Re: "Baby, it's cold outside"

I just wish all those who have made their coats would be so kind as to post pictures!

Re: McCall's patterns for your fabric stash

Am I correct in thinking that the description of pattern #6511 should be "racer-back" not "razor-back"?

Re: Patterns: Wide Leg Pants

I have used Sandra Betzina's one-seam pants pattern for several (about 15?) pair and love them! Silk dupioni for the most part and some in drapery-weight linen. Some with cuffs and some without.

Re: Front Edge and Shoulder Pads for Fantasy Fur Jacket

OH, MY! I would so love to wear this jacket but could never afford it in this lifetime!

Re: Turning Pillowcases Into Dresses

THANKS to the subsequent comments on this article, I now see where that person was coming from when labeling this idea as a "total joke".
Appreciate the enlightenment and will go forward to try to make some of these myself.

Re: Turning Pillowcases Into Dresses

I don't understand why the previous poster felt this was a "total joke". Wouold someone please enlighten me? Thanks.

Re: 30-Minute Jacket

WOW! Finally took the time to read ALL the comments and see that I missed the fact of 2 3/4 yards X 25 inches. Back to the drawing board! Did use 1/4 inch graph paper and made 2 little jackets (pinned only) for a doll (wooden drawing articulated figure). Too cute and also made the saecond one in striped fabric so could compare with Issue #100. Is there a gallery for this as yet?

Re: Classic Bound Buttonhole

I sewed many a bound buttonhole back in the 50s, even a triangle shape but have not done a corded one. Just may try it!

Re: Book Giveaway: "Horrockses Fashions: Off-the-Peg Style in the '40s and '50s"

Oh, my goodness! I made those clothes in the 50s!
If I am not one of the lucky winners, I may have to track down and purchase this book!

Re: Sewing with the bobbin thread

I did this technique "about" 40 years ago! Thank you, Kenneth King for refreshing my memory!

Re: Get Biased

"Dying" to try this out and glad to see the correction before I cut into any fabric but if I may make a suggestion? How about referring to the second piece of fabric as a "rectangle" and not a "square"?

Re: hand painted ultrasuede journal - copper

Oh, YUMMY! I have the Ultrasuede, the Lumiere paints; now to get a "round tuit"!

Re: Hell in a Handbasket Hoody

Would really like to know what the fabric is? My first thought on seeing the article was how neat it would be made from fleece (no fraying edges with which to contend!).
