Tuesday Call: [number removed]: Home Dressmaking

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

(medium wave only from 9.20)

Patterns and material are so expensive - is it still cheaper to make than to buy! Flimsy fabrics are fashionable, but how do you line them? How can I put sleeves into an old sleeveless dress? I'm not standard size - can I adapt a pattern to fit me? I want to make a quilted jacket - how do I go about it! I'm still having trouble with man-made fabrics....

Put your questions on home dressmaking to Betty Foster, who runs a Fashion Sewing Centre in Crewe.

In the chair Teresa McGonagle

Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit
Call [number removed] from 8.0 am
