Sewing acronyms

Well, after two weeks of serious blogging on corsets, time to lighten up!

Here is a list of sewing acronyms I've collected from all over the web.  Hope they bring a smile.

SMAD = Sewing Machine Acquisition Disorder

THAD = Thread Acquisition Disorder

PAD = Pattern Addiction Disease

FAD = Fabric Acquisition Disorder

UFOs = UnFinished Objects—they exist for most sewers

FART = Fabric Acquisition Road Trip

OOP = Out of Print – Refers to patterns.

OOAK = One of a Kind

OSMG = Old Sewing Machine Guy

PHD = Project Half Done

PIGS = Projects In Grocery Sacks

SABLE = Stash Accumulation Beyond Life Expectancy

STASH = Special Treasures All Secretly Hidden

TGIF = Thank God It’s Finished!

TOAD = Trashed Object Abandoned in Disgust

UFO = Un-Finished Object

WIP = Work In Progress

WOMBAT = Waste of Time, Money and Batting

FBA = full bust alteration; changing the bustline on a paper pattern

EBA = enormous bottom adjustment; similar to above, but much larger measurements



 I love them all, but TGIF is the one that makes me the happiest.
