Friday, July 22, 2016. Teaching My Boyfriend How to Sew and Screwing up Men's Boxers. The day my boyfriend asked if he could sew a shirt finally arrived! We decided to go with the McCall's M6044 pattern because we know it sew well (see what I did there? He actually did pretty well with the actual sewing. He does need to sew a little slower and get a little bit better at sewing straight lines, but for his first time he did really well. I was proud of him! As expected, my grandma and I had to whip out the ...

Lavender Shirt + Selling Flowers at the Farmers Market | BryceTheSeamRipper
http://www.brycetheseamripper.com/2016/08/sewing-a-mens-lavender-shirt.html
Sunday, August 21, 2016. Lavender Shirt Selling Flowers at the Farmers Market. I sewed another shirt again! I sew many shirts because shirts are the reason I learned to sew. I love long sleeve shirts, but I'm extremely picky and that makes shopping quite hard. Instead of struggling to find some I like in the store, I just make my own - and have a blast doing it! I, of course, used McCall's M6044 again, which you are probably sick of by now. But don't worry! Tucking the shirt in! Those are always so hard ...

Tuesday, August 30, 2016. Blue and White Long Sleeved Shirt. I sewed a long sleeve shirt again! My grandma found this beautiful fabric at JoAnns and I fell in love with it as soon as she brought it home and showed it to me. She did such a great job picking it out. Initially I was hesitant she wouldn't get something I liked, but she came through and did it well! The lighting was perfect for these photos! For some reason, we never get good back shots. But this is the back of the shirt, obviously! Sewing th...

Sewing Machine Mavin: Saturday's Market
http://smmavin.blogspot.com/2014/08/saturdays-market.html
My adventure with vintage sewing machines: buying, refurbishing, and selling. Oh, and sewing, of course. Sunday, August 17, 2014. It was a very profitable day in sewing-machine-land. Saturday's are a time to hit the road for Craigslist, garage sales, and don't forget about the thrift shops, too. When all three were done, I had three new-to-me sewing machines that I think are fantastic. Stop number two was supposed. The Kenmore 1980 is one of their best models, much coveted, and this one was is pretty goo...

Oil and Thread: An apron with a gathered ruffle
http://oilandthread.blogspot.com/2014/11/an-apron-with-gathered-ruffle.html
Being a true accompt of the on-going exploits of a self-taught seamster and four iron ladies. Sunday, 30 November 2014. An apron with a gathered ruffle. Dear readers and follows I am sorry not to have written sooner. I really don't know where the time has gone. More responsibility at work plus regular weekend working, a new home with, for the first time, a garden? Big changes seem to have left little time for blogging and. The one other thing I would have done differently in hind sight was to make sure I...

Sunday, July 31, 2016. Black Floral Shirt from McCall's M6044. I made another shirt from McCall's M6044 pattern! We sewed this shirt while Zach finally finished his first shirt (pictures coming soon! So I was constantly stopping to help Zach. It was completely worth it because now I have my boyfriend hooked on sewing. Couples who sew together stay together, haha! The front of the shirt really makes me happy. We bought this fabric on sale for 1.99 a yard. 1.99 a yard! Zach is already onto his second shirt...

Oil and Thread: A onesie for The Much Belovéd: Kwik Sew K3713
http://oilandthread.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-onesie-for-much-beloved-kwik-sew-k3713.html
Being a true accompt of the on-going exploits of a self-taught seamster and four iron ladies. Monday, 20 January 2014. A onesie for The Much Belovéd: Kwik Sew K3713. I thought this pattern might appeal to The Much Belov éd. He seemed genuinely pleased when he first saw it and quite excited when I finally got down to work on it. He tends to run around barefoot quite a. Bit so we agreed on version B the footless sleep suit. Red rag to a bull? The pattern really isn't complicated and the instructions are fi...

Oil and Thread: January 2014
http://oilandthread.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Being a true accompt of the on-going exploits of a self-taught seamster and four iron ladies. Thursday, 30 January 2014. Bonding with Singer 15K80. For a few minutes I even considered throwing in my lot with the 15k80 and selling it. Instead I did some thinking and research and came to the conclusion that my problems were, more than likely, related to bottom tension. And of course there is. A big thank you to Charles Day who submitted these instructions to singersewinginfo.co.uk. Step 5: Using the small ...

Sewing Machine Mavin: Oh Those Kennies!
http://smmavin.blogspot.com/2015/08/oh-those-kennies.html
My adventure with vintage sewing machines: buying, refurbishing, and selling. Oh, and sewing, of course. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. I continue to love the older Kenmore sewing machines and wished more people could see the value in them. But maybe I'm singing to the choir on this one! Here's my adventure this week:. A free Kenmore 158-1430 came my way a few weeks ago because it wouldn't zig zag. It started out at only $10 (or maybe it was $5? Kenmore 158-1430 in cabinet with built in chair (cool, no?

Sewing Machine Mavin: May 2015
http://smmavin.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
My adventure with vintage sewing machines: buying, refurbishing, and selling. Oh, and sewing, of course. Thursday, May 28, 2015. On my big neighborhood garage sale adventure. I bought a Kenmore 158-1320 that was beautiful at one time but was now rusty underneath and looking pretty old:. A bobbin case all rusted into place. She came home with me only because of the lovely lavender color and the general decent shape of the cabinet. How to get rid of that much rust? Testing the stitches with cams. Monday, M...
