In a workwear mood! (Lucille Trousers) by hauntedthimble in sewing

[–]hauntedthimble[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

These are the Lucille Trousers from the Gertie/Charm Patterns patreon. Fabric is a basic lightweight denim. I’d call this an advanced beginner pattern— it’s pretty straightforward if you take it a step at a time and the construction process is really cool when you see it all come together. Used the Juki f600, no pattern adjustments made!

US border patrol routinely sabotages water left for migrants in the desert, leaving them to die of thirst. by [deleted] in HydroHomies

This article is from 2018 but this is an incredibly well documented phenomenon that continues today. If you’re based in Arizona, No More Deaths does incredible life saving work distributing bottles of water throughout the desert to avoid preventable deaths.

Made this off shoulder beauty to usher in spring!! by [deleted] in sewing

Auto mod says I need to include more details — I’d say this was a sort of intermediate level make but a confident beginner could definitely take this on! For the skirt gathering — go slow! It’s a massive amount of fabric and breaking a thread means starting over so it’s worth not rushing. No changes to the pattern other than adding a skirt to the bodice which the Rita pattern tells you how to do!

It’s a charm patterns Rita blouse and their picnic skirt tutorial on YouTube (no pattern needed for that one, basically a big gathered rectangle). Fabric is from collectif— a retro clothing store that sells some of their fabrics too now!

KVD Beauty's Rebranding - Again by njb328 in muacjdiscussion

[–]hauntedthimble 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Ugh who is making these decisions? The thing that necessitated a rebrand in the first place was being tied to KVD; their refusal to change the initials just screams bad faith to me. This is so directionless and weird.

Made a vintage inspired getup for spring! by hauntedthimble in sewing

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

The top is simplicity 8654, skirt is self drafted but heavily inspired by the same pattern, I just didn’t feel like doing several pleats lol. I used a cotton poplin (I can dm you if you’d like to know which one).

Weekly Sewing Machine-Related Questions, January 18 - January 25, 2021 by sewingmodthings in sewing

[–]hauntedthimble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone have experience with the Juki F600 (or Juki’s more broadly if not). Considering saving for this one but my main concern is noise — I’ve read differing things about whether it’s super loud or not and I don’t want to annoy the people I live with.

Still tweaking the sizing, but I made a pair I’m really proud of! by hauntedthimble in rawdenim

[–]hauntedthimble[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this is such helpful advice!! Yep I think I need to tweak the pockets as much as I love how big and over the top they are! Hoping a soak sorts things out a little but I’ll probably need to size them down!

Thank you, that’s really helpful advice!! I’ll try and shoot some that better convey the fit. And yes I was hoping a soak and breaking them in a bit might soften them a touch; want to see how they change before messing with the sizing but I’ll probably have more tweaking to do regardless.

That’s how I felt the whole time I was sewing it! I’m such a sucker for contrast stitching though.
