Why can I not see the instructions to make the card holder when I have downloaded them and printed them. All I see are the pictures. Apologies if this is a silly question.?

Thank you Debbie, I think it could be I need to down load a more up-to-date Adobe reader. Works fine printing from my phone but not the computer.

Hello!? I have a very basic sewing machine, would like to upgrade to a computerised one and would be grateful for any suggestions.? I don't really want to spend more than ?500 and wondered if the Butterick EB6100 is still worth a look. I have done dressmaking in the past and have started to make more projects for the home. My eyesight is not as good as it one was so I definitely need an automatic needle threader, would like to try free sewing too. Any ideas?? Thank you Fiona?

Thank you very much Elaine, I have been thinking about a Janone so a recommendation about a specific machine is great. Fiona

Do you ever use any waterproofing products on your bags? ?If so are there any you?would you recommend? ?I'd love to prolong the life of the bags I make, and?I've seen lots on the market but there seems to be such a diverse range I'm a bit stumped on what to try. Any advice gratefully received! Zx

A couple of years ago I made a cross-body bag for everyday use from curtain weight fabric. The background colour was beige with sage and soft pink turtles and flowers printed on it - sounds odd I know. Anyway, I knew it would probably attract the dirt and at the same time I had purchased some new trainers. The lady in the shoe shop talked me into buying a waterproofing protector spray for the shoes. On reading the instructions I found I could use it on any fabric. I took the bag outside - have to use the spray in a well ventilated space - sprayed the bag and hey presto - it has dispelled the dirt!

What are the best replacement rotary cutter blades?
Debbie replied: 20 Feb 21 at 18:36
I tend to buy multi packs of non-branded from Amazon, even the best quality can bw ruined when accidentally cutting over the likes of a pin, so this is one instance where I don't mind buying cheap!

Hello Everyone, what kind of waterproof fabric is good for making purse or bag please? Thank you
Eileen replied: 20 Feb 21 at 14:46
I recently tried a new fabric for me. I made my daughter one of Debbie's zipper boxes for storing shampoo and such while traveling. I used PUL - (Polyurethane Laminate). It is lightweight, sews easily, and provides a water-resistant lining. I was really pleased with the result.

Hi I'm having a go at the kimono jacket but I'm a bit confused. ? On the pattern piece for the front do you need to make it slightly curved at the neck edge. ?It doesn't say so in the instructions but I've noticed on Debbie's cut fabric pieces it looks like there's a slight curve on them. ?Thanks. I'm eager to make this up. ?First big project for me to make want it perfect for a birthday gift for my sister that's different from the usual shop bought clothes. ?Thanks Debbie for your lovely designs? ? many thanks? ? michele?
Debbie replied: 20 Feb 21 at 18:38
I didn't curve it, the collar makes it look curved, but feel free to add a curve if you wish!
