I use medium weight sew-in interfacing. I've tried the different papers, but I like the durability of the interfacing. Hope this helps. Mary Lee

Hi Nancy, I've been buying a 22 pattern, and that hasn't hit the top of the tape on the Lutterloh pattern making system, so I don't see where you'd have any problem fitting yourself. I believe a 22 is 45 bust, 39 waist and…

Hi, Mary Lee,
I just watched the video of the lutterloh system and am very interested. You said you are a plus size, I am also a plus size. I was reading different comments on the system and wondering if there is a cut off size. Any infor…

I just got my lutterloh system about a month ago. I've already made three tops, two jackets and a pair of pants. Love it. I like the idea that you can take differnt parts, ie, sleeves, collars, and change them onto different tops (does that…
Hooray!!
After making my own paper pattern of the fav mall blouse, I finally finished one of them in this really pretty, really COLORFUL print.

origami Easter eggs
I picked up a magazine today that showed how to make decorative eggs using plastic, or paper mache' eggs and origami paper. You could buy a set of 5 for $15, so cheap-o me thought, I can do this. So, ran in Hobby Lobby and got 6 paper mache' eggs. I picked out a small package of foil origami paper, and a package of some with an Oriental flair. So, I'm gonna dig out the homemade mod podge and my trusty paint brush and have a whack at it tomorrow. I also got 2 wooden diy paintable pretties that…See More

Pics of blouse I bought at the mall and pics of the one I made like it
Posted on March 19, 2010 at 10:03pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I finally finished the blouse I've been talking about. I put pics of it, and of the one that I used as my pattern on SWN. I bought the green one at the mall and I absolutely love it. It is so comfortable, and I put it in a lingerie bag, wash it, and hang it to dry. Easy, easy, easy! I wanted to see if I could make a pattern, so carefully I laid the blouse, piece by piece onto pages from a newspaper, and I copied the shapes. I transferred them to my pretty fabric, and cut them…

Hi fellow creators! Just wanted to leave a note saying that I finished the blouse last night, and before I hemmed it, I decided to slip it on and check the fit. Now, I am a lover of loose, comfortable, but cute clothes. This blouse, however, did not fit into any of those categories! Whenever I add a section of fabric that is to be gathered, in the past, I didn't measure how much width I needed. I just cut out a large rectangle, and if it was sssuuupppeeerrr gathered, that was… Continue
diaper duffel and newspaper pattern blouse

Hi everyone. I am still working on Noah's diaper duffel, but I am having to take it slowly, because I am finding that the instructions are really confusing. I have just thrown caution into the wind and used my own interpretation of the instructions, and so far, Lord it's cute as a button! Also, remember the blouse from the mall that I made a newspaper pattern from? Well, it's actually almost finished. It's turning out really pretty. Yes, I have the seam ripper handy and have used… Continue
Something free???!!!!

Good evening everyone! Hope everyone is getting something done on their favorite projects. I have seen several requests for free patterns for pillow case dresses. Well, I was just checking my mail, and I had a note from sewbaby.com about a new pattern line they have. I looked on their website for curiosity's sake, and under the heading "e-patterns" and then "free downloads", there is a pattern-----FREE-----for a pillowcase dress, and you can even use this pattern on just regular… Continue

Linda Webb said… - I am glad you liked the bag. I guess it would cost more than that in England - I get very envious when I see the price of fabrics on American websites, and dream of flying over with an empty suitcase! Not much time for sewing at the moment with full time work, but I have lots of ideas in my head.

Thank you for the comment on the Hanky Hem dress. Yes I created the pattern myself. Truly different. Welcome to our group. Hope you had a great holiday.

This video demonstrates how to fix / adjust / repair the timing of the hook on a sewing machine. If the thread from your needle isn't getting caught by the hook that rotates around, this video explains what to adjust to fix that. Requires some very basic tools and takes 15-30 minutes - maybe less.
