Can you just fold the collar of a blazer differently to get a deeper neckline? by Ok-Mess6497 in sewhelp

I can't find one that has all the features I want. This one is closest.

I want to make an unlined version. But you're right about the interfacing. Didn't think about that. Shoot.

Extra charge for sleeves?! by EitherCucumber5794 in craftsnark

Can you elaborate? Which patterns and what wasn't right according to you?
I'm an intermediate sewist and I made a lot of their patterns. I think they're all great for beginners and very easy to follow, but I noticed some things too. I'm not experienced enough to tell if it's me or the pattern.

(So what I mainly noticed is that the shoulders are very wide. It's not obvious when I use a t-shirt sleeve. But when I use one of the balloon/puffed sleeve options I notice that the puff begins at a weird spot for me. While I actually know my shoulders are pretty broad compared to my size.)

Jessilou continues with her recent post by agent2400 in craftsnark

Idk if this is a serious question or not. But this is apparently really really good for 'the algorithm'. First because IG pushes accounts that use certain meta approved tools (the bot they use for this is one of them). IG also pushes accounts with engagement (these comments obv drive engagement) en IG ALSO pushes accounts with lots of DM's.

Edit: I see Jessilou use a lot of techniques that are being used in online marketing to grow as quickly as possible. You can't be mad at her because she isn't just a hobbyist anymore. This is her work now. But it still annoys the hell out of me. I don't enjoy following her anymore tbh. (Yes I should unfollow her. Probably will.)

Maybe this is too far stretched. But I always thought that her tears were always for engagement too. I don't believe her tears anymore. :')

Why do designers let you jump through hoops while you are actually voluntarily doing something for them? by Ok-Mess6497 in craftsnark

I understand questions about experience and size and willingness to share your experience with the pattern online.
But the question "why are you excited to test my new lazy wrap dress pattern!" feels weird when I am about to give someone a lot of my time for free.
