My mom just mailed me the quilt that I started when I was 8 or so. A lot of it has been poorly handsewn so I guess I'll have to go over that with the machine. It also would be nice if it was a bit bigger, so I might see if I can add a border to that. And then I need to learn how to actually put together a quilt! It'd be nice if this actually got finished.

Hello sewing thread. My boyfriend has a quilt that is quite sentimental to him. It's unfortunately falling apart, mostly on the non-quilt side. I think getting it in better condition would be a nice Christmas present for him. I am a pretty beginner sewer, but I have a nice machine (Brother CS6000i) I can use. I've never quilted before. Is this something I could probably fix on my own over the next month, or should I find a professional? It looks like the entire back needs to be replaced. e: it's about 5'x5'.

The threading on my purse strap broke. Is this something I can fix myself (do I need special thread?) or should I have it fixed?

Reformed Tomboy posted:You can easily fix it yourself if you have a good strong needle and thick thread (or thin string). Depending on how many layers you need to go through, you may want to use a proper leather needle and/or pliers (to pull/push the needle). This is assuming it's real leather. If it's fake, it shouldn't be that tough to get the needle through. Well, the holes are already there, so piercing the leather isn't an issue. I'll see if I can find some waxed thread, then!

Does anyone have any preferred sites/blogs/guides for tailoring off-the-rack clothes? I'm not a total novice, but the clearer the better.
