Nicole replied to the topic Bear carrier help! in the forum oliver + s: little things to sew 10 years ago
For the most case, it won’t matter if you cut the straps with the grain or across the fabric.
I made some silk ties for a dress once and cut one with and one across and the one across stretched a little.
I shouldn’t think you would have a problem with most fabrics you would use for the bear carrier.
I hope that helps. -

Really? That is awesome, thank you!
It is a great finish which I use a lot. Its a great way to line a top or bodice.

I made this shirt for my daughter http://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/7948860068/in/photostream/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/8007554316/in/set-72157628144618165 (Oh how I disliked it).
I used the Sketchbook shirt collar and sandwiched it between the facing.

Our Biggies had a New Years Eve party and I think we may make a tradition of that. They had a lot of fun and so did Jed and I.
Happy New Years, sweet sewing friends!

One more thing – if you buy the press you will later be able to put in metal snaps too – the pliers only work with resin.
mkhs, do you find the sew-in snaps stay put ok? My grandmother always used to use them on the close she sewed for us and they were durable – but whenever I’ve done them, they seem so loose! I must not be sewing them properly. -

How about a thread to post links to something we are particularly proud of?
I love links as I find the new Flickr quite hard to load with my country internet.
I am happy to go first.

Nicole replied to the topic French seams in the Music Class blouse in the forum oliver + s: music class 11 years ago
If you were sewing with a super fine fabric it may work but there are a lot of seams and the front and back yoke are not lined.
I made a Family Reunion dress, for a sweet friend who adores a perfect inside finish, and I used french seams for the sides and then bound the arm hole sleeve. Personally, I felt that looked a little ‘stiff’ and that was…[Read more] -

I think a knit would be lovely but I would use a woven for the neck facing to keep it in place.
