NEWSLETTER October 2003: As a customer or subscriber of ours, we want to remind you of the monthly special offers that are only for you! As you scroll on down to the bottom of the newsletter you'll see a variety of specials that are available to you. This month's specials are specifically for the treadle sewing machine owners and those who sew and/or have plus size children. Since the last newsletter went out, our new website for over- weight children - http://PlusSizeChildren.com has been completed and is now online. The response to the classes and books available through this site has been tremendous! Although recent statistics have indicated that nearly nine million American children are categorized as "overweight", buying or making clothes for the plus size child can be very stressful and difficult as there is literally NO standard size that fits properly. http://PlusSizeChildren.com has two options for people with plus size children. First, we give you the opportunity to make patterns according to the child's own personal measurements, thereby guaranteeing a perfect fit, so that you can make any of the "trendy" designs that appear to be available only in the "average" size patterns and clothing. The second option is to use the patterns you already have, and participate in the "Altering Store Bought Patterns for the Plus Size Boys and Girls" class. Instead of "guessing" what to do in order to make the pattern fit, follow along the step by step instructions and diagrams and make changes to the areas that are needed. +++ With the fall and winter season upon us, and children growing so fast, I'd recommend the "camisole" class. The very easy to make camisole can be a life saver and add new life to the blouses and shirts the girls have outgrown. Make the camisoles in a variety of colors so the girls can wear them under the shirts. Even better, make the camisole reversable with a different color on the fronts and backs (you'll have 4 completely different looks with one camisole - and only the front is being seen under the shirt!). After going through the camisole class, you will want to visit http://FaysFabrics.com/Kits.htm to see how the reversable "4-way" camisole looks and pick from several kits Fay has available, ready for you to purchase and sew immediately. +++ Plus size girls seem to "mature" much earlier than their "smaller" peers and sometimes there are no bras available for the younger girls. We recommend the "Sport Bra" class on this site http://PlusSizeChildren.com/sportsBra.htm. You can use your daughter's own measurements and make a perfect fitting bra that will give the support and comfort that she deserves. +++ From panties to bras, slacks, blouses and jackets this site has classes for all sizes of plus size girls, as well as a class for plus size boys, which covers small boys through pre- teen years. We're very excited about being able to provide a means for the plus size girls and boys to finally get clothing to fit perfectly, as well as to allow them the opportunity to be able to wear the "trendy" current fashions that in many cases aren't available in the plus size patterns and clothing. We all have friends, relatives and co-workers that are among those who have plus size children, so we'd like to recommend that you do them a favor and forward this newsletter and the informtion about http://PlusSizeChildren.com to them. =============================================================== +++ This Month's Sponsors +++ http://PatternsThatFitYou.com - This site has a wide variety of sewing, craft and pattern making classes, as well as a number of FREE classes. The advantage of online classes is that you can take the classes at your own place and at your convenience. Whether you are tall, short, heavy or thin, the classes provided will help you to say "finally it fits"! http://AlterationBiz.com - Those with a sewing machine and sewing skills have a perfect opportunity to make extra part time or full time money with almost no startup expenses. This manual tells you how to get started, how to charge, how to get FREE advertising; tells you all you need to know about doing alterations as a home business! http://FaysFabrics.com - Fay's Fabrics carries all the lace, spandex, tricot and trims you'd need for the panties, camisole, sports bra and all other lingerie items you'd like to make. Her prices are better than you'll find anywhere else. ================================================================ Sarah Doyle is the author of "Sarah's Key to Pattern Drafting" and twenty five other sewing, alteration, craft and business books.
