Fun with Fabric / Re: Fabric advice please

Maybe lightweight cotton seersucker?  Not as drape-y as lawn so it depends on your pattern and preferences.

Hi, I'm new... / Another one from the US

Hi everyone
I found you through a post by Manuela on another forum (thank you Manuela).  I'm recognizing some names from other places as well.  Such a nice group here!

I live in the northeastern US (we still have snow) and am so looking forward to seeing something green again.  Meanwhile, I keep busy with mostly garment sewing for a casual lifestyle, a little bit of quilting, a little bit of knitting and hopefully a bit of  gardening sooner or later.  I love flowers but I'm not up to major digging any more so they mostly go in pots now.

 Looking forward to reading more and posting when I actually have something to contribute.  I'm not much of a talker - usually. ;)

I've seen it used to create appliques on cushion covers and casual clothing (like letters on a sweatshirt or hoodie).  Some leave it as is, some blanket stitch around the applique.  I'm not sure I would trust it in the wash, myself.

A Good Yarn / Re: Horse crochet pattern

It's so hard to lose animal friends  :(   The day after I lost my wonderful Berner (avatar), I happened on a Berner puppy stuffed toy and promptly bought it.  It still makes me smile.  I hope the same idea helps your daughter.

De-lurking - I joined very recently and am still learning my way around.  Ravelry has this one, which is also available on Etsy as a download:



Could it be a starting point for you?
