Many apologies, as I often forget to cross-post here. I really should use this blog a lot more often
As many of you know, I've been working on my education. Even if I don't get a job working in the industry, I can keep working on my own wardrobe, and hopefully buying less, and re-using the fabric in my current wardrobe, to make something new, that will long term fit me better
With that said, I have a bunch of videos that I posted since the beginning of the year:
First up, we have a video for basic techniques for those who have never used a sewing machine before
Then we have a quick patch job on one of my favourite tee shirts, from Threadbanger
How about a Deerstalker hat for those who want something fashionable, for a Sherlock Holmes cosplay or for those Holo Taco detectives out there?
Spent a day volunteering at a workshop, to teach people how to mend their clothes, or make it fit better, or even just learning how to use a sewing machine
Made some decor that has a post-apocalyptic vibe, because of the current state of the world, because why not? My Geiger counter is in the shop, and our sassy Vault seamstress isn't having it with ridiculous requests
Taking apart and re-assembling not only 1, but 2 sewing machines!
Struggling with a custom body block and fitting mockups to my body, so I can make my own designs that fit me well
More machine oiling tips, and using nail polish for unconventional uses, to highlight lines on my sewing machine to make it easier to see
I also had a special guest over, to help them with their coat, skirt, and them borrowing my iron. The Shitpost Calligrapher!
There will be more videos to come, that you may not want to miss!
The more you subscribe, like and comment, the more the algorithm will see my work, show it to more people, and they tell two friends, then they tell two friends, and so on, and so on
See something you like? Have a comment on a technique, or want to help me out with my struggles? Go onto YouTube and please leave a comment, so I can reply, and so I'll see it.
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.
