Advice needed from you lovely people in my phone. I need to make a strap for a syringe driver bag and I will need to join the fabric to make a 55" long strap. Should I use an edge to edge flat seam or join the two pieces on the diagonal? Which do you think will be stronger seam. Thanks, Lynda x
Debbie replied: 19 Nov 21 at 08:59
A diagonal seam is less noticeable than a straight seam and will sit flatter as when folded over the two sides don't sit on top of each other, so that would be my choice!

I would like to make the toy storage box but on a smaller scale and also put dividers in but don't know how to do the dividers. Can anyone help me with this please.

This would be great as I would like to make an open top storage cube with 3 sections for a Christmas present for my daughter. I am going to fill it with re-useable make up remover pads etc which I plan on making too.

Hi everyone. I seem to have accumulated a lot of dressmaking patterns over the past few years (free gift with magazine) Obviously I want to keep some of them, with a view to one day making them, however there are those which I will never use. I don't want to throw them away, so I was wondering if anyone knows of a charity or something who could make use of them. Many thanks and stay safe

I don't know of a charity I'm afraid, would you local charity shop accept them? Or anyone here know of anyone who could use them?

Robyn?s hair - how much wool did you all use for his hair? I think I might have done it too thick, it took forever and I used every scrap of a 50g ball. He looks good though. Now to the fun bit of making his clothes!

Thanks Debbie and Meghan. It does look good even though it took a long time!

I have made Debbies large tie tote bag. It was easy to follow along and came out really lovely but I am thinking I did the measurement wrong way around. Is it 16"wide 14 "long as I did it the other way round and once I realized I just moved the tabs a bit . Debbies looks longer to me could it have been 16"across and 18"long?
BW replied: 15 Nov 21 at 11:47
When measurements are written down its goes with the width first and then the length, or as I like to remember it along the corridor and up the stairs. The bag Debbie made was 14 wide and 16 long.
