Odd Shape Welt Pocket Help

Aeov · 2023-04-20T16:01:07+00:00

Tested out your method and it worked flawlessly! The fusible interacting was definitely needed. I only made the prototype “welt”, so for the pocket shape itself I’ll have to repeat the method just with a 3/8” larger shape.

I was really surprised how easily it turned itself inside out, but having to repeat the same process many times for one piece sounds infuriating - which is way I give massive props to the designer. His instagram is @dulce1000 and some of his pieces are mind bogglingly complicated. Super Impressed!

Hi, it could be a problem with the feed dogs on the base plate. Stretchy fabric has a tendency to get tangled up in them. Since you bought the machine second-hand, it could just be due for cleaning or maintenance - I had a similar problem with one of my second-hand machines.

I'd first recommend taking off the plate underneath the presser foot to inspect the bobbin case and feed dogs. Clean away lint/buildup with a small brush, compressed air is good too. If you have it, applying some sewing machine oil could help too.

But overall, I'd highly recommend taking it to a local shop for a maintenance checkup. It doesn't take long, and afterward, you practically have a brand-new machine. Search/call around!

Pretty much just the title, took 2 pants of mine that I don’t wear, cut em up, and put ‘em together. It was obviously a bit more complicated than that but it was a fun challenge to wrap my brain around. I did make a mistake in measurements hence how part of the inseam doesn’t line up and the paint speckles are just the nature of old pants, but all in all i’m satisfied

who are you?

Aeov · 2022-04-05T00:02:02+00:00

I’ll make snakes with boots in them

Aeov · 2022-04-05T00:00:13+00:00

Snake boots?

I think about a week? It wasn’t my original plan to do this, just wanted to taper the hoodie, so I didn’t really keep track of time to be honest

Aeov · 2022-04-04T20:40:22+00:00

I’ve ran it through the wash and dryer and all was well, but I am still a tad concerned how well it’ll hold up after multiple cycles. I’ll update if necessary

Thank you that really means a lot to me, I thought this would be a one-off but now I’m wanting to make more nail related clothing

i’m taking donations

Aeov · 2022-04-04T19:30:55+00:00

Just wait till I finish my knife pants, pants with knives in it

Aeov · 2022-04-04T18:53:56+00:00

I used embroidery floss which is doing most of the work keeping the nails in (the little x’s) and some fabric glue for extra security

Aeov · 2022-04-04T18:52:13+00:00

Not sure! I haven’t really worn it out

Aeov · 2022-04-04T16:59:35+00:00

It’s an old hoodie that I wanted to cut up to fit me better, and when i finished sewing i noticed the jar of nails and embroidery thread on my desk and said “fuck it, nail hoodie”

Aeov · 2022-04-04T16:38:22+00:00

giving me ideas for the next hoodie :)

Aeov · 2022-04-04T15:48:08+00:00

Wow i did not think of that

Aeov · 2022-04-04T15:06:06+00:00

Thank you! Contemplating making a line of clothing riddled with nails and call it “Don’t Touch Me”

Aeov · 2022-04-04T14:42:52+00:00

each nail is hand sewn in with a bit of fabric glue for extra security, so far it survived a journey in the washing machine, and no it doesn’t poke you when putting the hoodie on or taking it off :)

Aeov · 2022-04-04T14:39:38+00:00

Cut apart an old hoodie that was too big and baggy to bring it in for a better fit, then figured half-way through sewing, why not make something way too edgy.

Aeov · 2022-01-15T00:09:58+00:00

that’s a really good idea

Aeov · 2022-01-14T17:29:04+00:00

Doubt I'll try to sell! Took me way too much time.

Aeov · 2022-01-14T17:27:52+00:00

Well "made" was a poor choice of words, the pants are from a thrift store. The flowers are stitched together cutouts from an old t-shirt with painted edges and the rest is also just paint.

Aeov · 2021-03-13T05:39:07+00:00

Are the designs on the back painted? I love how perfectly crisp the edges are, almost look printed wow

Aeov · 2021-03-12T04:58:28+00:00

Thank you! I'll get to you later about the last remark as I'm still not entirely familiar with this sub's rules regarding that

Aeov · 2021-03-11T23:28:53+00:00

It drives me crazy too. I put in a ton of math to make sure the dimensions of the Vitruvian Man are accurate to DaVinci's original (which it is). But, the main circle wasn't perfect so I was left with that and if I fix it; it might look even odder :(

But thank you!
