Hi, you guys! Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel, Inside the Hymn. All right, you guys. Our summer patterns are coming out quickly and I am here today to go through all of the new Vogue patterns. And if there anything like what we're seeing in these slides, we are in for a real treat. So let's get to them. This is Vogue Summer. Oh my god, so cute. Okay, let's check out the first one. We have this Nikola Fanetti special occasion dress and it looks like a cute little tea length dress with this really interesting like piping slash maybe boning. Let's go to the full product page. Lined dress has exposed center back zipper, cute, shaped front and back seams with purchased piping, and purchased grosgrain ribbon hem finish. Does that mean this hem? No provisions, okay. The one wonderful thing about Vogue patterns is you get lots and lots of pictures, so we can take a look at all of these. It also has like a little itty bitty spaghetti strap. Here's the shaping they're talking about. Is that a pocket or just a seam line? Let's go to the line drawings. Interesting, it doesn't really look like much on the line drawing, right? It looks way cuter on her, but definitely a fit and flair. And if you're used to wearing something with a waist seam and this is like kind of throwing you off because there isn't one, it's kind of like an empire waist, but it's still very fitted through here and flares out right at the waistline, like right where it should. It starts flaring out into a little a-line. It does have a center front seam, which is interesting, which is what's creating this little line here. I can't say that I love that, but that's easy enough to take out. Maybe they were trying to make the yardage requirements a little bit lesser. Yeah, because it's taking two, almost two and a half yards depending on what size you are. But they're recommending jacquard, metal assay, pk, and shantung. Yeah, I mean obviously those, but I mean you could go in a more casual fabric like a sear sucker or like any of those cotton woven would also work. It just wouldn't be as special occasion. Yeah, cool. We don't get a lot of information in terms of like finished garment measurements like we do in some of the other pattern companies, but these are the sizes four to 12 and then 12 to 20. It's cute. What do you guys think? I also really like her hair. Okay, next on the list is this Isaac Miss Rahe dress. I love his designs. He tends to do a lot of bridal stuff, so this could maybe be like a version of a bridesmaid's dress possibly, but it's a cute little fit and flare like skater dress really. It's nothing spectacular in terms of design except for whatever this little thing is and I'm seeing a little something on the back as well. That's very interesting. I like that. And then yeah, this little deep V with a band. This looks like there's a little snap there. Dresses fit it through bust and fully lined with asymmetrical pleat. Asymmetrical pleat and tie details, forward right shoulder seam, deep V back with tab, invisible side zipper.  I mean, it has a side zip, so I don't know what that is. Can you zoom on this? Oh yeah. Yeah. Maybe it's just tacked down and oddly done. Yeah, I can't really say, but I do think it's really cute and they did a good job with it. That's really fun. Here's a closer, closer up picture. But the pattern piece looks really interesting, but yeah, I can't tell if that's just like stuck on or if it's part of the bodice. I'm getting the feeling it's stuck on, right? Is that what you guys think? But scanner dresses are always classics, I think. Always cute. Okay. Yeah, invisible side zip. I love a side zip. Yardage. Okay, crape. Yes, crape back satin, rayon chalet, georgia. Yeah. All of those sizes four to 12 and then 12 to 20. You need an invisible zipper and only one hook and eye, so that must be tacked down with thread. And then look, you don't even need like a ton of fabric for it. Great. Super cute. Isaac, love it. Now we have this Badgley Mishka. Very ladylike.  Like I love this belt. And the princess seams are carried through the skirt as well. It's like a center back zipper and then that belt just like snaps over the back. I might get this pattern just for the belt. It's really cute. You could make that out of, you know, any fabric and then attach it to any dress with a, you know, defined waist. Line dress is close feeding through bust with invisible back zipper, wide off the shoulder collar, they're calling it. Back skirt slit and self fabric belt with synthetic leather backing and purchased snaps. Whoa. Yeah. Little carriers. Yeah. I mean, I don't love this like fitted silhouette on myself, but I do think this is a very lovely dress and it would be great for lots of different events. Yeah. It's very striking in red. Good call on that color. All right. Claire Schaefer has designed this one. This is, let's see. It's hard to tell. That looks like a lot of different, like bias cut pieces, very fitted and then like a little bit of a flared skirt, kind of a drop waist or maybe even a mermaid style. Oh, well, there's this little description down here. Multi seams create fit bias skirt. That's cool bias skirt. Invisible zipper instructions written by Claire Schaefer herself and then also in French dresses fit it through bust with lined and underlined body, invisible back zipper, neck facings and seam detailing. Yeah. You can't really make any adjustments to the waist or hip area. You just pick a size and go with it. But look, there's all the different things. That's fun. That's a lot of fun. And then, yeah, it doesn't take a ton of fabric because you're basically cutting it all up. Wow. Okay. So you have your green dress fabric, right? This like lime green and then you have a whole basically the same amount for underlining and then you have lining. This is an expensive dress. 6 to 14 and then 14 to 22. They are saying for the like the self fabric, the outer fabric, silk crepe, wool crepe, wool jersey. And then for the lining, silk, charmeuse or china silk. And then the underlining is silk or canta. Oh, fancy Claire. I guess it is custom couture. So yeah, you'd have one like knockout dress at the end though. All right, this is Zandra Rhodes. Oh, okay. So we have like a batwing, like kimono inspired maybe with a very deep V. They're calling it special occasion dress and sash. Pullover dress is very loose fitting through bust with an all in one kimono sleeve, roost elastic waist and contract contrast binding. I'm trying to read each part individually so I can fully take it in. I think this is contrast binding right here. Okay, bodice underlay and inner casing and applied sequin and bead detailing and then a sash. I don't even see the bead detailing, but geez. Oh, right there. Oh, her sleeve. Yeah, that's a lot for, I don't know, it could be cool peak. I don't know. I can't tell. I can't tell if I'm thinking no, but someone could definitely prove me wrong. I knew it would be cuter in the line drawings. Yeah. This cinched in waist is really giving me a lot of promising good vibes, but I don't know that she's modeling it very well. But if it is for a special occasion, that could be pretty cool. And then I think this is where that bodice underlay is. I think you can see it right here. That's how come it's not sheer in the bodice. But are all these little gems applied on sequin and bead detailing? Is that what that is? That's kind of cool. Interesting. I mean, Zandra always does like really interesting silhouettes, so that doesn't surprise me. Okay, here's a very easy vogue designed by Vogue. Special occasion dress again. What's one of the most special occasion dresses for summer? Maybe they're thinking people are going to get started on their holiday stuff now. Okay, so the very slim fitting princess seam. This is definitely a mermaid where the seam is at the knee and then you have a little flair. There's this little flouncy sleeve thing. Yep. Yeah. I don't like that fabric at all. It's almost as trying to look like Asian dresses fitted through bust and hip with lined body, unlined sleeve, and flounce purchased by his tape to finish armhole edge. Narrow hems and length and trim variations. Okay. So when they made it in the black version, they did like a sequin trim. You can see that there. Or you can do it without a trim at all, which I guess is this version. All right. Okay. Not for me, but do you guys like it? I guess if we all had somewhere to go in it, embroidered lace, crepe, rayon, shally. What do you think? Oh, that's embroidered lace. It is pretty. And they just lined it with the nude. Interesting. Next up is another Zandra Rose design. This one is a special occasion dress and sash. Okay. It's like a layered thing. I like the sleeve. Oh my God. Two pictures. I'm walking back. Pullover dress is very loose fitting through bust with split dolmen sleeve. I, like I said, I like that a lot. Elasticized waist. And you know, I like that. And tiered straight skirt. That's where it's kind of losing me. Slip B is fitted through bust with neck and armhole binding and bust darts. Sash C is double.  I mean, maybe in a, in a less sheer fabric. I mean, I'm feeling like, oh, that's real short. Oh, and you know what else? This, like, this line here is the slip. So maybe you could make that longer, but then that would disrupt this first tier. I don't know. It's just very sheer. Chiffon, Georgette and Gauze. And then for the belt, create back satin or charmous. It's an interesting look. Look at all that yardage because it's like basically three dresses. Oh, the sizes four to 12 and 12 to 20. All right, another very easy Vogue special occasion dress. This one is a halter with a little neckband thing and some gathering. And then these long princess seams into like a kind of a flared skirt. Here it is in a more casual fabric, sure link. Oh, those are pleats. Yeah, kind of like a racer back. Big darts here. That's nice. Her little booty looks nice. Dresses close fitting through bust and fully lined with high collar, pleat detail at neck, back zipper with hooks and knives and length variations. That would be really cute. I don't know about for me though. This might be a little too slim for my liking. It doesn't seem to look weird on her. It doesn't seem to flare out too, too much. And I'd just feel most comfortable in like a flare. But in the casual fabric, it's very wearable. Rayon Shelley, crepe and Georgette. And then the longer version is almost four and a half yards. And the shorter version is just a little over three yards. Plus you need a lining fabric, which is about the same amount. Actually a little bit more for some reason. I don't know that I've ever seen. Oh, maybe they're assuming the lining is narrower. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The lining 45 inches, not all linings are narrow. So probably just by whatever quantity this is. Just say the sizing four through 12 and then 12 through 20. All right, Tracy Reese in a Mrs. Dress, very resort with those blue palms. It was got an empire waist. And then like, is this like a cowl neck? And then like wider straps. It's kind of cool. It's like understated sexy. The back has crisscross straps and exposed zipper. Some kind of waist tie. She's kind of covering it all up, though. Maybe those waist ties start in the side seam. Is it their side picture? I still can't really tell on that one either. It's like on top or not. Online dress is fitted through bust with exposed back zipper, grow green ribbon seam finish. They're really liking that right now. Cowl neck front, front slit, encased waist ties. Encased waist. Shaped hem and very narrow hems. No above waist adjustments. Oh, and I didn't even notice that little bit of gathering there. Oh, in a ruffle. I didn't notice that either. Is this kind of cute? What do we think? Yeah, I like it with flats. I can definitely see it like on vacation or something. Being very vacationy. Let's see what the crepe dosheen or any crepe really. Rayon Shally, lightweight linen. Yeah, there's like a lot more fabric you could use, but breezy, blowy, flowy, blowy and flowy. Let's see. Yeah, he needs a lot of fabric for it and some interfacing, but that's really it. I was curious about it not being lined. So I'm guessing this is self-lined because you can't just like fold over a hem. This must be doubled is all I can think. Hmm. All right. Sizes are four through 12 and then 12 through 20. I'm guessing that's pretty standard. All right. Here's a very easy bow with custom fit. That means that your cup sizes. So A, B, C, D, there's different pattern pieces for the different cup sizes. So if you're fuller bust or smaller bust, you will find really great fit in these patterns. But this is a jacket and belt, which is interesting because not necessarily that important, especially for a jacket that's this open for you to be so concerned about your cup sizes. But I mean, whatever, who am I to say? That's a cute version. That's fun. What do we think about this long printed jacket over like prop jeans? Is that a cute look? I don't know. I'm thinking about these like big sleeves and this big thing and this big belt. I don't love the choice of this eyelet. That's for sure. Online jacket fitted through bust has bodice front finished with purchase bias tape. Hook and eye closure at waist. Okay. And length and sleeve variations. Hmm. A has a self-fabric tie belt. C has lower sleeve and ruffle cut crosswise from Scout that said that you can like use the selvedge edge as your hem. I mean, it's like way cuter in the drawings, am I right? Yeah, I just don't know if this is really my style. Very, not even trendy, just very like specific. Ray on Charlie, broad cloth, crepe, double edge scallop eyelet. Yes, still hold that.  Maybe one day I'm feeling like really stylish. I just don't know. I think I would, I would just rather turn all that fabric into a dress and not have to worry about all these layers underneath. Comes in extra small, small, medium and then large and extra large. And then, yeah, look, four yards, six yards. Yeah, you need a ton. Okay. Now we have Mrs. Tunic dress and belt. Again, with this asymmetrical placket thing. This is actually like a legit shirt dress turned on its side. So I 100% see the direction they're mowing with this. I don't know. It kind of is a little bit sloppy and confusing, but I don't hate it either. It could be really cool. Here it is at the top. Tucked in. That actually looks even cooler. Here it is without the belt and knee length. Also cute. That looks more like a jacket. That's a little linebacker. Great. That's just very like, it has potential. Tunic or dress with asymmetrical button front is loose fitting has shaped collar and neckband button cuffs and length and hand variations. And then your belt has little D-rings. Is the, is this the tunic that's tucked in this? That's a lot of fabric to shove into those slim fitting pants. Just saying. Oh man. Okay. Uh, cotton shirt and cray blend in. Sure. 15 buttons. Two D-rings and a lot of fabric. Yeah. I mean, I'm getting like sort of Meghan Markle vibes in this one, but I just don't know if I'm like chic enough to be Meghan Markle. I do think this one's kind of cute though. Did I skip the line art? Yeah. It just has a back yoke and some bust darting. Okay. Very easy bow. Mrs. Dress and Belt. This one has the drop shoulder button front collar belt below the knee hem length. Here it is in like contrast. It's kind of cool with the floral on the stripes. Here it is a little sleeve. I guess that's a maxi length. I think this is linen, which is why it's so stiff looking. Button front dress is very loose fitting through bust with collar neckband built on placket carriers and tie belt with length, sleeve and fabric variations. ABC is a swim dress with a full skirt. D, E and F has a straight skirt with side slits. Purchase by his taper arm holes. Contrast left front right back and belt facing for this little contrasting A and D. What do you all think of this one? It looks a little stiff on her, but again, I think that's because they used a linen. Probably didn't pre-wash it because, you know, they were like in an office. I don't know. Do they, I don't know. I never thought of that before. Do they pre-wash when they make these samples? I don't know. It's actually kind of cool or un-belted. Do you all agree? Like, I really don't hate it un-belted at all. This has like, it's a rectangular box, so that would never ever fit me. I would have to make it A-line and then that defeats the whole purpose. Like, might as well just make this one. But if you're slim or have like boyish figure, this is for you. All right, what else? Do we go over everything? Did I tell you the sizes? Six to 14 and then 14 to 22. I have no idea how they decide those. Maybe depending on what can fit on a certain number of sheets of tissue or something, this is bringing up so many questions for me this pattern. Broadcloth, poplin, rayon chile, chambray. I really think that they use linen for theirs. Do I look how wrinkly it is? Maybe like some kind of linen blend or something. But any of those kinds of wobeins would look good. All right. Next up, we have a lot more is vest, jacket, and pants. Okay, so this must be like the pajamas as clothes trend, which really was very popular starting last year. I guess it's being carried over a little bit. I don't, I literally almost just said I don't hate it. And then I clicked this arrow and saw whatever this is. This is wild. Is that cute? It couldn't be, but it could also be weird. Weird or cute. This, I don't know who that looks good on. You know, with like the, I don't know what's happening. Okay, there's the like hip, cool, stylish, you know, matchy, matchy look. Similar to what she's got. Apparently this is trim as is this and this. Right? I mean, she crawled out of bed to go to dinner. But how is this related to this? That's so strange. Vests and jacket are unlined with neckband, narrow hems, length and sleeve variations. Pants and D are fitted through hip with a lot of size waist, full leg, narrow hems and length variations. Sleeveless with armhole bands, long sleeve with purchased trim, crop length front slits. Yeah, I mean, I guess they're the same. I mean, like the same pattern, so why not? But they're just so different looking. Like this is made out of like silky types and this is made out of like denim. Or at the very least, chambray. This is one of those that I would be tempted to make, but I would be so worried I would just waste all my money and like hate it in the end. Like it would be a real risk to try these or, you know what I mean? Crape comma back satin. This is supposed to not have a comma. Crape back satin is one thing. Satine? No. Rayon and Shelly. I'm so confused by that. Ribbon trim in elastic. Oh, and then they come in extra small, small medium and in large, extra large. Like I don't know about that for pants, but I guess they're supposed to be very loose fitting. Oh, I can see a lot of people like really making some very unfortunate looking garments out of this pattern. You don't need a lot of fabric. Yeah, not loving it. I don't think too risky for me. Again, not really cool enough to pull something like that off. Okay, here's a Rachel Comey. That's kind of cute.  This, I don't know about tying it. I think it would have been just as cute left untied, but I really like this little sleeve in certain thing with the banded sleeve. That's kind of cute. Certainly looks comfortable. Oh, two women and an Asian one. Diversity. Back yoke. Okay. Oh, it's advanced. Interesting. Very loose fitting pullover tunic has front slit. Okay, with binding neck binding and tie ends, self lined front and back yolks, sleeve band with continuous lap and button and loop closure, shaped hem and fringe seams. Oh, and the pants. I didn't realize you got the pants too. Pants are semi fitted through hip with straight leg. The two things that I never want to see in pants. Invisible side zipper, grow grain, ribbon, waistband, and welds. Interesting. Hem facing purchased by his binding seam finish. What is this center front pullover tunic has front slit with binding? I guess that's this. Well, and then there are your pants. So what they're saying is you use a ribbon as a waistband instead of fabric. So your waistband is straight across. It's not curved, can never be curved. Yeah, no, this would never fit me. For the top gauze, shally crepe machine for the pants, gabardine, crepe vexatine, pompting it. Interesting. And then your lining fabrics. All these notions, 6 to 14, 14 to 22. I wish the pants weren't in black. It's just really hard to see. All right, Marcy Tillton, another Vogue designer. These are just the pants. Okay. Oh, okay. Loose fitting narrow leg pull on pants have elasticized waist length and pocket variations. Knit pants A and B. A raw edge pockets and hems. Wobin pants C and D have seeming details. Yeah, like what were those? What were those like underwear that people wore in like the Depression times? You know what I'm talking about? Those like beige colored things. That's what that reminds me of. Ooh, that's unfortunate. What is this? Oh, no. It's better in a more stable fabric, I guess. It reminds me of those line green pants. Was that a Marcy Tillton pattern from spring? There you go. Lots of fun seeming on them, though. But yeah, this, this, this crotch is drafted real funny. It's just so long and loose. Look at that. These come in the letters, the letter sizes. Moderate stretch knits for the knit ones and then lightweight woven for the woven ones. Just small, small medium and then large through extra, extra large. They don't give you the any sizing to see like what, what are, what are the inches and extra, extra large mean? Like what is your waist size? You have to look at the pattern, which if you're shopping online is impossible. Okay, this is a Today's Fit by Sandra Betsina. This is a top and pants. So I think she has, I remember correctly, more like ready to wear sizing. So it's got like a little overlay action. I swear, these are another pair of elasticized pants. Oh, very loose fitting pullover top has visible contrast underlay. Yep, pull on pants have elasticized waistband and top stitching and pockets like what is that? And there's like no picture that really showed the pants, at least the waistband of the pants. Yeah, who knows. All right, so the top linen silk stretch woven or knit and then the pants are a stretch woven like satin is stretch woven or anything with like cotton, some kind of elastic in it. Yeah, so see her sizing here is different because yeah, but it's just one side. So you just buy the pattern and then she'll teach you which size to get. And then here's your yardage. So this is for the outer part of the top and the under part of the top. So the top altogether is like three or four yards. All right. Well, I have to stop now and go to yoga. I didn't realize this was going to run so long. But we have, it looks like four more. So when I get back, I will finish and catch up on these four, but my voice might sound different because I'm in the library now and I'll be home later. So just let y'all know what all is going on here. Normally you can film these all in one shot, but there's just a lot of pattern. So we'll catch up with 1629 and when I get back. Namaste.  I've made a couple Tom and Linda Platt garments in the past, both of them. I really loved the drafting and the construction of it. So so far so good on their patterns. This one has like a neckline that I can't tell. Does that like gathering go across the neckline? If so, that's really cool.  That's adorable. A lot of cute details. Look at this one. It's like the same pattern, but completely different, very elegant.  I mean, this one you could probably get away with like a chalet or something and like a fun print, but like this would be a great place for you to utilize some silks and some really nice quality fabrics. Look at this though. That is kind of interesting. Not quite sure what to make of that. If that's just the fabric hung in a weird way or what, that's kind of disappointing. But the back has the three covered buttons and a little slit as well. It also has raglan sleeves, which I didn't notice the first time. Cute. Pullover top A is semi-fitted through bust with neck facings, draped collar and narrow hands. Loose fitting top B has asymmetrical yoke detail, so it does kind of go over the yoke. That's fun. Button and loop closures at back neck and cuffs. Okay. Yeah, look how cool that is. Yeah, I don't feel like this white, I don't know what it is, chiffon, poly chiffon maybe, is really doing that detailed justice or maybe it's just the lighting and like the camera. But I think this is super, super cool. I think even if you did the neckband in like a contrast, maybe like a tone on tone contrast, something in the same family like pink and gray, that would be super cute. You know what I mean? Something where this detail really stands out would be a lot of fun. But this is just very elegant. Like I said, I'm sure they're going to recommend. No, they didn't put silk in here. Interesting. Crape, charmeuse, and rayon chalet. This must be charmeuse. I don't know what it is. But certainly you could add any lightweight drapey fabric to this. I mean, really, I wouldn't even use wool. It needs to be very drapey, especially for version A. Yeah, so super cute though. The sizes come in 6 to 14 and then 14 to 22. And no finished garment measurements are provided. And all you would need are those nine covered buttons for view B. So yeah, I think that's a lot of fun. Super cute. And like I said, I've really enjoyed all the Tom and Linda patterns that I've made in the past. They've all come out really, really nice. So okay, that's that. Now we have this Marcy Tilton pattern. It's like a tunic and dress. This one has more buttons and loops. It has like a mandarin collar or a stand collar. I'm not sure the difference between those two looks like side seam pockets and a little slit or pleat or something happening here. Here's the dress version. Oh, that's kind of cool how it's like double layered. That's interesting. I'm not entirely confident in the fit here. It's very tight across her. Her shoulder area. See how it's pulling? Like when she closed up the buttons, it's all pulling. I'm surprised they left that like that. And then I don't know what this is doing. That's also concerning just very tight all through here. So keep that in mind. I mean, obviously every one's bodies are different. It looks like you would have a different bodice piece for the dress or for the sleeved version than you would for the sleeveless, because the sleeveless cuts in so much. But look how much better it fits through the chest area. Right? Maybe that's just a funky designed sleeve. But I think it's really cute. I like the double layer hem on the dress. Oh, and look at that. It is a cute sleeve, but this is odd. What is all this? You know what I mean? Something's not right with this. What's all happening here. But this is super cute. So maybe worth figuring out. Although the sleeveless version would also be cute. I did want to zoom in and see if that is, yeah, I guess it's like a placket kind of. They just did it in contrast fabric. Interesting. All right. This is loose fitting pullover tunic has wide hems. Loose fitting pullover dress has attached underskirt. Both have optional ribbon trim. All right. That's ribbon trim up here. And supposedly it's optional. So whatever that means. Y'all know I'm not adding these pockets. These are terrible. They just flop around on the inside and it's just not comfortable like at all. Not a fan. Oh, but look on here there. The sleeves are cuffed, but they did not cuff hers. See hers are left down. Still cute, but interesting that illustration is different. That doesn't usually happen. Okay, cotton-shirting linen, rayon shally, lightweight denim, quilting cottons. Yeah. Any of that stuff. Any woven light to mid-weight would be good for this. Let's see. Yeah, nothing exceptional on the notions. You have letters. So extra small through medium and then large through to XL. And no finished garment measurements at all. There you go. That's what you would need for fabric. Ah, threw a little more than three yards for the dress. That's, yeah, I guess because it's doubled up right here. Still cool though. It'd be worth it. All right. So there you have it. That is the Marcy Tilton tunic and dress. A little in the fence about the fit of the sleeved version, but maybe with some muslins it could be sorted out. All right. Now we've got a whole unisex pattern. These are always so fun. So the oversized slouchy look on the female version. It's a collared button down with a lot of very interesting seaming and maybe top stitching. There's a lot going on here. Forward shoulder seam, big loose strappy sleeve. Lord, could they not have picked like a worse fabric for him? That's just mean. That's just mean. I don't know any guy that's wearing shirts like that anymore, right? Okay. Okay. So here's the back of a back yoke. Center back seam almost looks like lapped seams. That's it. I've never seen that before. Interesting. And then his does not have a seam in the back. Interesting. Fitted. Fitted? Okay. Fitted button front shirt has collar with stand and self lined back yoke with forward shoulder seam. A, which is what she's wearing, seam and tuck detail. That's what they're calling that. Seam and tuck detail. Front yoke, short sleeve shaped back hem. And then his version is long sleeves with tower placket and button cuff. Wrong side of fabric shows on front edges. What does that mean? For A, wrong side of front shows, wrong side of fabric shows on front edges. I'm assuming they mean like this. I don't even know what that means, but here it is. And again, this can be made for a woman and this could also be made for a man, I guess. Yes. Neither one of them are like incredibly overwhelming to me, but this little, what do they call it, nip and tuck? Seam and tuck? Seam and tuck detail is, it's peaked my curiosity. Like I'm just kind of very curious about that.  Yeah, it's a little too like utilitarian, utilitarian? Is that the right word? I guess so. For my taste, but it is kind of cool that you could make one for you and for your boyfriend in the same pattern. That's fun. Charmous, shirting, chambray, linen would be super cool. That might be what she's wearing. Maybe cotton though. So let's see if you need some buttons. It comes in these funky sizes 34 through 40 and then 40 through 46. Oh, I don't even know. That's obviously very rare. Let's go to the size charts. Is it this? So what are those sizes again? 34 basically through 46. So it's fitted for a man, a smaller man 34 through 46. None of these larger sizes are included.  Yeah, I mean a woman could fit these inches. Oh, and they give neckband links. So yeah, it's for a man that they, it's a men's shirt that they are putting on a woman, I guess. That's so interesting. Well, for what it's worth, I would be still in a bunch of different size ranges. 36, 42, and then like 46. So I still am all over the charts just like I am in a woman's pattern. So I guess that makes me feel a little bit better. Interesting. So yeah, you'd have to really pay attention to that, I guess, and hope that both you and your man fit in the same size. Hmm. This is seeming less cool the more I look into it. And then no finished garment measurements. So I don't know about ease or anything, but it does look very loose fitting. Oh, and it's Rachel Comey. I didn't mention that before. I didn't really realize that. Interesting. Okay. I'd love to know if Rachel Comey is selling this shirt in her stores. I mean, really? Okay. And then the last one is just for a man. This is a Ron Collins, like a polo type top. So we're not going to cover that one. But all right. So it took me two, two times to finish it all, but we did. What do you guys think of the new Vogue Summer Sewing Patterns? I was looking for like a look book, but I don't see one. I think there's a lot of really cute stuff here. Some of it is a little too design-ery, I think, for my taste. But there's also some very wearable stuff in here, too. And I mean, Vogue Patterns aren't those that you're going to be like cranking out like one a week or anything. You really want to take your time with them. But there's a lot of really cute silhouettes, a lot of really cute designs, and a lot of really fun techniques that you could definitely learn and explore in making these patterns. So yeah, let me know. Is this it? Here it is. Let me know what you think of these patterns. I know you will. You always do. Leave them in the comments down below. I love reading y'all's comments and your thoughts about everything. So be sure to leave those in the comments below. And I'm guessing McCalls is going to be out with Summer and Butterick new look possibly. So we'll have a few more of these to come. I don't think there's anybody that's doing Spring Summer. I just can't remember off the top of my head. But anyways, thank you all. Wait, what is this? I was just about to end the video. And then we definitely did not cover this. This is so annoying. They've done this in the past where something pops up in the lookbook. And you're like, wait a minute, same with this Catherine Brent, right? We didn't cover that. Yeah, we definitely didn't cover that. Interesting. So what the heck? What is this? We have a bunch more to look at, y'all. I'm sorry, I thought the video was over. Oh my God, look at this one. Am I losing my mind? Those were not in the regular listing. So annoying. I don't think either of these were either. Hello. Let me go ahead and open them all up. I swear. And we'll add them to the group. There are so many. Okay, we definitely saw all those. We definitely saw those guys. We definitely saw her. Oh my word. Okay. Well, it's going to be a little bit longer of a video than we thought. Okay, we have like a little wardrobe pattern. I really love these. This is a poncho back pleat top shorts and wide leg wrap pants. I am here for some wrap pants. That sounds like so much fun. This like tone on tone outfit is adorable. That must be the poncho with the pants and the top. Oh, the poncho with shorts. That is so fun. And there's the top with the shorts, top with the pants. See how many combos there are honestly. If you make these in all coordinating fabrics, you could seriously have like 20 outfits. This is back pleat top that they're talking about. That's a little funky. I'm not sure what I think about the top. It looks cuter tucked in. Am I right? But what is that? What top is that? They just like throw in another top. That's interesting. This look is so cute. I don't know if I could pull it off, but it is adorable. I love that look. Love this look. Let's look at the line drawings. Well, first let's read this poncho cut on crosswise green has hook and eye top a which is oh the poncho has top stitching B has cuffs. Oh, cuffed. That's cool. Cuffed like sleeve, I guess poncho. That's nice. The sleeveless top fitted through bust has French darts, back neckline slit, back pleats and hook slash thread loop purchased trim bias tape to finish necklines and arm holes. Okay, below waist shorts have elastic waist and side pockets. Okay, wide leg front wrap pants fitted through hips have back button front waistband back button front. That doesn't make any sense. Back waistband with tie ends and no side seams. And they all have narrow hems. All right, so here's the poncho options. You have one with the little cuff on it, kind of like the pink and gray poncho that I just made. And this one has, I don't know, is that purchase trim? I can't remember. Or did they make the fringe themselves? It doesn't say. It doesn't say. All right, it would be in the yardage notions bias tape. Book and I friends trims purchase trim. Okay, they knew there's your cost. Then here's the top has little front dart kind of boxy center back scene with the slit. I just don't know because like when the darts and the pleats are in the front, it's room for your bust. But when they're in the back, there's it's just billowy and weird. I hear the most basic elastic waist shorts. And then here are the pants. They have a single dart in the back. It says fitted through hips, but that looks pretty wide to me.  They're super, super cool. I'm definitely going to want to make those for sure. Fabrics are crepe linen blends jersey silk broadcloth. Also for the ponchos cotton canvas contrast B that's the cuff would be a moderate stretch knit. Yeah, it's kind of difficult to just list all the fabrics that these wardrobe patterns would be good for because I mean what you're going to want for the shorts is different than the top is different from the poncho. So refer to shorts patterns for fabrics for a short and lightweight, tricky tops for the top and other poncho patterns. That would be my best advice for that. This is just, you know, too broad. We kind of went over the notions a second ago. Oh, it comes in letter sizing, extra small through medium and then large through double extra large. That's interesting. And then here's all of your yardage counts. There's a lot of them. And then finished garment measurements. They give us nothing width of the lower edge who cares width of each leg who cares back length. I mean that's important but not when you're buying the pattern that's important when you're making it and then side length from waist the length of the pants basically. Interesting. This is cute. This definitely has some potential. I love the styling and like the kind of monochromatic look that they did for this. Cute, right? All right. The next one from the Lookbook is Mrs. Knit V-neck and draped dresses from Catherine Brinn. This looks familiar. Did they not just have something like this in the simplicity catalog, right? With like the weird drapey stuff on the side? Except this one looks a lot better than that one did. It's just draping a lot better, right? That looks really elegant and nice. Yeah, I like these. I don't know if you could go shorter if that would make it a little bit more modern. Letter sizing on this too. Yeah, you could go shorter. You just have to make sure that this isn't too too short, like up to here. But I think you could make this a little bit shorter. It's one of those like bang for your buck kind of things. I think you'd spend most of your time cutting it out, but then sewing it together is just like a side seam, putting in some sleeves, and hemming everything. You know what I mean? All right, two-way stretch knits. So rayon spandex, cotton sandex, inner lock twist yarn knits, which is I-T-Y. That's where you're gonna, that's how you'll see that listed most often. And then you need a little bit of elastic. I think that is for, what is that for? I don't know where the elastic goes. Then you have one size, so extra small all the way up to extra, extra large in one pattern piece. That's kind of cool. And then no other measurements are given. What do you guys think of this one? I think it's kind of cool. It's definitely elegant. It's definitely interesting. Right, now we've got a very easy vogue, 9-2-9-2. Super cute. Deep v-cap sleeve. Maybe a waist seam, or is this like a princess seam that opens up into a dart? Something like that. Yeah, like that. Oh, and then you have this little inset. Are we sure this wasn't from spring? This might have been in the spring collection. We've seen that before, right? The memory is not serving me well. Close fitting dress has princess seams, back zipper length variations, and dicky that attaches to dress with snaps. I feel like we've seen this one, guys. So why they included it in this collections lookbook? I don't know. Still really cute, though. And I'll show you guys all of this in case you missed it. Here are your fabrics, poplin linen jacquard. Your little dicky would be organza and chiffon, and then all the fabric that you would need. They only give you the length for the finished garment measurements. And then your sizes are 6-2, 14, and then 16-22. Oh, but they all come in one pattern piece. One size. I don't know why they separate them out like that, then. That's confusing. Okay, next up is this one. Also very easy vogue. Very deep plunging V. All the way down to your waist. Hello. Then kind of like a little halter top, and then this might be like a circle skirt. Yeah, that's cute. I feel like I've seen this one before, too. Not this version. That gray version I definitely have seen, right? Fitted online dress with very, with link variations, has back zipper and hook and eye, pleated bodice, circle skirt with stitched hem and pockets. Purchased by his tape finishes arm holes. Yeah, it reminds me of dirty dancing. So there you have it. Very cute. Very elegant. Very sexy. Cute date night look. Great bag satin, rayon shally, lightweight broadcloth. And I just want to say that it's not super hard to make a lining for this and then insert cups. So for those of you that are like, I have to wear a bra, you could, you could work around it. At least put cups in and it won't be like super, super supportive, but at least there will be like a layer between you and the world. All right, six to 14, 14 to 22. And yeah, no real finished garment measurements. None that are very helpful at this point anyways. Lots of fabric. Love this circle skirt though. I love a circle skirt so much. Very good. I almost thought that there was like some kind of collar there, but there's not. Let's see, this one is a Mrs. Jacket cute. I love a little cropped jacket or not cropped. There's one with some cool like billowy sleeves. Maybe with plates or something. That's like a shorter version of the orange one. Are we still into this wrist tie thing? Is that still cool? And then there's like the basic cropped one also cute. Lots of options here. Lots, I guess maybe they don't normally illustrate every single option. Very loose fitting, unlined jackets have length and sleeve variations. Okay, so our sleeves are this one, which I think it's different from a Bishop's sleeve. Am I right? You also have a bust dart and a little back shoulder dart. Center back seam. I don't know what, is this just like top stitching? I guess so. And then two lengths. And then this one is the exact same, except for a narrow sleeve with a little tie doodad. And then this one is the exact same as this without the tie doodad. So lots of combos there. Crape Wolf-Lannell Gavardine linen blends. And then you need some interfacing shoulder pads. And when a pattern calls for shoulder pads, you have to use them. I mean the pattern was drafted with all of that extra, you know, it's not really ease, but all of that extra bit to fit the shoulder pad is included. So if you decided that you don't want shoulder pads, you'd have to redraft the whole shoulder. But like I've said before, like in my McCall's holiday sew-along, shoulder pads have come a long way. They're not what they used to be in the 80s. They're actually very nice and allow a garment to hang on you really beautifully. All right, here are all of our fabric requirements. And then just length for the finished garment measurement. Sizing is 6 to 14 and then 14 to 22. There's some cute auctions in here, I think. Like I said, I love a crop jacket. I don't know, I would be tempted to make the funky sleeve, yeah, like this. But also, they're really working the Ankara fabric, aren't they? I could see myself making this one. That would be certainly fun to wear. So maybe. Now we've got this shirt dress, custom fit, which means it has the different cuff sizes, separate pattern pieces for cuff sizes. Whoa, look at that sleeve. Wow, that's dramatic. And you won't want to have spaghetti or soup or anything like that when you're wearing that dress. Here are other options.  But I could see it making a comeback. That sleeve, though. Yeah, that's a lot. It's like a skirt on your arms. A skirt here and a skirt here. That's cute, but obviously. And then here's like a little narrow version. I wonder how this would look with the pleats on my, if you have larger hips, if you're pear-shaped. I do not like a belted, but no. Oh, they left it off of this one. Back yoke. What do we think of this one, guys? Obviously there's some options that are really cute in there, but this is what they're really trying to sell us on. What do we feel about the skirt sleeves? Dress has fitted bodice with notch collar, yoke with forward shoulder, and no shoulder seams. That's interesting. Length and sleeve variations. Full skirt and narrow hem or straight skirt with front pleat detail backdarch and stitched hem include separate pattern pieces for the cuff sizes, as we've mentioned. So, yeah. Okay, so your yoke goes over the front to like a forward shoulder seam, but what they meant is there's no shoulder seam right there on top of your shoulder, but there is still, it's not all one piece front to back. Front bodice to the back yoke I meant. I hope I'm being clear. And then, so here's your big skirt sleeve, here's your little short sleeve, here's your long sleeve, and then kind of knee length skirt, mini length skirt, maxi length skirt, and then this fitted skirt, also in a few different lengths. Yeah, I mean a lot of options. I mean that's why it's called Vogue easy options, but what do we think? Do y'all like that one? Sizes come in 6 to 14, 14 to 22, fabricine flannel, crepe, ponty, I mean depending on which version you're making, you could rarely use just about any fabric. Maybe not super super stretchy, but any woven certainly, but if you're making these little skirt sleeves then you would want that to be a little bit drapey. It doesn't have to be shally, but I wouldn't put that in like cotton, it would just be like bell bottom sleeves. You know what I'm saying. Okay, here's our fabric recommendations for everything. Some of them you need like four and a half yards of fashion fabric, interesting. And then just the length measurements for the finished garment measurements. Yeah, I don't think this one's going to end up in my stash, but I could see some people making some really cute versions of it. Okay, this is another Catherine Brand. This is a pickup skirt and drawstring pants. A pickup skirt. Okay, very festival hippie dippy. I can't remember correctly, but I mean she looks super cool. That way it's styled is nice. And then drawstring, what is happening? What is happening? Wow, that's fun. It's not as weird as the simplicity ones from last week, but something here too. But I guess we're not, is it a shirt? No, no shirts. I don't look at the shirt, my bad. Are you selling a bag? Or are we showing this? What is with this picture? Or this picture? Unless you're telling me I can make this bag or this tall. What is happening? It's just pants. I don't even understand. Oh, look, there she is. That's fun. That's cute that they took a picture together. This is cool. This is cool. I could see this being very modern. Look at it there. That's nice, right? All right, skirt and straight leg pants have elasticized waistbands, shocker of the century. Elastic, everyone should go get stock in elastic because apparently it's having a moment. Elasticized waistbands are literally all we've seen for all the summer patterns. Cut on crosswise green. This is for the skirt. Concealed ties form drape. That would be fun. Shaped hemline, narrow hem. Cool. Side pockets on B. Lower side panels and inset withdrawal strings.  It serves zero purpose. It has no purpose at all other than just to sort of be cool. And I think that these are darts right here. These two little lines. I think there's darts sewn in, which is what those two things are. So yeah, I mean, it's not a pocket. It's just a design detail. There you go. All right. Linen stretch satin, ponty knit. I'm assuming that's for A and then crepe and lightweight twill for B or maybe just lightweight twill for B. Crepe and everything else. Linen could go in this category too. Again, it's one of those things where it's, they're so different you would need two totally different fabrics for them. All right, some elastic. Then you have your sizing, extra small through medium and enlarge through double XL. Here's your fabric requirements. This one actually does have finished hip measurements, which is super helpful. Maybe not necessarily for the skirt, but definitely for the pant. And then leg widths, links, links. So a little bit of helpful information in the finished garment measurement section. This could be cool though. I think that could make that really cute. All right. And let's be real, it's got to be comfortable. All right. Still rocking and rolling on our hidden patterns here. Pull over top with stand-up collar and neck facings. Feature sleeve bands cut on the cross grain and bias overlay option and then purchased ribbon on one of the versions. So that's, this is the bias overlay or something, cut on the cross grain or something. Drop shoulder, little v-neck. Oh, that's kind of cute. So this is the bias overlay option. That's going to take a ton of fabric. Oh, here's the ribbon. Also interesting. This is just above top. Yeah. All right. All right. That's all they're going to give us. Not too much.  These are cut on the cross grain. So you could really work some stripe action into there. And then if you want, you could add this overlay, which is cut on the bias front and back. And then this is the same as this. It just has ribbon on it. All right. Pretty basic. Or not basic, but straightforward. All right. Crape to Sheen, Matt Jersey, and Silk Broadcloth are the fabrics they recommend. But I mean, you could do it out of a lot of other ones, too. This one could be out of any stable woven. These, I would say, maybe something a little bit drapey, but not necessarily like shally. You could go midway drape. Okay. Extra, small through medium. And then large through double extra large are our size options. Here's your fabrics. And then a width and length, which really aren't that helpful. But yeah, the ones with the overlay require a lot of fabric. It's basically like two shirts in one. All right. Now we've got this tunic and pants. Maybe like a center front seam and some other kind of seam going here. Oh, it's like an X with all this thing. Huh. No, I'm not a fan. I don't know. This is odd. Maybe if it were all the way a dress, maybe it's just the tunic over the pants and the sneakers where I'm losing me. And then here's the back. Interesting. Loose fitting pullover tunics have sleeve and length variations pockets and shaped hemline. Wrong side of fabric will show loose fitting wide leg pants have front waistband elasticized back. Oh, there's pants too. Oh, there are pants. Oh, well, that looks a lot different than the illustrations. That's not terrible. But is this is I'm confused. It's really hard to read. I think that it's like three dimensional like this goes out this way. This side stays flat.  Like it's sticking out off of the pattern.  Hmm. Yeah, I think that if they like fully committed to it being a dress, I could get behind it. You know, like how short is it in the back? I mean, this version where the little pointy thing is all the way down at her knee. In the back. Yeah, you just add a couple more inches down there and you've got a dress. Maybe maybe that would be cute. I just don't like all this over pants. That's just too much. Too much fabric. Maybe over leggings. I guess something like tight fitting. I don't know. I'm not a fan of how it's styled here, though. All right, here's our yardage. Poplin, crepe, rayon, shally. Yep. And then the pants you could do ponte. You could do suiting. You could do really anything on the pants. Let's see. Oh, six to 14 and then 14 to 22. Basically, you need elastic and bias tape. Here's our yardage. It's infusible. Oh, look, a bust line, a finished bust line measurement and hip line measurement. Thank you. Please include these all the time. I'll leave you guys with those for a minute. Look at all these finished garment measurements.  All right, that is officially the end. I can't believe they had all those patterns not listed on the website, but they're just hiding here in this little lookbook. That's why I always try and find the lookbook. Okay, so now I will ask you, what did you guys think of these patterns? Let me know if you'll be getting any of them. Leave your thoughts in the comments section below and I will see you all here again very shortly. Thanks for watching. Bye.


I'm here with Alicia Serrano of Three Sisters Seed Library and she has helped to put a hundred seed libraries across the country. So Alicia, why are you passionate about that? Well, I like doing the seed libraries because it provides resources for healthy foods and it also is very hands-on and it doesn't just keep you knowing where like how your food grows but where it comes from and I think that's super important. There is so much power in our seeds. In each of the seed libraries that Alicia helped start, there are thousands of seeds for people to gain food freedom to take power back from big ag and actually produce this food, this life-giving substance right in our communities. So why do you think seeds are important? I think seeds are important because they are the foundation of all living things on our planet and without seeds we kind of have no existence because they provide so much for us.

It's more easy for me to turn the other way and recite, looking at you guys. It's more hard to look at the people and speak. Mashallah, it's 27th night, Alhamdulillah. We ask all of you to make dua for us, insha'Allah, for our masjid, our community, our ahbab, our children, brothers and sisters around the world, insha'Allah. May Allah accept from you, insha'Allah. May this Ramadan leave with all your dunub, all your sins, insha'Allah, and keep you clean and clear, insha'Allah. Ramadan is the month of Quran, Shahr Ramadan, al-Lady ul-Zilafiih al-Quran, wal-Hudal il-Nasi wabayyinati min al-Huda wal-Fuqai. So the Quran was revealed down in Ramadan. That's why we fast Ramadan to celebrate the Quran. The Prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, himself, he used to celebrate the Quran every Ramadan. When she really used to come down and listen to Rasulullah, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, review in the Quran for Shahr Ramadan, every Ramadan. Plus he was the winner. His own Qiyam, his own tarawih, masha'Allah. So we do Quran at least once in Ramadan in here together. May Allah accept that, insha'Allah. Which is beautiful things, insha'Allah. Every night doing, which is until we finish the whole book, insha'Allah. This is great. Insha'Allah we will be blessed with Quran, insha'Allah. So every Ramadan we celebrate Quran in here. We honor the students of Quran. The students who are advanced in the Quran. You know, it's not easy to memorize Quran. If I ask all of you, do you want to be Hafid in memorizing Quran? Should I ask you or no?  Not all of you? Masha'Allah. I know you love the Quran. I'll give you 10 out of 10 that you love Quran. But to memorize it, it needs a lot of time. It needs to put a lot of time on it. That's why you honor the students. Because they are putting hours and hours. They come in Sunday early morning to recite Quran. And Friday and Thursday. So we have some students. Every year some students finish Quran in this community. Which is blessed. As you see, Alhamdulillah, we have students from our community. Leading us in Taraweeh. Already, Masha'Allah. Ahmed and Omar and Taha and Umayr, Masha'Allah. May Allah bless them, Masha'Allah. This is, I feel like, at least, Alhamdulillah, we're living. We're preparing some Hafid to take on, Masha'Allah, and lead the community in the future, Masha'Allah. Keep them in your du'a. They're still training. They're still working hard. Even if they make any mistakes, please encourage them and say, Masha'Allah, you're doing good in du'a for them. Never discourage the students of Quran. We want our kids to love Quran. Okay? So Quran, no matter what you do, you're still getting reward. Even, say, in one word, one letter, you get ten hasanahs for each letter. And if you get thirty hasanahs, it's minimum. You can get more, insha'Allah. So, we have eight students this year. They're not all memorized Quran, but at least, at least this year, they memorized five Juz, which is not easy. So after you memorize five Juz, means you have ability to be Hafid, insha'Allah. So these students, they are advanced in Quran memorization. They might, insha'Allah, if they continue, for sure they will memorize Quran. And we have two students finish the Quran, Takbir. And we have a diversity this year. We have, insha'Allah, students from China, from Malaysia, from Brazil, from Africa, Alhamdulillah, India, Pakistan. So I'm going to call Dima, insha'Allah, to come to the front, insha'Allah. So first, we have Mahrez. Mahrez, please come forward. And Yusra, Konstantino, Yusuf, Konstantino, insha'Allah. Sami, Sami Wafdar, come forward. Zidane, Salim, Muiz, and Maryam, and Safa, Konstantino, insha'Allah. So please come forward, insha'Allah. So on the 27th night, which is insha'Allah, happened to be Lelat Al-Qadr, insha'Allah. We bring these kids in here to thank them for their efforts and hard work to memorize, insha'Allah. Say Masha'Allah to them, insha'Allah. May Allah protect them. May Allah give them more, insha'Allah, ability and encouragement to finish the memorization, insha'Allah, and to become Hafim. As I said, all these students are working very hard. They memorized this year at least five years. Five years is a lot, insha'Allah, but some of them are way ahead of five years, insha'Allah. So who's missing? Okay, everyone is here, insha'Allah. So Alhamdulillah, where is Mahrez? Oh, Mahrez is sick. No, no, no. May Allah give him quick chiffa, insha'Allah. Come all the way here. So we have this year, Masha'Allah. You saw, you saw it right here. She finished the whole Quran, Masha'Allah. Take care. Yusra, she started memorization a long time ago. Then she went to Zeytuna. Masha'Allah, she finished four years. Then she graduated from Zeytuna. She came back to her memorization. She worked hard. She was able to finish her memorization this year, Alhamdulillah. Can you see her name? Yusra. So Yusra, MCC has given you this gift and certificate. This is as, you know, something small to say thank you, to encourage you, insha'Allah, to review more and to become, insha'Allah, a teacher of Quran, insha'Allah. Sayyid-e-taqweer. In the name of Allah. I'm Mu'tarif. Take it, give it to me. Yusra, insha'Allah. So I'm Mu'tarif. And gift card, insha'Allah. Yusra. Unfortunately, Mahrez is... Mu'is, brother, came here, Mu'is, he waited. So, Mahrez is not here. But Mahrez has memorized 25 Jews. Masha'Allah. Only five Jews to finish, his brother. Mu'is, this is Mu'is, he's coming out.

و الأصل في مياهين الطهارة والأرض والثياب والحجارة بأوث رحم الله يسين here that the original essence of the water is purity the asal is that the water is pure what does he mean asal here? he means القاعدة المستمرة the continuous principle is that the water is always pure we will say that this water is pure unless there doesn't come إذا لم يوجد دليل و يغير الأصل unless we find an evidence that diverts it from its original essence here we have to stop over something which is the matters pertaining to this matter are four the مسائل are four types and the first matter is مسائل فيها دليل للتحريم أو النجاسة أو الفساد we have to understand this in order to understand the issue of what is the asal of something the مسائل in the sharia are four types مسائل which are what? there is a deal that is impure that is corrupt that is the first type it is called مسائل فيها دليل للتحريم أو النجاسة أو الفساد and based on what the evidence says يحكم بذلك الدليل the ruling of what the evidence is is what we rule it by the second type is what? مسائل فيها دليل يدل على الإباحة أو الطهارة أو الصحة there is evidence that shows that it's permissible that it's pure, that it's correct the opposite to the first one and because of that نحكم بذلك الدليل we will then also give it its ruling from the evidence that we have very good the third one is what? مسائل يوجد فيها دليلان متعارضان we have two evidences those two evidences oppose one another دليل يدل على الصحة ودليل يدل على الفساد there is evidence that shows that this is correct and there is evidence that shows that this is incorrect أو دليل يدل على الإباحة وآخر يدل على التحريم an evidence that shows it's permissible and another evidence that shows it is impermissible this one فإذا لم يمكن الجمع if it's not possible to bring them together فلا بد من الترجيح if we can't bring them together then it's necessary that we want that we have to choose we have to run to our result to أو جهود ترجيح to say that this one is stronger than this one نعم ومن قواعد الترجيح أن الدليل التحريم يقدم على دليل الإباحة and one of the principles which we will apply here which is from the قواعد الترجيح أو from the أو جهود ترجيح ترجيح means what this one is stronger than this one that's what ترجيح means one of the ways is to say that the دليل which is حرام takes precedence over the دليل which is the permissible the impermissibility takes precedence over the permissibility the fourth type the fourth type مسائل ماتز لا نعلم فيها دليل we don't know any evidence for it فهذه تطبق عليها قواعد الأسل the asal is applied on the fourth type you see the asal it is applied here we start saying this is this and that's the one we apply here والأصل في مياهنا التهارة والأرضي والثياب والحجارة the author he said والأصل في مياهنا التهارة the original essence of the water it is that it's pure why would we say that because this matter of water there is no dalyl that we know that says it's impermissible this particular water we have نعم there's no evidence to say that it's permissible or there's no evidence that says it's impermissible نعم it's something that it's silent about so we stick to the asal here does that make sense but you stick to the asal and الله تبارك وتعالى he told us that the asal of it is في صورة البقرة ayah 199 هو الذي خلق عليكم ما في الأرضي جميعا الله is the one who created everything on the face of this earth for you and also Allah said وينزل عليكم من السماء ما اللي يطاهراكم به الله sends down from the sky water so he can purify you with it and الله سبحانه وتعالى he says وأنزلنا من السماء ما الطهورة we have sent down from the sky pure water and also the messenger said in the hadith ذا إمة السنة للأربعة narrated إمام مالك narrated it شافع narrated it أحمد narrated it ابن أبي شيب narrated it ابن خزايما ترمي the authenticated it رحمهم الله رحمهم الله and it's the first hadith الإمام الإمام إبرا حجر العسقلاني رحمه الله in his book بلوغ المرام he wrote which is that the prophet said هو الطهور ماءه الحل ميتته that the water is pure that the water is what? pure in another hadith another hadith the prophet SAW said الماء الطهور لا ينجسه شيء the water is pure nothing makes it impure nothing makes it impure so the قاعدة المستمر is the asal which is that the water in its original essence is that it is pure والأرض the earth as well the earth the asal of it is what أنها طاهرة that is pure unless we know اي دليل نحكم به على أن الأرض نجيسة unless there comes an evidence that says an evidence that comes and says that this water this earth is impermissible it's impure we can't use it other than that the earth is also طاهر it's pure to us where's the evidence for that أعطيتو خمسة لم يعطهن أحد قبلي I was given five no one before me was given these five and the messenger mentioned from those five واجعي لتليل أرضو مسجيدا وطهورا فأيما مسلم أدركته الصلاة فعنده ومسجده وطهوره مجرد احدهم the prophet said I was given five the previous nations that came before me weren't given these five and the prophet mentioned from those five the earth was made a messjid for me and a pure land the earth has been made pure for me and a masjid anybody who صلاة comes in any person or any Muslim the salah enters onto him then verily the earth is a messjid for him المسلم العصر قال عليه الصلاة والسلام عليه الصلاة والسلام الصعيد الطيب طهور المسلم إذا لم يجد الماء عشر سنين المسلم just said that the earth is pure it is pure for the muslim if he doesn't find water for ten years even ten years for ten years you don't find water you do Tayammum the author said وثياب and the clothing the clothing the actual of it is what that that is طاهر it's pure ولا يحكم بالنجاستها and we can't say that the clothing is impure إلا إذا قامت دليل على أنها نجيسة unless there comes an evidence that says what this clothing is what is impure unless there comes an evidence نعم so the actual of it is that it is pure and the deal for that is the messenger عليه الصلاة والسلام and his companions may Allah be pleased with them all they used to wear clothings in which the disbelievers used to make and it was never heard that they would wash it before they wore it so this shows what فدل لذلك على أن الأصلة فيها الطهارة نعم نعم فقد يأت لنا فضل لذلك وفضل لي مراكب وفضل لي وفضل لي وفضل لي وفضل لي وفضل لي وفضل لي وفضل لي ولكن الحجارة تبقى في الأرض أيضاً عندما يقول أن الأرض تبقى في الأرض فهذا يجب أن يخطيه ثم يقول الأصل في الأبضاع واللحوم والنفس والأموال للماسوم تحريمها حتى يجي الحلو ففهم هداك الله ما يملو هذا one version أيضاً يقول ففهم هداك الله ما يحلو بل نفسهم يقول يقول أن الأصل في الأبضاع فهذا ليس قد يخبرك أن الأصل في الأبضاع ويقول أنه يجب أن يتحدث عن الأصل في الأبضاع أصل في الأبضاع الأصول في الأبضاع أبضاع يعني ما يأتي من الأولياء برضاع برضاع يعني what قطعة ولحم في لغة العرب it's a portion of meat that's what the word بضع means but in the Arabic language sorry in the technical meaning in the Arabic language it's used as three meanings so linguistically it means what قطعة ولحم that is what it means linguistically technically the word means according to the Arabs it means three meanings one is الفرج the private part the private part is the fart it's a piece of meat and الأصل في الفروج and the original essence of the private part is التحريم and permissibility فلا يحل أن تستعمل إلا فيما جاء دليل بحليه وجوازي and no one is allowed to use his private part in something unless there comes an evidence that permits it so the ussal of the private part it is that it's haram it can't be utilized except that which the sharia can permitting it and the evidence for that is the statement of Allah والذين هم لفروجهم حافظون إلا على أزواجهم أو ما ملكت أيمانهم فإنهم غير ملومين فمن يبتغاوراء ذلك فأولئك هم العادون الله says والذين are the ones والذين هم the ones لفروجهم their private parts حافظون who saved God at their private parts أو ما ملكت أيمانهم أو except that which their right hands have possessed فإنهم غير ملومين those are not blame worthy فمن يبتغاوراء anyone who tries to fulfill his desires elsewhere وراء ذلك after that which has been mentioned الله says والذين are the ones who have exceeded their limits they have exceeded the boundaries that were set for them so here a matter that comes in here which is the issue of masturbation it falls under this point which is the asal that I'm sticking to is that it's haram the asal is haram you prove to me it's haral الأسلو في الأبضاع واللحوم the asal of your private part is that you can't use it for what for except when the sharia permits rather I can even prove it to you even more now that the sharia made it even haram so the fact that I stick with the asal which is that it's haram until proven haral so you have to go out of your way and bring me an evidence that says it's what it's haral and the sharia came and it said that the only thing I have permitted is for a man to fulfill it with his wife and for that which his right hand has possessed and that's what Allah said in the ayah then Allah تبارك وتعالى rebuked those who try to fulfill their desires after that which has been mentioned He says فمن يبتغاوراء ذلك فأولئك هم العادون and the fact that the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم has said to the youngsters and the youth he said to them من استطاع منكم الباءة فليه تزوج anyone who is able to fulfill his sexual desires he should get married who is able financially can support the wife and he is sexually he is in need فليه تزوج ومن لم يستطع the one who is not able فعليه بصوم for verily fasting is upon him the prophet never gave him no other alternative the only alternative the only option he was given after giving up on marriage and he probably doesn't have the finance or anything for it or is unable to get married the sharia has only given him one alternative and that is the only alternative he can go towards which is to fast do you see good also the evidence that shows that the best example of the فرج is that it's haram is the statement of the messenger that Imam Musa narrated that the prophet said اتق الله في النساء في الله in the women فإنك مستحللتم فروجهن بكلمة الله you guys have made their private parts permissible because of the word of Allah meaning Allah's statement allowed it for you guys she was haram from you before she became halal for you now because of Allah's words Allah permitted it for you الله سبحانه وتعالى what he permitted it for you and then the ayah that I mentioned and the hadith both of them they indicate أن الأصلة في النساء تحريم الفروج that the private part of the woman the asal is that it's haram good بكلمة الله he means what بكلمة الله there are aqwal that the ulama mentioned but insha'Allah على الصحيح it is اقدم نكاح the marriage you're doing it with that good so if the asal of the woman or the private part of a woman it's haram then what's then a man cannot have intimacy based upon assumption and speculation it has to be based upon what يقين نعم because the asal is that it's haram and you're not allowed the شك لا يمبر it is not looked at the asal is what يقين that you are not allowed to نعم number 2 the scroll is that said that the word the word بضع the word بضع the second meaning that they refer to it at it or they refer to they said that it means is الجماعة جماعة intimacy and intimacy the first one was the private part itself now they said that intimacy is known as بضع and this is جماع لا زمول للفرج جماع is what comes out from the private part so if we said that the private part the usal of the فروج is تحريم then what comes out of it is also going to be تحريم there's no problem with that that third view that second building is there the third one is عقد النكاح the marriage the what the contract of marriage are you with me contract of marriage عقد النكاح some of the scholars they talk فقد ذهب بعض العلماء إلى أن الأصل في عقد النكاح تحريم some scholars they took the view that the usal of the نكاح the contract of marriage the usal is that it's حرام who saw that view الامام الصيوطي جلال الدينة الصيوطي in his كتاب الاشباه والنظائر that's what he mentions if you look at the دبع دار الفكرة page 44 that's what he mentioned and other than him from the people of knowledge and that's what it seems like is the view of the author here it seems that that's his view from the line of poetry and he also he explained his own book رحمه الله تعالى and from his شرح it also seems the same if you guys both go back to your شرح الشيخ عبد الرحمان ناصر السعودي رحمه الله he has his own شرح on this book قوائد الفقية قوائد الفقية so it seems that he's inclined to that view as well he's inclined to what that view that meaning is incorrect or that view is incorrect because the أصل of عقد النكاح is الجواز permissibility والحل قد يأتي دليل يدل على التهريم ودليل ذلك عدد من نصوص شرعية why is that a view that is weak because something that is permissible and evidence can't come and make it something that is haram evidence can come and make it what حلال and so when it makes it حلال in that thing in its originality it becomes what حلال because Allah said in the Qur'an يا أيها الذين آمنوا all those of you who believe all for fulfill العقود the contracts fulfill them and نكاح is عقد عقود is a plural of contract so the أصل of any contracts is permissibility that's the أصل for any عقود any عقد it's that it's permissible حتى يأتي دليل يدل على الفساد عدد من الصحة and that shows that this is impermissible and that is not allowed also Allah تباركه تعالى He said حرمة عليكم أمهاتكم وأخواتكم إلى آخر الآية الله تباركه تعالى He said these people are حرام from you and the fact that الله exclusively mentions those who you can't marry and the hadith also mentions those that you can't marry what does that show فدل لذلك على أن الباقي على الحلق it shows that the others are upon the original essence which is permissibility الله also says it in another آية الله says it in an آية إلاكم ما وراء ذلك الله has permitted for you anything after that so everything else is permissible the that is permissible except these استثناء these exceptions that the sharia has taken out so based on that point we realize we know that أن الأصل في أقدم نكاح the of contract and marriages is what الجواز permissibility والحل that is allowed حتى يأتي دليل and makes it and makes it حرام the author also says والأصل في he says واللحومي meaning الأصل في اللحومي is what التحريم the author is trying to say that the original essence of meat is what that is حرام and that is a view whole held it's a view that is held by some of the فوقها some of the فوقها they hold that view واللحوم هو التحريم that the original essence of a meat it is حرام and the evidence that they base that on is the statement of the messenger عليه الصلاة والسلام which the prophet said إذا أرسلت كلبك if you send your dog which dog have you send كلبك المعلم the dog which you trained فوجت معه ويرو and then you find another dog with him and the animal is dead you told your dog hunt the animal your dog ran to the animal when you got there you saw the animal that you told for it to be hunt on the ground dead are you with me dead also what another animal standing next to it another animal next to it the prophet said فلا تأكل don't eat it you don't know which one of them killed because if the trained one killed it becomes permissible if the trained one kills it's permissible because when you sent him you said بسم الله and you sent him and he's like your sword when he went there he killed the animal you can eat it but now you don't know if this other dog did the killing so it's not permissible the prophet said don't eat it don't الإمام النساء رحمة الله they narrated this and the hadith in it's it's in صحيحة بقال المسلم sorry sorry the hadith in it's narrated بقال المسلم they themselves narrated it's it's it is so based on that they said that now the fact that there's two animals they will go back to the usal which is that it's خليت it and they said the reason why it's it's because you don't know which of the two killed them it's and they said it's like saying that an animal that comes from an animal which we can't like the mule we mentioned last time it comes from the donkey and it also comes from the horse you can't eat it why? because there is حلال and حرام mixed and you're not allowed to eat it this issue doesn't fall on the issue of مسألة الأسل remember when we divided مسألة into how many types did we divide into we divided into four the fourth type what did we say it's مساءل الله نعلم فيها دليل we don't have no evidence for it right? the fourth one was what? matters which we don't have no evidence for does this fall under the issue that doesn't have no evidence for it no it has an evidence for it so for the الشيخ to say الأسل في اللحوم it would have been correct if there was no evidence for it and the matter does have evidence an evidence that makes it so the second type that we mentioned sorry the first time that we mentioned the first time which is مساءل فيها دليل التحريب أو النجاسة أو الفساد فيحكموا بذلك الدليل anything that is there's evidence that makes it or that it makes it impure or it shows that it's corrupt it falls under that when we were talking about الأسل في مياه للطهار والأرض والثياب والحجار we mentioned that so for the because we said مساءل الأسل it is that which has no delete in it there's no delete that makes it permissible and there's no delete that makes it حرام and this one there comes ولداليكة for verily then what is more apparent is that the أسل of meat is حلال the أسل is حلال the أسل is what it's حلال and not حرام as we said before like the water the water is a حلال or is a حرام in أسل the water is in its original essence it's like mixing water mixing water with something that's حلال or حرام what does it take it becomes حرام if you mix water with something حلال and حرام what does it become it becomes حرام the same as if you animal the dog you train and the other one they both are standing there you don't know which of them done it it takes the same rolling did that remove from the water its original essence of permissibility the same way they meet here نعم good and the evidence to show that the meat in its original essence is permissible is the fact that الله said كل أجد ما كل أجد فيما أحيا إلي محرما على طاعب يطعموا إلا أن يكون ميتة الله says كل سي لا أجد فيما أحيا إلي محرما على طاعب يطعموا إلا أن يكون ميتة the sharia only gave an exception from which one unless it's dead it's a dead animal or in another ayah الله says وما لكم وما لكم أن لا تأكل مما ذك رسم الله عليه وقد فصل لكم ما حرم عليكم إلا مضظرتم إليه so this ayah what is also show أن الأصل هو الحل والجواز في اللحوم المأكولة وأن التحريب مستثناء those two ayahs the first ayah وصورة العنعام ayah ayah 145 and the second was ayah صورة العنعام as well so they both show what that the sharia gave an exception he gave an exception that the only ones that are haram from the food and from food meat is whatever the sharia says نعم that's what it is نعم the other evidence that shows that the actual meat is the hadith of Aisha رضي الله تعالى عنها بخاري narrated it Aisha رضي الله تعالى عنها she said that the prophet was asked about the meat اللتي يؤتى بها إليه the meats that are brought to the prophet ولا يدري they don't know the meats that Aisha رصول الله are brought we don't know if Allah's names are mentioned in or not and they give it to the prophet he eats himself هل دك رسم الله عليها أولا Allah's name has it been mentioned or not the messenger said سم الله علي أنتم وكلو you guys say بسم الله eat it and this fact that whether they said بسم الله or not it's doubt we'll stick with the certainty and that it's permissible you can eat it very good then the author said he said after that وَنَفْسِ what does he mean by the nefs he means الأسلف in nefs the asal regarding people's nefs their soul their it's the fact that it's haram you can't kill anybody the asal is that the person a blood can't be spilled from anybody إلا بدليل من الشارع unless there comes an evidence from the sharia that permits it you can't transgress on anybody you can't exceed your limits towards anybody the people's blood is what it is impermissible for you to touch unless there comes an evidence that permits it and the evidence for that is the statement in the Quran that backs this قاعدة this principle الله says ولا تقتلوا أنفسكم don't kill yourselves إن الله كان بكم رحيمة الله also says ولا يقتلون النفس التي حرّم الله إلا بالحق they do not kill the souls in which الله تبارك وتعالمين حرّم from them unless there's a a hack in it unless there's a a hack in it so you can't kill anybody unless there is an evidence that permits it for you also the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said in the hadith بقار المسلم narrated لا يحلّ دمرو المسلم إلا بإحدى ثلاث الثيب الزاني ونفسه بالنفس وتاريكوا لدينه المفارق للجماعة the messenger said it is not permissible the blood of a Muslim unless there's unless three situations الثيب الزاني the person after going through marriage he commits Zina ونفسه بالنفس a person who killed another person and the third one was وتاريكوا لدينه المفارق للجماعة the person who kills what a person and the third one which is a person who leaves the religion of Islam and also the prophet he prohibited the mu'ahid from the the zimmiyeen to be killed then believe disbelievers who have contracts or who those who we have contracts in their lands the messenger said من قلت المعاهد لم يرح رائحت الجنة anyone who kills a person who has a covenant who kills that person the prophet said he will not smell the fragrance of jannah so spilling blood is haram unless there comes an evidence that makes it what permissible it makes it permissible نعم for example the magician as well you can kill the other evidence is that permitted the prophet said حدوا السارحي حدوا الساحري sorry حدوا الساحري the the count to punishment among the of the magician is ضربة بسيف that is killed as it narrated in the sunan نعم also the murtad the one who apostates he's also killed as the hadith of the prophet من بدل دينه فقتوله فاقتلوه. anybody who changes his religion, kill him. نعم. الأصل في الأموالي. The original essence in terms of people's wealth is حرام. People's wealth, you can't transgress on it. And you cannot exceed your limits regarding people's wealth. And the permissibility, many text and evidences indicate that. That you're not allowed to exceed, you're not allowed to transgress on people's wealth. الله تباركوا تعالى يسأل يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تأكلوا أموالكم بينكم بالباطل إلا أن تكون تجارة عن تراضي منكم. Allah says, do not eat each other's wealth based on part of falsehood. Unless it's based on what إلا أن تكون تجارة عن تراضي منكم. Unless it's based upon both parties are pleased with it. أصدر مسئلة صلى الله عليه وسلم. أصدر مسئلة صلى الله عليه وسلم. أصدر مسئلة صلى الله عليه وسلم. إن دماءكم وأموالكم عليكم حرام. Your blood, your wealth are haram from one another. The author then said, the author says رحمه الله تعالى الأصل في الأبضاع واللعومي والنفس والأموالي للمعصومي. So the person who is a معصوم is one, what? It is the one who is, you're not allowed to kill. He's called a معصوم. His blood can't be touched. But the معصوم who leaves أصمة who is the one who leaves that is the محارب who fights with the Muslims. He's fighting with the Muslim. Their wealth, their blood becomes permissible when dealing with them in a battle. In a battle in which the two armies meet each other and they are fighting, then the wealth is taken from them and they are also fought against. They are also fought against. Allah said in the Qur'an in Surat Al-Ahzab ayah 27. Allah says أورثكم أرضهم وديارهم وأموالهم وأرضهم لم تطأوها. And Allah also said in Surat Al-Anfāl أيوان يسألونك عن الأنفال قولوا أنفالوا لله والرسول أصول الله سبحانه وتعالى وعلموا أن مغنيمتم من شيء فأن لله خمسه. The Prophet also said من قتل قتيلا فله سلبه. Anyone who kills a disbeliever anyone who kills him, he takes what that disbeliever is carrying. He takes it. And of course it's all in a it's all in a battlefield not on the streets of a country or the roads. It is in a place where there is a battle taking place and the Muslims and the non-Muslims are both fighting one another.


My name's Davy Chappy and today it's time to sit down on a front lawn and terrify some children because we're going to be going over the off-forgotten core race of D&D, the gnome. I'm going to go over the lifestyle and legends of the gnome race as presented by Mordenkainen's Tomofo's and I'll even let you in on their mechanics so that you can play your little small fey however you want. As always keep in mind that a lot of this is just my opinion, so if you want to tinker with the gnome in a completely different direction, feel free to run it however you want. But with that out of the way, let's begin. So the gnome has had a bit of an identity crisis throughout the history of D&D, but 5e has streamlined them to essentially be two halflings what elves are to humans. They look and act relatively similar to halflings, but with a hard streak of inventiveness and fairy-like magicianry that propels them into being the biggest and bestest industrialists, alchemists, artificers, and animal handlers in the whole of the multiverse. Gnomes are born raised and respected as investigative creators, constantly inquiring into new discoveries about technology and magicry, often mixing the two to spawn amazing trinkets such as self-sweeping brooms, clockwork machinations that have their own semi-sentience, and potions that'll actually grow your hair, we promise. Luckily for the rest of the world, gnomes also have a deep propensity to love every aspect of their life, and so their technological nature always works for the better men of all kind, with no gnome upset when their inventions are overtaken by a new creation, because it just means that advancement is happening. It's as if all gnomes are in a room filled with tools, every one of them trying to make the brightest lamp, and every time a better one's created, it illuminates a little bit more of the room, and a few more tools that they previously didn't even know were in the room, and so they all work together so that the room may one day be fully lit, and they can all bask in the beauty of the light that they created together. It is that never-ending drive to create more and more and more cool things that leads them down one of two specializations, these specializations often being dictated by what type of gnome they are.  Meanwhile, rock gnomes traded expansive forests and trees for burrows, warrens, and tunnels in the ground, and are more the type to bang rocks together until something happens, usually something impressive, such as a mechanical pixie that can actually fly, or a noisemaker that sounds like it's doing the fork in the garbage disposal. These are the extreme inventors that'll just fall deep into their work, spending hours, days, months, however long it takes to finally, through all their experience and research, prove that the world is indeed flat. Now, on the flip side, the more solemn and decrepit deep gnomes manage to defy all expectations in true gnomish fashion by managing to live in the Underdark without being raging dicks about it. Granted, deep gnomes, or swerve neblins, as they're called by people who hate the human mouth, are still about as underdark as gnomes can get, usually surviving by trying not to make enemies, and ignoring those looking for allies, because hey, the ally of my enemy is my enemy, am I right? And speaking of enemies, the humble gnome has an unfortunate ancient blood feud, with another equally small and ingenuative race, the cobalt, to explain why we have to go back in time just a little bit.  But on top of them all, the leader of the bunch was Garl Glittergold, the shining beacon of everything it means to be a gnome that serves as the beacon to unite them all. Long ago in the ancient land of the gods, good guy Garl noticed that the cobalts were being treated poorly by their draconic masters, and that one cobalt in particular, the god Kurtlemak, was being a crafty boy by delegating all of his work to a colony of gnomes that he had gotten his cobalt buddies to enslave.   To which Glittergold thought, hey, that's not nice, and mocked Kurtlemak into chasing him deep within a cave, all the while throwing jest and jab at the poor cobalt god. Eventually, after luring him far enough into the maze, Garl turned back to Kurtlemak, snapped his fingers, and disappeared in a cloud of glittering gold, but not before setting the entire cave system to collapse. Kurtlemak had just enough time to think, hey, that's not nice, before he was crushed beneath the rubble, trapped underground forevermore. To this day, cobalt still hold a garage against gnomes everywhere, and whenever the two races meet, those little lizard boys take every opportunity to remind the gnomes that it was, in fact, not nice. But now that we've got the history and lifestyle out of the way, I bet you're wondering what gnomes are capable of doing on the tabletop. Well, I'm glad you asked, disembodied voice in my head, because all gnomes start with a plus two to intelligence, a speed of 25 feet, a size of small, dark vision, the gnomish language, and advantage against mental magic saves. After that, the gnomes splits up into three paths. The forest gnome increases their dexterity by one, they can communicate with small beasts, and they can innately cast minor illusions. Rock gnomes increase their constitution by one, they get expertise in history checks related to any artificer related subjects, and they get the coolest goddamn ability in the entire book, tinker, which lets you make little clockwork doodads that play music, start fires, or just be neat little clockwork toys. Deep gnomes also increase their dexterity by one, they have a dark vision of 120 feet, they have advantage on stealth checks to hide in rocky terrain, and they get an extra language in the form of undercommon. To be fair, I think a lot of the reason why I see record low amounts of people playing gnomes is because it has disadvantages coming from every angle. Lower wise, a lot of people have a hard time conceptualizing what a gnome even represents, unlike elves, dwarves, or even halflings, which paint an immediate picture in your head as soon as you see them or hear about them, and mechanically, a plus two to intelligence benefits literally the wizard and that's it, so playing any other class puts you at a disadvantage. To the lore problem, I honestly just think it comes down to gnomes not being present in Lord of the Rings, meaning they haven't been absolutely plastered in every fantasy world this side of the universe, but I really think that we'll start seeing gnomes being played more often once the artificer makes its fated appearance, which might be sooner than we think, but that'll about do it.
