I bought wayyy too much fabric to make pads so I was thinking of making extras to give away to the less fortunate. However after my eighth one the sewing machine started going wierd. I was using the zig zag stitch thing, hoping to make them more durable, however the stiches started going wierd and the back strings ( from the bobbins) were showing up at the front. The string also started to ...
... I wanted to do, and then a) not do it b) have moments when I get bored and run out of things to do. Oh the excuses I make for myself... 1) Learn how to do shirring. 2) Buy zips/charms/sewing supplies to fuel my great desire to make things:) 3) Finish making my striped jsk, and then start on the grey one. 4) Make another bag 5) There is still the light blue thick cotton I bought for a jsk/skirt? ...
... new to this community lurking wise, first time posting. I was wondering what kind of thread you use and where do you get it. I live in country that is practicallyilliterate when it comes to true sewing notions, especially threads. There's mostly cheap polyester crap, a fewheavy duty cottons (in, like, a five color range, cause they're only used for jeans) and two stores (yep, in the whole ...
.... YAY! So what are my sewing plans for this weekend? First up ... also working on my own personal sewingbible! I decided I wanted to keep track of all my sewing projects and future projects and so on, since my sewing area in a major clusterfuck right now...the reason for my earlier post. Sewing / Pattern / Project Question I'm also... know when it comes to sewing like terms, and intructions and so...
... figuring it out. I certainly would not have figured it out without Duncan's and Birch's help. Thanks Birch, I went back and tried the bobbins from my singer and they worked. Now, I need to figure out how to clean it and how to tell ahead of time which stitch will be up. There is this lovely knob, but I can't find the guide to line up the stitch Icon. Soon to be a two sewing machinefamily.
My current take-alongsewing project: That's 7_1, 7_3, 7_7 and 7_2 from the Rolfsen KnotTable . What I eventually do with it depends on how far my patience extends.
...pulled out a simple circle skirt pattern from my personal sewingbible and went to work making a whole new top... all by hand (before I went and purchased a sewing machine) that I was going to finish it by hand...too short. SO I ended up digging through my sewing draws and luckily found more fur that was long ...moment! But now it's Monday, soooo no more sewing for me till next weekend! *pouts* Now it...
... copy. The flawedmaster should be released next week, hopefully early next week. I am trying not to climb walls. Fortunately, I am having dinner with my dearest wolfraven80 , and this weekend I shall be sewinga few sets of robes to take my mind off the delay. These will be robes of the non-trailing kind, to be worn over cassocks. I shall use polar (very warm), wool (warm and ...
... not really as wide as the pattern. In both cases I was able to use the arm cuffs or waist band for the ankles, eliminating the need for hemming. I also used the serger to do all of the sewingexcept for making the elastic casing at the waist. The whole project was pretty quick n' easy: about 45 minutes total, perhaps. And two pairs of pants for a dollar (not counting a little elastic and thread) ...
...a done deal. Sorry, no hints. Alright, one hint: I'm looking at videogame characters this time. I bought a sewingmachinea few weeks ago, poured over the manual and practiced a bit with the generous amount of unused fleece .... If I could use it with the final costume, gravy. If not, I'd at least get valuable sewing XP out of it. I made it in the pattern's Large size because A.) I wanted it to be ...
