Ha ha I totally do. Sometimes when I'm on the subway and I see a girl wearing an expensive brand plaid or striped jacket, I always check to see if the pattern matches up! Or if I'm in an expensive department store, sometimes I look at the inside construction. "What they want X dollars for...- Sickofitcindy

Shirin that dress is lovely! Then there's the problem of the double-edged sword. My friend has a fairly well known repro company and just had a fashion show recently. Someone didn't believe that her clothes are made in the USA (which they are) because they're so "cheap". He kept...- Sickofitcindy

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
copying a garment I have copied a halter top before successfully. Your item will be more complicated but it is possible. There are several ways to do it, there's a few books on the subject that I can't access right now. One of the options is to use a pointy tracing wheel and trace the...- Sickofitcindy

Pattern swap starts here!!
Lorena B- Mens patterns Lorena B, I'm pretty sure I have some men's pants patterns. Back in my freewheeling credit card spending days, I bought quite a few lots of patterns on Ebay. Unfortunately I don't really have much use for men's clothes as I'm quite sure I'll never get my sweetie into...- Sickofitcindy

lining fabric I didn't think about the static cling factor. However, I made a dress in cotton and lined with cotton batiste and didn't notice a cling problem at all. Maybe it was so minimal as to be unnoticeable. I'll have to pay closer attention next time.- Sickofitcindy

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Check out Make Workshop in Manhattan and 3rd Ward in Brooklyn. I believe they both offer sewing classes. I think Etsy labs in Brooklyn has times where you can rent a machine. I concur with what others have said, sewing doesn't have to take up a lot of space. Unless you're a fabric/pattern...- Sickofitcindy

I have made this dress. As my measurements are larger than the printed size, it fit me perfectly. I do believe there's more ease then usual maybe because there is no zipper.- Sickofitcindy

Vintage maternity and vintage clothes for kids
Maternity Patterns Vintage Vixie, What size are you? I'm in the process of weeding out the patterns that I don't want and I know I saw at least 5 maternity patterns. I really don't plan on having children so I know they'll be of no use to me. I was going to Ebay them in a large lot at...- Sickofitcindy

Maybe you should try on Etsy. You can go to custom and request someone to make you something with your pattern. I love Lutterloh. I have a couple of those books myself.- Sickofitcindy

Epr, is there a waist band? The other ladies might have better ideas but this is what I would do: 1. take off waistband 2. let out seams (if there's room and depending on fragility of skirt and whether or not there is a color difference between the skirt and the now exposed seams) 3. make...- Sickofitcindy

special needles? Hi Ms. Merl, I have leather needles. Do I need something else? I've used leather needles for making purses but should I be using something else? As you can see, this is my first pair of gloves so I really appreciate any tips.- Sickofitcindy

Thanks for the lining tips ladies. I realized that I bought some flannel backed satin for a winter coat lining awhile ago and I think it'll be perfect. I second Marie Ann's advice regarding the velvet. I had to steam a lot of velvet at my last job and it got out 95% of the wrinkles.- Sickofitcindy
