I can'afford to buy clothes any longer: how do I start dressmaking for the family* I'm tall and thin: what sort of pattern should f choose* My hems always show: where am I going wrong! Which thread should I use for man-made fabrics? I'm making a velvet skirt and the scams are puckering. How do I alter a pattern to accommodate my generous thighs'
