Sewing Techniquesadvice on hemming wedding dress liningHello The hem can definitely be merged together.  if the lining hem is fused now there is no reason why it can 't be fused to shorten it. Make sure you are using the proper fusing product. I would recommend Sewkeys E - double sided fusible stay tape. It can be purchased at www.emmaseabrooke.comWendyLynneWendyLynne18 months ago
Sewing Techniquesadvice on hemming wedding dress liningWe just took my daughter's wedding dress for alterations. I was planning to do the hem myself. The 2 layers of sheer tulle can just be cut to length, underneath lining is double layer knit that is fused together at the bottom. Since it won't show, I was thinking I could do a rolled hem with wooly nylon, but the seamstress said it wouldn't drape correctly. Can I just ...jrmama4219 months ago

Patterns and InstructionsButterick B6212I really want to make this dress but I know from previous bought pattern experience that I will struggle to adapt it to fit me.

The version I want to make is version A but with the addition of the tie at the back. Can ...threesixtystitch21 months ago

Patterns and InstructionsDelete sizes marked as "error"I've had this issue too, after making several preview patterns and getting errors on all of them, I figured out that the computer is switching the hip and full hip values. I don't know how to get around it because when you switch the values on the user end it gives you an error that the full hip should be larger than the hip.  It's a them problem not a you problemkschwarzzy23 months ago
Patterns and InstructionsDelete sizes marked as "error"I input new measurements into 'My Sizes' and it got marked as "error" instead of "complete". I tried to enter it again, but the same thing happened. I tried re-entering the original measurements that I was trying to replace, and it got marked as "error" too. I now have 4 sizes all marked as "error". I don't know what's going wrong and I can't find the option to ...j1245623 months ago
Patterns and Instructionsmaking changes to sizesIs there a way to take an already created pattern, which has my custom saved size applied to it and modify some of the measurements within the saved size file?
