    Off topic...does anyone know where I can buy the industrial strength clear grip adhesive that you find on the inside of non slip socks on the back of ankle? I'm not referring to the clear stretch ribbon used on necklines or to hand garments on hangers that you sew on. Fashion tape is temporary, i want to be able to wash but not dry garment. The kind at the fabric store needs to be seen on. Thanks.

    How about up cycling fabric and using dead stock as much as possible? Taking a thrift store garment made of beautiful fabric and remaking it to suit yourself? I have found so many different fabric at thrift stores, it’s pretty cool. Linen sheets or curtains, full lengths of Pendleton wool for five bucks. Men’s dress shirts are usually made with better quality fabric and can be used for different projects. I get the larger sizes for more useful fabric, same thing with denim, lots of different and types. I made my granddaughter a sundress with white bell bottom jeans from one leg of material. Put tye dye godets in the bottom. So cute!

    • @StylesInSeams
      @StylesInSeams Місяць тому

      Yes, sewing more sustainably is a super worthy goal! I do try to use dead stock as much as possible, use every scrap of my remnants and upcycle what I can find. I just turned an old skirt into a top > instagram.com/p/C6hIJhUxFLa/ But I have sooo much fabric in my stash to get through (video coming soon) so my most sustainable choice is to stop buying altogether!

    • @StylesInSeams
      @StylesInSeams Місяць тому

      Aww you can do it! I honestly have fear creep in before I do almost every project (including posting this video!) With sewing, I find the best way around fear is to make something very familiar to me in a different way. So a pattern I've used before with a different fabric. Or, a fabric I'm comfortable with just one new technique. Little wins!

    I got my industrial sewing machine for $100 at Walmart of all places. My husband and I were checking out and the teller saw that I had a sewing magazine among my purchases and asked if we would be interested in buying his industrial machine and told us how much he wanted it, and then showed us a picture he had of it on his phone. We said yes right away. So the next day, he was not working, so we picked it up. He and my husband had to carry it down three flights of stairs. Luckily we only had only 3 steps to get into our house. Its pretty heavy. Its not new, but not really old either and is in mint condition. He gave us the attachments and a bunch of leather too. Its a Reliable. I have no idea whether its considered a good machine or a cheap one, but I'm happy with it. Especially since we werent even looking for one at a time. My husband just likes to buy me vintage sewing machines at auctions and things like that, because he gets them for next to nothing, so he couldnt resist. Its great for the bag making business i started up though.

    • @StylesInSeams
      @StylesInSeams Місяць тому

      $100?!? That's a crazy deal! I've never heard of a Reliable machine but if it's anything like my Juki those 3 flights of stairs must have been back breaking. Good luck with the bag making business!

    ok, I'm back. I love that you are exploring more skin baring styles and I wholeheartedly support the goal of sewing a bias garment. You can do it!! Remember, you will be constrained by the width of your fabric so as long as you can almost spread your fabric out flat (I think your cutting table is pretty large, right?) you will be fine. I bet you will really love sewing bias garments! I am always interested in hearing more about your digital pattern drafting journey.

    • @StylesInSeams
      @StylesInSeams Місяць тому

      welcome back! i just made a backless dress and put a bias on my list! My table is only 42 inches wide so I suspect I might have to cut on the floor? But I think I'm going to start with making a bias cut top before I move on to a full dress. There are some small cuts of silk that need to be made into lovely tops before year's end!

    Robyn, I enjoyed your video sew much! I just heard about Frocktails a few hours ago and was looking around on the internet to see what it was all about. I came across your video and you gave me a huge insight to what is all about! I have a school for fashion sewing in NC and had an event I put on for 7 years, growing to 450 attendees in the last year, and yes I burnt myself out! Its been 5 years of rest from that now and oh my..you have inspired me to maybe do a Frocktails in NC. But first I can't wait to attend the NYC one. (Darn I will be in NYC mid May , but can come back in October!) I was checking out the Chicago one too. What a great idea this whole event is. I just loved how you put this video together and especially the photos of the talented party goers and really loved hearing your goals for the next events. Good luck with your ventures (let me know if I can help from NC) and I will be sure to support you on your membership!
