Hello, thank you so much for the helpful information. I wonder if you know where I can buy posters or cards that have different types of sleeves, dresses, jackets, pants, etc? I’m having trouble sorting through all the different style types. And I would like cards or posters for guide and reference.
I have seen this book – Fashionpedia – The Visual Dictionary Of Fashion Design – I guess, it does what you have in mind. Not posters though, it is a book.
What locations do serve?
Thanks,
Jennifer
Hi what other service do you have from the one on your homepage?
Thanks

hi
Hello
Hello. And Bye.
So I am always puzzled when I do a hem sir someone with high heels and a bigger bottom. It seems the pins are higher in the back and lower in the front when I am done. I wonder if I should just make it all one length like it came from Macy’s?!!!
How will I know the answer?
Hi there,
Just wanted to say that I love your content. Keep up the good work.
My friend Jordan from Thailand Nomads recommended your website to me.
Cheers,
Abigail
Thanks. And thanks to your friend too
I love your site!
I am looking for a waterproof cloth that is 8’6″ X 40″ long. Do you have such an request?
First thing…I just stumbled on your site. Wow! There is so much useful information here. Thank you! Looking at the post about making a skirt from a shirt, I either found a mistake, or just some terminology I don’t understand yet. This is the phrase that was confusing to me: “To make the waistband – cut waistband pieces from the hands of the skirt.” Is this what you meant to put: “…cut waistband pieces from the *sleeves* of the *shirt*.” ? That makes sense, but I wasn’t sure.
Hi,
Thanks for all the info that you share! I’m wondering if you can recommend sources to purchase buttons and other notions.
Thank you,
Diane
Thanks Sarina. I found out what a strap seam is from you. You definitely love sewing/fashion-related topics as you’ve put a lot of work into your website. Much appreciated.
Great Website, well done!
Hello,
I need help with a large double metal zipper on a Joseph Ribkoff jacket.
The zipper is splitting after closing. Do you do the repairs if I shipped to you?
Exoense is no problem
Thank you for your consideration

I have been asked to alter a little girls shear lace backed dress. There is a bodice on the front but the back is shear. She asked me to add a bodice on the back. I cut a rectangle to fit just under the arms , it is sleeveless, side seam to side seam and meets at the waist I was just going to hand stitch it down on the waist but it has a built in elastic in the seam allowance for this little girl it will be pulled taught. How do i attach it along the waist. Do i stich it with the machine and pull it to full elastic length ? or should i just tack it down across the waist seam?
First thing: I love your site. It’s really, really useful. You are so generous to share your knowledge.
Now here comes “The Ask”! It was a few months ago, I think, that you offered a suggestion about making cushions so that the entire cushion cover is filled out properly, i.e., the corners as well as the sides. I think it had something to do with tapering the sides. Do you remember this? If yes, would you please refer me to that post.
Thanks in advance.
Deb, in New Brunswick, Canada
Hi Deb,
Thanks
I can give you the post here.. But I do not remember saying to taper 🙂 I know that the cover should be a little smaller than the cushion insert for it to be filled and fluffy.
Can we work together
Thank you so much
Do you sell the screen in type frame or can you recommend someone who does?
Hi can we work together ?
hi,
my name is Mary, i am soo happi to come across this site…thanks in advance.. where are you based? i am in London.
I am trying to make the Hippie pants. The pattern looks to be using 42 x 45” and the leg length should be around 42” or so. I am short and from my waist to ankle is only 37”. Do you have a suggestion on how to shorten it?
Thank you, Jane
Can you send me yours telephone number
Have you seen sewing machines for fur?
I only recently saw one – they sew sideways!
Hi,
I love Sewguide because I love to sew, but I find it hard to get teh pattern right. Could you sell pattern packs maybe, across the internet, so it would be easier to sew your beautiful garments?
Many thanks
It’s very use full details
I tried to shorten my pants to make summer shorts. I found that there was not enough material in the “new turned up hemming fabric” to go completely around the circumference of new shorts length that I needed to hem. I have LARGE thighs and even “venting” the outer edge seam of the new hem site was a challeng. I would appreciate knowing how to overcome this hem problem.
Thanks
Liz.
I don’t have a suggestion at this time, but I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy you. I get some joy every time I see a new post and I try to save the projects I intend to do. Your projects are very fun to watch and approachable. Thank you!
Hi, what are some of the things you should put into consideration when you are working around a flatlock machine and and also a Kansai machine used to stich tracksuits. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
regards
Would love to see some patterns and instuctions offered and things like the phone belt so awesome.
Hello Sarina,
I taught myself how to sew and for years as a young woman, I made my own clothes. It was a neighbour that asked me if I can make her pillow cases, this then gave me the idea I can do this for the public but never tried embroidery.
So I enrol into a class, My tutor name was Sue, the subject was about learning ‘Embroidery ‘ and our tasked was to bring in an object that we really like to the next class. I brought in my peacock feathers from home as I love the colours, they were green, blue and yellow. Plus we were only allowed to use 3 colours, .
The end product was a bomber – style jacket, which was made in a satin fabric, on the front bodice I added 2 flaps, were a stitched leaves on it, on the the back of the of the jacket it has a yoke, which I embroidered by cutting out strips of different fabrics in 3 colours, that I mentioned. Then using different machine embroidery stitches to stitch down each strip until it covered the yoke. The tutor was so impressed with the jacket, she asked if she could put it in the show with the others. Never give up other things you enjoy just prioritise.
Nice to hear about your sewing journey; best wishes
Enjoy your posts & always learn something new! Ty! (Not on social media.). I’ve been reading about toxic fabrics worn next 2 the skin. Is this something u could post about?
Hi
I am a little paranoid about this too and have an article on chemicals in textiles here
I just want to say thank you for sew guide, everytime an email from sewguide arrives in my inbox, I can’t wait to open it to see what there is to sew. I never really knew anything about sewing, but loved the idea to create my own clothes, bags etc. I now have my own sewing machine and save each and every email from you, as I want to make all the things in sew guide. I learned alot from your emails, and wow!! I love them all.
I love to sew but cannot find quality fabrics that I can afford

Hi ,
How do I subscribe/ follow this site ??
Are you on FB ,Instagram ?? As well
Hello Sarina:)
I’ve been trying for ages to find out WHAT this top I have is called and when I came across YOUR site I thought that somebody there would no doubt know what to call it, providing I’m able to describe it good enough! Why I’ve spent sooooooo much time looking for this top is because I’ve JUST started going thru menopause and it’s one of the BEST styles that doesn’t make me feel like I’m going to go into spontaneous combustion! It’s made by a company called “Leanne” which I’ve tried to research with no luck as well.
Discription:
If you were to take an oval piece of fabric and fold it in half and end up with it being 37″wide at the top and in the center a hole measuring 7 1/2″ is cutout for your head to go through. Looking at it laid out the cutout for the neck has a lower front then back oval cut out.
-If your looking at this fabric laid out with your 37″ at the top, then it’s straight down 13″ on both sides, then it has an oval from the bottom of each 13″ sides. If you were to measure from the center top to the bottom oval at the front it would be 22 1/2″ down.
-At the top of that 37″, and measuring approx. 7″ towards the center from both top sides and from there measure down approx. 9″ and angle over to the bottom of the 13″ mark on both sides. Then it’s stitched approx. 8″
-At the bottom of those 13″sides it proceeds to having an oval bottom!
I realize that my description is far from being the best but I sincerely am getting desperate fighting these GOD awful hot flashes so ANY assistance from anybody would be so very very much appreciated. As I’ve mentioned, I’ve had NO luck trying to find any to buy so I’m going to try my best to find some sort of pattern to try my luck at sewing. The one top I have is getting wayyyyyy past it’s expiry date…lol. I’m by no means a whiz when it comes to sewing but IF I have to and it’s certainly looking that way, I shall take apart that one I have and cut out a pattern!
Thanks in advance for ANY assistance that anybody could give me.
Cheers & all the best:)
Maggie
I am sorry, Maggie, I do not get it. Is it a kimono top or a batwing top?

Hi Sarina, I absolutely love your site but I can’t find the link to subscribe to your newsletter. I’ve looked through all the comments below hoping to find it. You said something like it’s above the browser but still I can’t find it. I am a techniphobe so maybe it’s obvious to others lol. Sorry for any inconvenience, Sharon xx
Hi Sharon
Sorry about that; Infact I do not have the form at present as there are some technical problems. I will add your email to my list for newsletter if that is ok.
Do you have an address or website that I can purchase the arm curve pictured in your post on measuring tools and rulers? I’ve been wanting one of these and can’t get the search engines to give a resource. I’m in the US.
on amazon. com you can search for Curvy-French-Curve-Ruler-Dressmaking
Hi there,
You have some interesting written content on your site. Would you like any of it transformed into engaging videos? If so, let me know and I’m sure that we can work out something fair.
It’s no doubt that video rules in this day & age so if you’re not taking full advantage of it you’ll be left in the dust.
Best,
Tom
Do you know of a company that would buy embroidered hats, clothes, mugs etc with unwanted logos ?
I don’t have the time to remove all the stitching.
Hi Sarina
I’ve read your post on 55 most popular Quilt blocks and other posts online about old designs and are wondering about copyright on old designs. Are there copyrights on them or is it the colorcombination or…..
I havent found anything online on it yet and wondered if you could help
With Thanks
Bernd Bachmann
I have never been very good at reading a tape measure of any kind, (other than 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, whole), and I’m not that great at math! Your instructions on how to read a sewing tape were awesome! It totally made everything click in my head! I wish they had taught me this in school when I actually took sewing class, maybe I would have understood the math of it all better. Thank you!
Nice to know that; best wishes
looking for a very good stretch velvet material for pants and top.
