No Reverse? No problem! Sewing without a reverse button on your machine

 Does your sewing machine have no reverse function?  Is the reverse button on your machine perhaps even broken?  Here's a video short of a tip on how to solve this problem with minimal fuss, so you can keep sewing even with the most vintage of sewing machines, without having to secure the seam at the ends

 


 I hope this helps someone out there!  Happy Sewing!

Update part 2 - I have a E-Zine! Learn how to sew!

 I did tease on one of my videos that I was working on an e-zine, that people can download for free, and print out a single copy to use, for beginner sewists, that I wrote out by hand.  

Well, that first volume is LIVE!

 You can find the link to the E-zine to download it, from my Ko-Fi page

 Keep in mind that if you find any value in any of my work, or enjoy seeing what I'm doing, or want to support me through school, or making YouTube videos, please consider making a donation to my Ko-Fi page

 Click on, or scan the QR code to go to my Ko-Fi page to download the E-Zine today! 

 

 
As a taste of what to expect, here's a sample page from my first volume: 


 

I hope you enjoy, and please, send a message on YouTube or Ko-Fi if you find it useful, or if you want to ask a question, or help me out on any project I'm working on!

Making a handstitched soup bowl cosy - last minute handmade gift idea

 

 

Come on in and grab your bowl of soup.   


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.
