I’ve just seen your Cascade Cardigan pattern and was wondering if it could be made out of light weight fleece. I intend to get the pattern either way but need the advice before I buy any material. Thanking you in advance for any advice you can give. Ann

Hi Ann, I would not use fleece, you need a fabric that falls and hugs the shoulders so it does not look bulky.

I remember you from the original Craftsy. unfortunately for me the original computer I downloaded your patterns on died just after I downloaded them from there. I am so happy to have the opportunity to do so again on a brand new machine. Thanks so much for being so creative.

Hi CJ, like Craftsy so-sew-easy, also changed hands, I (Mayra Cecilia) have been here since late 2015 when I bought the site and all social media from Deby, let me know if I can assist you on anything.

I purchased the Lily Shift Dress pattern this morning and thought I downloaded the pattern but I am not able to find it. Can you send me the link to the pattern. I cannot wait to make this dress. Thank you.

Sorry, Filippe, I studied fashion design in the USA and that is what is used there, this is why. But, you can purchase a measuring tape with both systems today. Like this one https://amzn.to/34xXXLP

I’m looking for a sewing pattern for a Lawn Ornament Goose. I just bought a goose at a garage sale, She had to be painted and the clothes she had on had to be thrown out. Really bad. She looks great now that she has been painted. She now needs outfits.

I found your video tutorials on how to do a hanging dish towel but I can’t find the pattern. Is it a free pattern or do I have to buy one?

I really like your patterns, however today it has taken me 2 hours just to read the wonky Christmas star mug rug. The web page keeps jumping all over the place and the pop ups are too big, the computer is continually recovering the page. Too much stuff running in the background. Even this comment took 20 minutes.

I found your site a few months back. I thoroughly enjoy it. I do not like sewing for myself because everything I have ever made I threw away. Patterns were not made for my shape. I try and alter them but make a mess of them. But I believe I will try again your outfits are so cute. Thanks for all your hard work and your desire to share it with others.

Hi Deby – I saw something about 30 summer dresses. Can’t find them. Or are they shown in “My Projects”, ? Also, do I sign in somewhere to your site. Can’t find that either? Thanks, again, for your help. Fran.

This site is fabulous! I love to sew and experience a lot of troubles with the commercial patterns fitting properly. You provide great insight on how to fix things. My current project is the long version of simplicity 2219. I love what you did with the back and plan to implement that change. Thank you very much for taking the time to create this site!
