My wife has decided to start making clothes for our son and curtains etc for the new house we're moving to soon. She's got a sewing machine, some material and some patterns. She's looking for books/magazines/websites that will give her tips and general help. I know this is nothing to do with genealogy but some of you are bound to know a lot about this subject too. Thanks! |

How weird is this! I have had my sewing machine out today after approx 10 years!! Couldn't find the manual but I managed to remember how to thread it. It recovered from the shock and is now all tucked back in its corner. Kathy Epsom, SRY |

Dear John, Tell your wife to go to your nearest W.H.Smiths they have books and magazines for everything. Also a Singer Sewing shop they hold all the patterns there. There are lots of magazines that I get House Beautiful, also any other ones to do with home styling. I have been a seamstress on and off for 40yrs. I started making my own clothes at the age of 12. I have made a couple of Wedding dresses and loads of Bridesmaids dresses. I've recovered three piece suites and also lots of soft furnishings ( curtains, cushions etc;) The sewing machine I still use was bought for me by my ex-mother in law in 1975, a Toyota and it works perfect. Be happy in your new home John. Best wishes Diane............... |
