Another Free Pattern!
What Our Customers Are Saying About Dress Shop 6 Our customers are really enjoying Dress Shop 6. Users of DS6 Basic and DS6 Standard are having lots of fun, it seems the more patterns and design options that people have, the more fun they are having. “I finished sewing up the blouse with the cowl neck. All in all, I love this look and am so happy with the Dress Shop fit. I could never wear cowl necklines before because they always came up to high on my neck and sort of felt like a turtleneck. I had no problem with this.” Sandi Campbell, owner of DS6 Pro, Pattern sets 1001-1046, Fashion Designer, Fashion Designer 2, Ultimate Pants, Ultimate Outerwear, Illusions, Hat Shop and Home Dec Sampler.
Use Dress Shop to Make Holiday Gifts! For those people wondering how to use their software to make holiday gifts, we offer some ideas: 1. Hats and purses: For hats, you only need one body measurement for the individual you're sewing for (around the head, and you can have anyone take that measurement on a loved one who lives far away) and for purses you need none. Hat Shop is easy to use to sew for your family, even when family is 1,000 miles away! Make caps, fishing hats, dressy hats, a cute purse for the granddaughter, or an elegant beaded bag for your mom.

Q&A
Q. I have Windows XP with Service Pack
2. When I ask the program to show a video clip I get a message in
the box saying "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has
restricted this file from
showing". How I can set Internet Explorer (or anything else which
needs to be set) to accept my request, without going through several
steps to get there.
A. Go into IE, Tools, internet options and advanced tab. Scroll down to security and tick the "Allow active content to run in files on my computer" Q. My computer went down and I lost all of my measurements. Is there any way to save them other than in the program? A. To protect measurements, keycodes and saved drafted patterns, go into your DressShop folder (My Documents\DressShop), locate your "My" files: MyPatterns (folder); MyDSActivations; MyDSMeasurements and MyDSSettings and copy these files to a floppy disk. If you need to re-enter these into your Dress Shop program, simply 'Paste' them back into your DS folder. |
