Re: Book Giveaway: "Little Things to Sew"

I am just now getting back to sewing baby/children's items for my neices and friends of my 27 yr old daughter who are now having children. What fun - and my, how things have changed! I'd love this book! Who knows, maybe if I win the book it will prime the universe to send me a new grandbaby - a girl this time would be fun! Thank you Threads, for keeping us stimulated, inspired and excited about sewing!

Re: Staying a Neckline and Armhole

I just realized that I misunderstood what is meant by the "inside of the seam line". To me, sewing just inside the seam line would mean that I would stitch a tiny bit into the garment side of the piece. I called the place toward the garment edge "just outside of the seam line "! Yikes! All these years of sewing and no wonder some of my projects were less than successful. Thank you for such clear ins ruction and photos in your articles.

Re: Bias Tops from July 2009 magazine

I need some help if you can please. I made this top tonight and it is like a tent! Very east to construct and I even followed the corrected info in the editorial section of the following magazine. My top goes down to my knees (I'm 5'1') and the underarms are at my waist!

My total hip measurement is 45 and that is the number I've used for the big square per the corrected instructions. I used 22 1/2 for the small square. It was very easy and fun but does not look anything like the tops above. Can anyone help? Jackie
