Sorry I thought only members could see these messages .Is that not true .Maybe you could work out a way where only members see postings?

Yes, only members can see the replies. But, in my view, email addresses or any personal detail should not be on here at all. Even if only seen by other members.

Hi all, I have a question regarding interfacing please. What type of interfacing should I use to stabilise baby sleepsuits and vests to make a memory bear? I am based in the UK

Thank you so much Laura, apologies for the delay in reply. Of course, now you suggest G700, I have used that before with other projects. I don't know why I didn't think of it myself. I just find all the interfacing options so confusing. Once again, many thanks. Kind regards, Kate

Can someone tell me an easy way to find out to make the bears. I got the answer for clothes but I can’t get page 6 in issue 2. Too complicated for me. Thank you
Laura replied: 28 Feb 26 at 09:54
Once you have read about the bears in the ezine you can press the link at the top of page 7 which takes you to the project page with the free templates and step by step instructions. The project is also available in the project section in the club so as a Member you can easily access them there too. Hope this helps.

The little bag we are making tomorrow is it possible to use a waterproof fabric for the lining and if so what type should I purchase please?
Laura replied: 28 Feb 26 at 10:09
Definitely could have a waterproof lining..you can buy waterproof fabrics some are food safe and others like rip stop are lightweight and economical. If you intend to make a few linings then a shower curtain might be a solution and easy to purchase. Just remember not to iron your lining at any stage in the make as it will melt or harden.

Why is there 2 different measurements on the pro storage container with dividers for main fabric and lining
Laura replied: 28 Feb 26 at 10:14
I think it is because of the seam allowance that is required in the lining to fit the dividers. Step 6 says the lining should be wider so sounds like it is meant to be 😊

I have asked about my payment, to no avail. Members renewing now only pay £50.00 but I paid £60. So I pay an extra £10.00????? Furthermore I cannot download the magazine either. There is no link where there should b e a link. mh
HYSC replied: 26 Feb 26 at 16:55
Hi, sorry to hear you are having problems. If you head to the blog and the magazine here https://www.halfyardsewingclub.com/blog/half-yard-sewing-club-member-magazine-issue-four Look under the cover for the circle with three lines - in there is the download button. Click that and it will download a pdf. It does take a while though so it will probably just happen in the background. It should download to where you norrmally store PDFs. The £50 is an offer for members who want to lock in an extra 365 days for £50. The new renewal fee is £80 so we wanted to offer a special price for members for their loyalty. Please do feel free to lock in an extra year before the 13th as well, as that would take you to membership in 2028. Instructions are in the email we sent and we will be reminding members in the 1st March newsletter!
