I had written this article for Viewspaper ages ago, Was talking to a dear friend who suggested that we should write for our blogs , So I am putting here too 🙂
I am past the stage where I can say I am the youth of India but I have experience to count upon, so I can well imagine what sort of problems plague the youth. When I was studying, the only thing on my mind was what I would do once I graduated. There was no set structure except for discussions on the options one had. Although the advent of technology today has made students comparatively more aware of their choices, a lot of issues still bother them.
The 'reservation policy' is creating a divided society and producing a system run by the undeserving and the incompetent. A progressive India, promoting a 50% reservation in the government and private sectors spells disaster – more so, with the OBCs quota. I can understand the noble thought of getting everyone to the same level, but I wonder how this would help. All this has caused a further divide across the country; the rich and the so-called upper castes hate the lower caste more when they see an undeserving (academically poor) candidate getting a seat in a medical or engineering college above the one who deserves.
Getting a seat in a prestigious college requires a lot of hard work.
How can hard work be measured?
I'm sure the kids of the rich and the poor work equally hard, burn the midnight oil and appear for the same exam. Then how come a student who has higher marks loses a seat. Would this not frustrate the deserving candidates more?
I can understand that the poor can't afford extra classes or tuitions. The government's priority in that case, should be to ensure that such facilities are made available to the poor. Free and compulsory education should be provided.
If reservations are to remain, then they should be reduced in percentage and be merit-based, with less difference between the person who gets a seat on merit and one who gets it on reservation. It is unfair that a student at rank 800 gets a seat preference over a student at rank 500, just because the former has a reservation preference to avail.
Moreover, there are rich people from the lower strata who are unfairly using reservations to get free seats. The social standing of the person should be taken into consideration too.
Reservations create an unfair win-win situation because they use the reservation card throughout their lives, to get a seat, then a job and thus, an undeserving student who cannot differentiate a dissection from a dissertation becomes a doctor. Imagine how many people's lives would depend on such hands that pick up the knife on the basis of a reservation.
The worst thing is that this reservation system passes on to the kids of such people too, and thus, this becomes a vicious circle that goes on and on. The students, who lost their seats to reservations, would be the ones who stand there, dazed and shocked, thinking of how much hard work they put in for a seat that they lost to someone's caste.
I'd say that reservations actually encourage caste system and magnify the whole divide within the society

I recently discovered a series entitled "31 Weeks to a Better Genealogy Blog," at the Tonia's Roots blog. This series is based on the Darren Rowse (ProBlogger) e-book 31 Days to Build a Better Blog. Unfortunately, I am coming into this about a month late, so I am playing "catchup." Once caught up, however, I plan to keep up with the series.
This assignment is definitely one that I am at least experienced with, if not mastered. Tonia presents a list of eleven ways to promote a specific blog post, originally noted in Darren Rowse's e-book. My thoughts on these promotional ideas follow.
Pitch to other bloggers: ask another blogger to consider linking to your post. This gives me the heebie-jeebies. I really don't like asking people to do things for me.
I have never asked another blogger to link to one of my posts. On the other hand, I believe that providing quality content will inspire other bloggers to link to your posts of their own accord. For a list of mentions of this blog in other blogs, see http://haitfamilyresearch.com/blog.aspx, at the bottom of the page, where I have linked to all of the posts I have found that link to this blog. Others may exist–please let me know about them if you find them in the comments here.
Social Messaging: use Twitter, Facebook, and other social networks to promote your post. Darren says "the key is not to incessantly spam your followers and your friends with your link."
This blog is a part of the Networked Blogs application on Facebook. My settings automatically post links to new posts to both Facebook and Twitter. The one drawback to this is that it is not always entirely evident that my posts on Twitter relate to genealogy. To amend this, I will often re-tweet the automatic NetworkedBlogs tweet with the added hashtag "#genealogy." I would recommend that anyone tweeting any content related to genealogy always use the #genealogy hashtag to set that content apart.
I also have a WordPress application attached to my LinkedIn profile, so new posts are automatically added to my profile. And of course (like so many others) I have recently joined Google+ and have been submitting links to my posts on that site as well.
Social Bookmarking: promote selective links on sites like Digg or StumbleUpon.
I used to use Digg for all of my articles, and this might prompt me to start doing it again. I also like StumbleUpon, and have already submitted some of my blog posts to the site, but should probably do the rest as well.
I would also add another similar site to the assignment: Reddit.
Internal Links: what posts within your own site can you link to a given post? Have you written on a topic before? Are you writing a series? Link them up. Another way to do this is to use automatic apps, like a related-post plug-in if you are on WordPress, or a widget like LinkWithin, which I believe works on both WordPress and Blogger. You can also add a section in your sidebar with "Latest posts," "Popular posts," "Featured posts," etc. WordPress makes this very easy to do; I'm not sure about Blogger.
I do this all the time, as you can see from the "pingbacks" that appear in the comments of many of my blog posts.
Newsletters: shoot an email out to your newsletter list, if you have one. (Does anyone do a newsletter? I'd like to hear more about how often you do that, what kind of content you include, etc.)
I don't have a newsletter, and probably will not create one for the purposes of promoting a blog. In my opinion, blogging has replaced the very "Web 1.0" email newsletter list.
Other Blog's Comments Sections and Forums: leaving good-quality comments can help drive traffic to your site and leaving a link can be appropriate if it is germane to the discussion. (Just a note here, I use a plug-in called CommentLuv that automatically inserts a link to each commenter's last post, if they've signed up for the service. And since, I'm signed up, my links are left on other bloggers' sites, if they use CommentLuv.)
Unfortunately, the free version of WordPress that I use does not allow the installation of plug-ins, so I can't use CommentLuv. It sounds great, though! I am a little wary of blatant self-promotion in the comments of other blogs, but I have done this on occasion if it is appropriate and on-topic. One non-intrusive way to accomplish this would be when links are invited, such as with this blog series or with Randy Seaver's "Saturday Night Genealogy Fun" posts at Genea-Musings.
Email signatures: Darren suggests including links to recent posts, instead of just your blog's front page URL.
Not a bad idea, but not one that I will do. I would hate to have to change my signature every time I post a new article. I write a lot of emails, though so this would certainly get the word out to a lot of people.
Follow-up posts: write a new post that picks up where another left off, like a series, or adds new information to a previous post, then inter-link them.
I love series of posts. In this blog, I have written several popular series, including "Source Citations: Why Form Matters" and "Source Citations: Getting it 'Right'."
Advertise Your post: You might consider a small ad campaign for a post you are particularly proud of, using AdWords, StumbleUpon, or similar services. This probably isn't something most geneabloggers would consider, but it might be worthwhile for those who are professional genealogists.
Not too interested in buying ad space for a blog post. For one thing, as a professional genealogist, my blog is to a certain extent as much a marketing venture as it is a communications venture.
Pitch Mainstream Media: You might want to do this for a really interesting post. Again, I think this would be more suitable for the pros.
I have never pitched to mainstream media, but my posts have occasionally been picked up on their own. Most recently, my post "Five things you have to know about every record" was mentioned in the online edition of the American Library Association's American Libraries Direct.
Article Marketing: Rewrite some key articles and submit them to article marketing sites.
I am not really sure what an article marketing site is, but I have a feeling that it is what is often negatively called a "content mill." I already have two columns on Examiner.com, which is at least a few steps above a content mill, but I have a little more integrity than to submit to some of the lower-quality sites. I have read quite a few of the genealogy-related articles on these sites, and they are generally not very good.
So, I do have a few tasks to work on in conjunction with this assignment. Most notably, to submit some of my articles (if not all) to Digg, StumbleUpon, and ReddIt.

International Process Servers for Syria
The Syria Process Service Company
International Service of Process to Syria
We're closing in on half a century in business as international process servers. With 33 years of experience as an international process service company, government agencies, law firms, business organizations, celebrities, and more rely heavily on our experience. We serve other countries according to the Hague Service Convention and additional methods for countries that haven't signed with The Hague nations. We've learned from experience that every country has its own rules in place that keep cases moving smoothly.
Only trust international process servers that have experience in the nations you need your papers served in. Otherwise, the assignment will be a great risk. Our goal as your international process service company is to push for the best results and bring that feeling of justice and relief back to your everyday life. It's hard to find another international process service company and litigation support service for Syria with a similar track record of expertise and customer service because our international process servers are the leaders by far.
We're able to communicate with foreign courts on your behalf and help collect difficult signatures for you if needed. The status of your service assignment is available at all times upon request through our online portal. If you're approaching a deadline in your case, we may achieve an extension to allow you more time. International attorneys and law firms rely on us monthly to serve locations around the world quickly through our global network of registered, licensed, and bonded international process servers.
Our global team makes fast and efficient process service possible no matter the location. From our corporate office in West Palm Beach, Florida, we facilitate the production and delivery of legal documents to any location. For immediate process service to Syria, ask the experts at Signed, Sealed, and Delivered about your best options. Our experienced, licensed, and bonded Syria process servers take any questions about your Syria process service needs. Call on our process service company to make progress in your case today.
Process Service Procedures for Syria
Syria has not signed the Hague Service Convention; therefore, Letters Rogatory is the formal method.
Signed, Sealed, & Delivered also serves nations that haven't signed the Hague Service Convention. In many cases, process service is handled similarly to the United States, but assignments take slightly longer to complete as customs, traditions, and differences in work habits present unforeseeable hurdles. Nonetheless, our experience serving the legal process overseas maintains our position as the fastest international process service company in Florida.
The majority of our Syria process servers are off-duty police officers or government officials brought on to exercise their official authority to complete your process service request as fast as possible. We do all we can to complete your assignment in less than four weeks.
Advantage: The time frame is generally shorter than the formal method.
Disadvantage: Judgment "may" not be enforceable in Syria.
Letters Rogatory are a great means to establish an enforceable judgement internationally, and this method works for process service in nations not signed with the Hague Service Convention. Letters Rogatory are requests for judicial assistance and we recommend them for obtaining evidence or serving pleadings. The only downside to Letters Rogatory is the unavoidable delay involved with moving legal documents between foreign authorities. This method is time consuming and should be used only when other options are not available. In most cases, Letters Rogatory take six months to one year for the process to complete. This method should only be used if no process service treaty (i.e. The Hague Service Convention) is in force or if you are serving a Subpoena.
Advantage: In effect, creates a case in the country where the documents are served and makes judgment enforceable.
Disadvantage: Serious time delays and costs.
Legal documents are required to be translated into the official language of the country of service. It is recommended by the U.S. State Department that documents be translated, but this is only required during the formal process service method. In rare cases, a demurer may be filed if documents that have not been translated cannot be understood by the defendant. Our translation rates are provided below.
Pricing for Process Service to Syria
Service of process*
Informal: $1,000.00

You may recall my very enlightening chat with Abraham Lincoln from a few months ago.
Last week I communed with the spirit world once again in hopes of interviewing another famous dead soul. The first one to make himself known was a lovely, warm being, but not the best interview subject. I'm so sorry, Monsieur Marceau. Perhaps another time.
After bidding him adieu, I sat in silence for several minutes. Then I heard something rattle across the floor. It was the pit from a peach I had eaten earlier.
A strong breeze passed through the room even though the windows were closed. The cord from the blinds began to sway, back and forth. Back and forth. Like a…pendulum.
Waaaaaaaaaaitaminute. Pit and pendulum??
"Mr. Poe!!"
"Blast, you startled me. Now I've spilled my wine."
"Sorry, I'm just so excited, it's not every day the Master of the Macabre drops by, you know. Here, I'll pour more wine for us." I opened a nice cabernet—I thought he would enjoy that (don't ask for the details on how ghosts drink, it's very complicated and somewhat messy). We toasted and settled in for a nice chat.
MW: So how have you been? What have you been doing lately?
EAP: For the past year or so I've spent much of my time haunting the creators of The Raven in hopes of driving them mad. I think that would be quite fitting. Did you see that movie? It was an abomination.
MW: Yeah. It sucked mightily. I'm sorry, Mr. Poe, you deserved much, much better.
EAP: I agree. And please, call me Edgar. This wine is quite nice, by the way.
MW: Would you care for some more? I'll top off our glasses. I'm so glad to have this time with you—you died too young. By the way, speaking of people who died too soon, Abraham Lincoln visited me too. Have you met him?
EAP: Oh yes, Abe and I drink together regularly. He's the best wingman. That "Honest Abe" shtick of his works every time. Me, I just work the "tortured writer" angle. Chicks love that shit.
MW: So you're both basically players. Nice.
EAP: Don't hate the player. Hate the game.
MW: Whatever you say.
EAP: You know, it's too bad I'm not alive now, I'd be a fantastic movie or TV writer.
MW: Yes you would. Do you have any favorite TV shows?
EAP: Twilight Zone was genius, of course. Which reminds me, I'm having brunch with Rod Serling next week. I loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The American Horror Story series is excellent too. I also enjoyed WKRP in Cincinnati.
MW: Excuse me?
EAP: Loni Anderson. She was a hot number.
MW: I wouldn't have expected you of all people to like a sitcom.
EAP: Did you hear me? Loni Anderson. We need more wine, by the way, this bottle is empty.
MW: I'll get another. So tell me, which movie version of your stories did you like best?
EAP: I liked Pit and the Pendulum with Vincent Price. But I was disappointed that Roger Corman didn't take more liberties with the stories to give the women skimpier costumes. Vincent is in my regular poker game—he has an amazing poker face. Then there's Hazel Court, who was in a few other Corman versions. What a great rack. I keep inviting her for a little afternoon delight, with—
MW: Yeah. I don't want to hear details. Now—
EAP: Have you ever tried absinthe?
MW: Once or twice, yeah.
EAP: I happen to have a bottle with me. Be a lamb and pour us some. Better yet, let's just drink from the bottle.
MW: We've already had a lot of wine, you know.
EAP: Exactly. Now it's time for some real alcohol (takes a few swigs and drains half the bottle). Here, have a few belts. Now where was I? Oh yes, I was telling you about my torrid affair with Mata Hari. She might have been a spy but I discovered exactly which button to push to get her to reveal her secrets, if you know what I mean…
MW: Eww. No. You weren't telling me about that.
EAP: No? Oh yes, you're quite right. It was about my delicious weekend of debauchery with a buxom peasant girl from medieval France. I bent her ov—
MW: No. It wasn't.
EAP: …that was right before I met some of Nefertiti's beautiful Nubian handmaidens. Those maidens know how to use their hands all right. And don't you just love that word, Nuuuuuuuubian. Come on, say it with me.
MW: I don't want to.
EAP: And then there was the time I met up with some of the Vestal virgins from Rome. Virgin in name only, by the way. They were wild.
MW: I really don't—
EAP: But nowhere near as wild as Mary Queen of Scots and Queen Mary. I had a threesome with them many years ago. Those Catholic girls really know how to get their freak on. You're Catholic, right?
MW: Edgar! Give me that absinthe. You're skeeving me out.
EAP: What a delightful word. Skeeeeeeve.
MW: This conversation makes me want to bathe.
EAP: Excellent idea! Would you like me to scrub your—
MW: Goodnight, Edgar.
EAP: You'll invite me back soon. You'll see.
On behalf of Edgar, Madame Weebles would like to apologize to Poe fans, Roger Corman fans, Hazel Court, Catholics, Nefertiti, Nubians, medieval French peasants, Vesta and her virgins, Mata Hari, Mary Queen of Scots, Mary Tudor, and women in general. It was the absinthe talking.

DIY Tutorial: Maxi Skirt! Start to Finish Video
102 comments:
So funny you posted this. I just made one of these last weekend trying to build up my transition wardrobe. What fabric is yours? The drape is nice.ReplyDeleteReplies
It's just a cheap poly knit I had in my stash from Joann's, lol I usually use it to line knit dresses.Delete
This comment has been removed by the author.Delete
Thank you for the tutorial. I absolutely love maxi skirts and dresses. YOu look great btw.
Question: the 19.5 measurement...is that 19.5 inches of fabric I'll need to make the maxi skirt??
There's no link to the video! Or was it just me?? #desperateReplyDeleteReplies
This was a wonderful tutorial!ReplyDelete
I will be trying this out on my mothers sewing machine!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much Mimi. Thanks for taking your time and expertise to demonstrate this, it is much appreciated! I've made two skirts so far by just measuring and sewing. Now after watching this video I now know some of the things I've been doing wrong that caused me to re-sew a few times. I'm on the right track now and ready to knock out 3 more skirts!!! :-)ReplyDelete
definitly going to try this. thanks so much!ReplyDelete
Great tutorial for a beginner or an advanced sewist. Thanks for poosting.ReplyDelete
I am relatively new to your blog and don't ordinarily post comments on them, but I just have to tell you how much I love your blog! I was turned on to it by a friend who told me "there's this girl named mimi g who has a blog and her style reminds me so much of yours". Initially, I was like "whatever" but after she mentioned it a couple of times I said "let me check this girl out". And after looking at a few of your post I could see what she was talking about! Lol! I've gone back to look at many of your past blogs and have gotten so many ideas from you on how to put things together. Thanks! :-) I thought your "I'm not Halle Berry" post was pretty funny, too. I also have a short pixie cut and have been told that I look like Halle (or Nicole Ari Parker). I find it very complimentary, HOWEVER, I find myself thinking the same thing "uh, no I'm not Halle", Lol! But, like you said, I could be compared to worse, so I'm not complaining. And for you to have given birth to four children looking like you do, OMG!!! Also, I can only imagine how time consuming responding to so many post can be, so please don't feel bad if you can't thank everyone. I think one big thank you and maybe acknowledging a few people here and there will be just fine. I made a comment last week when you asked about paying more for something that was custom made and mentioned that my mother sews. She has been trying to get me to sew since I was little and I JUST DON'T HAVE THE PATIENCE FOR IT! But, you make me wish I had learned!! So anyway, again, thank you so much for the inspiration and creative ideas. I look forward to seeing your future work and your occasional vlogs. Take care of yourself and that beautiful family of yours!:-)ReplyDeleteReplies
You are funny! Thank you so much for commenting, I feel special ^_^ hope you visit again soon "twin" lolDelete

YAAAY!! Can't wait to try it!!!ReplyDelete
I just discovered your blog through Pinterest, and you have inspired me to learn how to sew. I'm budgeting for a sewing machine and I just can't wait to make this maxi-skirt (or at least attempt to) This came just in time! Wish me luck and Thank you!ReplyDelete
Love this skirt! Thanks for putting up the video so quickly!ReplyDelete

Excellent job!ReplyDelete
This is going to be my first project!!! Any fabric suggestions? I like the one you used.ReplyDelete
Thank you for doing the video tutorial. Looks so easy! I can add it to my collection of skirts to wear while in Africa. Good work!ReplyDelete
I think your tutorials are absolutely amazing! The reason being that you explain the details about simple things to an experienced sewer but to someone who is starting out it is a godsend. I have been sewing for many years but still I love that you explain play by play. You are truly gifted in teaching. You make it "seem" elementary and easy when it isn't. Thank you, for sharing with us. Truly appreciated.ReplyDelete
great tutorial thanks for the informationReplyDelete
- bela saudadeApril 10, 2012 at 6:00 PM
Mrs. Goodwin you mentioned in another post you would consider doing a seminar at some point, and I sincerely hope you do. I live too far away to take it, but I know so many young people (and people of all ages really) that want to learn to sew, and would be more than willing to purchase a great class but are discouraged by what they see (there's a lot of people out there with technical ability, but not much style or a distinctly vintage style that is very popular right now, but not everyone is in love with). You are one of the few that has both technical ability, contemporary style, AND you seem like a very high quality teacher. I do wish you well in your future and hope you will continue to pass on your gifts. If you ever decide to do any online classes via something like Craftsy I think you'd have great success also.ReplyDelete
Did you sew the tank as well? If so what pattern or was it self drafted. It is a great fit!ReplyDelete
- Kerry DApril 11, 2012 at 1:32 PM
Hi Mimi. You have re-inspired me...i'm a little obsessed now :) I have a sewing machine and taught myself on my grandmother's machine when I was younger. I let everything else get in the way but know i'm going to get back to it. I'm going to designate a space in my home to sew. Thanks! Kerry DReplyDelete

mimi,that is so beautiful and so quick to make. thank you for sharing.ReplyDelete
Thanks! I appreciate your tuts (lol). I am going to to try the maxi and the pencil skirt this weekend and will post pics. I'm 6'3" and although I do very well finding clothes for my height, I always wanted to learn how to sew. I am a novice but catch on quick. These should be easy since they don't have zippers!! Thanks for the inspiration, you and Erica B. def motivate me. Found both of you guys on PR. I can say sewing is fun and relaxes me. Once you figure out your fit it is smooth sailing. You don't want the "grandma" fits. I am not down with that! Stay Fly!! Jabs...Here's to 35 & FabReplyDelete
What type of iron ate you using? Also did you line V1250 (green dress), The V8146 (pink MK knockoff), and the B5672 (cream/off white dress? If so what did you use?ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting this video you did an excellent job of explaining the procedures!!!!!ReplyDelete
Made my skirt this past weekend and wore it to church on Sunday (post here: http://www.tiashauntee.com/2012/04/sunday-style.html). It got a ton of compliments. Thanks for the great tutorial!ReplyDelete

I think you're wonderful.xoxoReplyDelete
This is a clearly explained tutorial. I'm sure you will inspire many new sewers and you are reminding experienced ones that sometimes the simplest way is the best!ReplyDelete
I can not wait to make this once I get my own sewing machine. I think I am going to try to start it on the sewing machine I use in my sewing class. :)ReplyDelete

I love this tutorial ur making sewing so easy for us all xReplyDelete
How did I just find this blog? I will not be sleeping tonight and catching up on your blog instead. I am wondering if there would be a way to modify the waist measurement for a plus size skirt? The waist would be 40 inches and I am thinking it might just be too much fabric...kind of bulky? But maybe not!ReplyDelete
your tutorial is so great.......you do such a good job telling people little things that i would assume everyone would know......but to the point, not overwhelming info...ReplyDelete
thanks so much for sharing...

I made this skirt and it turned out great. I did not even know I wanted to learn how to sew. You have inspired me to do more with sewing. My daughters now what me to make them one.ReplyDelete
You are a fabulous teacher. Some people may know their craft but don't always know how to convey it. You are superb!!!ReplyDelete
sooo cute!!! I'm trying this this weekend! you make it look sooo simple!!!ReplyDelete
amazing..it looks so easy... maybe even i can make it..ReplyDelete
Mimi, I love this skirt and plan on making it next week. What should I do if I want to make it knee length instead of floor length?ReplyDelete
such a cracking idea! I will be making this, and the other maxi's you've kindly posted for us. For a few good reasons... 4 children = thread veins and a few varicose one added in, and the last baby of the bunch is still feeding, so easy to just drop one side and whap out the milky bar!ReplyDelete
Thanks again, I'll put a link to you on my blog, rest assured!... If you could also give me some advice regarding putting a tutorial onto a blog I'd really appreciate it too, Just can not do it!
firstname.lastname@example.com x
I just got finished with making mine! Thanks so much for the video! I agree with Mother of four, I'm still feeding my youngest from the tap and this is going to make feeding him so much easier!ReplyDelete
I might have missed this, but what width is the elastic for the waist? Thanks so much for this, and I can't wait to try and make one for myself!ReplyDelete

Hiya, OMG... Love your blog.ReplyDelete
Can't wait to have a go at making this maxi skirt. Just wanted to check what fabric you were using and also, what fabrics would you recommend to make this type of skirt. I'm after something that won't be too clingy but has a nice drop and flow to it. Great tutorial can't wait to watch more x
Hi, I just found your blog.. I've just screening the pictures, they are amazing..ReplyDelete
I really want to try making one.. unfortunately I don't have a sewing machine..
Anyway, I just wrote a post about pairing a maxi skirt in my blog. Just in case anyone needs an idea what to wear with their DIY skirts, please feel free to visit my page.. :)

Can i use any fabric?ReplyDelete
Mimi, where have you been all my life? Thanks to this careful and thorough tutorial I finally grew a pair and made a gorgeous maxi skirt out of a yukata (like a less formal kimono) I bought in Japan 10 years ago (and surprise surprise, I never wore). Now my memories from my amazing trip to Japan can be relived over and over again every time I wear this skirt, which will be a lot! I've also taken a stroll through your blog and can safely say you've got great style and except for your height, a similar shape to mine, so I look forward to trying out some of your other tutorials. Keep up the good work!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 30, 2013 at 1:21 AM
Mimi, I want to start by saying your tutorials are fabulous and I'm thankful that you share your knowledge. I'm very new to sewing so I have watched other tutorials and read several write up and I found that some of them say you should laundry you fabric before sewing with it to allow for shrinkage. While watching you I haven't heard you say anything as such, do you laundry any of your fabric first? I'm so excited about getting started I'm sure this will be my first project. My mother loves the maxi skirts but they all fall just above her ankles, now I can make these for her the length that she wants. Again thank you and keep up the fabulous work.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Mimi, for your tutorial. I found you through Pinterest. I just sewed up the maxi skirt to take on my vacation in 6 days (but who's counting?!) I can't wait to wear it! You have posted some fabulous things. Thank you so much for sharing.ReplyDelete
wow!!! soo easy n simply thank you Mimi GReplyDelete

Hi Mimi!ReplyDelete
I stumbled upon your site and I LOVE IT! My mother sews, but has no patience to teach her grown daughter, lol!! I would love to make clothes that would actually fit me. Now a days, clothes are not cut for every woman's curves. You have inspired me to take a chance. I hope I can do it. Wish me luck!
Ok...now I got it...I was wondering why the panels were so big...it is to make the skirt flow...thanks Mimi for the great tutorialReplyDelete
I have already made three of these and love them, but I was wondering about doing a short one in black material with lace over lay being long? Do you think it will work?ReplyDelete
waist measurement: at "natural waist" or at belly button (where I usually wear my clothes)? for me, there is a difference of about 5". 36"/43".ReplyDelete
THANK YOU! I need to rebuild my wardrobe with Islam-friendly clothing. This is perfect!!!! xoxReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 10, 2013 at 9:21 AM
Thank you so much. You make sewing look so much more easy and I love it. I can't wait to start....:)ReplyDelete
This looks awesome! Quick question, you cut four panels, but did you use them all? That's the part I didn't catch.ReplyDelete
Great tutorial! I am confused by the amount of yardage I need. I used your measurements and came up with 2.5 yards of fabric which seems like a lot. Instead of taking the length measurement x 2 divided by 36, shouldn't you use your waist measurement x 2 divided by 36 so the yardage is more like 1.5? I'm new to sewing so please let me know if I'm thinking about this the wrong way :)ReplyDelete

I just found your blog and let me tell you I was up until 2am this morning. Your style is so bomb and I love that you are from Chi City. I am from Maywood!! I now live in San Antonio. I need to lose some weight so that I can make this skirt/dress. I have found my new inspiration. I learned to sew last year about August and I have been so nervous about making clothes. You make it look SEW easy (pun intended). I am married to a Puerto Rican man and I am so happy to find a Latina blogger who is doing her thing that I can show to my girls as a positive role model. Keep doing your thing!!!ReplyDelete
i must say u r one bad chick!!!!!!!! luv ur style. please continue to share all of ur beautiful work. thanksReplyDelete
Made this skirt and get plenty of compliments when I wear it. Even made a shorter version for my daughter. Love it. Thanks so much for the tutorials.ReplyDelete
Hi Mimi. I subbed to your channel on youtube and actually made a skirt following this tutorial with an oversize mumu I found at goodwill for $5. The only problem I 'm having with it is the elastic and the elastic casing. I can't get the casing around the elastic to stop shifting. I used a knit elastic although I had a no-roll elastic, I thought it felt more comfortable around my waist. Should I sew the elastic to the casing to get to stop shifting? How can I avoid this in the future. Thanks.ReplyDelete

You are SO awesome. I have been looking at maxi skirt video after maxi skirt video and this one is so clear. From your explanation of the measurements to your great tip about the one-inch guide, this video has it all. Thank you SO much!ReplyDelete

Texas community college shooting leaves 3 wounded
HOUSTON — A shooting at a Texas community college wounded three people Tuesday and sent some students fleeing for safety while others with medical training helped tend the wounded.
Harris County Sheriff's Maj. Armando Tello said authorities had detained a person of interest.
Authorities also thought there could be a second shooter, according to a law enforcement official in Washington who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the ongoing case.
Students said they were studying or waiting for classes to start when they heard gunshots about 12:30 p.m. on the Lone Star College System campus about 20 miles north of downtown Houston. Some barricaded themselves in the room they were in, while others fled to nearby buildings.
Mark Zaragosa said he had just come out of an EMT class when he saw two people who were injured and stopped to help them. Officers had not yet arrived, he said.
"The two people that I took care of had just minor injuries," Zaragosa told KHOU. "One gentleman had a gunshot to the knee and the (other) actually had an entry wound to the lower buttocks area."
The college's official Twitter feed said the shooting was between two people. Tello said three people were injured, but he did not provide any details about them, such as whether they were students or included the person who was arrested.
Mark Smith, spokesman for the Harris County Emergency Corps, said three people were taken to two hospitals. He said at least two had gunshot wounds, and one appeared to have heart problems related to the shooting. He said one was in critical condition.
Smith said previously that four people had been taken to hospitals.
Reginald Neal told KPRC-TV that his nephew, Jody Neal, 24, was one of the wounded taken to Harris Health Ben Taub Hospital Emergency Center.
"All I know he got shot three times. That's all I know," Reginald Neal said. "He got shot in one of his arms, in the stomach and the leg."
The shooting comes one month after a gunman attacked an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., killing 20 children and heightening security concerns at campuses across the country. In Texas, several school districts have either implemented or are considering a plan to allow faculty to carry guns on campus. Guns are not allowed on college campuses, but the Texas Legislature this year may debate a bill that would allow them.
At least 10 police cars clustered on the campus' west side soon after the shooting. Emergency personnel tended to people on stretchers and loaded them into ambulances, while officers led students from the buildings where they sought shelter.
Keisha Cohn, 27, who also is studying to be a paramedic, said she was inside a building about 50 feet away from where the shots were fired. She heard "no less than five" shots and started running.
She fled to the campus learning center, which houses computers and study areas. Eventually, a deputy showed up and escorted people out, she said. Like many students, she ended up leaving her car on the campus, which was evacuated and closed for the day.
Daniel Flores, 19, was in a second-floor tutoring lab with about 60 people when he heard a noise that sounded "like someone was kicking a door."
Once he and others realized the sound was gunfire, they fled to the nearby student services center, where authorities kept them for about 30 minutes before letting them go.
Cody Harris, 20, said he was in a classroom with about six or seven other students waiting for a psychology class to start when he heard eight shots. He and other students looked at each other, said "I guess we should get out of here," and fled.
"I was just worried about getting out," Harris said. "I called my grandmother and asked her to pick me up."
Associated Press writer Eileen Sullivan contributed to this report from Washington.

John Harvard's brews a beer to fight cystic fibrosis
John Harvard's Brewery & Ale House in Framingham and Cambridge has released a new beer to help raise money for cystic fibrosis.
Sean's Brew is a "spring-inspired special beer" that will be brewed and sold at all of John Harvard locations (including Union Station in Rhode Island). The money raised, $1 from each pint sold, will go directly to the Cystic Fibrosi Foundation.
"John Harvard's has a long history of working with the CFF on the local level," said John Harvard's Vice President of Operations Tre Lucas. "This year, we decided to get together and expand our efforts to all four John Harvard's locations. Sean is the son of our good friend Bill Squires. He is an amazing kid whose dedication to living a full life despite the obstacles brought on by cystic fibrosis is a true inspiration to us. Bill and his family have been tirelessly raising money for the CFF for years and we are proud to join the fight."
The beer is currently available. I'll have to make a trip to the Framingham location next week and give it a try.

Jackery Supercharge Spectre 45W Usb C
The Jackery is a powerful power generator that can supply power to small USB devices as well as occasional 120V devices. It requires no hardwiring and is able to power many common appliances. With an LCD display, you can see what type of input you're getting and how much power you're generating. The unit even shows the charging temperature! The Jackery has a lot of great features. But, it's not for everyone.
The Jackery solar generator works by converting sunlight into usable energy. It can be used as an alternative power source in emergencies or for off-grid living. It stores solar energy in a battery that is very portable. The solar panels provide up to 23.7% of the power generated. The solar panels can be folded or strapped to carry and can be strapped or carried around as needed. The solar power generated from the Jackery solar generator can be used for a variety of electronic devices and appliances.
It takes approximately eight hours for the Jackery Explorer 1000 to charge from sunlight. It uses up to 163W of solar input, but the input voltage must be at 30V. This is not enough because solar panels put out 18V each. If two 100W solar panels were connected in series, the output voltage would be 36V. The device can only accept two 100W solar panels at a time. Charging from a vehicle plug will take seven or fourteen hours.
The Jackery 1000 portable generator produces 1000 watts of power and has eight plug points. It is lightweight and eco-friendly, with a long range of useful features. It does have some drawbacks, however, so it is not ideal for all situations. The Jackery 1000 is a great choice for filmmakers who need a power source to power their equipment. Although it is very easy to use, quiet, and offers many useful features, there are also some drawbacks.
The Jackery's display lets you see how much power it is getting from a power source. It also shows how much battery life is left. A graphical icon for the battery lets you see how much power has been used. You can even see the percentage of battery life that you've got left. The size of the device and how much charge it holds will affect the charging time. The energy monitoring plug provides similar results.
The Jackery Explorer can also be plugged into a wall outlet. However, the unit is designed to be recharged frequently. The manufacturer recommends charging the unit every three months. Nonetheless, the Jackery is a great solution for most people who don't need emergency power. Just keep in mind that the unit does not offer the highest power output. You should look into a portable power station. It's not a good solution if you need to power an electric car, for example.
The Jackery Explorer 1000 is equipped with three outlets for 12v appliances. With a maximum output of 10 amps, it can handle various appliances like a rice cooker. It can also be wired up to a male cigarette lighter pigtail. It can also be used to make small fuse blocks or LED puck lights. The Jackery Explorer 1000 also comes with a pure sine wave inverter of 1000 watts that can provide an additional nine-watt-hour of power.
Jackery's Explorer 1000 Watts Generator is the flagship model in its portable solar generator lineup. The sleek orange body has an integrated handle and a sturdy integrated carrying handle for portability. This unit is compatible with Jackery's SolarSaga 100-watt portable solar panels. The Explorer 1000 is highly praised by users for its power efficiency, compact size and portability. It can also be used to power many electronic devices, including the Explorer.
The Jackery Explorer 1000 is a powerful portable power station that can power many electronic devices for hours or days. The unit is about the size of a microwave and provides a steady stream of power. It is quieter than portable generators powered by gas and has many ports. The interface is user-friendly and the exterior is rugged. There is a lot to like about the Jackery Explorer 1000.

Mexico may make the name official
Country's name is actually Mexican United States
It's the one fact about Mexico that you probably didn't know. The country's name is not really Mexico, at least not officially. After gaining independence from Spain in 1821, Mexico officially became the "United Mexican States."
The American independence movement had inspired Mexican leaders of that era and since Mexico, in fact, also was a territory composed of states, the name stuck and became official in 1824.
But the reality is the official name is used only by Mexican officials who deal with diplomatic protocol and official documents pertaining to international relations. For the rest of Mexicans -- and the world -- the country is simply known as Mexico.
That's why outgoing Mexican President Felipe Calderon on Thursday sent to the Mexican Congress a piece of legislation to change the country's name officially to simply Mexico.
Calderon, a conservative president better known for his war on drug cartels and organized crime, is literally in his last days in office. Enrique Pena Nieto, who was elected in July, takes office on December 1.
It's still too early to know if the new Mexican Congress will quickly act on Calderon's bill or tackle other more pressing matters like security and the economy.
In announcing his decision to propose officially changing his country's name, Calderon said Thursday the name United Mexican States was originally taken because back in 1824 the United States of America was an example of democracy and liberty for the new independent nations in the Americas.
"It's time that we Mexicans retake the beauty and simplicity of our motherland's name: Mexico. (It's) a name that we use when chanting or singing, a name that identifies us throughout the world and that makes us proud," Calderon said.
"Mexico" is a word first used by the Aztecs in their original nahuatl language. The indigenous tribe founded a city called Tenochtitlan in the valley now occupied by the modern Mexico City. That original city was conquered by the Spanish in 1521.
Mexico gained its independence from Spain in 1821. In Spanish, Mexicans pronounce the "x" in Mexico as a hard "h."

David Petraeus scandal: Head of Senate Intelligence Committee Dianne Feinstein's fury at FBI over investigation
Members of US Congress said Sunday they want to know more details about the FBI investigation that revealed an extramarital affair between ex-CIA Director David Petraeus and Paula Broadwell, questioning when the retired general popped up in the FBI inquiry, whether national security was compromised and why they weren't told sooner.
"We received no advanced notice. It was like a lightning bolt," said Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, who heads the Senate Intelligence Committee.
The FBI was investigating harassing emails sent by David Petraeus biographer and girlfriend Paula Broadwell to a second woman. That probe of Paula Broadwell's emails revealed the affair between her and David Petraeus. The FBI contacted David Petraeus and other intelligence officials, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper asked Petraeus to resign.
A senior U.S. military official identified the second woman as Jill Kelley, 37, who lives in Tampa, Florida, and serves as a social liaison to the military's Joint Special Operations Command. The U.S. official said the coalition countries represented at the military's Central Command in Tampa gave Jill Kelley an appreciation certificate on which she was referred to as an "honorary ambassador" to the coalition, but she has no official status.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the case publicly, said Jill Kelley is known to drop the "honorary" part and refer to herself as an ambassador.
The military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation, said Jill Kelley had received harassing emails from Paula Broadwell, which led the FBI to examine her email account and eventually discover her relationship with David Petraeus.
A former associate of David Petraeus confirmed the target of the emails was Jill Kelley, but said there was no affair between the two, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the retired general's private life. The associate, who has been in touch with David Petraeus since his resignation, says Jill Kelley and her husband were longtime friends of Petraeus and wife, Holly.
David Petraeus resigned while lawmakers still had questions about the September 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate and CIA base in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. Lawmakers said it's possible that David Petraeus will still be asked to appear on Capitol Hill to testify about what he knew about the U.S. response to that incident.
Rep. Peter King, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said the circumstances of the FBI probe smacked of a cover-up by the White House.
"It seems this [the investigation] has been going on for several months and, yet, now it appears that they're saying that the FBI didn't realize until Election Day that General Petraeus was involved. It just doesn't add up," said Peter King, R-N.Y.
David Petraeus, 60, quit Friday after acknowledging an extramarital relationship. He has been married 38 years to Holly Petraeus, with whom he has two adult children, including a son who led an infantry platoon in Afghanistan as an Army lieutenant.
Paula Broadwell, a 40-year-old graduate of the U.S. Military Academy and an Army Reserve officer, is married with two young sons.
David Petraeus' affair with Paula Broadwell will be the subject of meetings Wednesday involving congressional intelligence committee leaders, FBI deputy director Sean Joyce and CIA deputy director Michael Morell.
David Petraeus had been scheduled to appear before the committees on Thursday to testify on what the CIA knew and what the agency told the White House before, during and after the attack in Benghazi. Republicans and some Democrats have questioned the U.S. response and protection of diplomats stationed overseas.
Michael Morell was expected to testify in place of David Petraeus, and lawmakers said he should have the answers to their questions. But Dianne Feinstein and others didn't rule out the possibility that Congress will compel David Petraeus to testify about Benghazi at a later date, even though he's relinquished his job.
"I don't see how in the world you can find out what happened in Benghazi before, during and after the attack if General Petraeus doesn't testify," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
Lindsey Graham, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, wants to create a joint congressional committee to investigate the U.S. response to that attack.
Dianne Feinstein said she first learned of David Petraeus' affair from the media late last week, and confirmed it in a phone call Friday with Petraeus. She eventually was briefed by the FBI and said so far there was no indication that national security was breached.
Still, Dianne Feinstein called the news "a heartbreak" for her personally and U.S. intelligence operations, and said she didn't understand why the FBI didn't give her a heads up as soon as David Petraeus' name emerged in the investigation.
"We are very much able to keep things in a classified setting," she said.
"At least if you know, you can begin to think and then to plan. And, of course, we have not had that opportunity."
Jason Clapper was told by the Justice Department of the Petraeus investigation at about 5 p.m. on Election Day, and then called David Petraeus and urged him to resign, according to a senior U.S. intelligence official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly.
FBI officials say the committees weren't informed until Friday, one official said, because the matter started as a criminal investigation into harassing emails sent by Paula Broadwell to another woman.
Concerned that the emails he exchanged with Paula Broadwell raised the possibility of a security breach, the FBI brought the matter up with David Petraeus directly, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation.
David Petraeus decided to quit, though he was breaking no laws by having an affair, officials said.
Dianne Feinstein said she has not been told the precise relationship between David Petraeus and the woman who reported the harassing emails to the FBI.
Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss, the top Republican on the Senate intelligence committee, called David Petraeus "a great leader" who did right by stepping down and still deserves the nation's gratitude. He also didn't rule out calling David Petraeus to testify on Benghazi at some point.
"He's trying to put his life back together right now and that's what he needs to focus on," Saxby Chambliss said.

3 new infections in Michigan from bad steroids
Associated Press
The Petoskey News-Review
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan health officials have reported three more infections in the past week linked to contaminated steroids supplied by a Massachusetts pharmaceutical company.
The Michigan Department of Community Health says at least 244 people have been infected with illnesses including fungal meningitis that are part of a national disease outbreak. The steroids are used in injections to treat neck and back pain.
The department reports that at least 15 people have died in the outbreak, unchanged from last Monday.
As of Friday, the department says there have been 68 cases of fungal meningitis, 153 epidural abscesses, one stroke and 22 peripheral joint infections in Michigan tied to the steroids.

Alaska man behind murders said to have killed for pleasure, FBI says
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Confessed serial killer Israel Keyes admitted he enjoyed killing people, but couldn't or wouldn't give investigators a more meaningful answer when quizzed why he did it.
"There were just times, a couple of times, where we would try to get a why," said Anchorage Police officer Jeff Bell, who helped interrogate Keyes for hours.
"He would have this term, he would say, 'A lot of people ask why, and I would be, like, why not?"' Bell said.
Keyes confessed to killing eight people across the United States, but alluded to additional murders, FBI Special Agent Jolene Goeden and Bell told The Associated Press.
"Based on some of the things he told us, and some of the conversations we had with him, we believe the number is less than 12," Goeden said. "We don't know for sure. He's the only one who could have ultimately answered that."
They may never know the true number.
Keyes slit his wrist and strangled himself with bedding Sunday at the Anchorage Correctional Facility. He was facing a March trial on federal murder charges in the kidnapping and death of an 18-year-old Samantha Koenig, who was abducted from an Anchorage coffee stand Feb. 1.
He also wasn't going to stop. Authorities said he have weapons caches or body disposal kits stashed across the country.
One such disposal kit was found north of Anchorage. It included a shovel, plastic bags and bottles of Drano, which he told authorities would speed the decomposition of bodies.
A murder kit found in upstate New York had weapon parts, a silencer, ligatures, ammunition and garbage bags.
Keyes said other murder kits are hidden in Washington state, Wyoming, Texas and, investigators believe, somewhere in the Southwest, possibly Arizona.
Goeden and Bell conducted up to 40 hours of interviews with Keyes after his March arrest in Texas. During that time, Keyes confessed to killing Koenig, along with Bill and Lorraine Currier in Vermont, and five other people -- although details for those victims were scarce.
The interviews also revealed Keyes' motivation, which was simple, Goeden and Bell said.
"He enjoyed it. He liked what he was doing," Goeden said. "He talked about getting a rush out of it, the adrenalin, the excitement out of it."
Keyes also liked seeing coverage of his crimes in the media, and he appeared to get a thrill out of talking about some of them with investigators, Goeden and Bell said.
His crimes started small with burglaries and thefts -- until the urge escalated to murder.
Bell said Keyes told investigators the first violent crime he committed was a sexual assault in Oregon, in which he let the victim go.
"He planned on killing her but didn't," Bell said.
Keyes said the rape occurred sometime between 1996 and 1998 along the Deshutes River near Maupin, Ore., after he got the girl away from her friends. The girl was between the ages of 14 and 18, and would be in her late 20s or 30s now. No police reports were filed, and the FBI is seeking more information on the crime.
Of the five other murders Keyes confessed to, four were in Washington state and one occurred on the East Coast, with the body disposed of in New York.
In the case of the Curriers, authorities say Keyes flew from Alaska to Chicago on June 2, 2011, rented a car and drove almost 1,000 miles to Essex, Vt.
There, he carried out a "blitz" style attack on the Curriers' home, bound the couple and took them to an abandoned house. Bill Currier was shot, and his wife was sexually assaulted and strangled.
Keyes immediately returned to Alaska, and followed the case on his computer by monitoring Vermont media. The couple's bodies were never found after the house was demolished and taken to a landfill.
Leaving the area shortly after a murder was a familiar tactic for Keyes. After he abducted Koenig, he took her to a shed at his Anchorage home, sexually assaulted her and strangled her.
Keyes then left the next day for a two-week cruise, storing Koenig's body in the shed. Upon his return, he dismembered the body and disposed of it in a lake north of Anchorage. He was later arrested in Texas after using Koenig's debit card.
Koenig was his only known victim in Alaska. Goeden and Bell said he never explained why his broke his own rule of never killing anyone in the town where he lived because it's easier to be connected to such a killing.
The only mistake Keyes said he made was letting his rental car be photographed by an ATM when withdrawing money in Texas.
Unlike his earlier killings, the deaths of the Curriers and Koenig received a lot of news coverage.
"He was feeding off the media attention in the end," Bell said.
That wasn't the only change. His time between murders was growing shorter.
"He talked about that time period in between crimes, that over the last few years, that became quicker," Goeden said.
During their interviews, Keyes was willing to talk about the Koenig and Currier killings since he knew authorities had evidence against him.
"It was chilling to listen to him. He was clearly reliving it to a degree, and I think he enjoyed talking about it," Bell said of the Koenig and Currier deaths. But in the other cases, Keyes wasn't as forthcoming because he knew investigators had little on them.
Keyes, a construction contractor, told investigators that they knew him better than anyone, and that this was the first time he'd ever spoken about what he called his double life.
"A couple of times, he would kind of chuckle, tell us how weird it was to be talking about this," Bell said.
Even though he was talking to investigators, Keyes didn't want his name made public in any of the other investigations, especially the Curriers, because of the fallout of publicity. He threatened to withhold information if his name got out.
"If there was nobody else that he was concerned about, I think he wanted his story out there. He wanted people to know what he did," Goeden said. "What he was worried about is the impact that was going to have on the people that cared about him and were close to him."
Keyes will be buried Sunday in Washington state.

Microsoft quietly fixed a flaw in Hotmail's password reset system that allowed anyone to reset the password of any Hotmail account last Friday. The company was notified of the flaw on April 20th and responded with a fix within hours—but not until after widespread attacks, with the bug apparently spreading "like wild fire" in the hacking community.
Hotmail's password reset system uses a token system to ensure that only the account holder can reset their password: a link with the token is sent to an account linked to the Hotmail account, and clicking the link lets the account owner reset their password. However, the validation of these tokens isn't handled properly by Hotmail, allowing attackers to reset passwords of any account.
Initially hackers were offering to crack accounts for $20 a throw. However, the technique became publicly known and started to spread rapidly with Web and YouTube tutorials showing the technique popping up across the Arabic-speaking Internet. Videos showing the technique (or at least, something close to it) can be found as far back as April 6th.
As well as targeted attacks against specific Hotmail users, there was also brute force cracking of accounts with two- and three-letter e-mail addresses.
Researchers at Vulnerability Lab discovered the flaw on April 6th, and they reported it to Microsoft on April 20th, with the patch following shortly after. It's also claimed that the flaw was discovered by a Saudi hacker at dev-point.com, and there's certainly plenty of discussion of the attack on that site during the period between Vulnerability Labs' claimed discovery and the decision to notify Microsoft.
If your account has been hacked with this technique, you'll know it instantly, as your password will no longer work. Getting it back may be more difficult, as the standard first step in any account hack is to reset all the recovery information so that the original owner can't retrieve it.
