  Julia asked:

  Hello again, would the linen viscose slub on Debbie’s shop be suitable for the wide legged trousers please?

• 

  Julia asked:

  Not a question just a thought about the lovely wide leg trousers. I have a large stomach/abdomen (working on reducing). Anyway, although I love elasticated waistbands and drawstrings I prefer to put the tie up to the side rather than the front as it is less bulk over the already bulky stomach. As I say , just a thought and I will have a go at making these trousers for the summer. Fabric is on its way! Xxx

  Jill C asked:

  Hi Is there a pattern issue with Maddies spring pj’s? The top comes out at 4 inches wide after sewing the sides together. However, the instructions say gather top front and back to 5 inches. The top only just fits Maddie without the gathers. I cut two tops on the fold. Thank you.

  Thats ok. Most pattern pieces have at least one measurement marked and its always worthwhile checking this with a ruler to see if all is well . Hope it solves the issue

  Thanks Laura, just watched the video on YouTube - I’m a visual person rather than following instructions! Your tips are very useful

  Annabelle asked:

  I am attempting to make a waisted / bum bag. I am struggling to add the fastening and slider to the webbing handle. See attached photos. I have no idea which is the top or bottom. Does anyone know if Debbie has any tutorials on these types of fastenings or of making these types of bags? Help From Mrs Confused.

  Once you have clicked on 'manage my subscription' you just need to scroll down the page a little to get to the heading 'manage subscription' and the cancel button is there.

  Andriana asked:

  Hi everyone! I think this may be the best place to ask. I have a fairly expensive machine Bernette B79 and I want to buy an alternative machine that can go through thick material, light leather/pleather, vinyl, cork and such. I have decided on this as I am terrified that I will break this machine that I dearly love and saved so much for.... Ideally I want a straight stitch, portable, semi industrial machine but damn those are also expensive.... What are your recommendations please? I am mainly interested in bags, backpacks, crafty heavier side fabric but definitely cannot give more than 600 euro and that's a lot already! Thank you so much!!!

  Yes it is a typo on the original instructions and should be 12 1/2” x 4”. Debbie answered a question previously on here to confirm x
