It's very cute fabric, too. I like it.

Thanks! I just got a fabric grab-bag in and it was the color that best suited the green on the rest of the bike.

I'm so impressed that your automated buttonholer worked so well!!! Mine, in my experience, is more of an automated thread-snarling device

Yeah, it took a number of tries to get it started -- the directions weren’t the clearest in the manual, and there turned out to be a doohickey I needed to lower that’s part of the machine -- so I feel you for sure.

As a seamstress, I'm impressed, delighted and so proud! Look at you. Pattern drafting! It looks so good!

I’m very proud of myself :D There’s stuff I should have done a little differently, mainly hemming the sides AFTER attaching them to the top -- but it all worked out in the end, at least.

put a trigger warning on your bike seat, mine got stolen yesterday! (i'm joking. it's a beautiful seat. mine still got stolen through)

Aw, sucks! The seat or the entire bike? It almost feels worse when it’s just one part because the odds of someone stealing it because they needed it as opposed to just be A Little Shit are pretty low.

oh I love that! nice fabric choice. you might need to cover it if you ever leave the bike outside, personally I use a shower cap for this...

Well, the nice thing is it’s easily removable, so even if it does get wet I can take it off and wash it pretty easily. I try not to store my bike outside if I can help it, but one never knows when a summer shower will hit...

So, what is actually going on? I missed the start of this discussion. Are you doing an expansion, with the benefit of all your years of writing, or will this eventually end up original fic, with none of the HP trappings?

when you say the post is "not visible" do you mean on your dash or in the tags? because tag/search pages just don't show posts half the time, it's been like that for maybe a year now

Optional skate is a type of practice. The practice itself is not optional but the physical act of skating on the ice is optional. These practices might include video review, strength conditioning, team meetings, talking to nutritionists, working with massage and physical therapists etc. 

Usually this is where the star players will rest while still getting practice in, while benched players or struggling players will get on the ice for more practice, whether it’s taking shots or running drills or taking faceoffs.

This issue comes up a lot in fan fiction i’ve noticed, where they may have players who are in a long distance relationship say “oh i don’t need to go to work today it’s it’s optional skate!” and no that’s not how it works. These players will still have to show up, however like i said the skating part is optional. NHL payers only get 4 days a month where they are not doing anything work related.
