A group for those who make dolls and doll clothing to network, share tips and ideas!
The great thing about recycled and refashioned clothing is the way that old clothes, styles and fabrics inspire the designers to create something gorgeous and new.
Post and read reviews of patterns!

Hi! I have a question. When making hats, how do you determine what kind of interfacing to use? For example, thickness, degree of stiffness? I don't want the brims to be too stiff or too limp. I hope somebody knows the answer to this. Thanks.
Everything sewing! From basic to expert. Offer or ask for tips, advice, whatever you need to keep sewing!

- Hi Carol, I know what you mean about the fabric shops closing. The only one I could shop was our local Walmart and now we don't even have that. I do most of my fabric shopping on Ebay or online fabric stores. That's where I usually get my notions as well. Other than that, the closest fabric shop is 65 miles one way. I have had problems with depression myself and sewing was always an outlet for me. If things are worrying me; I can usually work on a project and it really helps to relieve my stress. I am usually sewing for one of my grandchildren and that is always a challenge when it is one of the older ones. I guess I'm just not into the styles now days. I've bent your ear enough for now. I hope that you don't mind that I've responded to you comments.
