file under: simple thing attempted from the amanda soule book:::::excited to make these green tshirt pants--the first ones i attempted i made way too low for a cloth-baby bottom--and then! i was almost done with these! and my sewing machine freaked out and started sewing really loosely (see the bunched up blue thread at the waist?)
file under: before me sits. . .. :::::: a box of unpaid bills; a bunch of dishes to be done, evidence of weekend revelry; recycling to be recyled (though, to be fair, we actually did take a huge amount of recycling to the plant on friday--so this is actually a less chaotic corner than it used to be)

i'm loving your sewing projects! the cosmic playmat is especially fabulous!
ReplyDeleteif the thread is bunching up, the tension might be too loose. does your bobbin have a metal casing? if so, there is a little screw on the side, you can try to tighten the screw and that might help with the tension. also, make sure you're using the right sized bobbin, otherwise that can mess up the stitches, too.
happy spring! i love the pix of you and finn:)
thanks A you amazing crafter you! i will try that with the machine. . .(i'm making a thing for you but it is now delayed again but i promise you will get it in time for summer!) love, blue
ReplyDeleteso i'm supposed to be studying...but i saw this tutorial on how to turn a band t-shirt into a onesie. a little late for finn, but maybe you could modify the pattern for a toddler sized shirt?
