Hi! I bought a really cute pattern for a set of ironing accessories, such as a sleeve roll, dressmaker's ham, etc. The problem is I cannot find the required filling material, sawdust, *anywhere*! Of course the first places I tried were the Home Depot/Lowe's types. I got blank stares and was...

This happened last week: on Monday, to be precise--keep the day in mind, because it is important to the story line: Phone rings. I answer. Breathless voice announces with great familiarity: "I'm bad...I think I've waited too long...haven't I? I mean, I really need a prom gown made! I'm really bad,...

Hi y'all! I'm trying to figure out how to attach a foam rubber visor onto a garment and was hoping someone here might have some good ideas. The problem with sewing into the foam rubber is that the thread quickly tears through the material. Hard plastic visors won't work. I think I need some type...

Wednesday was the first day of the fabric sale. I spent more than a few hours checking out all there was to offer. To put it mildly, I had a BALL! If you can manage to make it there before it ends on Saturday, you won't regret it. I see they have also added sewing machines and rugs to...

I've got some copperish colored sueded tencel that I'm about to make a shirt out of. The two sides each have their own qualities and I'm undecided on which to use. Either side shows a crumpled look, which is good. One side is shinier and shows the weave a little more evidently. The appeal is...

Not really, I know that's not allowed :B . I wouldn't do that! A five year-old had a pirates and mermaids costume today, and when making my lil' sisters mermaid tail the way-too-expensive-for-what-it-was fabric kept slipping and the fabric would tear and the thread would brake!!! woe was me!!!...

Well, I was looking at CheapTrims for the first time and the creative juices started flowing. I was looking at the feather trim on tapes and got a little designing brainstorm. Well, maybe not a completely original idea but I'm a Fashiontrance fan and I've seen some haute designs with feathers and I...

I dug my Singer 111W155 out yesterday, and am pressing it into service. When reading the manual, it has several lubricants listed, most of which would probably be hard to find. I haven't looked yet at the sewing machine or fabric stores. Is there a big difference between oils, say like Singer,...

DH just informed me this is my Christmas present. What is the best software, or what do I need, to adapt other formats of images? I am not even sure if I am asking this correctly, but I noticed that there are companies that cater to certain brands of machines, and I would like to know how easy,...

I was trying to find someone on the PACC referral list near me who would copy a jumper that fits me perfectly, and there isn't anybody on the list who says they do that kind of thing, and there are pitifully few people around me anyway. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to find someone who...
