Second Pair Of Parker Pants

This is second pair of Parker Pants by BF Patterns. They are such a straightforward make. Well drafted, with good instructions. The fabric is a great Cotton (97%) Elastane (3%) from 1st For Fabrics.

Stay Stitching Question

AnnieRose · 1 day ago

Yes I get that. I save the selvedges of organza, and sometimes tack those onto the fabric instead of the usual stay stitch.

what an elegant dress and pattern. The birds are exquisite and the bold colors are not over the top. Really like the long sleeve openings..not tight and not bat wings. stunning. well done!

Deanna · 1 day ago

Such a beautiful bold print! Beautiful on you! And how does it feel to have the precious fabric made up in a garment?

Stay Stitching Question

Deanna · 1 day ago

I never stay stitch. I find that adding that row of stitching will actually stretch out the seam line a little. I just sew the final seam without stretching, and distorting. If the fabric is really limp and you have to install a collar for example,...

What Should A Clothing Brand Have Ready Before Working With A Manufacturer?

Check out The Entrepreneur's Guide to Sewn Product Manufacturing, by Kathleen Fasanella. Incredible resource!

Book Club!

If at all possible, I’d love to join you. I’m on central time in the USA- six hours behind GMT, so it’s not likely to work- but I’ll try to read it over the next couple of weeks.

I’m always on for a book club. I read this book a few years ago, so interested to hear what others think. It was the title that grabbed me - how could it not.

That looks fabulous, Pam! I actually like the sleeves, I think they look great. Fabric is lovely too.

What Should A Clothing Brand Have Ready Before Working With A Manufacturer?

SewHayleyJane · 4 days ago Admin

Hi, Thank you for your question but I'm not sure this is the right platform for you - this is a space for home sewists who take a pattern and make themselves a garment from it as a hobby. I doubt you will find anyone who has worked with a...

Stay Stitching Question

SewHayleyJane · 4 days ago Admin

I'll be honest, I don't think I've ever changed the stitch length to stay stitch - but it does make sense to go shorter as Annie says

Stay Stitching Question

AnnieRose · 4 days ago

I would normally say shorter, as you have to navigate the curve, and the longer each stitch is, the less accurate the turn. My Janome Atlier 7 actually has a 'curve' stitch and it is shorter. Having said that, it does depend on your fabric, the...

Stay Stitching Question

Sharon · 4 days ago Plus Member

When stay stitching a curved edge to stabilize it - should the stitch length be longer or shorter?

What Should A Clothing Brand Have Ready Before Working With A Manufacturer?

LydiaDesignStudio · 5 days ago

I’ve noticed that a lot of production problems start before manufacturing even begins. When a brand approaches clothing manufacturers without finalized measurements, clear construction details, fabric direction, or an approved sample, the development...

Interfacing Help Needed

Wendy_sews64 · 5 days ago

I bought a sample pack of popular types of interfacing from William Gee - it's great when I need something different from my usual type. The pieces are small, but you can feel them and they have good descriptions.

Book Club!

SewHayleyJane · 6 days ago Admin

After much discussion about books in the socials I’ve decided to add a bi-monthly book club to the run of events! The first book will be The Sewing Machine by Natalie Fergie (They won’t all be sewing themed) Date tba but will be in November
