It’s all about shirts contest - 01.02. - 29.02.2020

We got 6 entries so far, Saturday is the last day of sewing 

[toileandtrouble]

I have one sleeve, two cuffs and buttons to do. Leap year has come to my aid!

[Fabric Lover]

For my second entry, I just have the hem , buttonholes and buttons to do. I’ll just have this afternoon to do them though  as we’re away for the weekend and I want to wear it on Saturday as I’m meeting some friends that I haven’t seen for over 15 years or so. (Why do I do that? I have other things I could wear!    Does anyone else have the same problem? )

[Ohsewsimple]

Absolutely @Fabric Lover.  Should we call it a problem?   

[Starryfish]

I've finished the second shirt, just have to iron it and take photos. No time until Saturday for that

Absolutely @Fabric Lover.  Should we call it a problem?   

@ It only becomes a problem when finishing it takes over everything else, and I almost forget to do other important things!

Finally finished my second shirt for the contest, I will now try to insert photos as required!

[Fabric Lover]

Nooo! What did I do wrong?

[Acorn]

Did you take the photos with an ipad?

[Manuela]

@Fabric Lover as I explained previously, you only need to click the blue link that say ‘insert attachment’. I would normally be able to do that, but for some reasons I can’t. The way your entry is posted now, there won’t be pictures visible in the voting thread.
I am sorry, but I don’t have the time to download pictures, rotate them and upload them for the entries.

Below the ‘insert attachment’ link is shown. When you click that, the picture becomes part of your entry post, if you don’t it remains an attachment amd won’t show in the voting thread.

No with an iPhone. I will get DH onto it see if he can figure it out. 

[Fabric Lover]

Try again!

No - it just isn’t working!!

@Fabric Lover, I have rotated one of your images



using Lunapic.  It's a bit long winded but as you can see it does work.  The steps are:

1.   upload your image to Lunapic;
2.   to rotate, click on the 'Edit' tab and select 'Rotate image' which is towards the bottom of the list;
3.   in the 'Angle' window, make the degree 90 and then click the green arrow that faces right;
4.   scroll to the bottom of the screen and click 'Imgur';
5.   copy everything in the 'Image URL' window;
6.   use the link to re-post the adjusted image using the little Mona Lisa icon in reply.



The above is a practical demonstration of how it should work.  I selected a vertical image and rotated it to the horizontal.

@UttaRetch, the main issue we try to sort is having the pictures in the actual text of the post, so that they appear in the voting thread. As I said, I am usually able to do that, but there are occasions when I just can’t. When I tried today, it would have deleted the pictures.
