Draping - A Tutorial of Sorts I adore draped clothing. I think it is figure flattering on pretty much anyone, and it just adds an element of elegance to even the most simple designs. In case you have no idea what I am talking about, here are a few examples of draping. See? I say "formula" because I see it as exactly that. The front, obviously, is the tricky part. Here is the trick, if you just widen the width of your shirt, you will get an unflattering floppy fold at the neck. Next, I measured down 3 1/2 inches and marked that. I wanted my arm hole to be 8 inches long so I measured down 8 inches and marked that. Now I cut out that just that piece. Next, I drew myself a line from the bottom of the arm hole to the bottom of the shirt, tapering down the size. The idea when you sew, is to turn the top of the shirt in so that the shoulder seam is now at the top where it should be. I found that it was easiest to hem the neck of the back shirt piece and all the arm holes first, before sewing the back and front together.

Zipper Tutorial » twelve22 Once upon a time, somebody asked how I do my zippers. Because I like to share knowledge, I decided I’d write up a little tutorial for my method (and probably the method of others, too). Because I am lazy busy, it’s taken me a long time, but I finally got round to it. Some things: This is a tutorial for a zipped pouch, but you can use the same method on larger projects. If you put little ‘end caps’ on the ends of the zipper before sewing it into your project, you can have a zip that doesn’t go all the way across, as with this purse. Take one piece of your outer fabric and lay it down on top, right-side-down, creating a delicious zipper sandwich. With your sewn zipper sandwich, fold back the two pieces of fabric so the wrong sides are together, like so: Again, you can pin your pieces together or iron it flat, but I just can’t be bothered. Repeat for the other side of the zipper, and you’ll wind up with something like the photo below.
TUTORIAL - Alterations to the FREE Buttercup Bag Pattern A few of us Craftsters have made the free Buttercup Bag Pattern from here: I made a bag with quite a few alterations to it, including enlarging the pattern to 125% on the photocopier. Here's the link to the one I made: The alterations I made were: Firstly - enlarged to 125%Added a mobile phone pocket instead of a flat pocketAdded a zipperLengthened the strap to 24"Interfaced the outer topA couple of words of advice. OK. Then cut your pieces for the bag. Then you need to add the side bits to the zipper, like this: Then you need to cut the whole piece to 1 3/4" wide x length of outer upper piece, centering the zipper, like this: Now you need to sandwich the zipper between the lining bottom and top, like so: Repeat for the other side. Then sew the lining together. Make sure you leave an opening in the lining to turn right sides out: OK. Turn right sides out.
Sewing Tips: Attaching Buttons with a Sewing Machine Don’t you love realizing there’s a faster way to do something? [If only there was a faster way to potty train a snarky little 3 year old boy who tells me it's not time to poop (or pee for that matter) in the potty yet. While I was changing his messy diaper yesterday, I suggested he give his potty chair another try......and he quickly responded, so matter-of-factly, "Not today mommy, maybe when I'm 4!" Anyway, I digress. But today’s little trick will definitely save you some time. Now you can sew them on with your sewing machine in a few easy steps. I sure wish I would have realized this trick back when I made this pillow (found here). Sheesh, those buttons took me a long time to attach. So don’t let those little buttons intimidate you. After you get the hang of this technique (after practicing on one or two) you’ll never go back. (And a I have had several emails asking about making button holes. Would you like to learn how to sew on your buttons with your sewing machine? What are feed dogs?
Blog Le Nouveau Comptoir - Part 2 Le fil qui « choucroute »dessous. Lorsque le fil « choucroute » du coté de la canette,ce n’est, la plupart du temps ,pas à cause de la canette mais du fil supérieur (qui peut etre mal enfilé). Recommencer en priorité l’enfilage complet de la machine. Ensuite avant de penser que la machine à coudre est en panne,il faut vérifier la longueur de l’aiguille,(pour cela mettre une aiguille Schmetz dont la longueur est parfaite), Réenfiler la machine avec un bon fil synthétique(type Mettler,Gutermann en 2ou 3 brins maximum).Faire un essai sur un tissu de coton sans problème.
