Other than that, I can’t think of any others that are still around…

What designer are you looking for? I do some canvaswork myself and the two designers who do ‘quilt-type’ designs are Laura Perin and Debbie Draper. (You can find a lot of their designs and supplies on the Nordic Needle site as well.

Hope this helps!

How to adjust a non-stretch pattern for stretchy fabric?

I would like to sew myself a bikini top. I have great instructions on how to make a bra pattern that works and is possible to adjust to just about any type of bra.

But the fabric I have stretches about 50% to any direction. Would it make sense to decrease all measurements by 1/3? (not exactly, I need to find out how much the fabric is stretched when pulling both ways) Or should I only do so horizontally? This messes up the geometry and makes the further instructions useless. I get to such measurments that I could as well just sew the fabric flat to the wire, which won’t obviously work.

So, should I decrease everything in the cup and make it stretch on the underwire, or rather try to figure out a way how to do so only horizontally? The fabric is very easy to stretch until it reaches it’s limit.
I probably have a bit confused terminology. Every two piece swimsuit is called a “bikini” over here. I need a bra-like construction because I’m quite large in the top part.

No. Either buy a new pattern or new fabric. It might look good when done, but will look terrible after being stretched

I have a 6 year old who is now loving Barbie and her clothes. I ran into the same problem that you did. Barbie clothes are expensive. I took a couple of the Barbie outfits that she has and picked a fabric (anything will work, old clothes that don’t fit, sample fabrics, etc) and cut the pattern out of the Barbie clothes leaving a little extra room for sewing. It will save you lots of money and you get better control of style of outfits.

For a quilt (or table runner, etc.), fabric choice is the most important thing. You could turn just about any block into an Easter quilt simply by using pastel fabrics, or novelty fabrics with rabbits or eggs on them. Try a table runner made from three or four basket blocks – all the same, or different baskets. Browse though the blocks at Quilter’s Cache – there are over a thousand free block patterns, with great instructions and illustrations. You could also look for blocks with lilies or paper pieced bunnies and eggs. Eggs would look nice in a pastel batik fabric – like they’d been dyed.
