Hello folks!...

Hey sewers! Anybody got a duck plush pattern that my wife can use to sew a duck for our baby? Thanks!

Or were you too busy running after children on a sugar rush ?...

I had a master plan of diminishing The Pile^TM^ of things to finish or repair, and it’s going farly well. Some of it was really quick and easy, some of it was surprisingly fun to do, some of it was a bit boring....

My dog chewed her harness. Here’s the mending job. Mended with embroidery floss by hand.

I am currently in a bit of a low sewing mood after finishing “The Pants Journey^tm^”. I still need to take good pictures of it, then I’ll tell you about the adventure that it was....

The grumpy apple core. I think it’s so cute, I love it....

Despite trying different fits and brands of pants, I keep running into the problem of them eventually getting holes in them, typically around the seams of the crotch where of course you least want them. The rest of the pants are generally fine, so it feels like a waste to toss them, but I’m not sure how well one might be able...

So, what new skill have you mastered recently ? What are you proud of ?...

I don’t follow a lot of new pattern releases but maybe some of you do ?...

What terms should I be using when looking for a double-sided bag zipper that opens in the center? I found this on ykk, the zipper with double sliders (head to head), but the search wasn’t only what I was looking for....

I have this nice heavy winter coat that I accidentally tore a small hole in the shell near a chest pocket. It’s a tiny rip, but I don’t want it to get any larger. Any advice for how I should go about repairing it? I want to try a visible mend instead of a simple patch. The tag says the shell is listed as 61% cotton 39%...

I wanted to share this awesome Singer 611g I bought over the weekend. The person I bought it from told me it was her great aunts. It came with everything and more! It’s in fantastic shape and still works great despite possibly not being used since the 80s. I put in some sewing machine oil following the manual (it had the...

I’m a little embarrassed to post this since I’m a beginner, but I’m pretty happy to have finished this table runner. This is my very first attempt at free motion quilting! I’m not very experienced with applique either, but I do like the 3D effect from the dense quilting around the shapes....

I found this vintage printed panel for making a Cinderella doll, and it was so much fun to assemble and embellish. I added lace, ribbons, gemstones, gold thread, silver fabric paint, sequins on the crown, various beads, gold ric-rac around the pillow, and white piping on the cape. The cape is detachable (using small snaps). I...

My mother gave me some skirts she doesn’t wear anymore, and a couple of them are pretty cute. The problem is they are too big for me. So how do I make them not too big?

It’s weird but since quitting Reddit I feel like I lost all the connections in my life. I’m glad to be here with y’all, and I look forward to sharing more! I’ve been in a rut and seeing your beauties has inspired me to dust off the ole sewing machine and finish up my newest kitty’s portrait.

“Our philosophy is that if you can’t open it, you don’t own it. Once you disassemble, repair, and put back together your laptop or iPod, you have a much better understanding of what goes into it. It’s astounding how just 20 minutes of work can make an iPod good as new – but most people have no idea that there are...

I want to make my own iron-on labels and patches (small scale, for fun)....

Hi all,...

cross-posted from: slrpnk.net/post/3317096...

It took me about four month between buying the fabric and completion. I had other things on my list and spent way too long on the design (two months to decide). I wanted a long flowy dress, but this quilting fabric is too stiff for that. So I attempted a tailored, more serious look, balanced by the print. I could have done it a...
