Index innovation
Over 160 posts – whew, I’ve been doing this for 3-1/2 years !
And the total number of visits to this blog passed 375,000 on December 26 – another lovely gift of appreciation š
(It looks as if rather a lot of people happily spent the day blog following :D)
Sometimes I think I’m running out of things I want to comment on, then I rough out 3 posts on one day, or one piece spreads into 4. . . Blogs tend to have a natural life span. I sometimes notice myself in danger of repetition, but this blog isn’t obviously soon to end !
There’s so many posts now, it does need a guide to put some structure on it all.
Considering that I just write what comes to mind without any master plan, it’s interesting that most of the posts are on a few topics.
So I’m working on a more helpful index, which is at the top of the right hand menu.
It’s a surprising amount of (not very interesting !) work so it’s progressing slowly and not complete yet. I plan to add more over the next few weeks.
Hope that makes it easier to find things.
All this wordiness and analysis is definitely a ‘niche’, not for everyone. So I’m delighted you show so much interest.
Best Wishes for the coming year.

I love reading your blog, sewing plums!

all the “wordiness and analysis” is hard to find! and very much treasured when it is.

Thanks for work on the index – it will really help newbies like me who just found you.

it is always a happy morning when I open up the computer and see that there is a new “sewingplums” post! Glad to hear that you are planning on continuing.
I can only imagine what work it would be to index your blog… when I switched to a mirror blog from only having Livejournal, I realised that I could use keyword tags as a kind of index, which has made my finding former posts on a particular topic a lot easier. And, of course, I have not got either the kind of readership or the interesting topics that you write about… I am truly grateful that you will be indexing your posts; your blog is one that I return to again and again, not just for the current post but for your thoughtful take on sewing topics, particularly planning and the various ways a particular concept can be expressed

I love your blog! It is one of my favorites; Indigotiger expressed my feelings very well. Showing us patterns to achieve a certain look, such as Eileen Fisher’s, is particularly interesting to me. One of my favorite designs by a favorite designer is this:

which could inspire modifications to one version of Butterick 5816.
Jurgen Lehl’s clothing is so innovative; wouldn’t it be wonderful if he (and others) joined the small cadre of pattern designers who offer us imaginative, artful designs.
Am eager to explore your index, especially for wardrobe planning.

Thanks for a year of thoughtful posts :-). About indexing, consider the humble tag, designed just for this purpose..

Thanks Marie-Christine.
This type of index has been available here for some time, see ‘Main Topics’ in right hand menu.
