Do you have any tool that you use all the time? Do you recommend it to everyone unprompted? Is it ridiculously specific to your situation, wants and needs? Let every one know how they can make their sewing better!!...
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?
I want to make my own iron-on labels and patches (small scale, for fun)....
Have you finally done a thing that you have been putting off for long? Figuring the invisible zipper? Putting sleeves on correctly on first try? Conquered a new fiddly fabric? Created the most perfect fit?...
They love it.
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....
Nothing fancy, neither is terribly new or old. Not being able to sew is really holding me back on DIY projects....
Hey, I really would like to try out sewing, but I never did anything like that. How to start?
That's my drawing for a sea-horse soft toy for a -not-so-newborn baby of a friend. I'd love to hear your opinions....
So this is only the second time I've attempted gathering. First time was a total disaster as I pulled too hard and the threads snapped, but this time worked ok. Still, it was very tedious....
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%...
My feet are right at the top of most size ranges, which means I am constantly wearing holes in the toes. I have taken to darning the hole - or often sewing over the thinning patch to reinforce it before a hole wears through....
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....

Just a shot in the dark but I thought it’s worth trying:...
I'm trying to create a bodice block/sloper. I feel bad going through so much calico but I know it will save time and fabric in the long run.
Sloppy edge because I was just in a hurry to get it done, and I also ran out of that color....
The pattern is called Gigi Square by QuiltCakes....
Hey sewers! Anybody got a duck plush pattern that my wife can use to sew a duck for our baby? Thanks!
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.
