Re: Enter to Win a One-Year Subscription to Threads!
I love Threads, I was an original subscriber. I liked in the beginning when there was knitting included.

Learning to see creatively. For instance the jacket Mary has on in the video is so cute & makes how outfit uniquely exceptional yet if I saw it in a pattern book I would pass it by.

Where does #1664 slacks & skirt sit in terms of the waist?

I used scotch tape to hold it in place so I could measure it myself, worked great!

Hi Louise,
posted: 11:50 pm on February 6thGreat tutorial. How would I add a dart to a camisole? Would I estimate the measurement from my shoulder to bust point?
A measurement I would like clarified is when measuring from to shoulder to the waist, are we suppose to run the tape with our fingers under our bust or let it fall straight to the waist. I would think it could make a difference for big breast.
Thank you,
Linda

posted: 8:31 pm on January 15thRe: Video: A Neckline Binding for Knits
I was searching the high end stores for neck finishes. The one that intrigued me was a binding like this but smaller, about 1/4 to 3/8 inch & it had elastic added. The elastic would be 1/8 inch. Then it had twin needle stitching. The underside was completely enclosed.

Janette,
posted: 10:10 pm on April 10thI do not believe this particular feature has a video, it is a PDF file. Notice the blue box at the bottom right of the picture. This is the information for the dress.
Re: Mystery Plait Tote
How clever of you, I really like this idea. I was looking at upper end purses & saw this type of handle.

The fabric Mary Ellen started with is beautiful. It was purchased at the trade show. Where can ladies who do not go to trade shows purchase such fabric?

Hi Latha,
posted: 2:14 pm on June 26thYour handbag is very nice. How did you go about designing the pattern? Meaning what tools did you use, geometry principals, create a paper pattern?
I have been thinking of making handbags but I do not know what procedure to use. Also wondering where to find good quality textiles to work with.
Thank you & congratulations on a great piece.
Linda
