I have a pretty good collection of 1930s and would be happy to trade. The fabric I've been searching for is that yellow one with the bunnies in the airplane and parachute.<BR/><BR/>Many thanks.<BR/>Anna<BR/>olivemediagroup@yahoo.comA.L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13494032791442422794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855919.post-49871928306104714562008-04-28T17:50:00.000-08:002008-04-28T17:50:00.000-08:00Great idea!!

You can also buy it in a big roll on the notions wall. Trimming should be very minor if you use a rotary cutter, ruler and mat to cut your fabrics accurately. I had to trim only the tiniest bit because the fabrics would stretch a tiny bit when ironed on. These really are addictive to make. I plan to make several for myself after the party.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971990419165815142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855919.post-89500550982746297132008-04-09T17:54:00.000-08:002008-04-09T17:54:00.000-08:00You are so talented! I love those!! Ok...my ?'s......You are so talented! I love those!! Ok...my ?'s...are there rules on buying fusable web? I've never used it before, but you've inspired me :) If I go into JoAnns and say..'can you show me where the fusible web is please?' will it be a 'here it is' or 'here they are, which one do you need?' (which is when I usually stand there looking like a deer in the headlights cause I didn't know there would be choices -blush-). And am I correct that you cut the fabric just alittle bigger than what you needed...and then trimmed afterwards...somehow not cutting the ribbon (which I'd be sure to do at least once ;) ) Or should I be sure things are lined up that exactly before I start?<BR/><BR/>Wonderful..as always :)<BR/>Laura in VAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855919.post-48966712493990493822008-04-09T13:21:00.000-08:002008-04-09T13:21:00.000-08:00I need some of these!

Seriously, I've been really irritated by my inability to keep various types of hand sewing needles separated and available so I can find them when I need them. <BR/><BR/>I can see a needlebook marathon session to give myself a variety of them (and a few extras for gifts)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the detailed and well illustrated tutorial. You've outdone yourself once again!<BR/><BR/>Sometime you should consider a tutorial on taking such good photos for the tutorial details/steps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
