This is a precious fabric sew. I love it so much that repeatedly put off cutting into it despite it still being available and that I have made this dress pattern before. The full on print won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but I love birds and...

That's a lovely idea! Tilly and the Buttons have a free pattern for an eye mask that should do the trick! https://tillyandthebuttons.com/products/fifi-eye-mask?_pos=1&_sid=19764373d&_ss=r

Interfacing Help Needed

Morning, I need to purchase some medium weight fusible stretch interfacing, does interfacing come in stretch, I can only find interfacing for cotton, anybody have any knowledge of where I can purchase some and if it would be called something else?

I actually just took a large fall themed jelly roll scrappy quilt top to get quilted this morning. I’ll see it in about 4 weeks. I’m pretty new to quilting. It’s super fun but my passion is sewing apparel. I’m currently making the Prelude Zipper...

Small Iron For Craft And Corners

sew_itz_vicki · 6 days ago Community Member

I have the prym mini iron and it’s great. I’ve had it since 2020 and it’s still going strong. It’s great for interfacing and pressing seams while I am sewing. I use it with a mini ironing board which is always set up in my sewing area and saves the...

MsLolsalot · 6 days ago Plus Member

Thank you DonnieH! I’ve looked at that one. I love the look of it. I’m just concerned that my super drapey fabric would look odd with the wide sleeves. I suppose some interfacing would help with that… I really appreciate your suggestion!

Hi Anniehen, My style is pretty basic- button down tops, popovers with v-neck, wrap tops with knit fabric. I’ve considered using the seamwork hansie pattern with this fabric as it has no style lines beyond bust darts or some other popover style...

I really like the Moss jacket from Helen's closet - you can play around with lengths for the jacket and sleeves. The sleeves are a simple straight seam.
