Hey, folks! Normally I try to help you, but now I wonder if you could help me!
If you buy Fabrics-store.com’s 57" wide 5.3 oz linen, can you tell me which color you bought and how much it shrinks in width after pre-shrinking via hot washing and drying? Length too would be ideal, but I know that measuring long pieces is much more of a pain.
I’ve gone through a dozen bolts of the stuff, but I’m working on a pattern puzzle while I’m traveling, and width after pre-shrinking is the key bit of information I forgot to write down.
I think I generally lose an inch on a hot wash and dry and end up with 56″ wide fabric, but I wish I could get someone to confirm this.
So I went to Animenext this weekend to work as staff, for the 6th year running. I was an orange shirt, which means we take care of panels and tech issues. Basically we set up everything and anything that has to do with video or audio.
Me being a giant YoI fan, I made sure I was running tech for both panels. First one was a few small disasters, and involved me sprinting to the tech HQ and back so I didn’t miss anything. However that was a Q and A and was pretty bad. Turns out, no one had any good questions, so we just had a bunch of questions about aspects of the show these people had nothing to do with. Then they showed some not yet released footage from the new DVD. that part was awesome.
Second one was an actual panel. They all took turns going over what they worked on, and we saw exclusive hand drawn stuff on our overhead display. In addition, the skating animator was there. He hadn’t brought anything with him, but he casually whipped out a pad on which he had drawn a skate sequence at 3am the night before. Like a 50 page flip book.
They made no mention of a second season, but at the very end, right before they left, they did casually mention that there was going to be a movie. Though I guess this want news to anyone who was actually still paying attention, it definitely perked me up.
