Thank you so much for this site!  This is the site I have been looking for!  Reminds me so much of Ravelry for knitting and crochet! So glad to see there is finally one for sewing! I am glad to be apart of the community!

Maybe you can add a possibility to add a designer to a stash entry? It shouldn't be a "must" to add it, but a "could". There are some famous fabric designers, patchwork at one side like Timeless Treasures, for kids fabrics at the other side, like Hamburger Liebe, Lillestoff and more :) And the with the possibility to search you can see what fabrics others has from the same designer.

And it would be great if you add another option to the stash Design. There are so many fabrics which don't fit in :D I really really miss stars, but also a generally option like "motive" for all those wonderful not-baby-fabrics :D

So those would be "Stars" and "Motives"? )) Could you give me an example of "Motives"?

things like my penguing Sweet, the jersey with birds or the Siesta-Jersey from my stash :)

We are still looking into this to shape the database properly.

No night theme ever for me :( 

What time is it on your computer?

20:16 o'clock. But I don't had it the other days, too, even when browsing after midnight. I only heard/read of the theme. Maybe another Linux/ Chromium-Problem?

Oh - is it only the Login page with the other theme? that works :D I don't relog... 

Oh yes, that's the only one :) Dark is funny, but I wouldn't dare publish it all over the website - it's not user-friendly I believe :)

Would love it for nightly reading on the smartphone :D but your right, there less that like it :)

Added "stars" and "motives" :)

Ok, not really a new feature, but something that I find a bit annoying (also on the Lekala site actually) is that when you're on (eg.) the pattern list pages, and you click onto the next page, the page changes, but it stays at the bottom so you have to scroll up. Not really a big issue, more of a little niggle. 

Something that would be helpful to me: I can't put in my twitter handle, it tells me it's invalid. I'm guessing this is because it's the_wanlorn and has an underscore in it, maybe? In any case, it'd be great to be able to list my twitter on my profile. Thanks!

Perhaps "reclaimed" instead of frogged? To me, "frogged" implies being able to reuse the materials. Obviously that's not often possible with sewn things but I'm sure a lot of people use projects that have gone wrong as scraps for others.

+1 on errata being important - I think this is the sort of thing that makes a site like this really useful - knowing that x other people made this with no problems, or that a pattern maker has supplied an updated version of something. It'd be great if Sewist became the one-stop place for this sort of info - at the moment I just google "pattern name problem" before a project if I remember and hope someone's blogged about it!

There's an awful lot of projects for which the pattern isn't on Sewist but could be if the person added it. I guess the add system might be a bit daunting for some.
From adding the Colette Hawthorn:
- the "source" selection is mandatory so I think it should be one of the first things you see. I filled in what I could see on the first tab and clicked "save draft" and got an error message saying I need a source. It also dumped everything I had put in! I almost gave up at that point!
- The description box only takes 1000 characters. I copied & pasted the description from the Colette site and it was more than that. Maybe I shouldn't have done that for copyright reasons, but if not then 1000 is probably too small for something with multiple views/options to be described.
- It could possibly do with the option of views. Hawthorn is a dress or blouse so the fabric requirements range from 1.5yards to 3 5/8yards depending on which view you make
- Fabric requirements should probably be in metres and yards rather than cm and inches. Although width in cm or inches is fine... Oh dear. Not a logical, standardised industry! The multiple fabric widths work nicely though.
- Is it a PDF or a printed pattern? It's both! I thought the text on the right was implying that I should use the booklet option but it didn't seem to work so I think I switched to something else...

We have made a little update here :)

Thank you! those are good points, we'll see to it. ))

Speaking of errata, is it errata, or review? We already have projects, I was thinking on adding comments and reviews.

This is probably here somewhere. 

Hello Mandy,

Where can we find old forum posts? they seem to disappear. Is there a possibility to add a button on the forum overview to show more topics, if there any?
