Hello, I got a Whatsapp and email telling me that there was a new project and digital newsletter No.6 out on Thursday but it doesn't appear in my members page and I don't want to download large files on my phone. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Julia, it will start at 4pm on the homepage, the timer is counting down to the start. if you can’t see at 4pm, refresh the page making sure you are still logged in (if you’ve been logged on for a while it sometimes logs you out)Hope that helps.

Promo video says there will be a video for the Summer blouse but I can't find it anywhere. It isn't on the project page where they normally are.

My printer dosn't let me print 100%for patterns will I have to buy a new one and which one do you recomend?
Bronzedragonfly replied: 8 Jul 26 at 11:01
I find that when I select the print option on my printer (an old one), there is a dropdown option that says 'more settings'. When I click on that I get the option to say print at 100% or actual size. I very much doubt you need a new printer, despite it's age (unless of course it has broken lol!). Otherwise, you could always print at your local library for a small fee.

Here is another review , this time it is Moomin Embroidery by Jo Lochhead and Heather Plant. My children were never that fond of the Moomin books and when on TV so I am not too aware of the characters but I found Moomin Embroidery by Jo Lochhead and Heather Plant really cute. I love the cover with is cut out to look like an embroidery hoop. It starts with a comprehensive guide to the fabrics and techniques used in the book and then goes on to explain how to transfer the patterns from the book onto your chosen fabric. There is everything from preparing your hoop to finishing off to how to do the stitches, all before the 10 patterns and instructions featured. It even has bonus outlines and an alphabet for you to use. I am not the great at embroidery but can see me using the designs for other things including making cards for the family just by doing outline drawings or even copying them onto fabric and doing free motion embroidery. All in all a really lovely book.

I wanted to ask about the blouse pattern. Can I only print it up to a size 18 on A4 paper?
Laura replied: 24 Jun 26 at 17:16
There is an A4 16-32 size version on the blouse pattern. If you scroll through the options you will see it there.

just downloaded the top pattern released today, my pattern pieces go from a - d but in the instruction they go from a - e (size 16 - 32) it says the correct sizes on it but only 4 pieces across, is everyone else's like that?
Steph replied: 23 Jun 26 at 16:25
I got there in the end, they didn't print out in the order I was expecting, i asked too soon!! Also fooled me as to why there was no 4a, 5a, 6a and 6b but I think I'm sorted now. Thanks everyone for your help xx

Hi everyone, Can someone help with today's new dressmaking pattern please? I'm between sizes 12-14 on the size chart but I'm a D cup. What do I do? I've not made many clothes, so I'm at a loss here.
Sue replied: 22 Jun 26 at 20:26
Thanks for the reply and your help. I'll have a look at the finished garment measurements.

Please will someone help me. The blouse that Debbie had on today. Is there a pattern for it on this sewing club or on her shop site. Thank you
Debbie replied: 21 Jun 26 at 07:26
Hi Lindy Lou, That's not a pattern I'm afraid, it's a blouse I've had for a while, I think it may have been from Next but I really can't remember! Glad you liked it...
