Well that's an important place!Is that mood lighting in the tub I see ???
I think it's plenty manly!I know sewing up some curtains don't sound very manly...
I bought the material at a garage sale for 10 bucks, the lady said she paid over $100.00 for the 4 yards!
There's alot of gold and copper tones in the material and the patterns cool!
I'm convinced now to make the rest and give the "Taj" a face lift inside!
I know sewing up some curtains don't sound very manly... but in my defense, I did custom upholstery professionally for years and still have the equipment!

Our Company Commander at Great Lakes (BT1 Driscoll: you out there you Cad!?), taught us, among many other things, how to sew on buttons ("you'll use this someday"); one of the good things I took away from the Navy. The Navy; it's not just a job, it's an adventure!*I think it's plenty manly!
One of the topics that was taught in Marine boot camp (in my day anyway) was sewing, because "Your mama ain't gonna be there to fix your sh** in the field..." We were even issued OD green sewing kits. I still have mine, though its well used now.
Cheers
Heck...If I knew how to sew stuff and cook something I would feel ALOT more manly!! I've actually tried both.... and I'm permanently banned from MB's sewing room and I'm not allowed to use the stove or microwave oven!!I bought the material at a garage sale for 10 bucks, the lady said she paid over $100.00 for the 4 yards!
