I like to restore things and keep using them.

Cheapskate, frugality, SDGs, etc., are outside my scope.

I am simply a pervert who likes to DIY, likes to restore but is a pain in the ass, and takes pleasure in extending the lifetime of things.

Yesterday, I also did a DIY haircut (self-cut).

And as a result, I have three bald spots on my head, which I consider positive.

If someone thinks, "Ebata got alopecia due to excessive work stress → if we don't reduce Ebata's workload, he will become 'depressed' again" (*), or something.

(*'Depression' is a harrowing disease; I shouldn't write this in jest (although I do).)

That aside.

Yesterday, I was on Amazon researching sewing machines.

I was thinking of buying a cheap sewing machine, as there seem to be some available these days for around 5,000 yen.

I use "wood bond" to attach everything to extend the lifetime of my jeans.

However, the other day, my jeans broke to an extent that this was difficult.

It was a rupture, where "throw-away" would generally be the only choice -- but then, I felt like I was "lost" by something.

So I was learning about sewing machines on YouTube, setting up upper and lower threads, tensioning the threads, operating the sewing machine, etc. I was almost dazzled by what I was seeing.

I have found, at least, that sewing machines are not something you can start with the "start button."

This broke my heart.

I wish that sewing machines had been taught in this "wiring study" as well.

When connected to a PC via USB, a CAD screen appears, and when a blueprint is input, the sewing machine starts working independently. However, such sewing machines do not seem to exist yet.

For now, I will wait for the arrival of the "PC-compatible USB sewing machine" while painting sections of my jeans with wood glue.
