Quick Buttonhole Poll!
Thanks for your input, dear readers!
110 comments:
I love my machine buttonholes and don't think I would ever attempt to do one by hand! I think I'd rather spend the time doing some ornamental work or playing with my cats...just my two cents! Thanks for asking, and I can't wait to set my mitts on your book!!!!ReplyDelete
I think it's always valuable to know how to do a machine technique by hand, as well. Especially for those instances where it's difficult to navigate with your machine, or you forget a step... :) I'd like to see your method, even if you decide not to include it in your book.ReplyDelete
I cannot IMAGINE myself ever doing a hand-worked buttonhole. Seriously.ReplyDelete
My machine makes the most horrible button holes ever! My hand worked ones are not much better and take alot longer. I would love to see handworked button holes in your book - if not in your book maybe here on your blog.ReplyDelete
- Liz
give yourself a break, skip it.ReplyDelete
I wouldn't complain if it's included in the book, but to be completely honest, I don't think I will ever make one by hand myself.ReplyDelete
hand worked buttonholes please! I haven't found good instructions yet! with pictures that is... I need pictures.ReplyDelete
I'd be up for learning how to do a handstitched button hole... 'specially since my button hole function on my machine doesn't work so well.ReplyDelete
Please include one. I don't think I'd ever use one on medium weight fabric, but very lightweight or very heavyweight material needs them to be really neat. Mine always look sloppy.ReplyDelete
i am interested! i think a technique like hand-worked buttonholes would fit well within your book... bound buttonholes are nice, but they aren't always appropriate. and i think machine buttonholes are kind of ugly :XReplyDelete
but yeah, count me for a YES :)
Please yes! My machine makes atrocious buttonholes and I only use it for things where I really don't care how neat they look (kids' PJs and the like) but I have yet to figure out how to make a nice looking hand worked one.ReplyDelete
Not sure exactly sure who your book is aimed at, but I think life is too short for most home seamstresses to handwork buttons unless on a very special project.ReplyDelete
Personally, I can't see myself ever feeling the urge :)

Machine is the ticket! No need to rally to include a handworked one.ReplyDelete
I'd go with machine for the book. The other one might be a nice blog post though.ReplyDelete
If I'm going to put extra effort into a buttonhole, it will be bound, not hand worked. Save the hand work for the next book on more advanced tailoring!ReplyDelete
Yes, please do! I really want to learn to make them well for tiny buttonholes on fine baby garments.ReplyDelete
I'm always looking for different ways to do buttonholes, since my machine does 'em fast and ugly.ReplyDelete
Don't bother with the hand-worked. I like the look of them, but would go with bound over hand-worked every time.ReplyDelete
Yes! Would love to see a hand-worked buttonhole! I'm finding I prefer hand-picking a zipper and I'd like to add this to my arsenal of hand finishing.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 23, 2011 at 10:17 AM
I'll probably be sticking to my machine. I also agree with Erika - give yourself a break! It sounds like your book is already going to be filled with wonderful sewing deliciousness. If people are really interested, maybe save it for a later blog post tutorial!ReplyDelete
- VictoriaRAugust 23, 2011 at 10:17 AM
I think you should give yourself a break. I've only made hand buttonholes a few times and they were not really better than my terrible machine ones. There are so many other techniques that I'd rather see.ReplyDelete
Don't bother and save yourself the time! I feel sad for all these people who have machine that make terrible buttonholes- my old Singer attachment makes beautiful ones!ReplyDelete
There are lots and lots of places to learn how to create a hand-stitched button hole if one wants to learn how. Just take a few extra minutes and breathe instead of making a sample!ReplyDelete
Yes please include hand-worked button holes! I find thicker fabric machine buttonholes cannot always be done by my machine.ReplyDelete
Leave it out. I don't think I would ever have the desire to do one.ReplyDelete
The only time I've ever dealt with hand-worked button holes is when I haven't had a sewing machine at hand. Save it for a future blog post or if you have plenty of time after you cover everything else you want to finish for your book.ReplyDelete
I got really geeky over handmade buttonholes last year and spent ages making samples. It is one of my favourite details to make - kind of like adding your signature to a finished garment. However, I found it really difficult to find any good instructions. There are many books that describe the basic stitch but they don't describe how to prepare the buttonhole and stabilize the fabric. They often don't show good close-ups of the finished buttonhole and what it is going to look like.ReplyDelete
I guess my point is - I would love a good reference on buttonholes, but if it is just an extra bit that will be squeezed in without going into details, you might as well leave it out. Handmade button holes are a bit on the geeky side anyway.

If you have the space and time,include them. I think a hand made buttonhole looks fantastic when made well. BTW, for the nicest looking hand made buttonholes I've ever seen (with instructional video and recommended threads), look here http://tuttofattoamano.blogspot.com/2010/02/hand-made-buttonholes-video.htmlReplyDelete
I'm sure they're beautiful, but I am also sure that I will never in my life make a handworked buttonhole.ReplyDelete
I vote for the handworked buttonholes!ReplyDelete
I say yes to the buttonholes! I think it's always good to know how to do something by hand :) Looking forward to the book!ReplyDelete
I don't want to tell you what content to include in a book but I would be thrilled to pick up a book that did include a technique that I admire in Vintage clothing. So if you really want my vote, Yes. I personally like hand-stitching... if you include it just don't tell your beloved sample maker, Jonathan. Good luck with the photo shoot. Can't wait for the book to come out!ReplyDelete

I think knowing how to make handmade buttonholes (and having a good visual) can be really useful. I usally make buttonholes on my machine but was forced to learn to make them by hand while making a blouse with a very narrow placket out of a very thin swiss dot. I didn't interface the placket and because it was so narrow my machine was literally eating the fabric. I pulled out a vintage refernece book and got to work. They came out lovely, have held up well and no one would know the difference.ReplyDelete
oh, hand-worked buttonholes are amazing. They're one of those little things that can really take a special project over the top—I don't think I'd work a whole shirt's worth of buttonhonles by hand, no matter how special the shirt, but a single buttonhole to close a neck or a waist? Delicious! I'd love to see these in the book...ReplyDelete
I am quite obsessed with suits, and to me they required handworked buttonholes. I've done my fair share of them, and I'll never go back to using my machine for them (well mabye for a cotton shirt or something simple) But my first one was no good. I got better after I watched this video which may help:ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 23, 2011 at 11:19 AM
Yes please cover hand worked buttonholes, they add such a nice finish and I would love to learn your techniques to improve mine.ReplyDelete
Thank you
I would love to see hand-worked buttonholes in your book! My machine becomes a fussy monster when I attempt buttonholes on it, and getting some tips on making neat ones by hand would be excellent.ReplyDelete
Bound Buttonholes!ReplyDelete
Handworked buttonholes are "gration" on my nerves.
I had to use my word verification in a sentence.
I've never made buttonholes by hand and I would be interested to see how it's done (I'm always curious to learn something new, and I love hand-sewing). I would probably try it out and if it's too bothersome and isn't worth its while, I won't make it. Do you think it adds something to the garment? I agree with other commenters who said that a blog post on the topic would be great. Thanks for asking :-)ReplyDelete
Yes please do!ReplyDelete
I love hand stiching and all my vicoritan clothing I do have hand stiched button holes.
Please ceep the old knowledge alive!
My machine eats button-holes, so some handworked options would be good.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 23, 2011 at 11:55 AM
I think that hand worked buttonholes would be nice, but do not think that you should demonstrate techniques that you yourself have not mastered.ReplyDelete
The Tutto Fatto A Mano blog by Jeffery Diduch, linked to by another Anonymous, offers a good basic guide. But there's a lot to it, even with a video tutorial.
I am very much looking forward to this book release and I would love to see a hand worked buttonhole tutorial in there. I just made a post about my phobia of doing buttonholes, well it wasn't exactly about my phobia, but I mention how I'm basically avoiding buttonholes and faking it with velcro.... ARGH!ReplyDelete
I'd say when your more comfortable with your handbound buttonholes then make a seperate tutorial for it from your book. I don't think i've ever done a handbound buttonhole before because I just don't have a clue. I think there is more to it than what it probably is so I stay away but if I had a tut, i'd probably atleast try. You could make the handbound a supplement to your book.ReplyDelete
Tips on doing a hand buttonhole would be fabulous. I have a velvet vest that looks AWFUL with machine buttonholes, and my machine does a great buttonhole. Still. Awful. My first hand buttonhole was great. The next one, not so much. Must have been beginners luck. Any help appreciated.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 23, 2011 at 12:03 PM
Nah-I wouldn't bother putting hand-worked buttonholes in the book. Who actually does those? My machine does them fine, and I think they're sturdier than the hand-made kind. I also wash my hand-made clothing in the washer on delicate, and I find that the machine ones hold up better. Good luck with the book!ReplyDelete
I'd wait for your second book! The Gertie Couture book:) Or "Gertie goes to Paris" book. I do machine and have not yet attempted a bound (which is definitely a retro technique). I would wait. I took Susan's class and couldn't actually ever figure them out - but I put that in the class of Couture and Tailoring techniques. Just a thought:)
Just be sure to teach us to use buttonhole stitch, not blanket stitch. Wasted a half-hour of my life once watching someone very carefully showing viewers how to make "buttonhole" stitch around an appliqué, all the while she was actually doing blanket stitch. Buttonhole stitch is much more durable than blanket stitch, as it lays multiple layers of thread along the cut edge of the hole. Only difference between them is which way the thread wraps around the needle after you've poked it through the cloth.ReplyDelete
Another thought - a tutorial on a machine corded buttonhole, if you are not already doing that.ReplyDelete
When I learned to sew my inherited machine did not have a buttonhole attachment so I found a book with instruction for hand working buttonholes. I got very fast at it and they looked good too. I'm not sure hand worked buttonholes are relevant anymore, but it sure is nice to know I can make some if my machine breaks down. So I vote yes, include instructions.ReplyDelete
I do use my machine on my boys clothes, but I do hand stitch my buttonholes on my clothing. I would include both techniques. If I were purchasing a book, I would look at the variety of techniques offered. Well, lol that is how I look for books.ReplyDelete
I made them all the time when I had a cheap kenmore that would not make buttonholes now I never make them so while it is useful information its not something I would personally use.ReplyDelete
I used to always do my buttonholes by machine till i found an old (1911) book with clear instructions on how to do them by hand and then made a dozen or so myself. It certainly takes some practice to make it look nice but in my experience is totally worth the effort. That said, if *you're* not comfortable with handstitched buttonholes, I'd say *definitely* don't include them. After all, it's your book.ReplyDelete
If you include great instructions/tips for bound buttonholes, I won't care if you skip the hand-worked ones! (My machine doesn't make pretty ones, but I doubt I'd do a better job... if I needed a lovely looking buttonhole, I'd go with bound every time!)ReplyDelete
Many moons ago, my mother and I were shopping and found a silk crepe blouse with two hand-worked buttonholes (probably made in the early days of "Made in China") that were exquisitely done.ReplyDelete
Even though her (later my) machine made perfect machine buttonholes, she bought the blouse both because the blouse was otherwise beautiful, but also because such hand-worked details signaled "couture" to her.
So include them or leave them out as you will, but I am here to testify that once upon a time, such details were the difference between "nice" and "beautifully made."
I have no opinion on buttonholes, but I thought it noteworthy that when I first glanced at this in my feed, I thought it said "Quick Butthole Poll" and that, friend, piqued my interest.ReplyDelete
I hate my machine's buttonholes and have tried to do them via hand a couple of times -- always with minimal success. Since I'm planning on buying your book when it comes out, I'd really appreciate a buttonhole lessson :)ReplyDelete
As your reader, I want to know how and why YOU do things. So it would be valuable/interesting for me to look in your book and discover that you don't do handworked buttonholes, and your reasons for not doing them.ReplyDelete
So I vote for you to be Gertie, and not to demo a technique if you don't do it readily or easily yourself. You can instead refer the reader to your own source for learning how to do handworked buttonholes.
Thanks, and good luck. Eager for your book!
It depends on how much hand sewing you are including in your book. If most of your construction methods include hand sewing then button holes would be a basic.ReplyDelete
I don't expect ever do a hand-worked buttonhole either, but I'd love to know how to, just to know.ReplyDelete
I can't see myself ever wanting or needing to do a buttonhole by hand...ReplyDelete
My vote is really good instruction on turning out perfect machine button holes. I have to do a dozen practice ones to remember how to line everything up right. Bound button holes are completely mystifying to me.ReplyDelete
Chances are, I'd never make a hand worked button hole, and if I did, it would be once or twice ... but I would refer to the other techniques much more often. So I vote for them and not the hand worked. It's not so much the button HOLE as it is the button anyway ...IMHO. Good luck with the book!ReplyDelete
I think I would like to see the handmade buttonholes, but I don't want to stress you any further! Whatever you put in your book will be GREAT!ReplyDelete
It must be so exciting to have a photo shoot for your very own book! I can't wait for the time when I can do the same!
Button holes you say!! I was almost in tears yesterday putting in the button holes in a velvet vintage bolero jacket I did such a gorgeous sewing job on only to mess up so much on one of the button holes. I have a good machine but obviously don't have a handle on using the button hole feature and need to sit down and crack this. I'm considering asking someone to do them for me who is skilled. YES I would love to have you write about hand ones in fact I tried to fix this one by hand and it was a pathetic mess!! I'm only saved by the fact it's all in black and when buttoned it does not show.ReplyDelete
I believe there is something very vintage about doing stuff like this by hand. So yes please.ReplyDelete
I don't know that I will ever do a hand-worked buttonhole. I much prefer a bound buttonhole. But the hand-worked buttonhole could be an online-bonus. One of my favorite knitting books has 2 bonus patterns online. The password for the patterns is word number ? in the ? paragraph on page number ?. The password is changed monthly (or something like that) to a different word from the book.ReplyDelete
Just an idea, if there isn't room in the book, but you want to include something extra.
I say no; life's too short. Include a good piece on bound buttonholes and a good piece on machine buttonholes and correct thread. I personally think that's enough for the homesewer.....ReplyDelete
I admire those who can, but I have never tried. I say ix-nay on bound buttonholes. Save it for the next book!ReplyDelete
I am practicing making old-fashioned buttons woven with a needle and thread on a tiny brass ring. They are loads of fun to weave. I find fiddling them a great way to relax at the end of the day. But it just now dawned on me that I have no idea how to hand-make a buttonhole!ReplyDelete
My latest advancement is to use a chisel thingee to cut uniform buttonholes in fabric. I was just going to use my machine to do the binding.
I don't think good-looking buttonholes can be made by hand.
I also have big problems with my machine buttonhole and have been meaning to learn. I would like to see it in the book - whic I will definitely be buying.ReplyDelete
I have only ever done machine buttonholes, but I think your hand bound ones are beautiful, and that you should give yourself credit for their awesomeness, and include them in the book!ReplyDelete
I'd love to try to learn to do button holes by hand. I steer away from making anything with buttons just because my button holes always look terrible. I'm sure practice would make them look better...but I'm less worried about doing them by hand than machine.ReplyDelete
I vote yeah! I'm getting very into hand sewing and it's pretty hard to come by good techniques.ReplyDelete
I say add it. My machine broke when I really needed it and all I had was my hand sewing skills left. So in a pinch a handsewn buttonhole is a valuable tool.ReplyDelete
The first buttonholes I ever did were hand ones as I had not yet learnt how to use the attachment on my machine! For some reason I thought it would be easier to do by hand! I still wear the blouse today though so they obviously worked.ReplyDelete
- fangaroniAugust 23, 2011 at 4:52 PM
Meh I say don't include it... especially if you are going to have to rush and sew one up. I believe Sunni from a fashionable stitch has a tutorial up (unless I remembered wrong), so you can just direct people who want the tutorial over there...ReplyDelete
Never occured to me to do hand sewn buttonholes! I have done bound buttonholes and I love those and my machine makes pretty buttonholes, but now I think I should certainly learn to make hand sewn. I love embroidery and hand work. Must try.ReplyDelete
This is one of those areas where I'm torn between making an easy and okay-looking buttonhole by machine, and overcoming my fear and learning how to do a nice handworked one. Actually I should probably learn how to do a bound buttonhole properly before anything.ReplyDelete
Have you told us the theme or focus of your book yet? Probably you did and I've forgotten. But if it's about recreating vintage styles, or incorporating the techniques of yore into modern clothes, then the handworked buttonholes would be a nice addition.
My machine broke once just as I was finishing an item for my family to take to India -hence I had to do three hand sewn buttonholes, never an experience I want to repeat, I'd stick to machine and bound. God Bless the inventor of the sewing machine!ReplyDelete
I'm with Pammie, we can wait for your second book and besides, that will give you some time to practice so that we can then say "darn, she sure makes that look easy!"ReplyDelete
Go with the machine and bound. Bound are so pretty but for those who want to save the time they will go with machine. Save the hand button holes for your second book! Best of Luck!!ReplyDelete
Would love to do this by hand.ReplyDelete
I would love to know how to make buttonholes by hand. At the same time, I don't need to learn from your book - if you'd like to call it a day, I won't run off and refuse to buy the book because it lacks handsewn buttonholes. I mean, really.ReplyDelete
My word verification is holes, which is obviously a sign.
If you are talking a handmade bound buttonhole, then I would love to see it featured in your book. Any tips for making beautiful handmade buttonholes is greatly appreciated.ReplyDelete
If I am lucky I will never, ever, make a handmade buttonhole. Thusly...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 23, 2011 at 8:35 PM
I agree that a well handworked button hole is nice but not something I really aspire to. Life is full enough. A blog post if you had the time and the mood to do one would be interesting and informative. But, reality: don't load up the book with the esoteric.ReplyDelete
I'm late to the poll party but after seeing beautiful handworked buttonholes on tailored jackets, and knowing how many hours of practice they take to look good, I'd rather do machine buttonholes... rather than be led to think they can look good after a couple tries! (Maybe your next book can have some practice exercises on handstitches! So that one can gain the muscle memory?)ReplyDelete
I would not be interested in working buttonholes by hand on my clothing because of the durability factor, or lack thereof. My two cents is in favor of skipping this technique in your book and showing us some other luscious decorative ideas.ReplyDelete
YES please do! It may take longer to do it by hand but you don't run the risk of ruining your garment in the very last step. Plus unless you have a totally radical machine the button holes often look pretty wonky. Machines are great and all, but if you want to ensure something is done correctly the first time every time, do it by hand. That's how I feel about zippers too but that's a whole other can of worms...ReplyDelete
I'm not sure if I'll ever actually work a hand buttonhole, though I see them in Cath Kidston and they are beautiful. I wonder how many books actually include this technique? Perhaps it would be useful or interesting.ReplyDelete
Yes! Please do include your technique, if not in the book, then please post it here. What if we new yorkers have another blackout and have to make our buttonholes by candle light? (or not)ReplyDelete
I really wouldnt bother . I dont think that unless they are works of art (ie Chanel Couture) they should be attempted myself .Give me a machine one any day.ReplyDelete
It does seem to fit with your modus operandi; beautiful tailoring and lots of handwork, so that's an argument why it might fit nicely in to the book.ReplyDelete
However, most people including me will only make a handworked buttonhole under very special circumstances, and in that case the information is readily available on the web.
Hi there GertieReplyDelete
I am one that votes yes please to handworked buttonholes.
Will be starting on my Chanel Jacket in a few weeks time; following all the couture techniques.........so your tutorial on handstitched buttonholes would be perfect timing!
- AnonymousAugust 24, 2011 at 6:50 AM
I think we have ENOUGH beginner sewing books!!!
Bound buttonholes and handsewn button holes is what I want to see.
Lets make it a book for real retro sewing and finishing :)
I would love to know about hand worked buttonholes, personally, I think it would be a great skill to learn.ReplyDelete
Machine button holes are good enough for me, and I think there will be plenty of other great stuff in your book that you don't need to add little tidbits like this that will put you under extra stress. Save it for book 2, I say!ReplyDelete
i love hand worked button holes and always welcome another technique on how to successfully complete one. I'm on the 'yae' side.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Most would not have a use for the hand-worked buttonhole, but would suggest including the hand buttonhole stitch. If gives a nice finish when attaching snaps and hook & eyes.ReplyDelete
Please include it!ReplyDelete
Adding to the extremely list of votes, I would say that I don't care to see information about hand-worked buttonholes. I learned to do them in a tailoring class at Michigan State back in 1960 something..and have not made one since. The time may come when my fabric dictates more than a machine worked buttonhole, but I like bound buttonholes. There are many books out there with this information anyway.ReplyDelete
I don't do machine buttonholes - only by hand - but Claire Schaeffer's couture book has excellent instructions for hand-worked buttonholes, so I don't know if I would need another set of instructions...ReplyDelete
I would add them and try to do it on just one page to make the book more complete. I'd love to see them! ~PageReplyDelete
I would love to learn this! I want to get better at hand techniques, particularly since I am drawn to styles of days gone by.ReplyDelete
- Miss BlossomSeptember 3, 2011 at 1:14 PM
A vintage buttonholer attachment is definitely the best way! I have a very basic machine which makes very unpredictable 4-step buttonholes, but I've not looked back since buying an ancient buttonhole attachment for only 99 English Pence on ebay- the very best in 1950's clockwork technology produces far better buttonholes than the fanciest computerised sewing machine.ReplyDelete
In times of my grandma all my neigbours sew their clothes, and all of them did their buttonholes by hand. They had machines, but those only made stright lines, of course. I remember some of them were specially famous in my street because of the beautiful buttonholes they did. When I started trying and came up with such horrible messes, my grandma told me, it's only when you've done hundreds of them that they are gonna be OK. So I tried to conceal them, or to the them military style with thicke fabrics during all the years my machine was not able to sew them. When some years ago I bought my automatic machine, what a bliss it was, specially for two reasons: buttonwholes and zigzag.ReplyDelete
Now, I say, if a techinque done by hand is not so goodlooking, and more timeconsuming tnaj with the help od the machine, why bother??? It's gonna be ages untill "you make hundreds", like my grandma said, and they start to look Ok. What wrong with machine sewing? We uses to SEW every seam we can with no conscience trouble, don't we?
How is the button hole done in a couture sewing class? I love my machine button holes but they never seem as sturdy as some of the store bought clothing. I have thought to use the machine more of a secure 'basting' and then top stitch by hand...but this is onvouseely more time consuming!!ReplyDelete
Hi, I'm new to your blog, but I think you should definitely include hand-sewn buttonholes in your book. For one thing, it's not half as hard to do as people think - and it's helped me save many a lovely sweater or jacket that had crappy, machine-done (but not very well done) buttonholes that quickly unraveled after a few wears.ReplyDelete

Great 1960s Vintage Schiaparelli designer faux fur on lambskin hat. Made in Italy and 22" in circumference.
In order to best determine fit, measure yourself or a garment of a similar style that fits you well. Compare those measurements to those on the item description.
All of our pieces have been professionally cleaned and arrive ready to wear.
We offer a large selection of designers and manufacturers that span the 20th and early 21st century. Sizing varies greatly, so we have outlined our measuring and size estimating process.
The best way to know if a vintage item will fit you is to take a garment that fits you well, similar to the one you are interested in purchasing, and measure it the way we measure ours.
We lay all garments flat and measure as follows*:
BUST - under arm to under arm across the front and then double that measurement.
Measure the WAISTBAND, widest part of the HIPS, widest part of the THIGH on one leg and width of the CUFF, then double those measurements
WAIST - find the smallest part of the garment if there isn't an obvious seam for the waist and measure across and then double that measurement.
SLEEVES - measure from the top of the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve. When we think that the arm opening is particularly small, we will provide that measurement as well.**
*Fabrics with stretch will have some give, we will try to mention the range of measurements that will fit comfortably. **With dolman sleeves, the size is an estimation based on the waist as the body seamlessly joins the sleeve.
Feel free to email us with specific questions about specific measurements that we may not have included that you need to know in order to feel confident about your purchase. If you have a particularly long torso, short legs, long arms, etc.. we can help you determine whether or not a garment will work for your body.SaveSaveSave

LONDON (AP) - Britain may allow a controversial technique to create babies using DNA from three people, a move that would help couples avoid passing on rare genetic diseases, the country's top medical officer says.
The new techniques help women with faulty mitochondria, the energy source in a cell, from passing on to their babies defects that can result in such diseases as muscular dystrophy, epilepsy, heart problems and mental retardation. About one in 200 children is born every year in Britain with a mitochondrial disorder.
For a woman with faulty mitochondria, scientists take only the healthy genetic material from her egg or embryo. They then transfer that into a donor egg or embryo that still has its healthy mitochondria but has had the rest of its key DNA removed. The fertilized embryo is then transferred into the womb of the mother.
Some groups oppose artificial reproduction techniques and believe the destruction of eggs or embryos to be immoral. British tabloids jumped on the procedure when it was first announced in 2008 and labeled it the creation of a three-parent baby - the mother, the donor and the father - a charge scientists claim is inaccurate because the amount of DNA from the donor egg is insignificant.
"Scientists have developed ground-breaking new procedures which could stop these diseases being passed on," Britain's chief medical officer, Dr. Sally Davies, said in a statement on Friday. "It's only right that we look to introduce this life-saving treatment as soon as we can."
Similar research is going on in the US, where the embryos are not being used to produce children.
Earlier this year, the UK's fertility regulator said it found most people supported the new in vitro fertilization methods after a public consultation that included hearings and written submissions.
Critics have previously slammed the methods as unethical and say there are other ways for people with genetic problems to have healthy children, like egg donation or tests to screen out potentially problematic embryos.
In a response to the public consultation, the charity Christian Medical Fellowship said the techniques were unethical.
"We do not consider that the hunt for 'therapies' that might prevent a small number of disabled children (with mitochondrial disease) being born justifies the destruction of hundreds if not thousands of embryonic human lives," the group said. It also said there were lingering concerns about the safety of the techniques.
British law forbids altering a human egg or an embryo before transferring it into a woman, so such treatments are currently only allowed for research.
The government says it plans to publish draft guidelines later this year before introducing a final version to be debated in the U.K. Parliament next year. Politicians would need to approve the use of the new techniques before patients could be treated.
If British lawmakers agree, the U.K. would become the first country in the world where the technique could be used to create babies. Experts say the procedures would likely only be used in about a dozen women every year.
"Many of these (mitochondrial) conditions are so severe that they are lethal in infancy, creating a lasting impact upon the child's family," said Alistair Kent, director of the charity, Genetic Alliance U.K., in a statement. "An added option for families at risk of having a child with such a condition is welcome."

Vintage Hairstyling: A Giveaway!
I've been using my copy of this book for a couple weeks now, and it's helped me tremendously. I'll admit that I used to think I could gain all the knowledge I needed on this subject from YouTube - but having a printed reference from a professional is so helpful and is definitely taking my 'dos to the next level.
The photographs and copy are clear and easy to understand, and I love that all the tools she uses are easy to find. The basics section has been the most helpful to me so far - it explains the difference between wet and hot sets and shows you how the details (like what direction you roll the curl in) make all the difference. There are sections on finger waves, hot rollers, pin curls, curling iron sets, victory rolls, pompadours . . . and the list goes on! (Go to Lauren's website to see full-size sample pages of the book.)
There are lots of elaborate styles explained step-by-step.
I was amazed at all the different styles I can do with my length of hair - fake bobs, a pageboy, and more. There's also a look inspired by Joan Holloway, which you know I'll have to try at some point.
To make a long story short, if you're interested in trying vintage hairstyles, you need this book. And you can win one right here! To enter, just leave a comment on this post by midnight EST on Wednesday, January 29th. I'll pick a winner by random number and announce it the next day. (Note: you'll need to see the post to claim your prize, so subscribe to this blog if you haven't already!)
A big thanks to Lauren Rennells for sponsoring this awesome giveaway. Be sure to check out her website, order her book, and read her fantastic blog.
Update: contest is open to all countries. As long as you can receive mail, you're in!
Update #2: To answer Nathalie's question, becoming a follower means subscribing to my blog by your method of choice: e-mail (see the link in the right sidebar), Google reader, Blogger (that's the little widget with all the profile pics), Blog Lovin', etc.

I have been playing around with retro hairstyles by using sponge rollers on my washed and dried hair before I go to bed. It cuts down on the frizz factor. Now, when I go back to my old method of just blowing out my hair or straightening it, I just feel like I'm undone. Now, I finally understand why my mother never leaves the house without her face and hair done (even though it can take an hour and a half). Natural, smatural. Count me in.ReplyDelete
Count me in, your posts have inspired me to pin-curl my growing-out bob, and made it look much better!ReplyDelete

I got my sister this book last month, and she loves it. It is a fantastic resource.ReplyDelete
This book looks fantastic! I'd love to get hold of a copy... which I think I will do if I don't win.

I'm crossing my fingers!
Oooh.... I've been experimenting a lot lately, too. Youtube doesn't know everything? Victory rolls and beehives are keeping me from getting pissed off and chopping my hair.ReplyDelete
I have always been a fan of the pin curl as my mom would do my hair for me every week when i was young! It would be great to expand my styling knowledge!ReplyDelete
I am so excited, I have only been doing vintage hairstyles regularly for about six months, but I've heard of this book several times, and I think she's fabulous.ReplyDelete

I have been visiting Laura RennellsReplyDelete
web-site since I saw her picture on your blog. The book is to die for.
I am wishing myself luck in winning it as I am growing my hair out. I've had a short pixie for some time now. My hair is a short bob (almost to my chin) and I am anxious ot try some fun styles. I can't wait for a few more inches to grow.
Just one thing to say: *droooooooooooool*ReplyDelete
Ohhhh, I really hope I win this! It appears to have more styles than the first, and I'm desperate for a good beehive tutorial. *crosses fingers*ReplyDelete
How fabulous - at my house the book would probably shuttle between my room and my teen DD - I love the 50's and she loves the 40's. We would adore this book.ReplyDelete
What a great book! Thanks for organising another giveaweay.ReplyDelete
Oh goodness count me in!ReplyDelete
I agree, that looks fantastic! I love vintage hair styles!ReplyDelete
Don't add me to the draw, as I already have this book (and it is excellent!), but the author's first name is Lauren, not LauraReplyDelete
Awesome, I'm so glad you're giving away this book! I was just saying this morning that I wish I knew how to do cool hairstyles.ReplyDelete
oh my goodness!! I would just about DIE if i won this book! I've been waiting for enough funds to buy one =) good luck everyone!ReplyDelete

Heritage River Birch (clump) bark
(Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder)
Height: 60 feet
Spread: 45 feet
Hardiness Zone: 3b
Other Names: Red Birch
A multi-trunked form of the native river birch selected for its amazing peeling bark in colors of white, brown and tan, more creamy white than the species, also has reliable fall color; needs acidic soil, susceptible to chlorosis in alkaline soils
Ornamental Features
Heritage River Birch (clump) features subtle chartreuse catkins in early spring. It has dark green deciduous foliage. The pointy leaves turn an outstanding yellow in the fall. The peeling creamy white bark is extremely showy and adds significant winter interest.
Landscape Attributes
Heritage River Birch (clump) is a multi-stemmed deciduous tree with a more or less rounded form. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other landscape plants with less refined foliage.
This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and should only be pruned in summer after the leaves have fully developed, as it may 'bleed' sap if pruned in late winter or early spring. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Heritage River Birch (clump) is recommended for the following landscape applications;
- Accent
- Shade
Planting & Growing
Heritage River Birch (clump) will grow to be about 60 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 45 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 3 feet from the ground, and should not be planted underneath power lines. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 70 years or more.
This tree does best in full sun to partial shade. It is quite adaptable, prefering to grow in average to wet conditions, and will even tolerate some standing water. It is not particular as to soil type, but has a definite preference for acidic soils, and is subject to chlorosis (yellowing) of the foliage in alkaline soils. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This is a selection of a native North American species.

German legislators propose law barring circumcision under age 14
Published November 14, 2012
BERLIN (JTA) — A new proposal by liberal and left-leaning legislators in Germany would bar ritual circumcision for boys under the age of 14.
Some 50 members of Parliament – from the Social Democratic Party, the Left Party and the Greens – have signed on to the proposal, which they hope will preempt another bill currently awaiting parliamentary approval. That bill, submitted last month, would allow Jewish and Muslim parents to choose ritual circumcision for an infant son under strict regulations, including medical training for the circumciser and the use of anesthesia.
The new proposal would prohibit the non-medical circumcision of infants, and would require that the procedure be carried out by a trained urologist or pediatric surgeon, according to German news reports. The legislators reportedly insist that the child himself should be able to decide whether or not to allow "such a serious interference with his bodily integrity."
The current campaign against ritual circumcision in Germany, which is led by a cadre of activists and boosted by some politicians on the left, picked up steam last May after a Cologne District Court ruled that the circumcision of a minor was criminal assault. The ruling came to light in the general public in June. In response, Jewish and Muslim leaders demanded a legal response that would protect their religious freedom.
Though the bill submitted in October introduces new restrictions on a ritual practiced without interruption for centuries in Germany, Jewish and Muslim groups have praised it as a way to protect their religious freedom against increasing onslaughts by opponents of circumcision.
The new attempt by left-leaning lawmakers would undermine that security and is expected to meet vigorous opposition in the Bundestag.

Pro-rated Warranties
Pro-rated warranties reference the cost of parts covered by Palliser® in the event of a claim. On a five (5) year pro-rated warranty, Palliser will cover 100% of the cost of parts and labor in year one (1). Palliser will cover 80% of the cost of parts only in year two (2), 60% of the cost of parts only in year three (3), 40% of the cost of parts only in year four (4) and 20% of the cost of parts only in year five (5). In each case, with the exception of the first year, the original retail consumer will be responsible to pay the balance of the cost of parts.
This warranty does not cover the following:
MAKING A CLAIM To make a warranty claim or to inquire about concerns with your Palliser product, please contact the authorized Palliser retailer from where the original purchase was made.
When making a claim under this warranty, proof of purchase with the original bill of sale and the product serial number are required. Should these not be available, Palliser reserves the right to deny claim. Palliser reserves the right to request photo verification and/or the return of defective parts to its factory.
Cover Material
The Palliser warranty does not cover any damages due to improper use, excessive soiling, improper or unapproved cleaning methods (see Product Care for details), chemical treatments, exposure to direct sunlight or colour fading. These instances will void the warranty.
Leather – Five (5) year pro-rated warranty
The Palliser warranty covers against seam slippage, tearing, splitting, cracking and dye transfers from the product. Leather is a natural material and, as such, each hide reflects its own characteristics. On average, four to five hides are used on most Palliser sofas.

Palliser offers a one (1) year warranty for labor and workmanship applying to all upholstered furniture manufactured by Palliser. Palliser products are warranted to the original retail consumer, to be free from manufacturing and parts defects. The warranty takes effect from the date of delivery to the original retail consumer. Within one (1) year from the date of delivery, Palliser will pay, at no charge to the original retail consumer, customary labor rates to repair or replace the defective parts. Under this warranty, the sole liability of Palliser is limited to repair, or at its sole option, parts replacement. Should there be service required under the warranty then the initial service inspection will be covered by Palliser. Palliser will not be responsible for any transportation costs. For clarity, should inspection deem that no repair is necessary then initial service fee will be payable by end consumer to the third party. After one (1) year, the original retail consumer will be responsible for all costs related to labor. See Parts Warranty above for details. The term "defect" as it is used in this warranty is defined as a flaw or deficiency that affects the intended use for which the product was manufactured. The Palliser warranty provides coverage to the original retail consumer only where the purchase has been made from an authorized retailer of Palliser and therefore is nontransferable to any second or third party. The special Palliser identity tags found on your product are your guarantee of the quality and authenticity of your Palliser product. Removal or attempted removal of such tags will void this warranty.
PRODUCT CARE Any application of third party product invalidates Palliser's Warranty.
Leather Care Clean leather often, as frequent and gentle cleaning is easier on leather than less frequent, more aggressive cleaning. Cleaning will remove built-up dirt, skin oils and perspiration.
Always test the soap solution in an unseen area on the sofa to ensure that the solution does not damage the leather (no leather color transfer on to your cloth). Wipe with a dry cloth.
Natural (Aniline) Leathers Clean with only a slightly damp cloth. Do not use any type of soap on natural (aniline) leather. Wipe with a dry cloth.
Fabric Care Fabric manufacturers recommend regular dusting and vacuuming. Removable cushions should be fluffed regularly. Soiled areas should be cleaned based on the following cleaning code(s) found on your Palliser product. If cleaning codes are not available, contact your retailer from where you purchased the product. S — Vacuum frequently or brush lightly. Spot clean only using mild water-free solvent or dry cleaning product. Pre-test small area before proceeding.
W — Use water-based cleaning agents.
WS — Use water-based cleaning agents or mild, water-free solvents.
X — Vacuum or brush lightly and do not use foam or liquid cleaning agents
GENERAL a. Modifications to Palliser product outside of Palliser factory specifications voids warranty and consumer does so at their own risk. b. At Palliser's sole discretion there is no promise to repay or replace Palliser product – only repair as per our Warranty. c. Warranty does not apply to Palliser products that have been subjected to abuse, accident, modifications, improper handling or installation or repairs made by anyone other than an authorized Palliser representative. d. Warranty may not apply to Palliser products where use of product has not been evenly distributed.
Thank You Very much for your review!
Bought the couch last year. The couch is extremely comfortable and well built! The only issue we had was 2+ month wait time and 3-4 weeks in we were told they ran out of the material color we chose and we had to choose another.
Beautiful well made sectional . We previously had a Palliser brand and know how well they are constructed , seats & cushions that don't sag. Shipping was smooth ( even during pandemic) & we are very pleased .
I have to say l had a great experience with this company. Customer service was awesome! They answered all my questions and was very helpful whether it was by phone or chat. My sofa sectional to 2 months but that's expected for custom made. Delivery of my sofa was great as well with no problems.
We are so happy with this sectional! We were even happier with the customer service on this site. They were beyond helpful and accessible. This was the easiest and most enjoyable large purchase I have ever made. We even had one small problem that was immediately seen to and rectified.
We purchased these chairs in vegan leather and really like them. The swivel is smooth and they are very comfortable. Nice and wide for men too.
It was a huge leap of faith, ordering pricey custom leather sofas online. Would they be comfortable? Well made? What would the leather feel like? Would the color swatch be accurate? Well, my Palliser India sofa and loveseat - in Pansy - just arrived, and I couldn't be happier. The leather is supple, the color consistent and gorgeous, a slap of style on the classic sofa shape. The cushions are firm and supportive but not stiff or hard. Now to Etsy for gorgeous handmade throw pullows
We ordered this Arlo sectional with two recliners at each end in Bronco Carbon and it is absolutely perfect. The leather is so soft and the sofa is sturdy but also cushy -- I've taken two naps on it already and just got it today. Sofas and Sectionals was excellent to deal with and it took just over 12 weeks to receive it. Got the white glove delivery which was excellent and worth it. A perfect sofa for our new house on the lake!
I like this sofa but I would like to see different colors
What is the difference between "full leather" and "protected leather?"
Protected leather means that the leather is processed to be better suited for spills and scratches. Full Leather is a designation between having 100% leather all over the furniture or if they will do a leather match. A leather match is where they will do top grain leather on the seating surfaces and vinyl everywhere else. As it turns out, the Northbrook is only offered in Full leather.

About the author of the Second Reading in today's Office of Readings:
|Mid-morning reading (Terce)
|Romans 5:10-11 ©
When we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, we were still enemies; now that we have been reconciled, surely we may count on being saved by the life of his Son? Not merely because we have been reconciled but because we are filled with joyful trust in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have already gained our reconciliation.
|Noon reading (Sext)
|1 Corinthians 15:20-22 ©
Christ has been raised from the dead, the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. Death came through one man and in the same way the resurrection of the dead has come through one man. Just as all men die in Adam, so all men will be brought to life in Christ.
|Afternoon reading (None)
|2 Corinthians 5:14-15 ©
The love of Christ overwhelms us when we reflect that if one man has died for all, then all men should be dead. The reason he died for all was so that living men should live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised to life for them.
