Is anyone able to discuss fashion fabrics for bra-making? I'm interested in going further than the typical solid tricots. It sounds like organza is a fabric of choice for sheer lining. Does it do well as the fashion fabric too? I'm also considering georgette, crepe de chine, charmeuse, and...

I was poking through the closet and found a pair of trousers I bought and apparently never wore. I bought them when I was a couple sizes larger than I am now though, and if I want to wear them, I'll have to take them in. I'm trying to decide if its worth the effort. They have a fitted waistband...

I just opened a little store selling fabric for upholstery, drapery, curtains, etc. You can order samples and the complete cost of the sample order will be deducted from the fabric order when you decide what you'd like to order.

Would it be possible to just take out the hem stitching, cut the worn area off and re-hem? Would it be too short then? You might think about using hem tape. HTH Barbara in SC and now FL

Hello, I'm new to this group. I'll soon be sewing drapes for my kitchen area. I'd like to know if there's any advice as to what type of lining is best? I'll be using Waverly's fabric "Garden Images" and have selected 3 other Swavelle Mill Creek 100% cotton fabrics for the trim, chair pads,...

She used to go to this old place that did buttons. Not much else, buttons, buttonholes, covering of buttons....

Up till now, all my jackets and coats have been in handwoven coarse wool/cotton fabric. My current project is a blazer for my wife made from a light commercial polyester/cotton fabric and I can not get away with sloppy stitching anymore. Joining the collar at the lapel calls for a "ladder stitch"...
