In an earlier post someone wrote about a big sale of sewing and knitting items in their city. If anyone lives in New England there is a destash fabric and yarn sale this weekend at White River Yarns in White River Junction, VT. The Amtrak train station is across the street from the sale. http://www.whiteriveryarns.com/

Hi There, sometimes it’s better to go by measurements rather than cup size. Measure your full bust and your high bust. Look at the difference between the 2 numbers. If it’s more than 2 1/2″ you may want to do an FBA.

So darling! Where on earth did you find that great fabric?
Sarvi replied to the topic Tips for fabric shopping in New York in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Another bump — any last minute tips? I’m wondering what I might be able to get in NY that I can’t get in LA. My stash is really bursting and I just don’t think I can justify buying unless it’s a case of missing a unique opportunity.

I plan to visit Purl to refresh my memory of the colors for Brooklyn Tweed as I want to buy yarn to make…[Read more]
Sarvi replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Ellen, I agree with Nicole. I usually let things slide, and it’s fine while it’s just me — but that garment has a life after your kid’s use of it. I find I am too embarrassed to give away some outgrown clothes because of those moments that I didn’t go back and unpick. I have the same exact problem with stitch-in-the-ditch and insides…[Read more]

needlewoman replied to the topic Difficult to put on? in the forum oliver + s: playtime 10 years ago

Thank you very much NCMimi; I made the Playtime that way mainly because I was concerned about Missy tolerating the lowered sleeve seams, especially in a thicker fabric. I did understand what you were saying about littlies getting into the armholes, and occasionally with more fitted tops like the Sailor top, I have lengthened the armholes…[Read more]

AH! I knew there had to be something I’d missed, and that was it. Thank you, Justine!

They do sell Manchester/homewards online, V, but not fabric. I think you can mail order catalogue fabric though – but only from the current catalogue…
