I created some drawings to further explain the armhole problem on my t-shirt pattern. Nearly all drafting instructions that I've seen for t-shirts are pretty much the same. But those instructions do not work for a fitted t-shirt.

Hi, My name is Michelle and I'm a qualified nail technician. I began making press on nails during lockdown and enjoyed it so much I decided to keep doing it! My nails are 100% handmade by me. Each set takes typically 60 to 90 minutes, I am a perfectionist and I do not accept anything less than perfect! Now, about the nails... You've seen my nails, you love them and you want to buy them, but what about sizing my nails? I have 3 ways that you can measure your nails for your order. I will list them in order of accuracy and in my opinion ease also. 1, The first way you can size your nails is by purchasing a sizing kit from my shop. Order the sizing kit in the shape of nail you are going to purchase. All sizing kits are sent first class delivery the day that I receive the order. If you order a sizing kit before 3.30pm Monday to Friday it will be posted that day first class. Typically an order takes me 48 to 72 hours to get out so you wont impact your waiting time if you order a sizing kit and your nails at the same time. 2, The second way you can measure your nails is by taking a picture of your hand with a coin (UK COINS ONLY) a couple of centimetres away from your middle finger. Make sure all four fingers are in the frame. Do your thumb separately as the angle of your thumb makes it difficult to see the whole thumb in the same picture as your fingers. You will need to do this for both hands so 4 pictures would need to be sent in total. A full tutorial of this method is available to watch on YouTube by typing "How to use a coin for nail measurements" in the search bar. 3, The third way you can measure is by using a soft tailors tape to measure your nails. Measure at the widest part of your nail bed. Make sure you tuck the measuring tape right down the side of your nail up against the sidewall. Measure the space between the sidewalls in mm. Make a note of the mm for each thumb and finger in mm and add this in the custom section of your booking. This method is time consuming at can be difficult to get right. Please look up a YouTube tutorial by typing "How to measure your nails the right way". Typically most people measure incorrectly and so far 100% of my exchanges due to size have been because of inaccurate measuring. Exchanges incur an exchange fee. Once you have your custom measurements you can choose "Custom" in the sizing section of the sizes drop down and write your measurements in the customisation box at check out or drop me a message with your measurements after. The extra small, small, medium, large and extra large are an "average" set size pre determined by the industry. These are the most commonly used sizes however if you have no idea what size you are I wouldn't recommend guessing. Nail sizes are determined through genetics and your individual nail matrix so if you have a small frame it does not mean you will have slim fingers and vice versa. I have been 15 stone in my life and I have been 9 stone in my life, my nails stayed the same size. Pre set sizes are as follows Extra Small 4,8,7,8,9 Small 3,7,6,7,9 Medium 2,6,5,6,8 Large 0,5,4,5,7 Extra Large 0,4,3,4,7 Now your nails. My nails are firm, they do not bend or break and the polish does not peel away. I have a stringent tried and tested process that I have been working on for over 4 years. Your nails are prepped and finished to a very high standard. The products I use are professional brands that you need to be qualified to purchase. I use Home of Nail Art (HONA) which is a professional only brand that is high quality and hyper allergenic. All of my nail products are professional brands. I am working on making more length options available but at the moment the pictured lengths and shapes are all I offer. Every order comes with a free application kit which includes the following: Cuticle stick Nail adhesive tabs Nail glue x2 Alcohol wipes Nail file Nail buffer If you lose or damage a nail you can order a replacement nail from my shop in my listings. If you're in a rush for your nails you can rush your order also available in my listings. Rush my order also upgrades delivery from 48 hour tracked to 24 hour tracked (no guarantee they will be received within these time frames) I accept exchanges if you pay the exchange set fee and you return the nails in the same condition you received them. All nails are sent tracked delivery using Royal Mail "tracked 48" (usually received 48hrs after dispatch) Overseas orders are tracked using Royal Mail Standard tracked delivery (usually received 5 to 7 working days after dispatch) Follow me on Instagram for news of sales and special offers and new releases.

RACES Writing Sentence and Paragraph Frames are an effective, scaffolded approach that will support your emerging writers. If your students are struggling when responding to text-dependent prompts, paragraph frames are the answer! I've seen first-hand how RACES writing templates help students learn to write more thorough, elaborate, and organized constructed responses. *PLEASE NOTE: This is the same as RACES Paragraph Frames Practice, but this one also includes digital Google Drive versions and editable PowerPoint files that you can customize for your students. When I say that this lesson includes AWESOME resources to teach your students how to write constructed responses, I am not joking. In addition to the EDITABLE file and links to Google Drive DIGITAL versions, this is what is included: lesson plans for 4 days (color-coded) mini PowerPoint presentation that doubles as a RACES poster (the extensive intro. to RACES lessons are in the RACES PowerPoint resource) a nonfiction practice passage on two levels for differentiation a short story 3 prompts on two levels graphic organizers sentence frames RACES paragraph frames- a variety of templates sample paragraph response for modeling entrance slips for each day exit slips for each day a rubric and a bonus file of blank paragraph frames for future use Since the nonfiction passage AND the planning and prompt pages come on two levels, you'll be able to differentiate for all learners. By the time you finish, your students will have an awesome grasp of what is required when they write a short response to literature. If you want to continue using the paragraph frames, you can use the frames in the bonus file, which can be easily edited and adapted to work with ANY writing response. Look at the preview to see more of what is included. And prepare for EXTRAORDINARY results!

I've seen snap frames at quilt shops and online. It's easy to build your own with PVC and snap clamps. That's all they are anyway. (2) 24" length 1" I.D. Charlotte pipe (4) 8" lengths 1" I.D. Charlotte pipe (4) 1" 90 degree elbows (6) 1 x 4" PVC Clamps from Flexpvc.com Dremel with reinforced cut off wheel or hacksaw Tape measure Sharpie Painter's tape Purchase two 24" sticks of PVC and cut it into 8" lengths. The easiest way to keep your cuts straight is to wrap painter's tape around the pipe just above the mark. Using a dremel, cut 8" pieces from the 24" pipes. You'll have 16" left from one of the pipes. Save it for another project. Double check pieces cut by a lumber yard. Most of mine were up to a 1/2" too long and one was 1/4" too short. Now, connect the pieces and snap the clamps on. This frame is perfect for any hand needle work and for basting around quilt blocks. With just 4 3-way tees, longer clamps, and longer pipe, you can build a floor frame.

Many of you have seen these (or won a copy) on my Facebook page, but I have received a number of requests for information about the home note that was on yesterday's post. I've talked about why home-school communication is so important for our students and some Dos and Don'ts in doing it. This is an area I have been working in for many years trying to find the balance between providing specific and meaningful information to families while still assuring that the teacher can 1) teach the class and 2) stay sane. There are SOO many things to do in a classroom, especially one that serves students with special needs, that adding this component of communicating with families is often the straw that broke the camel's back. So, I want to share a tool that I hope will make it easier, quicker and more effective to help build relationships with families while also helping teachers stay sane.
