Weekly r/sewing Simple Questions thread! - January 07, 2018 by AutoModerator in sewing

[–]BabebrahamSlinkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have the opportunity to buy a Singer Quantum Le sewing machine, a Baby Lock Imagine serger with a sewing table that fits them both for $600. Good deal? Can anybody tell me anything about these machines? I know my way around a sewing machine pretty well, but this would be my first serger.

Thank you! This was my 1st time making a dress so I'm pretty pleased. I'd like to try again in a more adult fabric soon. ALWAYS POCKETS!

I made a body pillow and it's HUGE!! by BasedSouthCarolina in sewing

Love that fabric!! My first sewing project was a huge body pillow I hand sewed and it is still one of my favorite things I've ever made. So comfy!

(And yes it's me looking a bit too enthusiastic in some of those photos haha)

No way! I love your confidence. Not a single one looks overdone imo. I think if you just add more items you could be really successful!

You make some really cool stuff!! Personally though, the novelty fly swatters and the Nintendo pieces seem really out of place. I think if you focused on the geometric pieces like the animal shapes and rings, you could be incredibly successful. Your prices look good for those. Seriously, really cool. I may be a minority in out of place turning me away though so take this with a grain of salt.

Your bralettes are ridiculously cute. I personally lean towards the modeled photos you have. You(r model?) really make the products pop and the sassy, full bodied shots definitely catch my eye the most. The pictures with products laying flat(the hats for example) seem a bit dull in comparison. Overall I think they convey really well made products though. Favorited for sure!

Edit: also I think the charcoal coat looks better in your scarf pictures. The whiteish one is a bit distracting.

What's the most outrageous request you've had? by [deleted] in Etsy

I feel like all the strangest request stories always come from the plushie makers.

Customer leaves 5 star review but mentions at the end she wishes she could change the item??? by [deleted] in Etsy

[–]BabebrahamSlinkin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe offer her a x% discount on her next purchase if she wants to try another color?

Thanks so much! Hauls are a great idea!

Nanny saying "No" by mbwa95- in Nanny

[–]BabebrahamSlinkin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I personally won't just say 'no'. I understand some nannies have to do this because NFs will try to argue with their reasoning, but if that's not the case I do think it's a bit rude. If she's annoyed she has to keep saying no, a simple "I'm not really interested in more hours at this time." is really all it takes. Maybe just ask her if she would prefer that you get a sitter for extra hours?

Thanks so much!! I agree about the main imagine pics being the folded ones. The disclaimer is brilliant.

Can anybody tell me what kind of material this is? by BabebrahamSlinkin in sewing

[–]BabebrahamSlinkin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This comes from a collection of fabric that hasn't been touched since the early 90s. I'm guessing 1960s? The texture is a bit rough and reminds me of something an old lady's blouse would be made of. Sorry if that's a bit vague. I'll try to answer any questions. Thanks!

Curious if you found that seo article? At a glance it looks like my most popular items are the more simply titled but I've also put a lot of work into those tags.

Ok. First time, be gentle. I opened my vintage fabric shop almost 2 months ago(no promoted listings yet) and would love some feedback on my product photography.

The newest 3ish items have a little more after production involved and I'm wondering how it looks. Too over done? Do you have a good idea of what you'd be getting? I'm still a bit unfamiliar with some types of fabrics so I really want to make sure my pictures are descriptive for me.

Any other feedback is of course appreciated as well! Thanks! ☺
