Pet bed issue. The sides of the bed are smaller than the patterned piece. Is this how it's supposed to be or should I trim down the patterned piece? The denim sides are 45 cm long which is the size of my pillow. The center piece is 47x47 cm.

I am making a pair of bedroom curtains from a quilt cover, as they don?t have matching curtains in the bedding range. Obviously, by doing this, I don?t have a selvedge on the fabric and my biggest challenge is cutting the fabric so that it is oblong. I have a hard floor to cut out on, which is large enough, but what technique would you use to make sure that my fabric is cut square and even please and that both curtains come out exactly the same size.
Debbie replied: 20 Aug 21 at 06:18
Do you have floorboards or tiles that are square that you could use as a guide?

Hello, can I use the very thin fusible batting on the bag Miss Debbie made this morning with the gold pearl handle and this afternoon with the straps? Other wise I only have a thin pellon that is used to face tops and dresses. Thank you.
Debbie replied: 18 Aug 21 at 11:58
That will be fine, you could always use a couple of layers if you want it a bit thicker...

Hi all When putting a zip in an infants waist type gathered dress where the lined bodice is achieved by pulling through the shoulders is it possible to put in an invisible zip and if so at what stage would it be inserted, is it inserted over the lining. Sorry if I'm making hard work of this. Thank you for any help. x
Debbie replied: 18 Aug 21 at 12:03
Is this explained in the pattern? Difficul;t to answer withour seeing it, but the zip shouold go in between the outer and lining fabrics, may ne easier to fit to the outer fabric then hand sew it to the lining...

Hi all. I'm moving house very soon and I will be lucky enough to have a sewing room. I currently don't have a sewing table and wonder what type/size/height of table I should buy. I also need a task light of some sort I think. Recommendations would be welcomed from your please. Thank you
Debbie replied: 18 Aug 21 at 12:02
I just sit at a dining table, but on an adjustable stool, sit so that your elbows are at right angles to your machine. I also use a daylight light from Native lighting, hope that helps!

Having trouble with the pet bed. First of all, is there a bottom other than the actual cushion with the zip? Second, I can't wrap my head around the measurements. I'm using a 45 cm inner pillow. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi could anyone help please. I was going to make the Debbie shore relaxation set as a Christmas gift for my sister but it has gone from here now. I thought I might be able to find on the HYSC Facebook page but I can only find the introduction video and not how to make. Is it in one of the books I could buy please or have I missed my chance? Thank you
