These projects can also teach you the basics of sewing that is pattern making and taking measurements. These will train you on sewing and other basics. This will be your starting point in learning how to sew and succeeding in this business.Jade@How to Sew a Dresshttp://www.how-to-sew-a-dress.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31494373.post-58635807229051384802011-07-04T19:06:30.012+01:002011-07-04T19:06:30.012+01:00Its so good to hear from you Donna.

The sad...Hello Jenny, thanks for leaving a comment. The sad thing is that I had used a nylon zip. Yes, not perfect for trousers, but they are usually perfectly adequate. I just could not get the metal slider to return to the zipper teeth. Had this been a metal zip there would have been no problem, just as you describe. I have, as I mentioned to Picnicfan, rebuilt the trousers now and they are just needing a few things doing before I can wear them. <br />Yes, I was intrigued by the cutting off of the zipper stops. So I did it, just to see what the instructions could teach me. I won't be repeating the exercise.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09899092307625094978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31494373.post-67201489988008426462011-06-26T10:37:18.221+01:002011-06-26T10:37:18.221+01:00Thanks so much Picnicfan.

As for the trousers, you may be relieved to hear that I have now rebuilt them and just have the waistband to finish off and athen the hems. Yes, they do fit this time.<br />What a muddle to get into.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09899092307625094978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31494373.post-88306776530376059802011-06-26T06:58:18.945+01:002011-06-26T06:58:18.945+01:00Mandy, Just create a new stop for the zipper.

Sometimes I worry about instructions. I have made plenty of fly fronts on pants without ever removing a zipper stop.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15313502220068651587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31494373.post-23978229346022094952011-06-26T06:42:54.518+01:002011-06-26T06:42:54.518+01:00I like your blouses very much and I'm particul...I like your blouses very much and I'm particularly fond of the blue one.
