DVDs Came Late to the High-Def TV Party

You can now watch high-definition television on sets as cheap as $500, with plenty of programming from a variety of channels. But HDTV is missing from one crucial corner of the home-entertainment business -- the DVD. Companies are still developing and promoting two different, incompatible high-definition versions of the DVD, neither of which will have any consumer relevance (read: tolerable prices) until next year at the soonest.

How do I approach learning to sew by way of this very specific project?

I want to teach myself to sew by replicating this apron, probably many, many times. I bought the apron; what next?

After spending a lot of the past couple of months in a Bon Appétit rabbit hole (thanks MeFi!), I'm obsessed with this apron that seems to be favored by many of the presenters. Despite its ridiculous price, I went ahead and bought one as a bit of retail therapy.

Well, it arrived today and I loooooove it. I want to give them to all my friends and family, and I want ten of them hanging in my own pantry, but spending $5K on linen aprons from France isn't on the agenda.

So, no time like the present to merge this motivation with another long-standing goal, which is to get competent with my sewing machine, a Singer from... maybe the early '90s? It was given to me by a friend about ten years ago, and since then I have used it three times, always with a more experienced helper to thread the machine, help cut the pieces, etc. The last time it came out of the closet was at least four years ago, so please assume that I am starting from zero.

I have watched a fair amount of Project Runway, but despite that I do not really know where to begin :) This tutorial seems reasonable easy to follow to make a pattern, but... then what? Is there anything more to it than just trying and trying again, presuming I can't ask or hire anyone for help in the foreseeable future? What is the absolute cheapest fabric I can practice on that will help me not ruin the first few yards of linen that I (with luck) will ultimately graduate to? Can I just use reasonably-sized rags/old clothes from the basement?

Any general tips on learning to sew on your own as an adult are also welcome!

How unsafe is my apartment laundry room right now?

The one vector between me and total isolation is my apartment laundry room. Am I overestimating my risk?

I am in a better coronavirus situation than many. It's me and my three-year-old, and there is no other adult to fail to comply with the rules. I continue to get paid and am working from home. I do get occasional grocery delivery, but I do have enough stockpiled at this point that I don't have to do that very often and I could cut that out if I need to for the time being.

I am prone to anxiety, and in the past have fixated on small details as an outlet for this. For example, when my son was a baby I did a lot of reading about and see if sleeping situations and was extremely vigilant about his crib and its condition. My rational brain knows that the odds for such a thing to happen are remote. But it was something I could control and it gave me comfort to control it. I feel like this laundry situation might be the same thing.

I do feel nervous when we go outside but I'm careful to not touch anything and sanitize our hands as soon as we are outside. So I tell myself that's OK. But the laundry...there is no getting around it. It's a communal laundry room. It's making me crazy to the point I've contemplated moving.

To be fair, the last time I visited the laundry room was this morning. I went first thing in the morning and the only person I encountered was the super, and she was gloved and masked and in the process of cleaning the elevator buttons. I do think my building is taking the reasonable precautions. I guess I'm just not really clear on how big a vector this might be? Like, I could be terrifying myself over a strawman here?

So, talk me down from the ledge. We stay away from people, we wash our hands as soon as we come inside. Are we likely to have anything dire occur to us from our visit to the laundry room?

Family close but apart - are drive-bys just making it worse?

This is not a question about social distancing procedures as much as it is about the psychology of it.

We are a close-knit family living in four separate households in the same city. There are a few dozen cases in our metro area (under a million people). We are not seeing each other in person but we do weekly drive-bys where we stand under the balcony and wave while talking on the phone or shouting from the window. The kids seem to enjoy it mostly but I fear it might be confusing for them as well. Why can't auntie come in when she's already here? The toddler says solemnly, BECAUSE VIRUS, but I'm not sure how much he understands. He once told Grandma on the phone "Grammy is not coming cause she's angry with me".

I (the single aunt) work at a hospital so there is no way we can merge households (none of them really) and it looks like we have to be apart for who knows how long. Wouldn't it be psychologically healthier for the toddler and the other kids to just let the relationship slide for a while instead of maintaining this bitter-sweet balcony relationship? We do video calls but the small ones get bored easily. I'm okay with being more distant if it's better for them but I honestly just don't know. The parents so far are on the side of let's maintain as much (distant) contact as we can - if anything, I am the most paranoid one when it comes to contact precautions - but I'd like to make up my own mind. If we cannot see each other for at least a year does it make sense to maintain the closeness and how much of it? We were almost like one household in several apartments before the pandemic hit. Now we can't, BECAUSE VIRUS. I wonder if anyone else is in a similar situation and what your approach is. How do you make it easier on the kids?

Jerry Bergonzi: Nearly Blue
