Hello! I have a favorite 4-piece outfit that fits and wears like a dream (pants, vest top, and jacket); however, it is winter wear. I would like to copy this outfit for a spring/summer outfit. It has simple lines, but I don't know how to begin. I was certain that I have heard of this kind of thing...

Hello, rcts. I am new to this group. I have the original manual for the Sears Kenmore model 2142 sewing machine and apparently for the Sears Kenmore model 1750 sewing machine as well. I am writing those out so people can find this post. My day started at G Street Fabrics near here. I got a bulb...

Hi All, I'm new to this group, so I hope no one minds me jumping right in with questions. Do any of you buy fabric online? I checked out two samples of drapery fabric from Hancock and I wanted to see if I could find a better price online or at a different store, but I'm having a heck of a time...

My news reader on Outlook Express just informed me that I can no longer get the alt.sewing group!!!! Can someone tell me how to get another reader??.....or something??.......

I'm looking for the US Navy fabric that Hancock's had a year or two ago. It has a navy background with 1 1/2 inch Official Seal of the US Navy on it. Anyone have some they are willing to part with or know where i can get some? Thanks!

I have some old satin I would like to use and some of it has some faded patches (I think from light). Is it possible to wash it so it all matches or is there a way to blend the colors with some type of stain remover? Thanks! LB

Last month I posted a question about cutting strips for a futon cover I was working on. Just wanted to say thanks for the tips. My strips ended up reasonably straight. And here's a photo of the cover and my sewing room in general. I know you guys are pretty talented sewers here so you probably...

I'm making a pair of shorts for someone far away and I was wondering how I should measure the elastic for the waistband to make them fit just right? If the person has a size 32" waist, should the elastic be just a bit smaller than that or do you measure exactly the right size? Or allow a bit...

Please excuse if this shows up twice. ............... I have been searching for info or a pattern on making a man's coat for hours off and on and get nowhere. I am thinking of something like a Navy Peacoat.

I was trying to sell stuff on ebay and I just couldn't handle all the fees. At You've Made It! we charge $1.00 for each item you sell. No other fees. Nothing to list items, nothing to open an account, no percentage of final sale taken. This site is brand new, and I would really like to get...

I made a pair of jodhpurs recently. Ridiculous things - just a one-off for a party. I'll be wearing them together with jackboots and a rather 19th century military jacket for a "Ruritanian Space Cavalry" look. http://www.livejournal.com/users/quercus/79246.html?view=226446 The interesting part...
