Cheryl replied to the discussion 'Can someone help me solve this mystery?' in the group Fabric Addicts"I'd recommend you investigate the fabric painting books available at dharmatrading.com (Dharma being a primary source of fabric dyes) and maybe other on-line resources. There are lots of copyright free designs you can use (scaled up or…"

July replied to the discussion 'Ribbing?' in the group Everything Sewing!"you can do the rib cuff out of the already fabric you bought. but sorry for my poor english, i can't explain how to do to you. :("
Triciababe replied to the discussion 'Ribbing?' in the group Everything Sewing!"JoAnns is selling ribbing now (they must've heard us all begging for ribbing?). It's sold on the bolt in lotsa colors.

I did buy my fabric though. Laurie - they didn't have a *ton* of colors, but fabric.com had what I wanted. I bought swatches to make sure the colors would match (because on the screen they looked very off,…"
Jean M. replied to the discussion 'Ribbing?' in the group Everything Sewing!"Hi Shelly,

Laurie C. Fowler replied to the discussion 'Ribbing?' in the group Everything Sewing!"I can't help you with your problem, but if you find a place that sells multiple colors of ribbing, please post it.

Ribbing?
I'm wanting to make an outfit that's pretty much out of T-shirt material. (Not converting a Tshirt, but it's the same type of material I'm getting by the yard.)

The "I Lost 20 Pounds Tote"
"Fabulous! I love upcycling things that I don't wear anymore into something new and beautiful. I love the rings that attach the straps! :)"
Shelly replied to the discussion 'Sewing/Pattern Software - Mac OS X love please!' in the group Everything Sewing!"My computer is loaded up with some pretty "high powered" stuff - and I only run VMWare when I absolutely *have* to, because it seriously slows everything down to be running it.

Profile Information
- I am an awesome:
- I'm a happily married mother of three; and a "southern gal" transplant into Yankee country. In my former profession, I was a pastry chef. I'm currently a web designer on sabbatical. I have a need to express my creativity, and I usually do it though my designs - but with no designs to work on, I've been getting creative and returned to an old hobby: sewing, to fill that void.
I've also started a new creative outlet: knitting. You can find me under the name "CandyBill" over at Ravelry.
- My sewing interests are:
- garment, home decor, upholstery
- My sewing machine(s):
- One my mother bought me as a birthday present 2 years ago. I don't know what it is. We got it at Sears, so I think it's a Kenmore.
- I am interested in patterns such as:
- No preference - whatever works. Sometimes I make up my own :)
