Hi i sent an email ref the sewing machine pin cushion with a pic as for some reason i couldnt send the pic but i have not heard from anyone ?
Laura replied: 10 Jul 26 at 09:09
The Sewing Machine pin cushion was removed after its two year period and although it returned in 2022 for a short period it has not been returned again as yet. Projects don’t get taken down after two years anymore and old removed projects are returning slowly but not the sewing machine pin cushion so far.

I definitely need to lengthen the summer blouse, how far up from the bottom of the pattern pieces would you suggest I cut it to add length.
Laura replied: 10 Jul 26 at 09:13
If the pattern hasn’t got lengthening lines marked on it I would just add to the required length of the pattern using a ruler and following the shape of the sides.

I have cancelled my subscription prior to the renewal but I have been charged for a renewal. Please can you send me a refund and cancel my subscription?
Laura replied: 1 Jul 26 at 12:47
It may be best to email the admin team at info@halfyardsewingclub.com in relation to subscriptions as they don’t always look on the forum every day. They will resolve any issues asap if you contact them by email.

Hi my daughter has asked me to fix her dress. It is made of cheesecloth and the material has come away from the seam, almost torn and frayed. The other side of the seam looks quite weak too. What is the best way of fixing this? It’s a long summer dress and the seam goes down the back. Many thanks in advance!
barb replied: 30 Jun 26 at 21:45
The coordinating strip idea is the one for me, or even some wide binding or ribbon type strip. You could add a decorative stitch on the fabric before sewing it on. This will stabilise and cover the fraying seam. Good luck.
