But, paper patterns are a good option for many people for various reasons, I’d be sad to see them disappear.
Absolutely. I haven’t bought from the big 4 for quite a few years. I use mostly pdf patterns from indie designers. I have a non standard body shape and have loved designers who provide patterns for large busts and curves. Thinking I might even try projector patterns one day.
My understanding is that indie pattern makers who provide paper patterns, use the same printers as the big 4. So this is a potential problem for all pattern makers who provide paper patterns.
A cold Sunday morning is for staying in a sunny bed.
The problem with it being “normal” is it will never be investigated further. Coming from a menopausal woman who just found out that her periods were “abnormally heavy” because of fibroids 😞
I heard it too! I think he was mixing up Dutton and Dickson, but I don’t care 😂😂😂

hello!! I know everyone is busy/the news remains bad, but if I may distract for a moment? There's a man named Ander Louis from the Yarra Valley whose sincere passion project is translating War & Peace into Bogan Australian. He's done Books 1 & 2. This is not a spoof. www.amazon.com/dp/108730656...
Growing food is difficult. It’s good to try, but don’t have to rely on it.

Hundreds of thousands of working Australians will be getting penalty rates when working over Easter. The bosses are trying to remove them. Labor has just committed to changing the law to protect them forever.
Not just too low, but the insane hoops and punitive nature of the application process is ridiculous for such a small amount. Honestly, given how much a difference it makes to those who need it, the application and administration needs to be so much easier.

I don't want efficient government.
I want effective government.

The talk of "efficiency" is thinly veiled austerity. And there's no reason for it. It's irrational. It's a greedy agenda being pushed by a population of self-important wannabe aristocrats - the parasites of civilization.
No, he’s not “allowed” on the table.
My beautiful boy helped me with my photography homework.

Absolutely! This analysis is what is missing from journalism.
This is so frustrating. I want them to go further. Talk about policy, then get experts to discuss how these policies might actually impact different sectors.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

I need some DOGE insignia gear so I can turn up at a bunch of shadowy Australian departments and walk in like I own the place

The LNP don't actually care about rural folk 😁👍
Doesn't the water have to be below a certain temperature? I thought that was why they are normally beside the ocean, large lakes, or rivers.
😁👍 and we never have droughts either!

the major parties have seen their primary votes fall from 96% in 1975 to 68% in 2022.

they had two options to arrest the decline:

1. win back trust with good governance & good policy
2. rig the system

tonight they chose to rig the system.

a dark day for australian democracy.

Yep, that about sums it up. Carbon offsets have been a huge distraction from efforts to cut actual emissions from fossil fuels for too long - time to focus on ‘real zero’ and the need to burn less fossil fuels.

Its the fossil fuel companies that benefits from distractions and faked complexity
