Our goal is to inspire, stimulate curiosity and (hopefully) bring about an appreciation of creating something new with your clothes by: reworking, fixing or developing slow-fashion of your own.
In order to shift the unsustainable fast-fashion 'stuck' mind-set, this channel is dedicated to having a positive impact by providing accessible hands-on knowledge to understand the process of fashion.
Love this!!! My thought/idea: attach foldout legs to the table top you made. Basically a card table but sturdier. But I am also married to a carpenter. So I recognize that advantage. I will be having him make me this now😂
trying to make a corset, but the cracking of the washer catches on the ribbon used for lacing, is there a way to put grommets in without the washer becoming a ribbon-shredding menace?
Some useful info in there thanks! However wonder if you could help, I'm sewing velcro onto a door netting, and it's sometimes pulling 3 threads up from the bobbin and knotting, I have moved my needle over to the right and tightened the stiches a little and it seams better, but every 12 inches or so its still pulling the 3 threads up snapping but retreading itself so I can carry on?
Even tho my sewing machine looks intimidating I just came to point there is no point having it sitting just there I'm goin to get to it and master it. Thanks very informative video love it.
Omg, I'm trying to punch eyelets into my hats for a shoelace and a tension thingy so my hat won't blow off and I'm used to grommets, so I kept trying to mash 2 eyelets together! 😂 Thanks to you, I'll do it RIGHT next time! ❤ Just subscribed! Ty! Brenda in Az 🌵
Beginner saying thanks for two massive tips… printed stripes aren’t always straight… and matching the seam lines instead of the cut lines! You have saved me 2 more boxes on Kleenex. Xx 🌷❤️
I'm trying to stop being scared of zippers. I've tried 3 test ones in the past few days with not a lot of success. When Im'm done stitching in both sides, the zipper becomes really stuck and has a hard time being zipped up. I'm using an invisible zipper foot. With the 3rd one I just did, I tried zipping it after ONLY sewing it in on the left side of the opening. Totally smooth! So that seam went well. But then when I went and sewed the right side, it once again has a hard time zipping closed. It also feels like, when I go to stitch the right side, the zipper teeth don't want to go as smoothly through the zipper foot's channel. It feels like they want to curl up even though the left side didn't? Do you have any tips? Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
I would have bought you a coffee if you had provided links to all items in video. The coffee would have been well worth the time I now have to take to source the items myself.
I really enjoyed this video. The one thing I'd suggest is making necessary adjustments to the paper pattern prior to cutting. I will also make a "dummy" garment of calico or old fabric to check the fit first. It only took me 45 years to learn that. Happy sewing everyone!
Will you explain the direction the thread should come off the spool and the bobbin? Back or front of the spool? Right or left of the bobbin? I’m sure it matters but the visual guides on my Brother machine are difficult to read…
I used to see my mother do this when i was a girl, now 65, and couldn’t remember how to make that loop! Thank you so much for this clear instruction, now to removing all the metal eyes…
Thank You! That was exactly the problem! I don't know how it got misthreaded but I have rethreaded the Bobbin a dozen times thinking that was the problem. You nailed it!
