a finished deck) beats any photo. The pictures never really show the whole story anyway.

My take on corsets did a full 180 after sewing for a period play

My theater costume days totally changed how I sew now. I had to reinforce a bunch of flannel shirts for a show and used corset techniques on the inside seams. It kept them from stretching out weirdly on stage. That trick is now my go-to for making loose linen shirts actually hold their shape without being stiff.
