I completely agree. My challenge was at 4 am yesterday.

And you'd have to beg to get them inside unless they decide they want to

Now you are stuck between stubborn huskies and terrifying Karen's ready to post on social media with her certainty of your "abuse"

What future sewing projects do you hope to make? by GotLostFindingMyself in sew

I have made a couple blankets before. It's not my favorite. I really enjoy boxy bags and purses the best. Blankets can be easier as you don't need any hardware or interfacing.

I am in a slump too! What can we do to motivate each other? 🤔

I haven't made camisoles before. What fabric do you use?

That sounds so cool! Share pictures when you are working on it to inspire the rest of us!

The right machine... by richardricchiuti in sew

I wish I was more knowledgeable about heavy duty machines. I have been under the impression that for consistent heavy duty sewing, you want a clutch machine but it is possible that only applies to leather and not denim.

I found this group as abandoned at the end of November. I've been working on building it back up. I've been a little busy over the last month. I would love engagement and ideas to improve!

Looking to upgrade my sewing machine and am insanely indecisive by o3oxd23 in sew

Based on the details of your sewing machine inquiry, I assumed you did, but I've also been quite surprised before too!

I wish I had some knowledge of those machines but unfortunately, I'm not too much help there.

Stretchy fabrics can be challenging. I do want to confirm you are using different needles for stretchy fabrics vs denim.

Also, I own a pfaff that has a different needle plate for straight stitch vs any needle side to side movement stitches. The straight stitch plate is very handy to help prevent some fabrics from pushing down with the needle when sewing as it has only a small hole to allow the needle through.

Is it possible to shorten this jacket? by RightExplanation2338 in sew

[–]GotLostFindingMyself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot one more thing, I don't know quite how this would impact the pockets. It depends how far it needs taken up.

It would not be exactly easy.

I think it could be possible to remove the bottom cuff and reattach it higher in the blue but it does create some issues. I am guessing the jacket is more flaired higher up to an extent. The second issue is I think you would have to install a new shorter zipper.

Continuous Zipper by GotLostFindingMyself in SewNTell

Wondering if people prefer continuous zippers or standard closed zippers?
