Turtle neck sweater top-Palazzo Pants today and wear tomorrow- Meetups Have stopped but I have not

-

 Christmas is coming and I just couldn't do the meetups and MyNormal life....  

 


This is it...  Outfit today wear tomorrow.

Slight drawback with my Pfaff sewing machines.

I am using a 2nd from the bottom Brother.

I bought this machine at the beach when it was pouring down rain, and I made a pair of pants, so it does work.  I just did the seam that is worn out in my pants that are probably ten years old, but I love them and they are black...It worked.

I did the collar and the sweater middle, now I just need to sew the sleeves on and the hem.  I did this yesterday. in the morning.



I just have to sew these sleeves on and the hem.


It worked on this pants seam...


I have more than one Pfaff, but I put off taking themto have them cleaned and realigned...

Remember I sew at about 80 miles an hour everyday and night and well, frankly I am  not good on machines...sewing-cars-anything as Well, full calendar...no time to stop.

Just made this for my little grandson

had to do a lot by hand when the machine stopped....

I have more than one machine, but I burn them up and wear them out and throw them in the floor and pick up another one...until...... I got none..

NOT Exactly true...


I have half of these cut out and they are a quick sew if the machine keeps working.


Then

I have a stinky little machine that I can barely make sew straight stitches... bottom of the line plastic kind... BUT, I will make it work, because

I am working until the end of November and then I will be going by the sewing machine doctor that works on Pfaff machines.

Not many good Pfaff doctors around.

Yes, they are 30 years old when they were top of the line... and I bought them used...and I have all the embroidery discs..so I am slow to part with them.

Then I have the lining to cut out of Black satin Sunback...  and I will sew it into



I am dreaming of a new one...sooo maybe if I work hard enough to deserve one that I have in my sights.  Gstreet sells Bernina.  There is a Bernette model that has the built in walking foot and all the software with it on sale .. still not chump change.   BUT  I do deserve it.... and a new car ...hahaha... but that isnt happening.  Well we will see.   I will most likely be working tomorrow Saturday 2-7:30, if you want to see.

Making a Room Divider with Fabric and Cardboard

 Making Things that are Easy and Quick Everything I do is not always sewing as you could see from my Polar Fleece edging blog.  Now I am sewing today, but I am planning a room divider.  I really don't lift heavy things, but I have a doorway that is just a hole to under the stairs where I store things.  I want to put a room divider there. A.  I can't find anything I like. B.  They are probably heavy. So  I am going to put random pieces of cardboard together to the size I want and then cover it with Library fabric that looks like books on shelves.  This has been something I have been searching for and have not been able to find for a month or two.  So I decided to make one. Sew, I am posting a picture of the divider I fashioned.  It is actually attached to a hanger so that it can be rotated to go into the storage space under the stair.  There is no electrical light, so I managed to find some motion detector lights on amazon that I could stick on the sides and under a stair back a

  More Intermediate sewing on  https://www.sewmorewithkitty.com This is the method where you slip the fringe through the top of itself.  THIS IS NOT QUICK!. Easy you can do while watching a movie.   I used this template purchased at GSTREETFABRICS   where I work a few days a week.  One piece of patterned fleece one piece of solid fleece the same size and a rotary cutter and this template.  You also need a self-healing matt so you don't cut through to your table or bedspread etc.  You can see here I have a folded cardboard tabletop with a self-healing mat and then the two fabrics I am cutting. First lay your two fabrics on top of each other and make sure they are cut to the same size. Second cut out a five inch square corner on all for corners Cut out the corners out in this case 5 " Cut the Strips  1 1/2 wide or 3 slots in Fringe cutter 5" in Poke a hole with your Seam ripper slightly elongated to allow to pull the corner through. In this case I made the fringe strips 1 1
