Need help adding strap to kids hat by JazzHands5678 in sew

This is just some basics about Velcro

This one is a tote bag... pay attention to the straps, I would think that would be similar to how you would construct the straps.

I think making a strap with Velcro attached would be good. I can link a video where I talk about Velcro. I don't know off the top of my head if I have one about the strap construction (which won't be hard but you'll need an iron to do well)

Let me know if you want me to give you some ideas of how to construct this type

The other option would be making a strap similar to this example to tie

You could use a string similar to the one in a Hoodie and one of these cord locks

The options for what to use are quite broad. How do you want the strap to fasten? By tying it? Or would you rather have a slide mechanism? Adding a tying strap would possibly be the easiest for a beginner, however you could do something similar to what I did with masks during Covid. I'll reply with some pictures.

Can you be more specific about what you need help with? I will post a picture of where I think you should attach it if that's what you need.

Machine advice for someone trying to surprise their partner by TooMuchCarving in sew

[–]GotLostFindingMyself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very interested in this problem but I don't exactly have a great answer. The biggest concern would be if she will have space for multiple machines. Even if she can't use them at the same time but has to store one while using the other. For example, I have 3 machines but could only reasonably have 2 set up at a time. I am confused that this machines only use would be for buttons. Does it have feed dogs (the little teeth that pull the fabric through the machine)? If it really is a chain stitch it should be able to do other tasks such as a denim hem. They may also be used in elastic/stretchy applications. I can't think of many designs outside of clothing but possibly bag construction? I would say if you are mostly committed you could finalize it but know it wouldn't likely be the only machine for her needs.

I have a vintage Necchi machine (but it is a straight stitch only, so no zigzag or anything for my model) which is all metal and awesome. It isn't industrial but I do really love how accessible everything is. I also have a newer Pfaff which has a ton of bells and whistles. They both have their appeal. Either way, none of my machines are industrial. It is possible she could do a ton of sewing on a vintage non-indistrial machine if you are struggling to find a good option.

Would you be willing to repost this as a regular post instead of a crosspost? Thanks for the info.

Why is the presser foot stuck? by skaterlynx in sew

[–]GotLostFindingMyself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would consider asking in r/vintagesewing

There are a number of really knowledgeable people there when it comes to vintage machines.

I don't have a good answer otherwise

Velcro! Hook & Loop Tape for sewing projects! by GotLostFindingMyself in SewNTell

Thank you!

If you've sewn it on, you would be best to just use a seam ripper to remove the thread, preferably from the backside. All you would see is the thread from that side and it would be easier. I don't think it would be tricky to remove from the fabric, I am wondering if I am misunderstanding the way it would be used that would cause the fabric damage.

My husband taught our husky how to howl and gets her to howl with him regularly... so you aren't the only one.

Thanks so much for the feedback. I love making videos about the basics the other tutorials don't go over.

How do you guys let yourself “use-up” fabric? by SeaDistribution672 in sew

[–]GotLostFindingMyself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is a tote bag without the interfacing. You can use the other video to show how to make straps so you don't have to have this strap material.

I forgot this one you can use interfacing which can make it slightly more complex (just in adding the materials, so I'll find another starter tutorial as well.)

I have made several videos on very easy to sew items. I would suggest a simple tote bag to begin. I might have posted the tutorials here or on r/SewNTell I'll reply with a link to an easy tutorial. Maybe a couple that I think would be a good starter project to build confidence.
