I used to clutch my pearls at the thought of matching but I’ve completely changed my tune, match the hell out of it.

I just recently ordered from Rockywoods and loved them, lucky you!

I have a daylight lamp similar to this one, just an older model

The magnifying glass is a godsend for working on dark fabrics.

The snaps sold by Oliver+S are fantastic, I can thoroughly recommend them.
However, you could definitely sew in some poppers and then sew a mock button over the top.

I have not done that with this pattern but I have on many other garments and it works fine.

I read an article about the snow storm yesterday – the accompanying pictures were amazing. I can’t imagine what it would be like to live somewhere where it snows (I shall confess here – I have never seen snow!)

If it makes you happy, go for it!

I love that first one!

I don’t know if there’s really a standard–it’s more about what looks and feels right on your body. It’s probably fine–that detail is so small it’s not going to detract from the skirt once you get the length right for you. Does that help?

Polartec Power Stretch fabric is awesome! That’s what all my winter running clothes are made from.;)

If it’s an issue with a place not being able to print just one page of a PDF, you can always split the file and send just the page(s) that are the large format sheets.
