    Is it worth it? Yes. It's all I have. Please show the brass embkem on yours! I've never seen it red! That's very cool. The machine is probably what the serial number says it is, but the electricity is retrofitted.

    Hi there, I really like this design thanks for uploading this tutorial video as well as the instruction sheet! As a complete sewing beginner, I have managed to get up to around 16:55 in the video and from then on I am really confused and am finding the video a bit unclear. Does the strap go between the facing and the overturned fabric, or between the overturned fabric and the original back skirt? How really do I position the strap in the fabric when I am sewing it (you can't really see in much detail in the video as it is covered by other fabric), sorry I have never sewed a strap before. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    • @Helenasew
      @Helenasew ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! You want to sandwich the strap inbetween the right sides of the facing and the main fabric(which is the back skirt panel), I only turned it over so that you can see that I am placing the right(good) side of the facing and the right(good)side of the back skirt panel together. The way it's laid in the video, I placed the back panel with the right side down, making the front and back have the right sides facing. You can tack the strap down(use a long stitch like 3-5mm) just to keep it in place before you sew the facing and back skirt together(sorry its hard to tell with the fabric the right and wrong sides, I should have used different fabric). Make sure it's not twisted either. Then make sure to iron the seam allowance towards the facing side, and do an understitch. (all this is done before you sew the side seams)

    • @amberfleming7292
      @amberfleming7292 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi thanks, this was very helpful but alas I am still stuck on this step. I heard you mention something about a 'notch' but being a beginner I am not quite sure what this is. Sorry these are probably really simple but I just can't envisage it! Three more questions about the strap: 1. when sandwiching the strap between the back and the facing, do I bring in the strap from the bottom or the top of the facing (relative to the image at 17:05). 2. how do I know exactly how far from the vertical side (relative to 17:05) of the back skirt each strap should be. 3. how do I know exactly how far from the horizontal side (relative to 17:05) I should place the strap before sewing it? Like how much strap length should I leave before I sew over it? Sorry I hope these questions make sense, thanks for any help!

    Thanks! I’m about to purchase this pattern. I was going to add a tiered skirt to it with some waist ties. I may change the sleeves out to make them shorter too. Lovely pattern! One question. Can I replace the elastic thread with elastic channels? My washing machine eats elastic thread so I don’t really use it

    • @Helenasew
      @Helenasew ปีที่แล้ว

      I think elastic channels would work too! You might need to add zipper if you add a tiered skirt, depends how loose you make the elastic.

      I don't know enough about irons to say but my opinion is, invest in a good quality iron. So if you can afford the more expensive one. Then do it. I have had mine for years and it was like 80-100 bucks.

  • @RatTerrierPuppies
    @RatTerrierPuppies ปีที่แล้ว

    You mentioned sewing with stretchy fabics...If mixing fabrics, I've heard to sew with the stretchier fabric on the bottom since the feed dogs pull , and the less stretchy on the top since the foot drags . Thanks for the video, its getting chilly for the pups on the Gulf Coast, USA. :)

  • @TheBobelly628
    @TheBobelly628 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for the video! I have a grungy case that I never considered removing the cloth! I think I might try this as well since your case looks BEAUTIFUL! Also there is an app to check the serial number ,search Singer Sewing , I would recheck that machine’s serial number since the design and details( “eye” gold pattern in the middle)looks like a 1950’s machine.

    Your pants and top are very beautiful especially in the photos taken outside. I do like the color. You did a good job sewing and picking out an appropriate fabric and also, fitting. Good point about what attracts one to the project in the first place. Making the Caraway blouse and noticed what was cute about it to me was the neckline. It took me forever to figure out the neckline in their picture is actually a larger size that is cut off at the shoulders. Using the pattern size that fits results in a smaller, higher, less attractive neckline. This kind of thing can be confusing at the end of the day.

    You done a nice job on the case for it and it looks like you have the machine cleaned up really nice. The vintage Singers are good reliable machines. I have a 99K also, it is a great little machine. I also have my grandmothers 115 made in 1916. That is the machine that got me started into the vintage Singers. I also have a 115J made in 1924, a 15-88 made in 1946 and the previous 3 machines are treadle machines. I also have a 319W made in 1956 a 306K made in 1954 and a 128 made in 1949. They all sew fantastic.

    Hey! I want to buy fabrics from homecraft textiles online store and only want samples. Do you know how big the samples are because im not sure if it's worth it to buy $5 samples but i really need them to fit other fabric looks together. And I don't know if the site actually mentions how big the sample sizes are.

    • @Helenasew
      @Helenasew 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey I've never bought samples from them but most other places I have bought have always been little samples like small squares. So it probably it's overpriced, but I've never ordered from them so you never know. You could try email them, I think they have an email on their website.
