Hi everyone,
I need some help with the placement of the velcor on the long ends of the straps of the bear carrier. I have mad a number of these for a local Salvation Army Church fete (fair), but I don’t have any children around to measure the length of the straps. I was wondering if anyone who has made one could let me know the distance betwen the…[Read more]

You are both seriously kind!

He learnt how to grout yesterday!

I am putting them on a Pinterest board and tagging them now.
Basically,I don’t know how to do it(Make a side bar thingy).
I will ask Hugo-thanks for the compliment and interest Sarvi.

Nicole, is it possible to have a set of links in the sidebar of your blog to all of your tutorials? They’re such a useful resource, it would be so nice to have them all collected in one easy-to-browse spot.

I blogged it if that is any help?

The actual seam should be sewn 1/2″. I won’t lie, I just pinned mine like mad and didn’t do the basting stitching. I did ckeck to make sure everything was in place right first before I moved on. Hope this helps!

I just might do that in order to actually get the prints I’m after.
I had the sales assistant bag the range saying she couldn’t understand why people loved it so much. I set her straight in explaining why.
Will go mail ordering when hubby isn’t looking and get that ones I want.

Don’t forget the mail order option. It can take a week but they hunt around and find it all for you!
Well worth the 7$ p&h.

Bit disappointed to find my store didn’t have all the prints and fabrics available. Apparently there was a split shipment. Oh well will try again next time.

Exactly! Thank you, my hero!

I’m bumping this thread rather than starting a new one, because of the photos posted above. If I want to add a sheer fabric at the bottom edge of the skirt, which will extend below it, so it looks like a double layer, how best would I do that? I was thinking at first of inserting my sheer fabric between the hem and the hem facing, where the pink…[Read more]
