It's funny because I was so excited to see you wrote about what a word is in czech as I'm in CZ now, trying to figure out how to sew when I barely understand the terms in English let alone explaining to the old czech lady at the fabric store what I need and why.

And managed by a system that clearly doesn't have a clue what I like to see. Whereas I still deliberately come back to blog posts (some almost 10 years old) to see how other people made a certain gown or project. I enjoy reading what people say about what went right or wrong, what they would do again or not, and when they share any research they've done...and that's just not doable on Instagram. So thank you for sharing the stockings and your process!

I'm so tired of algorithm driven popularity. So thank you for blogging. should probably start doing it again too.

Being able to follow through tags was one of the reasons that made it alluring; if that's gone, that would not allow me to find fellow historical costumers and them to find me, so that makes the whole idea pointless. Let's make blogs cool again! :DHana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-42949669966255161762020-11-20T09:50:14.235+01:002020-11-20T09:50:14.235+01:00Thank you!

It's gotten so big that the algorithms mostly just let me see the most popular accounts in my limited time. And at least in the US, I can't even search hashtags for sewing patterns or anything now. They blanket censored everything because of "stopping the spread of election disinformation". So whether I ever get a comment there again or not, I'm planning to just revive my blog as a means to store my project information. <br /><br />Also, stockings are a clever way to reuse your tees!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09913795373618902575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-89663676249689898502020-11-19T02:59:29.655+01:002020-11-19T02:59:29.655+01:00I admire the way you used what you have - mismatch...I admire the way you used what you have - mismatched, even - for these stockings, Hana.
