Earlier this year I made a cosmetic bag with a letterbox zip on the front. I am sure it was a video tutorial by Debbie, but having searched YouTube and half yard club I am unable to find it again. Can anyone help please?

Hi Im new to quilting. I have pieced together a jelly roll so now have the fabric ready for quilting. I’m unsure that free motion embroidery is the the way to go as I like the strip look and the softness. Could I just ‘stitch in a ditch’ it ? Is that enough to hold it all in place?

Thank you Mel and Brenda. I’ll go for it x

Laura replied: 15 May 25 at 18:12
Have you enough seam allowance to add a finished 3” border of a similar fabric to the panel before you start smocking ?

Hello, where can I find the pattern for the Birthday Bear ?
Laura replied: 15 May 25 at 18:07
The initial project for birthday bear with the templates etc. was taken down a while ago after 2 returns …no doubt he will be back again now that all projects are slowly returning 😊

Hi, just wondering if there is still an instruction tutorial for the male and child beanie pattern. I have the patterns but just wanted a reminder of how to put it together. Thanks

I need ideas! A friend and I are throwing a summer party and we're having a quiz where the winner gets a prize. I'll be making one of the prizes. The competitors will be both men and women age 50+. What can I make that anyone of these lovely people would appreciate? I'd like to do something that's not too basic but a little bit special but that doesn't require a ton of purchases in materials. I've plenty of fabric, wadding/batting and some interfacing.

A bottle bag is a good idea! Thanks!

Hi how do you watch the videos please
Laura replied: 10 May 25 at 14:06
You need to be signed in to the website to see the videos on Half Yard Sewing Club. The videos are on main projects and are usually under the project heading. If the project that you are thinking of making has a video just push the forward arrow on the screen to play ..you can stop,rewind and fast forward using the arrows on the screen. Hope this helps.

Morning! Just wondered if there are any new sewing techniques you'd like to see in the club?

Machine quilting effectively without free motion. Machine sewing applique in detail, mine isn't consistent. Invisible zips as well, in fact any zip! Thank you.
