Hello All! I am making a very basic straight skirt with a matching cardigan style jacket. The fabric is a wool, actually it's some men's suiting fabric I bought a couple years ago to make a suit for my husband. The project never materialized, no pun intended, so now the fabric is mine. I will...

Hey, I am making a skirt which calls for interfacing, but the fabric that I'm using is a little see through so I'm wanting to line it. after reading the "I Hate facings" posts I've decided to just use the lining and not worry about the interfacing. I've made a shirt with a lining before but never...

"Irene Scott" Very interesting idea. But it sounds more time consuming & complicated than making a lining from the coat pattern? But I'm intrigued...do let us know how it turns out! Never having made a lined coat I can't say, but as this shirt was already

While working through the lining of my coat, an idea came to mind as a simple way to line a shirt/jacket. Seems like one could take an old shirt or make one for the purpose and use the whole thing as a lining for a jacket made of a heavy fabric such as home spun wool. I got a shirt out of my...

I have a 1957 Singer 111W155 walking foot machine with cabinet and everything but the light. First question, where can I get a light? Or will I just have to put one together from pieces and parts from another machine. It would be nice to have the original. I downloaded the manual, and after...

My DD (age 14) is in marching band here in northern Texas. Her band is going to march in the St. Patrick's Day parade in Chicago this year. They have suggested the kids buy long underwear to wear under their uniforms for warmth. She could also use some extra warmth for some of the chilly nights...

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...
