  Lynda asked:

  I have just printed out A4 pdf for the fluted hem skirt. I seem to be missing a page. Can anyone tell me how many pattern pieces are there for the front ruffle. I have been having printer problems so it could be my fault that a page is missing on the template print out. Thanks

  Sue asked:

  Hope someone will be able to help. I have taken up sewing after 20 years. I bought a adjustable dressmakers dummy from Amazon in size 10-16. I am a 12-14. I dialed it to the maximum and it is too small. The bust was okay but waist and hips are too small. Any ideas would be appreciated please. Thank you in advance xx

  Laura replied: 15 Mar 25 at 09:19

  Just a thought and I am sure you have but have you pulled out all the connectors around the body at the back and to the sides. Hard to know without seeing the dummy but thought it worth mentioning it in case 😊

  Thanks Laura: yes I did use the interfacing I doubled it and also put pipe cleaners in. I think I will put a couple of stitches at the bottom of the ears to hold them up. They are cute. I’ve got 4 made. Thank you for the advice.

  Lorraine asked:

  Can you tell me the best type of fabric to use to make Debbie's Easter dress please.

  LucyJ replied: 24 Mar 25 at 11:11

  Hi Lorraine, any lightweight wovens would work for this dress - the original project was made with dressmaking cotton.

  Lesley asked:

  Hi Everyone, I am hoping to make the Easter Bunny for my Granddaughter. Would the toy stuffing on Debbie Shore Sewing 450g be enough to stuff the bunny. Or do I need to buy 2 bags of toy stuffing. Thank you

  To be honest, I used a the polyester stuffing from an old unused pillow that I had. More than enough for bunny.

  Afternoon members! What's your all-time favourite make on the Half Yard Sewing Club? Drop it in the comments 👇✨

  Kim replied: 12 Mar 25 at 10:19

  Hello Lucy. Of the HYSC projects I have made so far, I think my favourite is the Sewing Room Accessories Storage Folder. It is really useful and is in use almost every day. I enjoyed making it too.

  Clara asked:

  Help! I am trying to make the fluted hem skirt and have got to the front waistband. So I have cut one strip on the fold (size 18) as per pattern but in video Debbie sews two pieces together for the “front “ waist band.?

  DEE replied: 17 Mar 25 at 06:13

  Cut 2 on the fold, I used a lightweight interfacing on both to give it more stability.

  Leanna asked:

  Can I use fabric instead of fleece for the Bunny?

  Laura replied: 11 Mar 25 at 13:51

  I don’t see why not but it will not be so easy to sew as sewing fleece is quite forgiving and stitches get lost in the pile.

  1bag of toy stuffing is fine. I used h640 for the ears. They flop about on movement but stand up well when positioned. If you see what I mean.
