I’m on the way to fix/alter everything that doesn’t fit me right. lol
This old Uniqlo pocketable windbreaker lost elasticity of the cuff binding long time ago, and the too-long sleeves have been annoying me to no end. Fixed! 😁✌️

RE: https://mathstodon.xyz/@gwenbeads/116415723667214889
What a great hand stitched neckline technique for jersey t-shirts!
The other one shared in the comments is also very interesting.
Thanks @gwenbeads for sharing it in details!
#sewing #handsewing -
I found a new way to bind an edge on cotton jersey with hand stitching. The challenge is to find something that is easy to do, won’t stretch over time, and won’t curl. I think this one passes.
This binding is not fast to do because it takes several passes of pinning and sewing, but none of them are particularly challenging to do. It finishes at 3/4” (19mm), so it doesn’t look too dainty for a man’s shirt. I’m repeating it on all the hems of the shirt I’m currently sewing.
1. Fold hem to outside 7/16”. Pin. Baste.
2. Cut strip of jersey 1.25” wide, crosswise. Stretch to curl.
3. Pin strip down its center, centered over fold.
4. Whipstitch center (black thread).
5. Uncurl bottom edge and whipstitch (brown thread). -
Meant to add the finished party dress - now this thread is in the wrong order - but a bit of chaos never hurt anyone!!

#WIPWednesday I have added a day dress to Teddy’s wardrobe with a practical apron for wearing when doing housework.

After several years of contemplating, I’ve finally altered my Patagonia jacket’s sleeves (which were too long and annoying) to fit me perfectly. The hardest part was undoing and removing the binding tape cloth from the sleeves. Now I will love wearing this well-loved jacket even more!

@MakersHour A1 oh no! Missed it - so much going on here and Oh late home from work but I have been dressing a bear - it’s not finished yet but here is a progress picture from her fitting earlier today. #PartyDress #MakersHour #HandSewing

4/lots Teddy’s party dress is coming along. Pleased with my hand rolled hems - no glue here.

3/lots I have cut out some dress fabric: - with a toy like this which is playable I need to make the clothes robust and removable so I may make a full wardrobe for her. Changing clothes is a fun game.

Mending can sometimes be thought of as a chore, but I find it really relaxing and enjoyable, especially when I've got a good podcast to listen to.
This time around I'm repairing socks. I don't usually feel like store bought socks are worth it, but I have a couple that I really like, and they've lasted longer than normal, so I thought I'd give it a try and see if it helps.

Nice quiet afternoon sewing a night coif.
The pattern is coif 1a from the Marquis of Winchester's Regiment living history guide to coifs and hair, but the fabric is far from historical, being the button-side front of a red checked flannel shirt. (The buttonhole-side front has been a night-coif for over a year now.)

Handsewing historically accurately but mainly in the sense that both the sewists of yore and I do it this way bc neither of us have access to a functioning machine whereas historical costuming purists absolutely could use a machine but dont for the aesthetic
Come at me purists, the sewists of yesteryear absolutely would have used a machine if theyd had it and you know it

zine from Friday that actually wasn’t finished until Saturday 🙃
Tso has a special adventure pack and is trying desperately to make Oat jealous.
The eggs have got their own mission to attend to!

My work for the next days: Sewing these flowers and butterflies (there ist batting underneath each, glued with textile glue) with ladder stitch all around the edges on the bought pillow case (80 x 80 cm). After this it is quilting time. 🧵
(Not everything is my colour palette/pattern, but it's especially requested by my kid. I sew a relatively simple quilt blanket out of big blocks in rainbow colours last year for my child and will also appliqué butterflies and my beloved rainbow-flowers on this.)#handsewing #nähen #sewing #handnähen #slowStitching #quilt #quilting #slowCrafting #Handarbeit #NähenVonHand #SewingForKids #Handarbeiten #quilten #nähenFürKinder #EPP #Hexies #Hexagon #EnglishPaperPiecing

Finally did a bit more work on this coat, my interlining is sorted, my interfacing is handsewn in, and I only mildly regret picking a vintage #pierrecardin for #vogue pattern from the sixties.
Next I need to decide whether to commit to bound buttonholes or not. Pros: they're pretty and that's what the pattern asks for
Cons: I have tried them exactly once quite a while ago and remember nothing.
Also don't have buttons big enough so I'm toying with covering some ugly plastic ones in wool, although apparently you're only supposed to use shank buttons. There's enough fabric at the back to sew them on to the coat eventually...I can't tell if this is feasible or one of my less brilliant plans. -

Did my first blind hem today!
I altered some new pants for a wedding I am going to this week. I am pretty happy with how it turned out!

Some of you may remember that last year I have been #handsewing a shirt in red wool, but by the time I've mostly¹ finished it it was already too warm to be able to wear it significantly.
At least, the Sensible Season seems to have started, and I can wear it!
There will be a blog post. At some unknown time in the future.
¹ it does need a few detachable collar and cuffs variants, to style it a bit differently, but those don't prevent me from wearing the shirt as is.

#bastingIsYourFriend #bastingIsYourBestie #handsewing #customSewing #Couture #ottawaSewist #sewing dress ready for it’s first fabric fitting for a client, I always hand baste my zipper in place accurately to ensure all is good! I offset the underside from the seam line by about 2mm to ensure the teeth and stitches will be covered when it’s finally sewn in. #sewingTips
