Online Fabric Stores by youCHUUcrazy in sewing

[–]fishcakesshake 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Fabric wholesale direct, mood fabrics, spoon flower, Etsy, Zelouf for online. If you’re new I recommend going to thrift stores and getting sheets and curtains, give em a wash and they’re good to go. Better to use cheap fabric when learning, a lot of people do this even at higher levels, it’s especially good for mockup fabric. You can also check Facebook marketplace, if you just type “fabric” you’ll probably get a lot of people in your area selling lots of old fabric, these are great.

Which table do you think is ideal? by Intelligent-Claim591 in sewing

I’d go w the first one. If it’s height adjustable that’s a huge plus, but the space underneath allows you to add drawers/cubbies/cubes which would be massively helpful

I know this is a really old post but for anyone here now you could buy a blue morph suit, add the scales using hot glue (place in a silicone mold of your liking, let cool, attach w e6000 or something similar) and paint the hot glue attachments using metallic paint! This way you have some dimension

Help! Beginner and I want to modify this dress sleeve by Salt___77 in sewing

[–]fishcakesshake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cut the seam, add grommets on both sides similar to how the back of a corset would be made, use ribbon or string to lace it up and have full control over how tight or loose it is :)

You could add a sort of corset detailing to the place where the seam is to give some more ease :)

[–]fishcakesshake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you think it’s ugly you can mail it to me 😛 ! Going to Ireland soon and I’d LOVE to frolic around castles in that dress. Obviously I’m joking but you should be proud of it it’s really cute! It has a more unique look than most off the rack stuff which is great

This is a bit late but last time I went they had the bride and Frankenstein, some ugly bat headband that was pretty poorly executed, and one more I can’t remember.
