miss_sonja replied to the topic ISO Sailboat *paper pattern* in size 4-8…any suggestions? in the forum oliver + s: sailboat 10 years ago

I finally found a paper Bedtime Story pj pattern on eBay. I set up a search so it would send me an email when one was posted. Finally snagged one.

good luck!

I suspect the forums would buy a lot of those samples! I know I’d love any size 3T or 4T boy items:-).

What about doing group shots and using one of the forum groups for the sale? Sort of like a very casual online garage sale?

I would be interested in lending a hand.

Karen, wouldn’t try and re cut it, just make it and they will grow and fit into it. If it’s only one size to big I’d be tempted to give it to them and they grow into it 🙂

I agree, rolled hem on the left and an adjustable zipper foot on the right. Probably for a low shank machine 🙂

I agree with Robin. The on the right would work for piping, also, or anything where you need to sew very close to something that’s not flat.

krisherber started the topic Can I use woven bias fabric to bind edge of knit? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

I know I don’t have to bind knit edges, but am wanting to make a lap shoulder baby gown out of knit. Can I use a woven fabric cut on bias to bind edge to add some detail? Would it stretch far enough? I do not want to waste fabric trying it if anyone else has and discovered it won’t work…. ??? Thanks for input!

So funny! I was chatting with my hubby about that last night, too! I do that, too. I often wait to buy a pattern, and then when I finally do, I’m frustrated at myself I didn’t but it earlier, so I could have made more!

Hello ladies,

I am probably not alone in this. I often buy patterns because I really like and plan on doing one particular view that appeals to me. Yet I am often surprised at how it turns out.

I bought the afterschool for the top, which I’ve never made. Swore I wouldn’t make those pants, and I’ve made 4 or 5 pairs, but no top. My favorite…[Read more]

Hello everyone! I have a crazy question and I’m just going to put it out there in case anyone want to take me up on it:

We have a large number of samples left over from pattern development and photo shoots, and I need to clear out some space in the studio. Over the years we’ve talked about holding a sample sale, but our workload is always so big…[Read more]

Thanks! That’s perfect!

Robin replied to the topic Things you find when you're moving house… in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Here’s my guesses. The one on the left is for rolled hems and the one on the right is a zipper foot.

Justsewit, will you post pictures somewhere of the pink smocked dress? I would so love to see it! Good luck on the patterns for your son.

I will try again. I’ve come to the conclusion that Flickr just hates me…
