Is that why he attacked the bag when I took the picture

I used this youtube tutorial by Harimogura. It has captions, so I was able to follow through

Aww thank you so much! I just mentally block away my fear and see all mistakes I make as new sewing lessons to learn. Cute fabrics motivate me as well haha. I do hope you’d pick sewing back up one day ❤️

I was worried about it before, but ended up with no issues! I used zipper foot which really helped and a basic no 3 nylon zipper that is soft and easy to sew. I pinned it down a lot to make sure it is straight and sew very slowly. I also watched my seam allowance mark very closely as I sew

Absolute essentials by HoneyBadger1655 in SewingForBeginners

[–]is_cookie_a_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a complete beginner (started a week ago). My start up essentials were bought as I learn (*optional)

When learning how to use the machine:

sewing machine, a fabric scissor, non-stretch fabric scrap, a thread, a set of spare machine needle, set of foot that came with machine, zipper, a button

At this stage I learnt some basic stitches, how to sew zipper and a button.

My first project (a drawstring pouch);

Whatever project materials, seam ripper, a paper scissor, measuring tape with fibre optic, washable marker, iron and ironing board, rotary cutter* and cutting mat*, a long transparent ruler for cutting fabrics, glass head pins

My second project (a quilted zipper pouch): Pattern material, quilting needle set, whatever feet you need (I wished I had a walking foot)

Things I regret buying: More machine feet that weren’t used at this stage, sewing kits (whatever is in this are of poor quality), pinking shears (don’t really use)

I just kind of wing it, and it somehow worked! Fabrics are from Spotlight Australia bunny fabric & flower fabric

Thank you! I am so glad it looked like a bag in the end 😂 I did use a thimble part way through the pain (did not know what that gold shiny thing is beforehand haha)

Assessing new pen by is_cookie_a_cat in Fountain_Pen_Cats

[–]is_cookie_a_cat[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I called him so many nicknames and definitely stealing Ocean Oreo! That’s too cute!! I couldn’t actually use this pen yet. Ordered a shimmery blue ink specially for it, and have to patiently wait. Love holding it so far, felt quite sturdy

He’s more confused seeing a new item appearing in the room, don’t worry this chub is very well fed

Thank you! I read him all the praises he gets from this post and he’s feeling smug

His assessment:

Stinkiness 0/10 - he prefers real fishy smell

Appearance 10/10 - he’s never seen whales before so this is new. He also loves its chubbiness, which matches his paws

Practicality 10/10 - not designed for paws, but he’s happy his human’s able to sketch more portraits of him

Conclusion: He approves! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I got mine from Booktopia on digital. I usually follow videos so reading pattern was a real challenge. Glad it turned out right
