And … we have accomplished wiki. – all kinds of skirts，dress

thanks to sannse (and Jimbo) at Wikia, we now have a brand-new shiny vintage stitching patterns wiki!

I truly desired one location where people might gather info about vintage patterns, as well as the wiki is, I hope, going to be that place.

What’s a wiki? A wiki is a communally-owned, communally-edited website, made up of lots of smaller articles. (The a lot of popular wiki is Wikipedia.)

Each “article” in our wiki will be about one pattern, as well as will include, I hope:

— an picture of the front of the pattern envelope— links to locations where the pattern is discussed— links to locations where the pattern is for sale— a wishlist where you can put your name down as somebody thinking about buying/trading a specific pattern in a specific size— your comments— identifies or classifications that explain the pattern, like “midriff band” or “collar”

The wiki is extremely rough ideal now, with only a few articles up, however I wished to throw it available to everybody as soon as possible to ensure that we can grow!

So ideal now you may be asking yourself, “What can I do to assist produce this resource?” That’s easy! You can begin new articles.

1. go to the wiki.2. select a username as well as log in!3. look at the articles that are there. have a preferred vintage OUT OF print pattern that’s not listed?4. produce a new post for that pattern. post titles must be the pattern maker as well as number, e.g., “Butterick 6015″5. publish an picture of the pattern. NOTE: a few vintage sellers have agreed to let their pattern pictures be used: Jen at MOMSPatterns, Rita at Cemetarian, Michelle at OldPatterns.com, Janet at LanetzLiving, as well as Julie at Sew-Retro.com … please download the pictures to your own desktop as well as then publish them to the wiki. (You have to be logged in at the wiki to upload.)Otherwise, please only utilize pattern pictures you have scanned or photographed yourself, or of patterns you have purchased. Please respect the desires of other sellers who do not want their pictures utilized this way!6. include some info about the pattern, particularly links to reviews, blog posts, Flickr photos, etc.7. have fun!

If you want a lot more info about exactly how to edit, try this link:how to begin editing.

Here’s a new design article: Butterick 6015 — you can click “edit” on this article, copy the text, as well as paste it into your post as a guideline for your edits. (I’m intending to make a theme that will assist with this soon.)

Don’t concern about making mistakes! It’s a wiki! Whatever gets broken, we can fix! ideal now we don’t have a great deal of policies or “right” methods to do things … if we requirement ’em, we’ll work ’em up, however I believe the golden policy works for a great deal of situations, including wikis.

One last thing: I don’t own this wiki. It’s not mine, I don’t get any type of money from it nor will I. It’s something for the neighborhood of people who like vintage patterns to build, share, as well as have fun with. everybody must feel motivated to participate!

And for those of you keeping track, this is the very first of the two geeky jobs to be revealed …
