@impactology @fibrearts Yes. I got a second hand sewing machine in 2018. Started with simple patterns (vintage patterns at second hand shops or free online, eg peppermint magazine) to learn skills. Indie designers (Helen's Closet) do online tutorials for the patterns & you can learn techniques. Cheap fabric secondhand. Pixelfed is pretty active with makers. Basic skills & then explore!

More #epp (#englishpaperpiecing) and having fun as always. I am making a pillow for my son's room. I made my first patchwork for it around 20 years ago and now it is tattered and needs a new cover. The pillow itself is probably closer to 40 years old, but still very comfortable! 😍 I will show a before and after at some point. This is my kind of holiday! 48 hexagons down, a lot more to go! ❤️

Love this shacket I made, but the fabric in the back massively ripped so I've got quite the patching project on my hands.

Really love this reversible detachable collar I made recently. Had fun coming up with some embroidery designs to put on it with one side having the spooky eyes and a subtler look on the other side of black on black cobwebs.

Yes, that cry of despair you heard echoing thru the heavens WAS me realising I'd cut the sleeves of the #Starfield jacket I'm designing incorrectly...

#SewingProject

@sewing the new hemline is finished ✅
Next is the under arm gusset inserts and sleeve fullness adjustment 🧐

Reusing the scraps to their maximum potentials 🪡

This is my first #sewing machine project! It represents getting over machine fear, and the first step on the way to making my own clothes.
It's just a pillow form, but I learned a lot from doing it.
In the video, I talk through what I've learned in the hopes that it'll help someone else whose thinking about starting to sew.
Things like knuckle placement on the machine and needle and thread sizes.

Officially #sewing for winter 🥶 I'm wearing a #monroeturtleneck (free Tessuti pattern) that I made of striped cotton jersey and my super cozy #wikstenunfoldingjacket and I can tell these are going to get lots of wear. The jacket is lengthened to accommodate a long light down jacket underneath and it's the first fully-reversible garment I have ever made.

I used a combo of cotton rib knit from @darncheapfabrics Fitzroy and printed cotton (almost like fine corduroy) that some lovely person gifted to me a few years ago when we first moved into our current suburb. She and her husband are cobblers and have a shop in Kingsville. I went over to have a few pairs resoled, had a long chat with her, and when I mentioned I was learning how to sew, she gave me a bunch of beautiful cotton and wool fabrics that she had been wanting to de-stash.

Keep warm, Melbourne!

Sometimes you make something and it just calls for fangs. Such was the case with this fancy little capelet I threw together with some wool and velvet remnants I had lying around. I also used it as a chance to add some trimmings like soutash and fringe.

Was gifted a sick Mothman patch, so I had to make something equally great to put it on. I think this two tone black jean jacket fits the #cryptidcore bill. Made it using scrap fabrics from a couple pair of pants I made my partner a few months ago.

New #SewingProject video! I took apart my newly made Victorian walking skirt and made it better, 'cause that's what #sewing is about! Find it at https://youtube.com/@HulloItsIcySews

Morning butterflies how is the week going for you? I'm feeling better #fatigue back at a manageable level yay so I'm planning on cutting out my #sewingproject ready to start on Friday can't wait! Right now I'm rewatching #buffythevampireslayer best show ever

Happy Saturday butterflies how are you today? I hope you have a lovely #weekend. Today I'm hoping to start a new #sewingproject which is exciting! What do you have planned?

I sewed a few projects since I last posted but am particularly happy with Kalle Shirtdress (pattern by Closet Core). I’m @sewing work clothes for the cold months ahead so I lengthened this by 20cm. New things I learned with this project is #sewing a popover button placket and properly improvising inseam pockets. I was surprised the dress version of this does not have pockets (not counting the chest patch pocket).

I can’t think of a kind of garment right now that would not be better with pockets. Underwear? Swimwear? Dancewear? You can’t put pockets on a tutu, right?
