  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

With patterns so expensive, now, (along with gas, and milk :p ) I have found a website you may be interested in!

http://www.wildginger.com/

The "Wild Things" program is free to download, and includes purses, bags, hats, and loads of stuff. The one i am looking to buy is PatternMaster Boutique v.3 - Women's Wardrobe, & PatternMaster Child's Play v.3 - Girls' and Boys' Wardrobe. They have demos to download, so see what you think!

Love-n-Blessings,
dd

I agree that patterns are ridiculously expensive now. When I was looking through the books at my local store the other day, I found a skirt pattern I really, really wanted. It was $15. :eek:

So I went home and made the pattern myself from scratch, the first time I'd ever done that. And it actually turned out! (Even bigger :eek: !!)

Anyway, I guess like me, you guys would have some old patterns lying around your home (clothing patterns, I am mainly talking about). Would anybody be interested in starting a pattern exchange? I think it would be a good way to trade ideas and get new projects for free.

Let me know what you think.

:)
