Hello! I received an email from Debbie about bags patterns and also a raffle for the machine. When I click to find out more about the draw, I don't see it, just the bag.

Will the bag patterns be removed from the website after the week finishes
Laura replied: 4 May 25 at 09:16
Most of the bag patterns are already on the website but have been refreshed with a new look for bag week 😊. The policy is not to take projects down now so I think they will remain for you to access for as long as we are members. Very spoilt this week with two brand new bags 🤩

Anyone making bags for bag week? Don't forget you can sell your projects so if you're making for charity this is a good time to get sewing!

Yes, the zipped tote looks great and is definitely on my list once I've finished the drawstring trousers. I love zipped bags, they are so practical and quick to secure. I really like that style of zipped closure on the tote.

Any tips for step 5 of the Oilcloth bag, I really, really struggle to get those sharp corners of the bag when sewing the base on. I have edges all over the place and can't seem to get them all together
Janet replied: 4 May 25 at 20:47
Thanks for really helpful answers !I'll try again then I can do it with coton but oilcloth never :)

The link to the 'Oilcloth tote bag' given in the 'Instructions for the recessed zip bag ' goes to a storage bag ?
HYSC replied: 2 May 25 at 08:56
Hi Janet, sorry about this! We've made sure the link is correct now (02/05, 08:57 GMT)! Best wishes, team HYSC x

Hi I've just joined the club and looking at the wide leg trouser pattern there are 36 A4 pages. Any ideas on getting this printed or does my printer have to work overtime! thanks Ann
Ann replied: 29 Apr 25 at 19:46
Thank you .. I'll investigate:)

Hello I'm going to make the wide leg trousers and have a lovely woven viscose linen fabric ready to go. It's 27% Linen, 70% Viscose, 3% Spandex and the supplier says it has a 20% stretch across the width and no stretch across the length. As it is a woven, not a jersey, can I use a regular needle rather than a stretch needle ? And if anyone has experience of using this type of fabric, any tips would be very welcome. I've already figured it frays a lot as I've washed the fabric length! Thank you Jane
Tallulah replied: 2 May 25 at 14:45
Thank you. Yes, I'll definitely be overlocking the edges!

do you know if there is a video on how to use Debbie Shore Perfect Points fabric. I think that she has shown hot to use it but I cannot remember how she did it. Thank you in advance
Sherry replied: 30 Apr 25 at 15:54
Hi Jan, I don't think there is a dedicated video to it, but Debbie did cover it in two of her YouTube / Facebook lives - Wednesday 24/7/24 (approx 30 minutes into the video) Wednesday 28/8/24 (you'll need to forward through the video to find it)
