Emily, our patterns are sold for personal, noncommercial use only. We ask that people not make and sell items from them for personal profit. But not everyone gets that message….

I’m listening/watching the latest season while illustrating fall patterns. Is it me, or is everyone talking at 150% speed? Maybe I’m out of practice in speaking/listening to English?

Excellent advice, @sarvi. I’ve been wanting to make the dress in wool as well, @gauri. Can’t wait to see how yours turns out!

In blaze orange and neon green ripstop nylon, please, @lightningmcstitch.

So if we develop and release patterns for men, who is volunteering to sew from them for me?

Hi Sarah,

My sewing machine’s gathering dust …
My scissors have started to rust …
The pins,they are lonely
I would use them, if only…
Nah, eff it! Las Vegas, or bust!

I tend to shop by feel and drape so I am not much help with names…

May I say, if anyone makes you feel bad, they are the jerks, not you!

You ask your questions, only a stupid person stops learning.

Shirts with two piece collars and cuff plackets are always on my radar.
I would love your instructions for these.

Cargo shorts, something like the Field Trip with no waist band/elastic back casing would be great as work/casual wear.

We love our food @lisamm Thank you for the suggestion. My Biggies were ‘Smash’ fans so when we saw the exhibition flyer, we booked extra days accommodation so we could see it.

This denim it just will not stretch
When I wear it I feel I must retch
So tight ’round my guts
I have back and front butts…
