Latest Excitement!
A group dedicated to the fabric stash - how to keep it organized, the size of your stash, ways to use remnants and other small pieces of fabric, your favorite piece of fabric, anything but how to break the addiction (what's wrong with it?)!

Modifying and partially re-drafting a pattern
I just finished modifying and partially re-drafting a pattern for a two-piece dance set, in 5 sizes. Wow, was that ever a lot of work with so many problems to solve. First, copying the original pattern in all 5 sizes. Then, deciding where to make changes, doing all the calculations (again, for 5 sizes). Finally, making sure everything matches...yikes, I admire people who do this from scratch! Hats off to you all.

Carla Jordet said… - Hi Carolyn,
Yes i did receive your package. Thanks so much for the material and especially the matching thread for the pink cord. I've already got plans for the fabric, now just to find the time to sew it up. The pink cord is destined to be pants for my 2yr old daughter - she really likes pink!!
I'll post pics once its completed.
Thanks again, Carla

No, nothing yet...I'll wait for a few more days and if I don't hear from her, there's not a lot I can do....
I tried to add a photo of the twins a few hours after birth, but I don't know if it is ok.
Talk to you soon.

Susan Griggs Peterman said… - Hi Carolyn, Marilyn and I are Swap Partners. I have emailed her (rather sporadically I admit) regarding what I like, my address...etc. I have not heard from her as to her likes, etc. SHE has contacted me twice and I've responded...please help me get info from her. Thanks, Susan
