Awww this was so cute Julie! I like the extra details you added like the curved hem, and I was glad you found a way to incorporate the border checker print in the sleeve. Always fun to follow your sewing process, thanks for bringing us along
I’ve had it for almost 2 years now and I LOVE IT! I do use the embroidery function as well. It can only embroider small or almost medium sized images with the attachments that come with the machine but that’s perfect for my kind of use. It’s a pretty intuitive machine in my opinion.
@@thecuratedcurvy TY for your quick response. My current machine (although not old at all if stripped because of doing a couple heavier projects - not that heavy - imo) Your machine doesn't seem expensive (which is GREAT) so I am wondering if you use that machine when you are sewing thicker materials. Fleece, velvet, corduroy, denim, etc.? I only have small embroidery in mind at this point, but wonder, with being new to it, if it would be too cumbersome or fiddly.
@@Northandsouthsewing you’re welcome! The price was definitely a major part of why I bought it. I use this machine for everything. When I first got it - I also had a singer heavy duty which I thought I would use for thicker fabrics but I eventually donated that one to my little sister and since this is my everything machine. I love to sew with denim and have never had a problem with the thickness of it. She really is a workhouse of a machine, imo. I sew just about all of my clothes and as long as I clean it out about every two months (I do it myself) it runs relatively smoothly.
The time you took to go on the computer I would have recut the sleeves. I do not understand why you all just go by the pattern and do not look at ypur own measurements. Patterns were not made to fit black women, we always have to alter things like, shoulders, waistline, hips, sleeves.
I created the pattern… I took the sleeves from another pattern I created, which was meant to have a more fitted sleeve therefore it wasn’t working with the vision of the pattern that I was attempting to make in that moment…
