This week we have a Winter coat that I made for my wife. Hand tailored

Folks,
I would like to solicit ideas about a pattern-drafting software FAQ to

Do you own *and use* pattern drafting software (as opposed to "I bought
it/got it as a gift/whatever, but it's still sitting in the drawer/never
got it to work/whatever? If so, which one(s),...

1" Grommets by
Mignon
Hello! I have made great drapes and purchased a really nice rod; then it
occurred to me that I need to have 1" grommets. I've checked all of our
local fabric stores and can't find them anywhere. Does anyone know a source
for 1" grommets, along with the appropriate sized punch?
Thanks!

looking for COTTON sweatshirt fleece by
S
I know there is such a thing as 100% cotton sweatshirt fleece, but I
certainly can't find it for sale anywhere. I've poked around a fair
bit online and have had no luck so far. I'm in the US, in Phoenix,
AZ. I don't in the least mind mail-order, if it's what I'm looking
for. Any ideas?

Fashion Fabrics Club by
bheider
I just ordered some red corduroy fabric from the Fashion Fabrics Club.
Probably should have asked this questions first. Does anyone have any
experience with this vendor and, if so, what do you think of the quality of
the fabric? Thank you.
