Jay what happens if you have that much fun in the next three years that you won’t want to leave? So very glad things are falling into sync for you. Enjoy your machines when you get them. It seems the weather is perfect for sewing (and playing) so you’d be torn between what to do.

Sounds like I need to photograph and sort. Woo hoo, that is therapy to me!

I know they have lovely models and would be glad to try any of them. And the fact that they have a history behind make these magazines even more special. I would love to have some sent though they should go over half the globe to Europe.

Try Etsy, just look carefully at the size – I ordered some for Audrey’s coat and ended up using them for Harriet’s instead! They were tiny…
The ones I ended up with for Audrey’s were custom made out of Fymo, or something like that. Love her toggles 🙂

When the thermometer dips below zero
Long-johns become my new hero
But I guess you can tell
they’re itchy as hell
‘cuz I’m scratching like some kind of weirdo!

Sorry to do the whole limerick, but it’s EXACTLY what I’m doing right now and for the same reason 🙂

Hey all, I’m back! Moved, and nearly sewing!
We moved into our house a couple of weeks ago, but I’ve just been trying to get things unpacked and sorted since. I’m only just starting to feel like things are settling down.

I keep seeing bonded fabrics around. What kind of projects would these be really good for? I’m fascinated by the idea of ‘two-for-one’ and how you might be able to use it without lining. I guess on a basic level it might just remove the need for a lining. I’m interested in what could be done with it, I’d love to hear…[Read more]
dubhels2003 replied to the topic Tulle in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 10 years ago

I think that tulle is the type of fabric, i.e. a net like fabric. You can definitely get in made of different things, so silk tulle is the kind of fabric used on dreamy romantic wedding dresses. It feels soft and is expensive http://www.topfabric.co.uk/soft-silk-tulle-nude.html

You can get other types of tulle which are cheaper (and I suspect…[Read more]
paula started the topic Tulle in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 10 years ago

I am searching for tulle for the fairy tale dress. Are there different grades of tulle? I see a listing on amazon for 40 yards of 54 inch nylon tulle priced at $19.49 for the bolt. Is this what I want? Is there different tulle for sewing?

Thanks!
