I am looking for a pattern that will somewhat resemble an high school letterman's jacket. I can't find anything! Any ideas? I'd like something that comes in different sizes so that I can make my grandson's something to wear in jr high etc. I quilt so I have all these ideas flowing thru my head. ...

This won't help your cause but I am looking for Marseilles fabric-- a cotton woven fabric from France. Anyone know where that is to buy?

I just answered an ad from a woman who is looking for someone to help her do smocking. I can either (using her material) do the basic construction of the garment, smock it and send it back to her, or I can complete the entire dress. My question is how much do I charge for either way I decide to...

Is there a sewist in the Portland, Oregon, U.S.A. area (say 50 mile radius), who already _owns_ an embroidery machine, and who would be willing to do a small contract job for me? Someday I'm going to invest in a machine, but right now is not the time, I can't budget the expense and I _really_...

I'm having a rather stressful day, and I took out my frustration on this group. I'm sorry! Melinda, will you please ignore me for the next couple of days? I have a contract with a concrete contractor who, so far, has torn up my front driveway, and hasn't come back to put in the new one. Yuck! I...

I've googled, but everything I have found so far has been in women's sizes S-M-L or 0 up to 7. I have large hands and I wear a 7, it would be too small for my new SIL, who wants a large man's thimble, I'd like to find him both a metal and a leather one. Anyone??? TIA, --

Two of the bridesmaids have asked to have chiffon stoles and/or draping on their dresses. Purple, now you all know how easy that is to match, right? After failing to find what I needed at TSWLTH (three different stores near me), or at Fabric Depot, which has a better selection, but not what I...

DD is coming today to work with me on placement of the lace at the hem of her wedding gown. I bought 60" lace yardage which is finished with a nice scallop on both edges, so I will be cutting 8" or so strips and using rayon thread on the 401A to finish the cut edge. (She wants her veil made out...
