Wadding however, can be anything you need it to be, from cotton to quilt batting and all sorts of stuff. It depends on the finished project, what you may want to use. I suggest you go to your local fabric store and see if they can help you. Tell them what you want to accomplish and maybe they can come up with some suggestions.JuliaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795348297295716491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-81079806379269460582008-08-15T19:36:00.000-04:002008-08-15T19:36:00.000-04:00I am looking for "waddle" to be used in pursemakin...I am looking for "waddle" to be used in pursemaking. Anyone know what it is? I think it's like stuffing and used to shape the purse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-33455499124307982382008-08-02T13:36:00.000-04:002008-08-02T13:36:00.000-04:00Charlene, I am not sure how old some of my pattern...Charlene, I am not sure how old some of my patterns are. They aren't THAT old - I threw out the ones that don't fit any more from, like, the 70s. But it wouldn't surprise me if you can't find them anywhere. I am sure you can get similar-looking patterns, even in different brands. However! I just bought that Butterick pattern 4741 this year so it can't be that out-of-date. I Googled "Butterick pattern 4741" and the first hit was the jacket at sewing.patternreview.com. Another hit was a vintage pattern, not the jacket. Maybe it is just in Canada? Maybe you have to put the B in front of the number? Anyway, I would ask at the store where you buy your patterns and see what they know.JuliaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795348297295716491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-20148213830834913192008-08-01T11:23:00.000-04:002008-08-01T11:23:00.000-04:00Hello Julia, I can't wait to see the construction ...Hello Julia, I can't wait to see the construction of your top and bottom. I tried to look for the McCall's and Butterick's pattern but couldn't find them, not even in the out-of-print archive.Charlene McGillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519236981590106512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-63199607375248365602008-07-31T12:54:00.000-04:002008-07-31T12:54:00.000-04:00Thanks for agreeing with the wooden buttons idea. ...Thanks for agreeing with the wooden buttons idea. I thought it sounded good when I first thought it up.<BR/><BR/>Hmm Sarah, I was thinking more of the "disaster" about how the skirt rides up too far and then it's all "I see London, I see France". "Knee waddle" - I'll have to digest that one!JuliaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795348297295716491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-72002406761136327482008-07-31T00:55:00.000-04:002008-07-31T00:55:00.000-04:00I like the wood buttons.

I wear just above the knee skirts too :)Chicago Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10824131635259985128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-67998801305326527912008-07-30T21:14:00.000-04:002008-07-30T21:14:00.000-04:00Great idea!
