Hello, I am going to try the July 2022 project (Holdall) can I use a continuous #5 zip (with two pulls) instead of the two x 12" zips and if so would I need to adjust the fitting to maybe sew it in at 3/8"? Thanks in advance!
Laura replied: 6 Jul 22 at 20:54
Debbie used continuous zip and 2 pulls on the Sewing Machine Bag project that she did n here last year so I would think that it would work very well on the holdall. The video and instructions are still on here for the sewing machine bag so might be worth having a look to see how she fitted the zip and then adapt as necessary.

Please help, I know I have seen it somewhere by Debbie but now I can't find it. It is a wall hanging with pockets on a beach scene using appliqu? and free motion embroidery. It may have been in a book, but which one?

Hi, I am going to make this moths project, the holdall. Can I use suede material, and do I need to use a suede needle?

I am doing the BOTM YUM there isn't any colours written for the antlers so I am doing them in 1st metallic same as the pudding as of pic, I hope this is right???
Sherry replied: 21 Jul 22 at 18:06
I've just started this block and have the same question. Like you Sally, I'm assuming 1st metallic although there's no reason we couldn't use another colour as they're not very big so won't use a lot of fabric. It's a shame every month there are inaccuracies or omissions in the patterns which have to be amended. This is the reason I don't start them straight away so have time for everything to be ironed out.

Hello Making the lovely overnight bag but as you are out of stock of the firm fleece what equivalent can I use please. Margaret
Debbie replied: 4 Jul 22 at 10:58
We'll have more stock either tomorrow or Weds, you could use Decovil, or H640 but that would make a softer bag. Foam would work but trim it away from the zip. Hope that helps!

I?m going to try and make the hold all , would decovil light work or would that be too stiff?

Hi, for this months sew, instead of 2 zips can we have 1 long zip instead? If so what length pls? Thanks for your help
Bev replied: 4 Jul 22 at 22:10
Debbie and Barb I am mortified. Once I printed the instructions and template I never even looked for, let alone noticed, the video at the top. The printed instructions were so clear. The video is even better, as always. Thank you so much. I will calm down now .

Hi All Am I right in saying on the Gnome Alone BOTM The body should be 2nd metallic. Not 1st Metallic as stated I have the original BOTM colours which are the same colours as the pictures and the picture shows 2nd Metallic not first. Plus using 1st metallic it will clash with the top of the drunkards path BOTM which would be the same material Shiralee
