Questions

Sewing Machine Won't Sew Stretch FabricI'm having a problems with my antique Singer sewing machine. It won't stitch two pieces of stretch material together anymore. It will sew through a single piece, but not stitch them together. I've tried everything, re-threading, checking the bobbin and its casing, and changing the needle.

Discontinued Simplicity Pattern #4269 - photo of pattern envelop

Discontinued Simplicity Pattern #4269Does anyone know where I can get Simplicity pattern 4269? It's a wedding dress/Belle costume. I have seen it on eBay and etsy, but can't find any for sale.

Making a Wedding Gown Bodice - young woman wearing the dress

Making a Wedding Gown BodiceIt looks like a drop waist, but on the hanger it looks nowhere near drop waist. I guess my question is, where would the bodice end? Below, or above the belly button, etc? I'm making a wedding gown, and this is the bodice length/style I would like. I am a newbie to sewing.

Dog Clothes Don't Fit WellI have a large, 100 lb., Boxer that I have purchased and made shirts for. No matter which I put on him they won't stay in place, they tend to slide down his back and the neck gets stretched out. What am I doing wrong?

Welder's Multi-size Cap PattenI need a welder's cap pattern with different sizes. I have a grandson and son- in-law that are welders. I would like to be able to fit the pattern to each of them. They live 5-6 hours away from me; problem! I would like to buy one with multi-sizes available.
