I've also got the fold out cardboard one, had it about 30 years. It's so useful. I highly recommend it.

Sewing Machines / Bernina 1008
« on: October 18, 2018, 23:18:19 PM »
I have always wanted a Bernina sewing machine & I may have an oppurtunity to buy a used Bernina 1008.
Is there anything I should ask when I speak to the seller? And can you advise me how do I decide how much to offer?
I'd appreciate any advice, thanks

Fun with Fabric / Re: Cheaper alternative to Art Gallery?
« on: October 05, 2018, 22:58:43 PM »
I bought this at Abakhan in Manchester in one of the bins that are sold by weight . I don't remember what I paid but it was a lot, lot less than £20 a
metre. Now I don't know whether it's suitable for what I wanted wanted it for. It's very stretchy and not very drapey. I went for it because I knew Art Gallery Fabrics are good quality and pricey so I had to have it! AGF

I often have to do a similar repair to DS's jeans. I do something very similar but without opening the seam.

Patterns Discussion / Re: Searching for a dress pattern. Can anyone help?
« on: November 14, 2017, 12:02:57 PM »
Yes thank you. That's it.
Only now I'm not sure.
I do love swing dresses though.
I think I better buy the pattern & make a toile after you've gone to all that trouble to help me.

Thanks uttaretch, that frill is almost it but the one I saw has the frill only on the back and not as much shaping with princess seams.

I was hoping for a more positive comment.
Utta you clearly don't like this. Is that the general feeling?

Fun with Fabric / Scuba?

Hi
I saw some lovely scuba fabric in Abakhan. I was wondering whether you could tell me what garments you have sewn using scuba. Can you direct me to photos? Any advice for using scuba?
I saw a Simplicity pattern Project Runway Dress 8213 which specifies that it's especially for scuba, but i'd love some other recommendations
Thanks

Patterns Discussion / Searching for a dress pattern. Can anyone help?
« on: October 10, 2017, 14:11:35 PM »
Hi
2 to 3 months ago I saw a dress pattern I really liked. I probably noted the number but I dont remember where.
I@m fairly certain it was one of the big name pattern companies.
The style was a plain front, shift dress style & the back had a gathered panel towards the hem. I've probably not described it very well but can anyone help?
I've looked through webites with no success.
TIA
