AnneMarie W · 18 hours ago Plus Member

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.

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

SewHayleyJane · 2 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 · 2 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 · 2 days ago

Interfacing Help Needed

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.

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...
