whaaaa! I went from having a whole bedroom to the laundry room and now in a few weeks we will move to a house with an even smaller laundry room. (That's what happens when you have kids--they get the bedrooms!) Anyway, my question is how to organize my stuff so that I can still sew. I was thinking...

I have a cool lamp with a shade that needs the lining replaced. The old one dried up and disintegrated near the narrower top part of the shade where it was closer to the bulb.. What type of fabric is used for this? Does it need to be heat resistant? I am now using those new cooler burning "curly"...

The Rainbow wedding (sans kids!), the red jackets, and some of James quilting are going up this morning. Look in The Rainbow Effect in the wedding section, The Redcoats Are Coming in Hysterical Costuming, and you'll find James quilting in the teaching section! Dunno how successful my upload will...

Cynthia, I also like this kind of tape, and was mystified by so many saying not to use it. It's gentler to baby skin, IMO. Karen in Ohio Cynthia Spilsted wrote: I've been following Tom's posts on the sleepers and noticed that a lot of people advise against snap tape. Then I realised that...

I can vaguely remember a TV series broadcast on TLC called "Sew, What's New". It featured a rather distinguished male host who was funny at times and demonstrated sewing technique. Can anyone tell me who the host was and if the show is available on tape or dvd or still being broadcast? He was...

I inherited several books of drapery and upholstery samples. These are expensive fabrics. The harvested swatches range from small -- 4 to 5 inches to about 12 to 14 inches. I'm looking for ideas to make up something useful. Most of the prints are large so inappropriate for infants or...

Does anyone remember the dear old string bag their Nanna used to take to the shops? Our supermarket is selling cheap canvas shopping bags in the hope of replacing the disposable plastic ones, but I thought I'd rather make a couple of the old fashioned string bags, which expanded beautifully to...

Smart, but the problem is that the needle of the sewing machine collects glue, until finally the hole in the needle gets so filled up with glue that...

I have been trying for three days to find some information about this. I've Googled, Google Grouped, and Froogled. Other than Monsanto (apparently the registered trademark of Cerex), which I also searched, zip is what I get. There is an auction on eBay I'm interested in. It is for 18" x...

I just started a small company and we need to purchase fabric labels with our company name on them. We need a 3 color imprint. We are having trouble finding a company that will print labels for us for under 250 pieces and using our colors and not the standard couple options. Would LOVE some...

Hello all. Brand new poster here, and almost brand new to sewing, except for high school home ec which was a little while ago :) I just made a pair of one-piece PJ's for a friend of mine, and they are too short-waisted for him so they ride in uncomfortable places... what is the easiest way to fix...

They used to have a tape that had a rubber stitched face which was sewed or glued to the inside waistband of skirts and pants to keep them from slipping down. It was not the kind of elastic tape that stretches. Would anyone know what that tape was called and where I could get some, perhaps...

Hi there - I'm not sure if anyone can help, but I'm having a seck of a time trying to find a replacement throat plate for a Singer 421G. If anyone has one or knows where I might be able to find one, it would be much appreciated. My girlfriend's plate is pretty chewed up and the constant swearing...
