I have a few photos in the 4,000+ views because the image ended up on Flickr Explore. I suppose that’s down to the appeal of the image not the garment.
My most viewed photo, which like yours Sarvi gets a half dozen looks every day, is currently at 6,058 views. It is a Sailboat top modified into a belted dress. That’s definitely come about due to…[Read more]

Definitely an interesting topic – my most viewed with over 3000 views was a backpack I made from LTTS (which my dog has since eaten…) My second most viewed was a random Ice Cream top – over 2000 views – but certainly nothing special. Kind of weird.

This is such an interesting thread, I don’t know what makes items popular. I click if the garment catches my eye or is a particularly good photo.

My most viewed was a set of pirate themed Roller Skate dresses (919) I made for a friend’s Disney Cruise, most favorited was a Field Trip set and hoodie (20) I made for a friend’s kid.

You’ll love sewing and wearing the Everyday Skirt! I’ve sewn 3 now (2 for myself and one for my sister). It’s easy but looks very pulled together.

I may have also taken advantage of the “yay we won!” sale and picked up 1 or 3 Liesl + Co patterns I didn’t have yet…

OMG Liesl – I was in Nordstrom today and saw a women’s blazer that I really liked and was looking all over the construction to see if I could possibly hack something together – I was considering taking photos of it but thought that would be kinda weird. ..I am so excited! Oh yes, and thanks!!!

The Everyday Skirt is such a great pattern! I have two and wear them often.

Oh, great tip, @vothgirl ! I bet you will see an interesting uptick in views after appearing on the blog. I’ll be curious to know what the difference is.

@with-love-heidi I wonder whether the Project Run & Play entry had something to do with it?

@justmejay I know the hunstman spider pic you mention, I can see why it has so many views!

That would be here http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/she-sews-seashore-dresses.html

I really need to learn how to do this without Hugo’s help….

If it is a stretch fabric and she doesn’t mind a bit of tugging I think it would be do-able.

I would sew it, with out the facings, safely pin the shoulders closed and try it on. If it works, snip off the excess strap, if it doesn’t, finish it with the buttons and button holes.

I have a tute here if you would like a peep at the construction.

I want to make more for my, all of a sudden, very opinionated 9 year old. She has noticed the clothes I make her aren’t the same as what the kids at school wear, ie the majority aren’t knits and she decided to have an opinion about colors and patterns. But, she still loves when I make her things, so I need to change my game.

I want to focus…[Read more]

Could you hear my squeal from here? Liesl said blazer! Definitely one of my dream patterns.

To see your top-viewed items on Flickr (on a computer – I don’t know if you can view “views” on the mobile app), go to your page. On the right hand side right underneath your “active since” date, there will be 3 white dots (like an ellipsis), mouse over that and a drop-down menu will appear. Click on “popular” and then you can sort your most…[Read more]

@rhythmtyagi that cross stitch is adorable! I saved the Martha Stewart pdf template to my phone’s Kindle app and am already thinking how I can adapt it to resemble my family – mostly, how I’ll make the man’s outfit look like a military uniform ;-). I love that the baby is in a carrier as I use my ring sling and ergo all the time! I like the sizing…[Read more]

@dubhels2003 try this:

Since my pro account expired, I can’t access my stats anymore (The daily breakdown of views, traffic sources etc) – I can still see basic number stats though.

My most popular pic is actually not sewing related at all – it a photo of a huntsman spider (almost 10000 views – go figure)

My second most popular is one of my Lisette portfolio tunics,…[Read more]

Sarvi – dos you keep your pro account on Flickr? I used to check my stats, but since my pro account expired I can’t see them any more…

Ahhhh, thanks for mentioning this Sarvi – I have been meaning to for while – yes, can this be addresses somehow? Many of us (myself included) have a different user name & screen name

@JWo what a clever idea to use a mirror! I’ve read that for knitting Fair Isle it’s great to be able to knit both English and Continental — maybe lefties have advantages when it comes to certain kinds of knitting?
