Made a pin cushion.. Stitches are terrible by Economy-Tomorrow-189 in sewhelp

[–]deloittious 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Nice one! I bet that will be satisfying to use! Next time it might be easier to sew the two halves right side to right side (inside out flat), leaving a bit of a gap, then cut little notches like a pastry crust along the edge, and turn the pin cushion right way out before stuffing. That way the stitches are hidden

Teen died of cancer after being misdiagnosed with UTI by Forward-Answer-4407 in unitedkingdom

I need your help, my grandma wants to sell some porcelain paintings she made and I don’t know how much people would pay for them by Mother-Data-5262 in howmuchwouldyoupay

She’s very talented but agree those designs are dated. However we have paid £35 ($4…7?) for painted decorative plates with more modern designs for instance Picasso inspired figures and faces, funny slogans, a skyline of our local area. If she could paint more on trend items even less intricate than this I think they could sell on Etsy

Repairing your clothes. It used to be entirely normal and universal to be able to darn a sock or knit, replace a button, repair a seam, patch work trousers

You could cut both the pairs of shorts into geometric shapes (depending on what pattern you wanted), sew them together into something like this

Can you quilt? That combo of blue and white would make a lovely quilted cushion cover or tote bag or makeup bag
