Site-Wide Activity

I have another one, which would also e handy on the blog…
A “back to top” hovering link type f thing, as some pages can be quite long and not having to scroll back up to the top when done would be handy!!

new tab, and the reply idea is a good one too.

Definitely as a ‘new tab’!! Also, it would be great to have a ‘reply’ button underneath each comment….in case someone asked a specific question, and you could have a branch of discussion within the main thread. I liked the suggestion about having the threads start with the newest information first as well.

Stuffing the ballot box for new tab. (You can new tab in chrome on a mac, it’s not PC-specific, but I’m lazy.)

Well here in western part of the State of New York, UPK, which isn’t universal at all starts at age 4. By not universal, I mean, only some school districts do it, some do it for a half day, some for a full day. Some only have so many spots, unlike Kindergarten itself where all are welcome. Some can enroll every child.

What age does universal preK start where you are? Is that a government service? I’m just curious. But yes, it looks like those single patterns will be useful. I will probably be making bloomers and playground shorts for my girl this spring. She’s much more active now and will need something under the dresses.

Well, in September my daughter will be going to universal pre-kindergarten (UPK), and the following year, all day K.
Up until now, she’s been home. In the winter with her dresses, we use tights or leggings, and in the summer, b/c she’s at home, if while playing in a dress, she flashed undies, no one has cared.
Now that we will be attending…[Read more]

I took a pair out that I made. I laid them out, so I could see how the construction with the yoke works, since i couldn’t remember. I lengthened the pant piece instead of the yoke. We shall see. I might have to muslin it, since I don’t want to waste my Amy Butler fabric on a big mistake! 😉

Cybele, I would either lengthen the bit that’s not the yoke using the picture I drew or lengthen within the yoke, using the same method. I can draw more pictures if nessassary 🙂

Hi ladies, thought I would chime in as I was looking for this exact thing to accommodate a cloth nappy in the sailboat pants.
I found a quick little blog with pictures for lengthening the rise of a pattern, but the pattern still…[Read more]

It looks like we will have to wait until the broadcast is finished – I can’t view it here in the US on bbc.co.uk or YouTube. I’ll have to schedule a little reminder to look it up later!

It is now two episodes into season two of the great british sewing bee, 8pm GMT on BBC 2 on Tuesday. I’m not sure how you get it overseas.
Applications are open for season 3 contestants, I can’t convince my mum to enter which is a shame!

Thank goodness for this forum. I am working on the birthday party and my exact question for hem facing was do you fold out the placket totally and match raw edges or do you leave the 1/2 ” folded. I admit I am confused when it says unfold the placket or such, because I never know does she mean COMPLETELY?? Or does she mean just that 1 1/4″…[Read more]
