Sewing Thread!

[Artichoke Lover]

I’ve seen several threads related to sewing (Seeing Machine Collecters, Quilting, specific projects, etc. But there doesn’t seem to be a general sewing thread so I decided to creat one. Share favorite patterns, what you are working on, finished projects, questions or ideas!

I’ve been sewing for about 10 years and dabbled in quilting a bit. I’ve completed several projects from pillow cases to aprons and dresses.

I’ve currently got a few projects lined up. A satin pillow case, a skirt and an apron.

I love the title pun, btw.

Can I just share the free beauty I received a couple weeks ago? It's in wonderful shape but boy the wood needs some TLC.

Wow that’s cool!

I honestly didn’t notice the pun until you pointed it out

My mom used to sew most of our clothes, and I learned from her and my home ec. teacher (boy, does that date me!) I am working to reorganize my "sewing room" so that there is actually enough space to not have to lug my machine downstairs to the dining table.

I am a Singer girl all the way! But I like their old machines better than their newer ones.

BTW, @klb25, that's a lovely machine! Congratulations!

Being able to sew all or most of my clothes is a goal for me. I’m an odd size and it’s difficult to find clothes but that also makes it hard to find patterns. I have learned to make alterations to existing clothing though!

Finished my first quilt not that long ago.

A lot of things I’m not happy with but it’s my first so overall I can’t complain.

Looks beautiful to me!

Thank you! Piecing it wasn’t bad. The quilting part gave me a fit.

@SnapdragonQ here's a thread that might interest you, when you're not on the baking thread.

I have a White of the late 20's she has a motor now knee feed ... My Viking Husqvarna is a green machine with three cams last year made in Sweden.
I mostly do quilt but branched out to make tank tops for myself.
