This is an awesome project! I can't wait to pass it on and make some myself, a great cause. Well done, there should be more programs like this! :)

- About Me:
- Hi there!
Nice to meet you! I am a Canadian enjoying a seaside lifestyle on the atlantic coast with my large family. I love and treasure my role at Sew-Whats-New.com as managing editor! It enables me to meet thousands of extremely talented artisans who constantly inspire me. My goal as managing editor is to provide members and visitors with engaging, educational, and inspiring content every single day.
Please feel free to add me as a friend! Send me a message, show me what your passions are, and tell me how I can help you to remain inspired.
- What type of sewing do you enjoy?
- garment, drapery, home decor, upholstery, quilting, industrial, marine
- What type(s) of sewing machine(s) do you have?
- Kenmore 10
- Kenmore 14
- Elna
- White Vintage
- Singer Vintage (okay, I admit, I have three of them, it's an inherited hoarding problem)
- Singer 188u Industrial
- Taurus Industrial aka "The Beast"
- {I'd really like a Pfaff or a Bernina Industrial...}
- What brands of patterns have you tried?
- Most, but I don't use them. Not a "pattern" person. I'm not much of a big garment sewer right now. I hate the tissue paper patterns. :)
I'm interested in patterning. I'm really getting into the printable PDF epatterns that I'm finding online. That's the way to go in my opinion! There are some super-talented people out there yet to be discovered. I'll share my finds with you whenever I can! I'm big on supporting independent artisans and small business.

- Susan, I wanted to give you one of the credited gifts but I had used up my 75 cents and had no idea how to get more or where buy more. But I want to thank you for all that you do.

Thanks for inviting me as a friend. I joined the half yard swap and can't wait for my fabric to come in. I sent mine off today. Hope the swap continues for a very long time.

marilyn said… Hi, Susan
I just signed up to enter blogs. I'm not really sure how all of this works, but I think you are the first friend i have so far. I'm trying to figure out how to post a question on tote bags.
can you give me some clues how to do this? Here is my quest:
I'm looking for a pattern to make a fabric (100% cotton) flat bottomed gift bag that meastures approx. 10 to 11 in. high and 8 to 9 inches wide with a 4" bottom.
do you have a pattern like this?

Angee Barbe said… - You're right Susan. I've had to try this project on about a thousand times. I have the straight-pin marks to prove it! :) I'm such a gluton for punishment too....I'm starting another dress after this project is complete. Thanks for the encouragement! You're awesome!

- Good morning Susan. It's a cotton/rayon blend. It hangs really nicely. I, however, am not a good clothes maker. Im hoping to post of pic (if it's worthy).

Stephanie said… - I updated the pattern for my catch-all bag, but with blogger acting up yesterday, it reverted back to the old pattern. I just wanted to give you the update. Here is the Updated Pattern. Thank you so much for sharing the tutorial! This site is WONDERFUL!!!

- You're welcome Susan. I feel guilty taking up some much room on the front page, but I love welcoming members. I've been so busy lately, that I was way, way, way behind.

Jamie Nunes said… - Congratulations Auntie! Hope mom and babe are both doing well. It is amazing how well these "early" babies do...my granddaughter was born at 27 weeks, 2 lb 1 oz. She will be 2 in April and aside from being small, she is right on target developmentally and is smart as anything. She is a daily reminder of miracles in action! Congrats again and thanks for this wonderful site. : )
