Fediverse, I'm curious: What is the one/a garment you made yourself and get the most wear out of? #knitting #sewing #crochet #TunisianCrochet @fiberarts@fedigroups.social

The more I wrestle with Nana's sewing machine, the more I marvel at the skill of that generation of women. The machine appears to possess a demonic spirit of its own. My Nana's generation knew how to tame and control that spirit. I have read the manual and I've tested all of the settings on scraps of material yet, when I come to sew something for real, the machine scorns my efforts. It bunches up the material; it creates a huge knot of thread; it teases me with very slow stitching ...... then rushes forward at potentially finger-jabbing pace. I will persevere! #Sewing #VanConversion

Is there, like, a #transgender #sewing / #tailoring / #dressmaking community somewhere online?

After a break over Christmas, that extended until I found a new DVD box set to watch while stitching, I'm back at the cross-stitch. Lots of green... (Btw, I've moved from the 70s into the 80s and am watching Magnum PI) #CrossStitch #sewing

As the most sane person, I've spent months complaining that I don't have enough linen shifts... and then I spent yesterday 6 hours on the floor cutting out and threadmarking wool walking skirt. And now my whole body is sore muscles. #sewing #LaumaŠuj

Have you wondered why I’ve included a hot air balloon in the quilt, that’s full of treasures I’ve saved, over decades & favourite blocks I’ve designed over that time? Well…I explain all that in last week’s video. 😂 This week, I mostly finish it! 👏🪡🧵😍 #quilting #sewing #textileart #embellishing

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Just have to share one little push-back against #entropy ... I recently laundered a beloved old fleece jacket and the zipper-pull mysteriously broke. I was able to "sew" it back on using a series of figure-eight stitches locked in with a few knots. So satisfying! 🙂 #Repair #Sewing

Beadwork is finished! The second image is closer to the true red of the velvet. I did go with the center sunburst, but I tweaked the layout so it felt less crowded, which did the trick. Next on to the pattern drafting! #sewing #BeadWork #embroidery #SineWaveGown

So does anyone here know anything about embroidery machines? As in what to look for, what to avoid, bad brands, etc? #sewing #adviceWanted #embroidery

Scary bit - working out where I can take extra fabric off the skirt. I'm going to put a disclaimer here that I have no idea what I'm doing! I've only ever followed a pattern, never altered anything to

Well, that's the excess fabric cut off. Decided I do need to fiddle with the shoulders. I should at least have enough fabric to widen everything I want to widen. #LongBlackCoat

So after a good night's sleep, where the sensible part of my brain pops out and says "have you thought about. . . ", I've decided I don't have the skills to do what I was planning with the coat. More precisely, I don't have the skills to create an end result that I would see as successful enough to warrant the amount of time, effort, and general brain wrangling required to get there. Effort in =/= good enough end result. So I'm going to buy new fabric to make the outer as well as the lining, and just make a new coat. I'm looking at it as a fast forwarded ship of Theseus/Trigger's broom/the Low King's father's axe (select myth according to taste). I was going to change the lining, I just haven't quite got around to doing that before I'm changing the outer too! #LongBlackCoat #sewing

Scary bit - working out where I can take extra fabric off the skirt. I'm going to put a disclaimer here that I have no idea what I'm doing! I've only ever followed a pattern, never altered anything to fit or drafted a pattern. I'm also not taking the coat completely apart, trying to keep seams intact if I can. I'm hoping to leave the shoulder seams alone - it has one of the bodice seams going through it front and back. Although I'm trying to make more wiggle room across the broad part of my back, the shoulders felt wide enough for me, so I don't want to change where the bodice seam meets the shoulder as I'll have to do the same on the front, which has more complicated shaping. Yes, I realised a long time ago it would be easier to make a new coat using a larger size pattern. #LongBlackCoat #sewing #dressmaking

Started work on updating my long black coat. Here are some pictures of when I first finished making it, back in 2019. It fits me as long as I don't wear anything too bulky, but the fitted princess seams don't allow much wiggle room, and it's too tight across the back when driving. It's also too thin, so despite the style isn't suitable for winter weather. So, new lining, take out some of the width in the skirt panels to gain fabric to increase some of the bodice seams, and a seam on the sleeves. Reposition pockets (they could do with being one seam further to the back), and put in bigger pocket bags. New buttons, and maybe a faux belt on the back to add interest. Pondering adding some embroidery too. Made a list of what needs doing - I'm basically taking most of it apart just so I can put it back together again! #sewing #dressmaking #LongBlackCoat
