How about making some sort of column that would give advices, ideas or techniques on pattern alterations? It would be on weekly basis, for example. Imagine – every Saturday (for example) one of the site members creates a post on drafting a specific pattern, or on altering the basic sloper to draft a completely new garment. Also, this column could include tips and tricks for working with delicate fabrics (i.e. velvet, leather, floating fabrics etc).
The column could directly link to the Learning section, and point to new or existing techniques in it.
I think that many members of the site could contribute (since we’re not all experts, but some of us have mastered some of the sewing techniques), while all of us would benefit.

Hey Anajan,
Thats a really cool idea! As soon as the team is all assembled we will talk about this and the logistics of it!
Thanks!

I’d just like to be able to blog generally! It would save a lot of space when I start whining on the message boards.
