Hello, I love this live videos. My question is, how do you enlarge quilt patterns? For instance from a 2 1/2 inch to a five inch finished size. There are a lots of patterns I would like to do but my arthritis says no little blocks. Keep up the good work you all do
How do you sew faux fur on a collar?
I love sewing and I like to get new ideas for projects.
Re: altering pattern to body size and too big question. A simple thing to double check, depending on pattern piece altered…. Be sure that you are dividing the additional width (for example) needed by the number of seams. For example, if I need 4 inches more at the waist, that would be one additional inch at each seam.

Happy to find this
