"I have spent months on a family quilt as you go quilt for my mom. I had simple coloring book patterns many years ago as patches for family members. We embroidered these and I had the family members sign on a white sheet of material. These were embroidered too. Lovely momento."

"I am just starting to organize my fabric. Who knew it would be such a big job! I bought comic book boards to wrap my fabric around. I will eventually get another shelving unit or bookcase to store it on. Thanks so much for the wonderful ideas!"

"If that's the way you want to draft your patterns there are several good books and other websites about the subject. But except for the few designs which are only basically made from rectangles such as a gathered skirt, it is not possible to just "give instructions" for drawing the crutch curve on trousers, or a neckline or a sleeve head. I agree that perhaps those curves could be the only bit you need to print off and the length of any straight lines could be shown, but don't forget websites of this sort need to cater for people with less skill and experience than you apparently have. You could always do a print preview and decide which pages you need to print and which you could guesstimate using common sense, such as the leg on a pair of trousers."

Sachiko Aldous As long as I can remember, I have been sewing. I am a self-taught sewer with lots of trial and errors along the way. That actually helped me to develop my own sense of style and to try new things. Besides making clothes and other things, I do lots of clothes repurposing projects.

I started making quilts in my teens and I love everything about it! I design and sell stitchery patterns locally and in my Etsy shop. (I was taking a little break after the third baby, but now she is going to be in school full time I would love to spend more time in designing!)

I am also interested in cooking, thrifting, jewelry making, and interior decorating. You can find my latest projects and much more on my blog: Tea Rose Home.
