Hi everyone, would any of the canvas fabric in Debbie's shop be suitable for roman blinds? Thanks
Debbie replied: 25 Nov 22 at 17:09

I bought some fabric from debbie shore fabrics and they have sent me a wrong colour how do I get intouch as I sent an email on Monday as soon as it arrived and again on tue to make sure it was correct but no one has been intouch so how can I get help please
Laura replied: 17 Nov 22 at 09:13
They usually answer very quickly. Did you email enquiries@debbieshoresewing.com. There is also a Contact Debbie Shore link on the shop website itself that I have found a very good way to get in touch.

I have completed the BOTM and some of my pieces don?t measure correctly and are smaller than the measurements, what can I do ?
Laura replied: 17 Nov 22 at 08:46
Are they very much smaller than they should be?each set of instruction had an unfinished block size that you can check against. If there is a very small difference you could alter the correct sized blocks seam allowance to work with the ones that are too small?.this will have an effect to make your quilt slightly smaller overall. If your blocks are a lot smaller than they should be have you enough white background fabric to put a border around your blocks to resize them? Debbie shows how to add a border to the blocks on the cushions she made for the mid month project for November.

Hi I just been looking at the instructions for completing the botm quilt. I am wondering about the width of the binding it says Debbie used 5x 1/4 inch strips just wondering if this is a mistake seems a bit narrow x
HYSC replied: 16 Nov 22 at 14:30
Hello - you are right, this was a typo - it's been fixed now, but it was supposed to say 2 1/4" wide strips, not 1/4". Thanks for letting us know! HYSC

Does anyone know when the instructions for finishing the BOTM will be released. I was expecting them today, as Debbie said in one of the 'lives' that they would be available in the middle of November. Thank you in advance.
Laura replied: 15 Nov 22 at 19:59
The instructions are under projects ?first item.

Hi team Debbie I want to buy a good craft stand lamp as the light fitting in my room is oddly placed and wondered if anyone could recommend one please
Laura replied: 15 Nov 22 at 17:54
There are a couple of stand lamps on Hobbycraft with good reviews so might we be worth researching those. I have not used a stand light so not able to recommend on this occasion.

I?m a little confused. I received an email with what is needed to make a Christmas angel for today?s project with Debbie and she made a bag. Does anyone know when the angel will be made? Thank you
Sally replied: 12 Nov 22 at 18:06

To Laura re Tree skirt Hi Laura I had cut it 1? vertically from the top. I then thought after sending original query that I should have cut it horizontally measuring across 1?. Don?t know why it didn?t occur to me in the first place! I am new to sewing. The skirt does look normal as below. I have used fabric glue to stabilise the stitching. Thank you

Laura replied: 9 Nov 22 at 18:55
Oh it looks lovely ?I didn?t realise that the tree skirt was in the Winter Collection book until yesterday and suddenly thought of you when I read the instructions. So glad you have resolved it and thank you for letting me know x

Hi, hope it is OK to ask. I usually only sew for friends and family but in a few weeks I?ve got a stall at a small Christmas Fair. Would appreciate ideas for best sellers. Thanks
Laura replied: 9 Nov 22 at 19:11
I think Debbie?s You Tube ?reading cushion? would be great ?quick to make and a great make for presents. I have made a number of Debbie?s snowmen (Mr and Mrs) and they look great and you can get quite quick at making them if you batch make the bodies and hats. The penguin is good as well ?very similar make to the snowman. If you do a Debbie Shore You Tube Christmas search you will get a number of ideas. I hope the stall goes well.

Has anyone made Rosy the reindeer? From the video it appears to have been cut all in one piece taping all the pieces together and then cut. Is that correct? Thank you
Sally replied: 8 Nov 22 at 21:33
Thank you ladies. I will start over.

I was wondering whether Debbie has ever done a dog jacket ? I am particularly interested in one which fits up the legs, covers the tummy and fastens over the Spine. This wet weather....
Rachel replied: 17 Nov 22 at 23:33
I would love her to do a video of that too. Would like her to make a dog collar as well.

Hello, I would like to make the Child's Messenger Bag but need the measurements. It is the one that you made in Spiderman fabric. I found the video on Facebook. Many thanks and kind regards Jean Goldsmith
Shiralee replied: 8 Nov 22 at 09:56
Morning Jean If you look underneath the name of the video. You will see the word more. Go to that then it expands it to a larger white screen and you will see finished More. Press more again and the sizes are there. It seems to come up different on that video Hope this helps. Shiralee
