Ikea Fabric? by
BEI Design
Does anyone in the US live close to an IKEA which sells fabric? My DD
wants a few yards of:
http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&storeId=12&langId=-1&productId=10897
but the IKEA in Seattle (closest to us) doesn't have a fabric
department.
I would be happy...

New pictures of my wedding sewing (cross-posted) by

A question on the SewCouture list prompted me to get some additional
pictures of my work on DD's wedding gown. Her question was about the
waist stay, and It's easier to *show* than to *tell*. So here you go:

The good news is DGD won three firsts and a third, and was

Seattle. She has now advanced to the next level (from beginner

Fitting nightmare by
BEI Design
I am currently fitting a gal whose high bust measurement is 40.5",
bust 48.5", waist 40", and hip 43", back to waist 17.75". That's not
a mistake, her hips are only _three_ inches larger than her waist. No
fanny, at all! She was _very_ surprised to learn that her right arm,
shoulder to wrist is...

Sears Dress Form Sizing? by
BEI Design
Anyone know what the bust-waist-hip _measurements_ of a "size 25"
vintage Sears (or Sears-Simpson) adjustable dress form would be? I
don't want to purchase it if it is too far off.
TIA

My Entries in the Oregon State Fair by

I went to the fair today with my family and took pictures of my

the details aren't very clear, and I forgot to take a picture of one
suit. Here they a

Humidity on steroids by

Andrew needs to cool his workspace:
Andrew Stephens shared a link.

We need to cool the large studio area down and know we are getting
into a major electric bill, so I went looking for solutions and this
seems like it will do the trick. Anyone ever made one yet?...

Wedding Pictures by

I handed my digital camera off to one of the guests, and of course she
wasn't very familiar with it so some of the pictures are a little
fuzzy. However, here are the first pictures from the wedding:

ladies dress pants by

Please help decide a discussion between my daughter and me. My training is that
ladies dress pants zip on the side or down the back. Her claim is that modern

This is not really a big deal. The daughter is old enough to make her...

Trouble hemming kids' pants by
Belindi
Well I finally broke down and bought a sewing machine. My kid,
although fitting into 18 month pants for his waist, can't fit the
pants for the length. So I bought the machine in order to hem his
pants. Well the trouble is that the opening at the hem is narrower
than the swing arm so I can't...
