The ED staff didnt know what shot defects in an arm looked like.

Point: After someone is cleaned up and photographed they and their wounds look differently than they do in the hospital. Ive processed so many other unalivings at hospitals where the wounds look different under the lights of the morgue.

Right? It was such a lucky find and I was luckier that I had enough fabric left for it.

Thanks. Im on vacation starting tomorrow so lets catch up over the weekend if you can.

Im fucking trained in this and Im technically not qualified on scenes to give definitive answers as to entrance and exit wounds. In the head the only way to tell is to look at the beveling on the bone.

Point 3) A fucking ENT doing a trach isnt qualified to determine whether a defect is an entrance or exit wound. They are really fucking hard to tell in tissue unless its a close contact and there is searing around the edges.

Point 2) talking to regular people in a plaza off a highway with tall buildings around isnt an acoustic analysis. Gunshots are notorious for sounding like they came from all different directions.

Point 1) dude says after they show the famous video: "We cant see where the first or second shot hits, just the first." Asshole, you can literally watch the president pull his fists up to his throat when he is first hit. Right there. In the video.

I didnt have enough fabric to match all the patterns. I never tuck anything into pants unless Im at work so I dont really care.

When i cut out the waistband I wasnt paying attention and cut them all folded over. I cut 2 pieces of each and ended up with way too many waistbands as the front has a left and right. But i have enough fabric left now that if i want to add fancy cuffs i can.

I resewed the side seams again. The pants are now together.
November 26, 2025 at 1:34 PM
I sewed the felled seams using a decorative stitch and I wish i had used a straight stitch. But they are done.
November 26, 2025 at 1:34 PM
I also remembered you cant really do felled seams after sewing the other seams. So i took the seams out and removed the pockets
November 26, 2025 at 1:34 PM
I made french seams on the sides and hated them for the bulk. So i took them apart, overlocked the edges and resewed them. But then really hated the pockets.
November 26, 2025 at 1:34 PM
So i remade them out of plaid and hated them too. They were only big enough for my fingers and I had to french seam them because of the fraying and they were bulky.
November 26, 2025 at 1:34 PM
I ironed the pockets and the iron threw up on one. Then I hated the satin as pockets

I havent felt like posting about these because Ive been cranky. But i have been working on them.
