Hi,
Thanks for all the info that you share! I’m wondering if you can recommend sources to purchase buttons and other notions.
Thank you,

Hello,
I need help with a large double metal zipper on a Joseph Ribkoff jacket.
The zipper is splitting after closing. Do you do the repairs if I shipped to you?
Exoense is no problem
Thank you for your consideration

Hi Deb,
Thanks
I can give you the post here.. But I do not remember saying to taper 🙂 I know that the cover should be a little smaller than the cushion insert for it to be filled and fluffy.
hi,
my name is Mary, i am soo happi to come across this site…thanks in advance.. where are you based? i am in London.
I am trying to make the Hippie pants. The pattern looks to be using 42 x 45” and the leg length should be around 42” or so. I am short and from my waist to ankle is only 37”. Do you have a suggestion on how to shorten it?
Thank you, Jane
Have you seen sewing machines for fur?
I only recently saw one – they sew sideways!
Hi,
I love Sewguide because I love to sew, but I find it hard to get teh pattern right. Could you sell pattern packs maybe, across the internet, so it would be easier to sew your beautiful garments?
Many thanks
I tried to shorten my pants to make summer shorts. I found that there was not enough material in the “new turned up hemming fabric” to go completely around the circumference of new shorts length that I needed to hem. I have LARGE thighs and even “venting” the outer edge seam of the new hem site was a challeng. I would appreciate knowing how to overcome this hem problem.
Thanks

Hi, what are some of the things you should put into consideration when you are working around a flatlock machine and and also a Kansai machine used to stich tracksuits. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
regards
Hello Sarina,
I taught myself how to sew and for years as a young woman, I made my own clothes. It was a neighbour that asked me if I can make her pillow cases, this then gave me the idea I can do this for the public but never tried embroidery.
So I enrol into a class, My tutor name was Sue, the subject was about learning ‘Embroidery ‘ and our tasked was to bring in an object that we really like to the next class. I brought in my peacock feathers from home as I love the colours, they were green, blue and yellow. Plus we were only allowed to use 3 colours, .
The end product was a bomber – style jacket, which was made in a satin fabric, on the front bodice I added 2 flaps, were a stitched leaves on it, on the the back of the of the jacket it has a yoke, which I embroidered by cutting out strips of different fabrics in 3 colours, that I mentioned. Then using different machine embroidery stitches to stitch down each strip until it covered the yoke. The tutor was so impressed with the jacket, she asked if she could put it in the show with the others. Never give up other things you enjoy just prioritise.
Hi

Hello Sarina:)
I’ve been trying for ages to find out WHAT this top I have is called and when I came across YOUR site I thought that somebody there would no doubt know what to call it, providing I’m able to describe it good enough! Why I’ve spent sooooooo much time looking for this top is because I’ve JUST started going thru menopause and it’s one of the BEST styles that doesn’t make me feel like I’m going to go into spontaneous combustion! It’s made by a company called “Leanne” which I’ve tried to research with no luck as well.
Discription:
If you were to take an oval piece of fabric and fold it in half and end up with it being 37″wide at the top and in the center a hole measuring 7 1/2″ is cutout for your head to go through. Looking at it laid out the cutout for the neck has a lower front then back oval cut out.
-If your looking at this fabric laid out with your 37″ at the top, then it’s straight down 13″ on both sides, then it has an oval from the bottom of each 13″ sides. If you were to measure from the center top to the bottom oval at the front it would be 22 1/2″ down.
-At the top of that 37″, and measuring approx. 7″ towards the center from both top sides and from there measure down approx. 9″ and angle over to the bottom of the 13″ mark on both sides. Then it’s stitched approx. 8″
-At the bottom of those 13″sides it proceeds to having an oval bottom!
I realize that my description is far from being the best but I sincerely am getting desperate fighting these GOD awful hot flashes so ANY assistance from anybody would be so very very much appreciated. As I’ve mentioned, I’ve had NO luck trying to find any to buy so I’m going to try my best to find some sort of pattern to try my luck at sewing. The one top I have is getting wayyyyyy past it’s expiry date…lol. I’m by no means a whiz when it comes to sewing but IF I have to and it’s certainly looking that way, I shall take apart that one I have and cut out a pattern!
Thanks in advance for ANY assistance that anybody could give me.
Cheers & all the best:)

Hi Sharon
Sorry about that; Infact I do not have the form at present as there are some technical problems. I will add your email to my list for newsletter if that is ok.
Best,
Tom
Do you know of a company that would buy embroidered hats, clothes, mugs etc with unwanted logos ?
I don’t have the time to remove all the stitching.
I’ve read your post on 55 most popular Quilt blocks and other posts online about old designs and are wondering about copyright on old designs. Are there copyrights on them or is it the colorcombination or…..
I havent found anything online on it yet and wondered if you could help
With Thanks
