Hi all, I’ve been getting a bit perplexed with the word “hack” just lately. To me, “hack” means a number of things. To “hack” at something means to chop it unevenly. Going out on a “hack” is when you take a horse ride in the country. Hacking is when someone breaks into a computer and steals or alters information. So, apart from the horse example, “hack” means to make a complete mess of something. Although, thinking about it, horses get pretty messy on hacks… Anyway, it seems just in the last few months or so, more and more people are using the word “hack” in relation to crafting and sewing. I’ve read a few blogs where people have been explaining the steps they took in their “hack” of a pattern. Or describing their hack of a coat. Even cooking is getting in on the act. An article in The Daily Mail today reported on “ 50 Culinary Hacks to Make You Look a Pro in The Kitchen ”. Yet, the pictures of the crafts look lovely, the sewing exquisite and the food? Well, I’m not sure
