Hobbies & Crafts - July 2007

Does anybody know of any clothing pattern web-sites? I can't seem to find anything really appealing in my local fabric stores, and i'm looking to make some new dresses that don't look like i've raided my Great Aunt Fanny's wardrobe. I've checked out McCalls and dresspatterns.com, but i'm looking for mini-dress patterns

How can I make a small scarf like this one http://www.lulette.com/cupcake.html ?
It's not a granny-knit type of scarf, and I'd like it to have the same texture and even the writting in the scarf.
(I'd love to be able to purchase it, but it's muuuch too expensive, sorry!)

I'm doing a play on HP/Sorcerer's Stone and I've been looking and looking for a long black robe with sleeves for Snape to wear, and I'm really tired of looking. Actually, I don't think they have one on the market today. So, if y'all could help me out, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!:)

I am having a hard time getting it threaded from the top to the needle, and were I put the thread after I put it through the needle. I would like to get a web site that would show me step by step how this is done. I thank you for your help.

anyone else who has gotten one or more of the new Presidential $1 coins, do any of your coins have scratches on them already? I just got mine and they're in the protective case and everything, but they seem to have small scratch marks on the face of the coin already.
Anyone know what might have happened?

I want to make a "simple, but cute" sweater knitted from the top down. Now, I have several book that shows how it done, but I cannot for the love of me come with the correct gauge as requested. I get a gauge of 4 stitches to an inch on size 8 knitting needles. Oh, I tried to use other size to maintain the gauge, but it always comes right back to 4 stitches per inch....LoL I would love to use My Turbo knitting needles that are a size 9. when I use "them" I get the same gauge :0) So I guess 4 stitches per inch is my LUCKY number for this project, I am not able to get it start with correct number of stitches to use for the: Head Opening, Sleeves &Ribbing for the Front, and Back & sleeves. Would some "Expert" knitter be so kind as to give me the correct stitch requirement for such a "simple" little Top Down Knitted sweater?
Thanks in advance for your time in assisting me with this project.

I did extremely well at my first craft fair last week! But there was concern from a family member that the prices for my handmade soap and jewelry are too low. Can anyone offer pricing guidelines? Thanks!
