All about digital alterations of PDF sewing patterns for projector sewing! I use Inkscape and Gimp currently and may add more software as I go along.
General sewing, serging and coverstitching, threading of sewing machines and sergers, projector specific sewing, video editing, Inkscape and GIMP tutorials can happen without any schedule even while I'd love to make one each week ;)

How to put needle thread in a sewing machine: complete guide
Learn how to thread the sewing machine with confidence, from the first time and without any "but why?.." moments. My machine is Janome Dresscode, but they aren't much different as far as the needle thread is concerned (it's more complicated for the bobbin (bottom) thread.
In this tutorial I'm showing in detail how to use the needle threader, how to handle thread (you might call it cotton but these days it's mostly polyester), step by step, and in less than 7 minutes.
If you still haven't managed to learn after this tutorial, tell me about it :) Also tell me if you do.

How to clean and oil an overlock (serger) machine | Juki 654de
Переглядів 1,9 тис.9 місяців тому
Cleaning of sewing tech is necessary, a bit dusty, but can also be very rewarding. I use Juki mo654DE overlocker (serger) to demonstrate brushing, vacuuming and oiling. Cleaning is an essential part of the maintenance process, and you should never oil a dirty machine as this will do more harm than good. Overlock machines create a lot of lint with every stitch, and that's fine. Just clean them o...
Full bicep adjustment (for a sewing pattern) in Inkscape
Переглядів 19911 місяців тому
Full bicep adjustment was planned for a while, but it's actually really simple. Well, it is simple if you don't need to change the sleeve cap length, so the part 2 for more complicated cases is eventually coming.

Dividing curved seams | Inkscape for (projector) sewing patterns
Переглядів 126Рік тому
'Divide the opening into fourths and pin...' is a common instruction in sewing, and most of the time 4 is generous, and you need 8, and that's a lot of folding and matching. Even worse if you have to match something unstretched, like a neckline, to something stretched, like a band or elastic. This tutorial will get you covered! A little, since I show the technique on an underwear pattern, but i...
Warm and cozy split collar neck with buttons: how to draft and make
Переглядів 87Рік тому
I just love warm cozy collars but overheat easily, so having a fastener is always welcome. This collar is very easy to draft in FreeCAD, even if you opened it for the first time, and requires minimal polishing in Inkscape (I turn the pattern piece to have the vertical grainline). *Written instructions* In technical terms, we generate a truncated Cone in Part workbench of FreeCAD, then move to M...
Easily stunning overlapped collar! Inkscape drafting (and sewing)
Переглядів 162Рік тому
This is my new favourite warm collar: cozy, hugging but not tight, not hard to pull over the head, doesn't require any fasteners. The one in the thumbnail is sewn into quite wide opening, so still on the floppier side, but the red one I sew in the end of the video is more snug. You will need to add both width and the depth to the neckline to use this collar, don't try it with the standard crew ...
Inkscape 1.3 is awesome on so many layers

Quick hack! Get the whole sewing pattern piece | Inkscape tips
Переглядів 233Рік тому
This is quick, a bit dirty but effective technique for getting full pattern shapes out of many broken paths. Of course it works with some files but not with others. Despite not the most precise results, I often use it myself.

Trace a sewing pattern with Inkscape | Easy and precise
Переглядів 1,1 тис.Рік тому
Trace sewing patterns in Inkscape precisely and quickly with Bezier curves. Suitable for raster or vector sources (or even vectorize from paper, if you project Inkscape over the paper), use it for size blending, pattern adjustments, historical sewing patterns and more. Tracing is rather fast and gets easier with right technique, and that's what I'm showing today. Important points I may have not...
Adjust seam allowance in Inkscape (for sewing patterns)
Переглядів 409Рік тому
Ever wondered how to adjust seam allowance for some parts of PDF sewing patterns but not others, of course digitally, we don't need pencils where we are going? ;) In this video I import a pattern into Inkscape and reduce seam allowance in most parts but keep an original ones elsewhere. You can use the same method to add more seam allowance Pattern used: Free Fingerless Gloves by Patterns for Pi...
Pro tips for threading! Juki MO-654DE serger/overlock machine

Is it hard to thread the overlocker (serger) machine? Depends on who you ask but I don't think so. It's a lot of motions and a lot of threads compared to the sewing machine but nothing too complex.

To Say Nothing of the Pockets: Adding necessities to a skirt
Переглядів 2952 роки тому
This video is both a status report (you might not know this but I'm Ukrainian living in Ukraine. I'm fine, thank you :) ) and a sewing/Inkscape tutorial. I'm limited in my resources, no sewing machines around, so it's a handsewing project, adding gathered patch pockets with bound openings to an existing skirt. I explain making the pattern on fabric and the sewing process, and then show how to d...

Full tummy adjustment is used to add more room in the front of the pants (trousers), dress or a skirt. I'm working with Douglas Pants by Mood Fabrics here.
