    Hi Kim,
    Would you consider making a ballerina doll for our quilt store?
    We love your doll patterns and I don't have time to make one. Thanks Terry

    Hi Linda, you must have found an outdated link! You can find the tea cozy pattern in my Etsy shop. Happy Stitching!

    I purchased the premier issue of quick to stitch and it shows an adorable Dresden wall hanging with a bird that it says the tutorial is on your blog. Is it posted and I am looking in the wrong place? Thanks!

    Hi Cole! I do not have a dresden plate tutorial on my blog, but you can find one here that will yield a block the same size as mine: http://www.sewmamasew.com/2010/04/dresden-plate-block-sew-along/

    Happy Stitching!

    I purchased your book "Scrap Happy Sewing" and am trying to make the "Take It Easy Cross-Body Bag". I am on page 97 where there are instructions to make the inside pocket. For the life of me, I cannot figure them out. Is there any errata or can you shed some light on them? The pocket and the bag body are not the same size, but the instructions say to place the pocket onto one of the solid cotton bag bodies, right sides together making sure that the pocket top is level with the top of the body piece - what is done with the bottom fabric that does not line up? I know this is probably a simple thing and I am just not understanding it so any help you can give me would be greatly appreaciated.

      Hi! Thanks so much for asking for clarification on making the pocket. I was referring to making sure that the pocket top and the top of the bag were parallel so the pocket doesn't end up crooked, I didn't mean for you to place them on top of each other, sorry that was confusing! The bottom of the pocket and the bottom of the body piece should be matched up and pinned together. On page 99 under step 4 you can see the pocket in between the lining pieces in the second photo. I hope that helps!! Happy Stitching!

    Retro-mama, I am new to this whole blog thing, so this might be a silly question..... But today I made your little house ornament free pattern. And I would like to post about it and include a picture of it. Is this okay to do? And I do know how to add a link now, so could I link it to you? Anyway... thanks so much, it was fun to make and think your patterns are adorable!

    I have your book and I am making the medium make up pouch. On page 88 #2 I have sewed the darts. Fold the farbic right sides together, matching the cut outs. and triple stitch.....along the short edge, starting from raw edge. I don't understand this part, I cannot see it marked on the pic. Can you help. Thanks Paula

      Hi Paula, thanks for your question! The text is describing how to sew the darts, but if you've already sewn them you're ready for the next step! I would have included lots more photos in the book if we'd had the space :) I've sent an email to you with additional pics of the darts just in case. All the best, Kim
