| RE: Sewing Patterns Swap Groups |
|
As I read this "wanted" post. I almost thought it was mine from another site...lol. I too, after 20 some years have gone back to sewing and I too find patterns to be outrageous, what a great way to get patterns should anyone have some used ones for sale, or trade. I would use 8/10/12 pattern! Thank you for your time! ... View related article. |

| RE: Painting a Bird Bath |
Good morning..
I suggest that you use "Patio Paints" made by DecoArt- they are strictly for indoor/outdoor projects and I do have a few instructions leaflets for birdbaths from Terra Cotta Pots and it suggests to use these type paints. Good luck..oh, you can find them at Michaels or Hobby Lobby. I have not seen them at any Walmart. ... View related article. |

| RE: Round Table Cloth Crochet Pattern |
Good morning. I have 3 crochet patterns for round tables; first one is 43.5x60.4, (because it has a scalloped type edging) the second pattern is 60" in diameter, then third one is 64" in diameter. The last two patterns are from Coats & Clark's 1964, the first one is from Annie's Favorite-1999...if you are interested in any OR all 3, I would be more than happy to scan and send them via email. If you prefer snail mail, let me know and we can work something out.

| RE: Learning to Knit Vs. Crochet |
I am 64 yrs old and at age 12, someone taught me to knit first, then taught me to crochet. Once you learn both, you will be able to decide to which one you will adapt to the better. In my opinion, crocheting is faster and is more versatile than knitting and through the years, I have learned from various people that learned to crochet first..have no interest in learning to knit but to knit first, then crochet. You have the best of both worlds.

| RE: Fixing a Peeling Iron-on Transfer |
Use fusible webbing....Pellon works the best! This is used to adhere fabric to fabric. The instructions are on the Pellon. Hope this works for you!

| RE: Restoring Childhood Blanket |
I, myself, would purchase a fleece or flannel backing and use fusible webbing (Wonder Under) to adhere both pieces together using a hot iron and a damp cloth as you are fusing. Find a material as close as you can possible find to match the blanket and cut slightly larger than the holes, place between the blanket and the backing. Adhere those first, then iron (fuse) the rest of the blanket, working from inside to outside edges.
Just to be on the safe side because flannel has a tendency to stick to hot iron, use a cotton material to cover the parts of the blanket that the iron may touch where the damp cloth doesn't touch (hope that makes sense) this will protect that blanket. Also another tip, if you pin all of this together ahead of time, this should aid in keeping the blanket and the backing as straight as possible. Should the edges not quite match when you are finished fusing, use seam binding and sew around edges, salvaging as much as you possibly can without cutting any edging off what so ever.
This is really more simple than is sounds. I just made a roller shade using Wonder Under and fused two different fabrics together. It turned out really well. Please let us know what you decided to do and how it turned out for you! Elaine ... View related article. |
