As a heads up, I will be facilitating at the Tinker workshop again, for sewing assistance, visible mending, mending suggestions, and other fiber related things.
Have a torn fabric item that you want to fix that you need a bit of guidance?
Have a home sewing pattern you are stumped on by the instructions?
Have a hole in your sock?
Come on down and I will help you out
Limited amount of seats available, and please be sure to register at the link below:
Need
something to keep your bowl warm, and your fingers insulated from the
heat? This might be the perfect household item to do just that.
You might also be able to make one for a friend or family member!
This
project only took me 2 days to make, while filming, but if this is your
first time, or if you make one that has more top stitching, you may
need more time to make it.
Above is the pattern
Please note that you may need to adjust the darts for length, and width, as well as the size of the fabric, for the size of your bowl.
Now....before anyone says anything, I bought this machine with my own money, and zero sponsorships from Singer sewing company.
I only heard about the pitfalls of this machine after I bought it, and only mentioned a few things in the video as to why I bought it.
Your machine may be better than this one, but most modern domestic machines thread in the same way, which is what I'm trying to showcase, not this specific brand and model.
In fact, you'll notice that I semi de-badged this machine.
With that said, I think some of you out there may find this video helpful, with even non-Singer branded machines.
As for reviews, you know a sewing machine is sturdy by the feel and "drive" of it in a way. This specific make and model feels about as cheaply made as the Singer Esteem II that was given to me, that you may have seen in other videos.
I also have a Singer branded serger that "does the job"
However, if I had the space, and money to get industrial machines, I probably would, but being in an apartment, I can't afford that kind of space, so home sewing machines will have to do.
The one that really feels the most sturdy, is my vintage 1937 Singer 99k machine. It still needs a bit of repair, and looking at the springs to get the tension discs to de-tension when I lift the presser foot, but it still works all the same.
