Hi, how many meters of fabric do you need for the batwing dress for size 16
barb replied: 18 Feb 25 at 10:52
Materials 80in (203cm) length of 54in (137cm) wide jersey fabric for sizes 16–26 ¼in (5mm) wide elastic: for the length, use your waist measurement minus 3in (7.5cm) or simply wrap the elastic around your waist to see what feels comfortable and add approx.1in (2.5cm) for an overlap

Hi, I have a query regarding the fluted hem skirt. I have noticed on Debbies tutorial that it shows the fluted hem part is cut on the straight grain. However, on the printed pattern and the photo instructions, this shows it should be cut on the bias. Which is correct, does anyone know.

Hi. Thanks for both replies. In the end and with the fabric I have available, I cut the flounce with the grain parallel to the fold line and it’s worked out. I’ve uploaded photo onto the makes if you want to take a look.

Hi Please can I ask how to add a border to an appliquéd quilt . I have wadding underneath and surplus wadding around my top. Do I cut my wadding off to my existing quilt or do I use the wadding when adding my border. I'm quite new to quilting and would welcome any help with my border problem. Thank you in advance. Tina

Hi. I remember seeing a demonstration on how to use the perfect points interfacing. I know how to use it but remember there were tips on how many different materials to use and how to mix with a plain colour. Seem to think six different fabrics were mentioned with the odd plain. However that makes seven. Do you have a link to this demo or have you any advice. Many thanks

Hello everyone. I want to take the plunge and do some dressmaking, and intend to buy an over locker. Can anyone advise how much bigger I need to cut pattern pieces if I am going to overlock all the edges like Debbie did for the fluted hem skirt before sewing it together? I’m confused about the overlocker cutting off the fabric as it sews. Many thanks.
