I'm surprised this thread made it to two pages with no one having answers to your specific questions. is sewing that dead of a hobby?
600? For curtains? O.o clearly I have never had to deal with curtains. That sounds insane! Thanks for the additional info Dorrie. A couple answers did get given but you just hit each one on the head maybe I will be lucky and my brother in law will come through for me with one of his moms old sewing machines.
Oooh Bag that is pretty neat though! What is the shiny material stuff you used? I made some Santa hats for my ponies, but that's all I've done so far. >w<
That's the right book ! I'm glad you'll be able to get it inexpensively - I think you'll find it a great resource. (I love me some Hastings !)If that's flannel, it's a challenge. I made some simple pajama bottoms for Elphie (Tonner Wicked Witch) and I had to wrestle with fraying, and it will stretch as you sew, too. Hardly ever sew with flannel anymore, which isa shame, it's so cuddly. When I sew flannel, I have to use a stabilizer and Fray-Check, which you may not want to bug with yet. And Ihave to think carefully about how to describe using stabilizer or interfacing. Heck, half the time, especially with dollclothes, I use old dryer softener sheets to stabilize the fabric. Let me figure out how to describe using the stuff. Any way you can sew up the side seams and use either elastic or a drawstring closure ?

I Bag: It sounds really neat, but how in the world did you sew with it? Sounds deadly.
