I’ve seen several threads related to sewing (Seeing Machine Collecters, Quilting, specific projects, etc. But there doesn’t seem to be a general sewing thread so I decided to creat one. Share favorite patterns, what you are working on, finished projects, questions or ideas!
I’ve been sewing for about 10 years and dabbled in quilting a bit. I’ve completed several projects from pillow cases to aprons and dresses.
I’ve currently got a few projects lined up. A satin pillow case, a skirt and an apron.
Now that I'm not posting in commercial breaks like last night, I can post properly.
Been sewing for over 10 years, mainly quilts, but I will learn anything that peaks my interest. I do egg aprons, cooking aprons, tote bags, table runners, bowl cozies, baskets, and helpful or decorative type items. I've sewn a few clothing items, but am not good at it.
Several vintage Singers live with me and all sew very well, though the featherweight still needs some work. A treadle though... I'd love to find one someday. Or just the cabinet so I can convert one of my current machines to the cabinet.
My machines range from the 1920's to 2019 for ages and my small/domestics are- Singers, Brothers, Kenmore, and a Pfaff. My semi-industrial straight stitch is a Juki.
My big longarm is a Handi Quilter.
One would never know I got a big fat F for the sewing portion of home ec in middle school, and I was NOT allowed to touch my mother's sewing machine growing up because machines tended to get broken around me. After those experiences I was afraid of sewing for a long time!
Years later the strong desire to make things for my kiddo prompted me to pick up a clearanced shelf model machine for $40. It had problems, but I finally learned to sew on my own. Eventually I taught myself to quilt.
Projects... oy! I get bored easy and usually have mutiple projects going at once.
