ohbegrey writes: sewfashionistic: re: 45/60 inch fabric--pattern layouts are accommodated differently by the different widths, thus another difference in yardage requirements. also, use caution when using crosswise of the fabric for the lengthwise of the garment--the crosswise grain sometimes stretches slightly (more) than the lengthwise grain and can affect the drape/fit of the garment. happy sewing!

bunbun writes: I am excited about the information in March of '09 on The Golden Rule of Proportions. I am mathamatically challenged, could you tell me where to find more measurments to do for proportions? I love the one for the length of the skirt, what do you measure for width? For jackets? For accessories? Is there a book somewhere for someone with limited understanding of it? Posted: 7:15 pm on June 15th

SUZAG writes: You can research the age of Grandma's sewing machine on the Singer Sewing Machine Co. site. With the serial number you can find out when it was manufactured. Unfortunately, they aren't worth too much (look on e-Bay)but they make a very stunning decorative piece in a living room. I've cleaned two up and the detail work is beautiful! Treasure it!

Creativefool writes: To sewfashionistic: I'll try to answer your question: Well mathematically speaking 1 yard of material that is 60 inches wide has 2160 square inches in it, but a yard of material that is 45 inches wide only has 1620 inches in it. I'm petite so when I make slacks I never need to buy as much material as a pattern calls for, because I can lay the pattern out on the crossgrain of the material, which is different than called for in the pattern layout.

sewfashionistic writes: Help please - what is the difference between 45" and 60" and why does the 45" call for more fabric on smaller sizes than the 60"?

EmKay96 writes: Erikamr,
Have you contacted museums in your area? They could probably provide you with the best advice. Barring that, contact your local library and ask the librarian to help you with a search for museums or organizations that might be interested in treadle sewing machines.

Sometimes the phone book and the librarian are your best resources. Good luck! Posted: 11:10 pm on May 29th

Ckbklady writes: Altz was wondering how to get Marfy patterns. Altz, go to www.butterickpatterns.com and check out the Marfy link on the main page - it will lead you to a shop/order page.

I've used a couple of Marfy patterns and can tell you that while they're certainly stylish and pleasingly challenging, they're no better than Threads/Simplicity or Burda. I never was a Simplicity fan until Threads signed on. Their shared patterns were a thrill to see on the runway at the Sew Expo in Puyallup last month.

Good luck getting Marfy, and let us know in Gatherings how you like them! Posted: 2:59 pm on March 18th

altz writes: I am trying to locate a source for the Marfy pattern 1666 that was featured on Page 15 of the Feb/Mar issue of Threads. I emailed them but nothing. Where can I find that pattern? Thank you! Posted: 5:28 pm on March 11th

I'm looking for a good book or instructional on how to alter clothing (not necessarily patterns). Any advice will help!

shaedee writes: Looking forward to doing more here, but am having trouble posting on my page. Looks good here, and by the way Sewmanydogz you might check for the patterns that are done by the woman who does the coats and other vests etc, with pockets for travelling, she has quite a few choices in coats, also a site named sewingpatterns.com or sewingpatternreview.com,
The one which I like a lot is called thesewingplace.com
it has the various designers listed and then you click to see the entire line of patterns. good luck with your search. marcia Posted: 3:41 am on February 11th

Thank you and I love Threads magazine. Posted: 9:15 pm on February 9th

kittle writes: I am trying to find fabric similar to that shown in Simplicity Pattern 2703, which is a Thread's Magazine collection pattern.

My daughter would like to sew this for a 4H project this year and LOVES the patterns of the dress and shirt.

Any ideas where I can find a similar fabric? Posted: 10:52 pm on January 22nd

sewmanydawgz writes: Have been to lots of post-holiday sales, Magellan's & Travel-
Smith's websites, and a few other etailers, and some catalogs
and still can't find what I want in the way of my "dream travel coat", so (as usual) I'll have to make it; Single-
breasted (concealed placket a plus-), 3/4 length modified-
type Swing coat, w/ removable liner and hood - anybody have
any idea where one might find a ready-made pattern for such a thing ? I can make the pattern, but would like to find it
already done just to save some time - but based on what I've seen in the major pattern co.'s offerings (and some online
pattern co.'s as well), it's slim-to-no pickins for this item, which is why I'm asking ? ? ? Posted: 3:25 pm on January 17th

BeverlyKnight writes: To Gayela--- Add a yoke to the top of the skirts. If they have pleats and a waistband, stay stitch the pleats before taking off the waistband. Add the yoke-the desired length-then re-attach the waistband. Use a co-ordinating fabric for yoke. Posted: 1:27 pm on December 31st

kreativelady writes: Hi, Just finished reading article for making the perfect garment for different shapes. I believe they referred it to a manican-style body using tight fitting material. It peaked my interest. Teaching children to make simple outfits for their projects appeals to me. Sizes are`always unpredictible, and outfits are time consumung getting each one to fit properly. Where is this information for this source to order? dancersimage. Posted: 7:54 pm on December 18th

smartsewing writes: Hi Neufiesmom
If you have a pattern that has a collor with a stand attached. You can use the stand just to mak a mandrine collor. Posted: 11:33 am on December 16th

smartsewing writes: I would add lace to the hem or wear over leggings. You could also add plain fabric to the hem matching the tartan, put some of this trim in pockets or belt to make the addition look as if it was always there. Posted: 11:28 am on December 16th

Its only because i get bored doing a one way stitch method,and its a great new challenge too. Posted: 10:31 am on December 3rd

After finding the jeans and getting ready to make the purse, I could not find the right issue of the magazine. Am I imaging it or can someone tell me which issue it was in. I also take Sew News, but I was certain it was in THREADS. Posted: 11:40 pm on November 24th
