Thank you everyone, for all your suggestions. I did send a letter to the Manager, stating amongst other things, that I will take the matter "further", and that I expect to have my money refunded. Then yesterday I got a phone call from the sales assistant telling me that I can come in to get my $50...

Has any one been to one of these? I'm still relatively new to the area, and I'm wondering if it's worth the two-hour drive. It sure is inexpensive. It starts Thursday and seems to have a good list of vendors. Do they have good deals? I'm not sure how I found out about it, but info is...

I have several worn out jackets hanging in my closet that I absolutely love and want to recreate. I am an advanced sewer but am wondering how difficult this would be to recreate a pattern from them without tearing them apart. Does anyone have any suggestions about doing the sleeves and collars? ...

If it says Buttons, or Thrill, I am not reading it. Enough, already!

Hey all, I was hoping that someone could be of assistance. I am looking at purchasing a sewing machine in the next month (that is if I can make up my mind). I have narrowed it down, unless I get better suggestions to the Janome 6125, the Janome DE3050 or a used Pfaff (1472 Anniversary addition)....

I'm making my girls slips in a gorgeous slinky stretchy beige fabric- and am pondering the straps. I want something smooth and comfortable- and don't really feel like running out and buying something at the moment either. :-P I was wondering about using Clear Elastic but think it would be too...

This is a long shot but I thought I'd try it. I once made a Santa from a BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS special Christmas book. (The hardcover kind they put out just for Christmas patterns, ideas, recipes, etc.) I'm not sure they are still making these books and I have not the slightest idea what...

I got my birthday prez a day early: a Pfaff 2044 tonight, 90 days same as cash. I got the floor model that has been a demo for 3 months. I am so pleased! DH gave me a certificate for any new sewing machine I wanted, so we drove over to the Pfaff dealer and I sat and played on a few and...

This should be labelled "True Confessions of a Yard Sale Addict." The Thrill of the Hunt: it's a never-ending marvel, the stuff you can turn up. You have to get up before the roosters to beat the dealers to the true goodies. I missed out on Sat., just could not get going at 7 am. I think last...

Sorry for newbie questions, but I usually just quilt, this is my first real attempt at garment sewing. I've got both of the girls dresses done, to the point of hemming (last step). How do I get a proper hem measured on them, or should I just turn up the ends from the pattern and hope it's good? ...
