So for a good few years I made monster costumes as one of my jobs so I've made multiple mustle suits, various monster skins, including one with lots of mouths all over it's body, a dinosar, werewolves, some alien looking thing from a computer game and so on :) I also once made a coat with no arms and very wide shoulders out of very shiny glitter vinyl which slipped so much i ended up using masking tape on all the seams to allow the sewing machine to grip them then had to pick it out from under all the stitching !
Hayley is there an edit post function I've missed please? I couldn't find it and had to delete my first post and start again-flippin spell check changed Degu to drugs! Completely changed the tone of my post lol
This is the Kaitlin Crossbody purse by Kandou Crafts (available on Etsy). The finished dimensions are : 11" wide x 10" high x 3" deep and it is fully lined and has two exterior slip pockets, an exterior feature zip pocket on the front, plus an interior zip pocket for additional security.
I have jumped on the bestie bag train at last. I am fairly new to bag making. I decided (no idea why!) that I could make it out of some thin Italian leather I had on a domestic sewing machine. It was a labour of love, especially on the thicker parts. I used a African wax fabric for the lining
Made two Skye dresses from subscriptions boxes while I was the retreat last weekend. Both I sewn in facing instead of bias binding. Got the idea from Liz @thebakerthatsews. Also using up my stash from the boxes. Can't wait for the warmer weather to wear them.☀️☀️☀️
Hi Allison. Its not portable but my desk is an adjustable height desk and I just love them saves my back, I can make sure it is absolutely the correct height (approx £180 from amazon - I have 2 now. One for work). I hope you find something that works for you.
I am definitely interested in this option its something I have been considering for a while . I have a horn cabinet for my sewing machine but to be honest I never shut it down and its just a bulky space eater.
As a curvy individual I struggle making trousers, now don't get me wrong I'm not making jeans or anything close fitting (let's be serious I want to be comfortable!). I have 2 questions I'm hoping you wonderful people might be able to help me with!
1) if I make trousers with a zip fly do I use my hip measurement to chose the size to get them to fit? I have a big different between my waist and hips so I need to make sure they go over my butt but fit my waist. Does a zip fly style easily allow this? (I hope that makes some kind of sense!)
2) what is this drag line from waist to thigh, and how do I fix it? It's not exactly coming from the crotch but more thigh area (these are RTW but demonstrate the issue I have really well)
