Yes. Scissor panic is a thing. It isn't the sewing machine that is scary, it's the scissors. I LOFF the idea of a drawstring in the hem!

It is such a useful thing!

Many years ago I was making a wedding dress for a friend. I was having problems putting in the zipper. (I've always hated putting zippers in on the sewing machine.) So I decided to put it in by hand. I used a stitch I will call a backhand stitch. I would start the needle pointing to the top of the dress. Then I would put the needle down below the first hole. It sort of made a kinda locking stitch. It wasn't very neat but it kept the zipper in. I probably should have used a tiny hemming stitch. But I had fun doing it.

Ohh the anxiety of cutting fabric, even when there's no lace involved 😅 Once again your work is absolutely stunning, I'm especially a fan of the insertion lace. Maybe I'll dare to cross that bridge myself at some point. I'm off to visit my parents soon and there will be a new baby assistant to meet there, I only hope that we'll have the luck of having a fantastic assistant such as Madam Soot 🥰 Maybe some lessons on how to assist most effectively will be in order before I take my knitting projects out.

I always do the thread pull for my linen work.. it snaps constantly but sometimes I get a little over a foot (30.5 cm) worth of clean pull. The front view of the apron looks like a matching skirt or a dress it matches your top so well in that light. Cleaning feels unending, especially with forever shedding pets.

@KristineVike

Yeah, the snappage is real, but also so satisfying to get a good, long thread. 😅

I... might have to make myself a fruit picking apron. I usually carry a basket around when I go pick beans and cut chard, but an apron would be so much more convenient, and I wouldn't have to risk kicking it over

Linen is so very squiggly and slipping around on the worktable. 😐

You always make the most whimsical and magnificent creations. You also use such beautiful fabric, and yarn, and lace. Seriously, that linen thread is gorgeous! (Alas, the only one I've had the displeasure of finding is a tiny overpriced 50 meter spool with the consistency of dental floss.)

@KristineVike

Жыл бұрын

Of, that is frustrating. The linen thread I am using is actually meant for weaving (which is why it is on a ridiculously large spool 😅) and has lumps that are less than ideal for sewing. But luckily the beeswax really helps!

@@KristineVike I want to, but I'm also conflicted about it. One side goes: ok, so we want something that drapes nicely. Some ruching along the hem. Definitely a pocket, or maybe rather two for balance. Some lace. It'll be really aesthetically pleasing and I'm going to love using it. Let's draw up a pattern. The other side goes: I have that old bedsheet. If I cut a rectangle out of that and add shoelaces for ties, we're good. AuDHD struggles. 🤦🏼‍♀️

It's absolutely beautiful!

Sorry I couldn’t stand trying to sew knit weave or any fibre crafts with the cat,ours just sheds far too much to have anything clean when finished so she is out of the room and knows better than to sit on my quilts or anything love your beautiful apron
