  • FIREMAN HAT, DIAPER COVER, BOOTS and SUSPENDERS PATTERN by Expertcraftss
    FIREMAN HAT, DIAPER COVER, BOOTS AND SUSPENDERS PATTERN by ExpertCraftss http://www.etsy.com/shop/ExpertCraftss Email: [email protected] Thank you for purchasing this pattern! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact as above. Good luck and have fun creating this fun set! Maria Pickard MATERIALS NEEDED: H hook, I hook and J hook, depending on the size you wish to make. Red, black and silver yarn. I use "I love this yarn" medium worsted weight. I have also used red heart yarn which actually allows the hat to be a bit more sturdy but is definitely not as soft on baby. Buttons: 2 large for front of diaper cover. 4 smaller buttons for inside diaper cover so that suspenders can be attached. Size of buttons is related to your stitching and what will best fit and hold the flaps and suspenders in place. I try to get the largest button that will fit through stitching for front, 1 inch. There are no specific button holes so test your buttons. I force my buttons through so I know they will not slip out when on baby. Tapestry needle. Difficulty: Intermediate. Stitches used: Ch, sc, hdc, dc, FPdc, sl st. HAT: For newborn use H hook. For 3-6 month, use I hook. For 6-9 month, use I hook and follow directions in bold below. For 9-12 month, use J hook.

  • Joseph Smith Period Clothing 145
    Carma de Jong Anderson: Joseph Smith Period Clothing 145 Joseph Smith Period Clothing: The 2005 Brigham Young University Exhibit Carma de Jong Anderson Early in 2005, administrators in Religious Education at Brigham Young University gave the green light to install an exhibit (hopefully my last) in the display case adjacent to the auditorium in the Joseph Smith Building. The display would showcase the clothing styles of the life span of the Prophet Joseph Smith and the people around him (1805–1844). There were eleven mannequins and clothing I had constructed carefully over many years, mingled with some of my former students’ items made as class projects. Those pieces came from my teaching the class, “Early Mormon Clothing 1800–1850,” at BYU several years ago. There were also a few original pieces from the Joseph Smith period. During the August 2005 BYU Education Week, thousands viewed these things, even though I rushed the ten grueling days of installation for something less than perfect.1 There was a constant flow of university students passing by and stopping to read extensive signage on all the contents shown. Mary Jane Woodger, associate professor of Church History and Doctrine, reported more young people and faculty paid attention to it than any other exhibit they have ever had. Sincere thanks were extend- ed from the members of Religious Education and the committee plan- ning the annual Sydney B. Sperry October symposium. My scheduled lectures to fifteen to fifty people, two or three times a week, day or night for six months (forty stints of two hours each), were listened to by many of the thirty thousand viewers who, in thank-you letters, were surprised at how much information could be gleaned from one exhibit.

In the educational setting, female students are required to take additional steps to ensure that they are not disrupting the learning environment at school (Glickman, 2016). These additional steps are laid out in educational policies like dress codes, which state the dress code rules, the rationales for those dress code rules, and the sanctions attached to dress code violations.
