I have used PhotoFabric by Blumenthal for several years, in my quilting after trying out several other brands.I would use nothing else... the results with a home HP printer are gratifying.I also appreciate the quick service through Amazon.

Amy Butler Blue Sky Hat Pattern By The Each Review

Amy Butler Blue Sky Hat Pattern By The Each
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First, in order to help out the previous reviewer of this pattern and anyone else who is considering the skull cap pattern for a loved one or friend who has undergone chemotherapy:one has to take into account that this skull cap pattern is designed for persons who still have hair which takes up room inside the skull cap.If you sew this pattern without adjusting (making smaller) to adjust for a chemotherapy patients lack of hair the cap will be too large.Also this skull cap is designed with cotton fabrics which are not as forgiving as knit fabrics (no stretch).If you are an intermediate to experienced seamstress you could easily adjust the cap size as you went along by fitting it to the person while you construct it and, in fact, when I sew any hat in a woven fabric I make fittings a mandatory part of the hat construction process.There are many free alternative patterns for caps in single knit and copious free knitting and crochet patterns (search, for example, for 'cloche', a close fitting cap design from the 1930's) online if you wish to sew generic sized caps for chemotherapy patients remembering *always* that smaller is better.

This pattern is concise, the instructions are wonderful *if you know what you are doing with a sewing machine* and have sewn with commercial patterns at least two or three times previously.If you wish to use Amy Butler patterns to learn to sew I would suggest beginning with her quilts which are fun and easy and a wonderful place to start.If you, as the person reading this, has sewn previously then please know that I have constructed both hats several times for myself and others without difficulty and have absolutely loved the results, as have my friends and customers.The cost of this pattern is completely offset by my ability to create fashion accessories in the colors I wish rather than spending a fortune on hats/caps in retail stores.Also, when this sun hat gets wet I can throw it in the washer/dryer and it comes out new, always a plus. :)

The blades are very sharp but the plastic is so week that it is difficult to cut fabric of substance without a bit of torque.May as well pay the full price and not have to deal with plastic.
