Dart question by
Melinda Meahan - take out TRASH to reply
My daughter finally taped together her jumper pattern (from my pattern
drafting software) and when we made it up in some navy gabardine I got
for cheap from trimfabric.com and she tried it on, we decided that the

Pattern Alteration for Full Bust by
TerriLee in WA
Can any of you point me to a web site and/or a book giving instructions
for altering a pattern to fit a large bust? (40D in US) Every technique
I've ever tried has not turned out well. Things pull across the front
and the back (I have broad shoulders, too) and the armholes are always
too tight. ...

Can off-the-rack clothes be tailored? by
2obvious
I was watching an "X-treme Makeovers" rerun last night, and I saw a
stylist advising a guy to have his tie-dyed T-shirts tailored. I'd
never considered this possibility, but now that it's in my head...
I wear a lot of T-shirts (very few button-up shirts). I'm willing to
invest the time and...

JoVern
This place had a sale about 6 months ago and I had a ball! I just thought

Anyone who has the Wild Ginger software (I'm getting the Tailor Made), how
are their instructions on making coats, with the lining, insulation, etc.
Is it a royal pain? Do they cover the bases?

My husband offered to buy me a sewing machine for christmas, and we went
looking at them on the weekend. We ended up buying one because it was on

Pattern Master site? by

Seems like quiltropolis or patternmasterchatter is kinda unreliable. Either

Just hangs, each time I try to go there.
