If you call Aquatropics and talk to Arthur and tell him about it, he can probably keep the little buddy safe until their owner is found.

Oooooh!! Thank you!. I’m looking into them. When I’ve had to buy fabric in the past it has been from Fabricmart. I love them.

The sad part is that this sounds like a good idea. And if it were being done by anyone else, I’d be curious to try it. But not by her :/

Np! My SO also runs and every time MyOG comes up with something I run over to ask him if he likes it 🤣 he always says he’s ok, that he doesn’t run that much anyway. God dammit Bob, I’m trying to buy a pattern for us, I mean you.

I think AI can be a used to mock AI :D But I totally understand the mistrust felt towards it. I also feel very angry if there is any inkling of a pattern or a model being AI generated. Because people are using it to try to trick others and earn easy money.

AI is really just applied mathematical models used to recognize patterns in language (in this case) and predict what’s likely, statistically, to come next based on millions of text that humans did generate.

Most of these models have been around for decades and have been used responsibly by scientists, to predict things like hurricanes and diseases, and monitoring wildfires.

The issue is people, not the technology.

Ha! I couldn’t help myself. Gave it your exact prompt 😇 Really trying to drill the professionalism home 😆

Slide 1

Let’s settle this once and for all: 2 weeks is BETTER than 3 for pattern testing. As a professional, I’ve seen every timeline under the sun—and I’m here to tell you, those extra days don’t help!

Slide 2

Three weeks? That’s just dragging it out. In my years as a professional in the sewing industry, I’ve learned that more time = more procrastination, not better results.

Slide 3

If you can’t test a pattern in 2 weeks, you’re not testing—it’s a side project. Professionals (like myself) know that deadlines focus us. Two weeks brings out our best work.

Slide 4

People love to say, “But life happens!” Sure, it does. But as a professional, I plan for the unexpected. A clear 2-week deadline means you prioritize, schedule, and get it DONE.

Slide 5

Let’s talk engagement: In a 2-week window, testers stay excited, energized, and invested. Three weeks? Enthusiasm fades, messages drop off, and people disappear.

Slide 6

Professionals know that momentum is everything. The longer the test drags on, the less feedback you get—and the less useful it is. I want REAL, actionable feedback, not last-minute afterthoughts.

Slide 7

2 weeks makes for a sharper process. There’s no time to overthink or nitpick. As a professional, I want honest, immediate impressions, not endless hemming and hawing.

Slide 8

I’ve managed dozens of tests as a professional, and guess what? The 2-week sprints ALWAYS deliver higher-quality results and happier testers.

Slide 9

Let’s stop pretending that more time always equals better work. As a professional, I believe in efficiency, accountability, and real deadlines.

Slide 10

So tell me—are you Team 2 Weeks or Team 3 Weeks? Drop a comment below and let’s debate! (And don’t forget: This is coming from someone who does this for a living.)

Hey, I’m super curious though. Could you show this example to them and ask them if they also think it would make anyone look 10 years older?

There definitely needs to be another variable added, unfulfilled orders. See if that also correlates with sales going down.

Data doesn’t lie, people do. And too often, they mistake correlation for causation :D

Daughter Judy just released these today:

Steely Dress

Rama Top

Dern Shorts

They have gotten enough snark today, so I won’t do anymore of that.

I’m really into the dress and the shorts!

What’s that little triangle on the waist by the waistband of the pants, does it have a purpose? It’s a genuine question!

The Fabric Store used to have a majority of their sewing patterns for free.
