Does anyone know if the zoom dressmaking course on offer is at set times per week or if I can watch it my own time please.
barb replied: 30 Jun 25 at 17:46
Its access to 7 hours of videos See note from the description 'You can rewind and rewatch each video lesson as often as you need, and once you’ve mastered the techniques, you will be able to follow along with me to make as many of the 80 possible dress variations as you desire! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- See also. 'The book is essential reading material for this course – particularly as there are physical patterns in the back of the book that we will be using to create your well-fitting block. If you haven’t already got your copy of the book, you will find a discount voucher offering 50% off your purchase in the Resources section of the online course.'

Just wondered where to find the perks week. Was keen to learn lore on the dressmaking course but can't find any reference to it on the website.

Hi on the calender on 1 bit it says the 8th July will be wrap skirt and on another bit it says shorts. I would love to make shorts and buy fabric but if it's the skirt I will hold off on buying fabric. Does anyone know?
Debbie replied: 6 Jul 25 at 07:58
Hi Lz, it's the skirt I'm afraid, I'm still working on adjusting the trouser pattern into shorts but It's not s simple as I thought! Hopefully the shorts will be ready for August.

I cannot find how to reply to a member's help via the Forum. So just to thank you Laura for your very helpful reply regarding joining pattern pieces. I do appreciate your clarification.

Please forgive this very basic question but could you please clarify how I "join pattern here"with the marking of a line with an arrow each end. Do you match the arrow points with each page still showing arrows or do join on the arrowed line hiding one set of arrows? One way makes the pattern longer, one shorter. I do hope this makes sense. Thankyou for any kind help.

How do i view the lives? have gone to front page but the sheep is all I get, I am a new member and I do have a differant time zone so unable to watch lives, live if that makes sence
barb replied: 29 Jun 25 at 11:02
You can join from the home page only when its live. After they have finished they are loaded under blog but that takes s few days. You can see the past sessions there now. Saturdays should be added in the coming days.

I was watching the live and it stopped? The project wasn't finished? Any idea why?
DEE replied: 30 Jun 25 at 12:07
When will Saturday's live be available on the blog. It's not there yet ?

I have cut out the pattern for the wide trousers, the back is much wider than the front Is this correct?
Jean replied: 3 Jul 25 at 13:55
Yes, Vivien, the back pieces of trousers are generally is wider than the front pieces. It's to give more room to sit down and also we are wider round the back than the front!!

Hi everyone! We hope you are all having a lovely week! We'd like to apologize, and note that we found an error in Block 11 for this year's BOTM quilt (2025). This is the block that will go live on November 1st and we're glad we've spotted this ahead of time. However, this does mean the cutting instructions related to this block in the intro were incorrect. This year's quilt introduction has now been updated, and we recommend downloading or printing the new instructions. We're so sorry for any inconvenience caused, and hopefully you have the time to cut the correctly sized fabric pieces before November. :) Very best wishes, team HYSC x
Andrea replied: 28 Jun 25 at 12:19
So the fabrics listed in the instructions arethey enough to make the quilt? (alteration)
