cementing PVC fabric by ccc31807
What is the best product to use to join two pieces of PVC fabric? This needs to be absolutely water tight, so I can't sew it. It also needs to be able to take a fair amount of stress, so I can't just tape it. Thanks, CC.

sun hat pattern by G
Hi all, I just came back from vacation w/ a nasty sunburn and I've been thinking about sewing my own sun hat, since hats at the stores are always too small for my evidently enormous head. Does anyone have some tips on how to construct one? I've seen a couple of patterns, but again the standard...

Flannel by Angela Moak
Okay, I went a little nuts after Thanksgiving at JoAnns and bought about 40 yards of flannel. My question is this, it is labeled "not intended for children's sleepwear" does this include things like receiving blankets? I want to make some light receiving blankets for two of my employees, but I...

My friend and I really want to start sewing (Me mainly after many irritating shopping trips where nothing fits exactly right) and I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good starter machine?

hypotheses regarding human headshape and hat shapes by Neil Fernandez
Hypotheses: - human head shape, in a horizontal plane just above the ears, is approximately the shape made by joining a semicircle with a semi-ellipse, where the ellipse has eccentricity 1/sqrt(2) - hat ovals are ellipses with eccentricity 0.5 I'd be grateful for any help with this.

Has anyone ever MacGyvered way to have regular sewing machine hold thread cone? by Craftsy
A couple of years ago or so, I saw a sale for cones of thread at a very good price so I bought a couple. I've since never been able to figure out how to use them on my regular sewing machine. When I went around Xmas to fabric store, they told me that those were for sergers and that I couldn't use...

Help please.... My Singer 27K (old) has indigestion by canna
I have a copy of the old Singer 27k manual, but even so cannot improve the mess I'm in. The machine sews with a long line of thread on the top surface of the material, with intermittant loops over the thread. The fun starts underneath the material, where there is a tangled forest of sewing...

Determining Your Size on Patterns?? by dogmom
According to the measurements on patterns I am a size 12, give or take. But when I buy ready-made clothes I'm size 6 or 8. I don't think it's just flattering marketing, either--I was told 20 years ago by a saleslady that I was a 6 when I told her I was a 12, because I'd always sewn my own...

Old dresses and clothes by Jon Haugsand
Is anybody here into the making of old dresses and other clothes? Maybe another forum than r.c.t.sewing would be appropriate? My daughter is impressively interested in clothes all way from the middle age up to the WWII. She is, unfortenately, not very found of sewing machines, and would more like...

Need advice on purchase of new machine by Myrna
HI, All, I just tried to wind a bobbin on my 30-year-old Sears sewing machine and the winder will not turn. I took the thing apart and can't see what might be wrong. The local repair place says it will probably cast $60-$70 to fix. I'm wondering if I should just go buy a new machine. So here's my...

How much to charge? by Lori Reynolds
Hi there -- I've been asked by our local ballet (at which my 10 year old daughter is a student) to make some costumes. I've had lots of experience making things for my own family's use, but have never charged anyone a fee, so I don't know what I'm worth, so to speak. I'd love to have some input...

Home - in stitches! (Slightly OT) by Kate Dicey
I got home on Christmas Eve, and my sister delivered the lad home shortly after. HE, naturally, had had a lovely time. Mine was less fun... It was touch and go for a moment or three on the keyhole, as the stone was almost too big to allow it! As a result, I have 'Church Door' keyhole! The hole...
