Can Debbie suggest what pattern to use for sewing bags for syringe drivers. Some hospitals are appealing for them and I thought it would be nice to make well made ones to cheer up the patients. There are some patterns out there but Debbie?s patterns are so professional, it would be nice if I could use them.

Laura thank you so much for that. I now know what pattern to use and I will adjust the sizing accordingly.

I made Cookie for my new great grandson who is due in early Feb. He?s under wraps to keep him white. I did a sewn nose. Did anyone else have a problem with the nose?

What does WW mean in the block instructions for the new quilt please?
Laura replied: 6 Jan 23 at 13:51
The WW ..White on White is the code that Debbie is using for the colour coding of the white in the quilt kit that is available from her site. If you are using your own colour choices for the quilt you will need to code your colours as per the Introduction to the quilt and colours that was made available under the projects heading on here in December 2022.

I'm planning to make the Wonky Street Draught Excluder but I'm wondering roughly what size the houses would be based on the design that Debbie has made?
Marg replied: 2 Jan 23 at 20:22

When free motioning on a quilt how high above the material should the foot sit?
Blodwen replied: 3 Jan 23 at 09:15
Thanks again Barb, I found the video and it was very useful. I am finding it hard to do but I expect I need to practice a lot. ????

To those of you that have the sew maddie book. How big are the templates are they bigger than a4 for each template? I know more than one is on a sheet. Do I need tracing paper bigger than a4?

Here?s my polar bear. I?ve named him PomPom as my mum knitted the scarf with Pom poms on. A gift for our new great Neice. I think my next one will be better!
Rachel replied: 4 Jan 23 at 16:15
So sweet and I am sure it will be well loved.

Hello everyone. Can anyone suggest the best fleece for the polar bear. I?ve made him from wine fleece in my ?fabric collection? and he looks good but it made an awful mess of my sewing room! ????
Laura replied: 2 Jan 23 at 10:00
Did you use cuddle fleece for your first polar bear that does make a real mess until it is sewn or hemmed. A Polar or Antipil fleece is easier to cut and sew.

Hi, a question about the size of the original Maddie and Maddie from the Sew Maddie book, which I was lucky enough to receive just before Christmas. Yesterday I made the romper from the book for my Maddie and it turned out far to big and I had to resize When I measured my Maddie (which I should have done first) she was 23? tall not 26? as described in the book. Maybe my printer was at fault. Maureen
Moz replied: 4 Jan 23 at 21:09
Thank you. I must have done something wrong when printing out the pattern - I didn?t check the size. Never mind it?s an incentive to make the new Maddie?s asap not just her clothes. I?ve spent a happy afternoon copying and cutting out all the patterns from tge templates and putting them into individual envelopes. Ready to go, just need to get some fabric for the body!
