SEWING MACHINE FAIRY STRUCK! by Melinda Meahan - take out TRASH to reply
I was cleaning out my closet, and you'll never guess what I found -- a lovely tan-and-white Singer 401A in perfect condition. It only has the teeniest of scratches on the bed and absolutely no rust or anything. The bobbin winder looks like it was never used -- still has the little molding joint on...

Elastic insert on jeans by SML
Has anyone slit down a jean's waistband and inserted an elastic panel to enlarge the waist? It ends up as a v-shaped insert and makes the waist more comfortable. I've seen the finished product but don't know how to make it look good.

There was a book I used to love to check out from the library, a big, thick book with gold color cover, and tons of black and white drawings of garments throughout history. It seemed to be a fairly new book in the early 70s. Does this ring any bells with anyone? I can not remember the name or...

making teddy bear ears round by Irrational Number
I have a very simple teddy bear pattern, but the ears keep coming out rectangular. How do I sew it so that the ears turn around round? Hmm.. I hope that made sense. The bear is about 10 inches tall, so the ears are pretty small. There's no fur or anything, just cotton fabric. I'm hand- sewing...

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...
