Hi! thanks for the nice comments…..The sushi was actually made for my 16 year old neighbour who is also in love with sushi, she was very happy with it! As for tips on making cute critters I’d say take your time creating facial expressions…cut out a couple of pieces of felt the size of in tended eyes and pin them to your toy to see what position works best. Also most of the big teddy bear making sites have excellent tips on sewing furry fabrics, using safety eyes and stuffing. Let me know how you get on! Becky

Hi! Sorry I had no idea you wrote on my wall! For the strapless dress it was actually sort of a bad idea, haha. I simply didn’t sew them on and just “tucked them in” to the dress. It kind of made it more of a hassle than it really is so I took it apart and sewed it together. Hope that helps!

For the simplicity pattern (tie sleeves), I think I used the size 14 too (based on my measurements). I normally wear a 6 or 8 store-bought dress.There is plenty of room in the body of the dress, but the neck actually feels kind of tight.
Didn’t do any altering though. Good luck! I get so many complements on mine, especially when I wore them with tights in the winter.

Thanks for your compliments on my top. I like the patterned band you put on your dress. I might borrow that idea when I get round to making my next project, I like the bright blue too!

DJ, RE: your armscye trouble. In case you don’t have time to go to the forum, here are two websites that may be of some help. freeembroidery.net – Chapter 13 scroll down to arms and sleeves area. and feisdressblog.blogspot.com look for something like “so you can’t move your arms…” The forum has a clearer set of directions. Cordially, Nehmah

Hi, I am new to the site…and I see u have done the Kasia Skirt pattern, I have been trying 2 find out how 2 get it for a school project. I am new 2 the site and I don’t know what’s what yet. I have found out how 2 get the directions to make this pattern but not the actual pattern.. On the directions its says things about printing….so I am little confused…… It is probably dead obvious and I look like an idiot but…….Any help would be great…………….
xoxo

Printing? It says to print you the pattern from your printer. And if you don’t have a printer, you can send it to a store that does prints. :] If you go the actual pattern place, it says get it right? Well after that it should open the pattern up in a new window, then just hit print.
