I well remember ...Oh dear, some people are so rude! I well remember a girl in my first form in high school. She was not an academic achiever -- in fact, she was old enough to leave school at the end of that year (the rest of us were only twelve going on thirteen). She was absolutely brilliant at hair styling but I doubt she would have made it through tech (as it was called then). My point is, you don't have to be brilliant with the technical terms to be brilliant at what you do! I teach knitting but still resort to YouTube for technique tips every now and then! PS good luck with your return to that place that pays you so you can continue doing what you are so good at doing. I was going to finish one word short of the end of that sentence but, as an ESOL teacher, I know I <i>technically</i> shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition! ;-)Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760744006915967397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-69190018902394375412013-09-28T16:05:10.376+10:002013-09-28T16:05:10.376+10:00People are outrageous!

That made me think it doesn't have a description at all. I'd love to know what you undiplomatic emailer thought it was called! Anyway - the only thing I found referred to a patch. So I think an eff patch would be a great name.

Who are they to criticise? Do they make patterns with all the proper terms and stuff? <br /><br />The whole point of pattern making is to be able to instruct someone how to make the same item that you just made. If that happens, then you have done your job. If you do it with all the fancy words and the pattern user also learns some fancy new tricks, then that is a bonus. Keep doing what you are doing, Jodie. I love that your instructions are entertainment in themselves - makes the whole process fun! <br /><br />It's not like any of the big commercial pattern companies would use the proper term either. They wouldn't give it any sort of name at all, probably, just a dodgy diagram that is oriented in the wrong direction.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04240613771053698106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-82706928424317297762013-09-26T12:42:03.953+10:002013-09-26T12:42:03.953+10:00lol, i hope you told the witch to 'bite me'...lol, i hope you told the witch to 'bite me'! ;p you're not a fraud. you're a creative spirit that makes reading blogs lots of fun! ;pInahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00935210279435739320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-77613090631063426162013-09-26T12:02:37.040+10:002013-09-26T12:02:37.040+10:00Good stuff Jodie!!
