Welcome to v/Sewing (Sewing)

New sub for all things sewing, from crafts to quilts to tents to clothing. Come share your sewing knowledge or link a cool pattern or video. Questions are great too. I'm self taught, only sewing for a few years now, so I'm always looking for better, smarter, or even old time ways to get the job done. I love making something from nothing, totally rewarding and satisfying to the soul, I should have kicked that sewing machine's ass sooner.

Running with scissors is totally allowed here.

I'd have done this with French seams to prevent fraying, but this is a quick way to get the job done.

Tutorial: Fully lining knit hats with polar fleece (techknitting.blogspot.com)

Cold weather will be here before you know it!

From the introduction:

"Lining handknit caps with polar fleece is a good trick to know. Lining with polar fleece can make too-big hats fit, and it eliminates wool itchiness from sensitive foreheads."

I've been so lame this year. I only sewed one article of clothing for myself (sleeveless polka dot summer top). A skirt is so easy. I have no excuses!

How to make fabric display birdhouses (tutorial link in text box) (www.pillarboxblue.com)

A cute project to cheer up any part of the home:

I'll be sewing rather than use glue in some places but that's simply my personal preference. You could leave the roof disconnected and use the house as a storage basket (with the roof as a sort of lid).
