Back to sewing!

You really will! This we gotta see, in all it's glory, first drawing to last thread!

I'll do my best to document the process. :-) I guess I'll also have to break down and figure out the whole web page thingy.

You can do it. I know Most providers give you space and good instuctions. Glad to have you back. I've missed your posts. JJ

I use Front Page - it's dead easy. I pop a table onto the page, and drop the re-sized and cropped pix in, and write the text in the box beside them. Go and look at my site and see how it looks. I tend to keep things plain, so it's easy to read and follow, and downloads quickly. You can hide the boxes in the tables easily so they don't show if you want to.

border=0 gets rid of the nasty blue line around photos, too!

it's good to have a working knowledge of HTML also, I started by learning to write code, and now I use both FP and Dreamweaver in addition to manually tweaking the code to get the result I want. If you understand the code you can tweak things when you can't get the program to quite cooperate.

I would highly recommed the Visual Quickstart Guides by PeachPit Press, author: Elizabeth Castro, title: HTML for the World Wide Web.

just for grins, here's all the sites I've made: mine:

and I did these over xmas break this year:

I know Comcast does offer web page space, and my older daughter is a graphics designer who put up her own web site, (take a look at

) so all I need now is some of _her_ time!:-)

This is such a beautiful example of finding a niche. Your experience is your strength in understanding what is needed and how your designs and modifications will function, and how they will meet the needs of the user/wearer. You cover such a wide area, that you are not likely to become bored, either.

I hope that others on this ng who want to sew for an income can do as well in finding their niche. For me, getting away from alterations and bridal party attire seems a good impetus for exploring possibilities. ;-)

Give me the artist type any day. DS is very artistic, Music, painting, construction, model planes, photography. He just happens to be in computer so he can support his hobbies and family. I suspect he's very creative there as well since he keeps looking for for new challenges. The three DD's are all musical that's why I'm partial to the artists of the world. They keep us going when all else goes south as far as I'm concerned. JJ
