@CoraCHarrington @trauma_kitty This is just the best of fashion history books. Everything in social, economic and political context. 💪💕

[Anita McAdam @studiofaro]

@CoraCHarrington That is absolutely gorgeous and now I want to run to the workroom and make that pattern. Wrinkly linen and all!😎

@TashP351 Absolutely nothing!

Thank you @dieworkwear for taking the time to dispel so much ignorance. 🙏

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

I don't understand why this is a good tweet. It's neither true nor funny. It's just naked prejudice and ignorance.

I will tell you about the history of hoodies—and how knowing this history can help you style them. 🧵

If you're in any doubt about hemming your pants, here you go:

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

Let's talk about how trousers should be hemmed. 🧵

Who be likes to use contrast/print fabrics for the trim and lining in their trousers? https://t.co/tl6T89Qw3f

@CoraCHarrington And yet they say teachers don’t work hard. I’d like to see them put a syllabus together and develop the course materials. Nothing easy there. 💪💕

[Anita McAdam @studiofaro]

@dieworkwear Love your work. Have a fabulous New Year. 🙏💕

@DrEmmaBeckett Is raw sugar less processed? Molasses left in?

[Anita McAdam @studiofaro]

@mistresstailor Such beautiful fabric and so artfully reconstructed. 🏆

[Anita McAdam @studiofaro]

@mistresstailor Love interesting pockets.

Language of Mens Clothing - just wow!

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

IMO, to do this well, it helps to know the language of men's clothing. 🧵

@mistresstailor This reminds me of that newly coined internet term 'pattern hacking' when they either mean pattern making pattern alterations. As an industry pattern maker I have a problem with this term. We hack nothing, it's all precision and well thought out. So it just means stitching. 🤔

@meganysta @torontolibrary Absolute disgrace @torontolibrary

@Robert_jenrick @benette_morris1 Thanks for the info. 🙏💕

@mistresstailor I do hope you're collecting these snippets of wisdom for a 'some time in the future' book. It would be every fashion/costume students delight.

@mistresstailor Adorable fabric in that blanket coat. Actual blanket or yardage?
