yes.... lol

Thrift stores have been good for me, too. Auxiliary stores, those attached to a senior center (their sewing or quilting groups often donate straight to the store), or ones with an estate sale division have been good. I also hit up the annual sewing and quilting show where I can discover which small shops supply what and which have online sales. Local quilt guilds usually have a sale section at their quilt shows, for members to destash and earn a little money for the guild. It’s a great way to find buttons and notions especially.

How do you get the pattern into the fabric? I’m new to embroidery and so far have only bought kits, but after buying a $140 Jacobean crewelwork kit I’m realizing I need to just be using patterns lol

super cute

Currently trying to make a doll sized version of this dress. It’s proving a challenge 😅

Someone should have told you sooner 😔

I do sew with vintage patterns 🙌 & I just listed some 60’s, 70’s & 80’s bundle lots over on EBay and Poshmark. They are smaller sized lots though-let me know if you need a bigger size Bianca and I will mail you some buddy 💕

Love it! The doll fabric and ombre contrast are so fun! I enjoy watching people like SewRena on here making vintage patterns and such, but I'm still a beginner, and haven't sewed any garments yet. Just watched a version of The Sound of Music last night, and now want to make a pinafore apron, which I'm (maybe falsely) telling myself would be a good beginner project.

What a great idea! It looks great on you even with haunted doll fabric lol. I like the contrast too

Exciting News! 🎊 Congrats on your New Dream Job

I am confused about bia's tape step

this appeared in my shorts feed and it warmed my heart ^^ there's something so nice about seeing tiny snippets of someone's life out there in the world

Congratulations!!

Congrats!! (ALWAYS suck up to the crafties!)

Velvet!! I’m shuttering for you!! Congratulations on doing the thing and kicking ass!!!

Ohh no velvet helll! 🤯 Good job!

Congrats on the new job!!!

The other thing about thread is that when a seam is INSIDE the garment, if the fabric is decently opaque the thread color of the thread does not matter. So if you know you're going to have some topstitching that you really want to be the perfect matching thread, and you don't have much of the perfect matching color ... do the inside construction seams with thread left over from another project and save the perfect matching color for the topstitching.

This is genius. Caddies are awesome

Side quest!! I love it. I’ll still get distracted but It’s worth a try lol

Congratulations! I’m sure it will great!

Вы не ищите легких путей❤🙏

I’d like to put it here in case anyone’s curious, here’s my list of the craft thrift stores in Texas (that I’m aware of): Austin Creative Reuse (Austin… duh) Spare Parts Center for Creative Reuse (San Antonio) Thistle Creative Reuse (Denton) Texas Art Asylum (Houston) I’ve only been to the Austin and Houston ones but I’m so in love with craft thrift stores and wanted to spread the word!

Contrasting thread is fabulous. It can replace different types of trim on garments, adding a decorative touch without extra work.

Thanks for sharing your tips! Thrift stores are my go-to. Different ones put crafty and sewing stuff in different areas, so I usually look around the whole store. Library book sales can be a good place for books on crafting or inspiration. Hoping to get to Legacy soon--it would be a fun day trip for us: I need some creative inspo and items to reuse/repurpose an old baby quilt top my paternal grandma made when I was a baby, and it would hopefully inspire my daughter to restart a hobby.

Thank you for telling me about The Legacy! I stopped by their last month when I was on vacation and loved it! I had serious stimulation overload and couldn't focus on trims but I had a wonderful time digging all the leather scraps!❤

Wawak has a Canadian site! I asked for things from there for my birthday! It’s wonderful! I’ve had good luck over the years at thrift stores. Material, notions, patterns and books. I try to avoid my local store because I have a problem staying on target! When I do hit my local fabric store I try to pick up a big spool of black and white thread. If I want a matching thread I can usually get into look at thread without looking at a fabric…. Some times the marked down area or sales get me thought. My stash keeps growing as I’ve found some really nice fabric at the thrift store lately!

Sometimes I have had luck with shopping the home decor section at thrift stores with a mind to reuse. Curtains and bedlinens can be repurposed into yardage for garments. Once I found a set of 5 silk satin window draperies for $10.

Wawak is fantastic.

I love your blouse. I have wanted to try bobbin lace for decades, but it always looked so complicated. Your title attracted me to this video. Thank you for making bobbin lace look so accessible!

Omg I have to make one.

I have been thinking of trying this for a while. Well done you!

Great video! Thanks for this!

I agree about not romanticising the past. Every time my mother tries to tell someone I was born in the wrong century, I flat out tell her and whoever she tried to tell, "No, thank you, I prefer corrective eyewear, birth control and some modicum of bodily autonomy, please." She just rolls her eyes.

I don't know if you'll see this since this is a two year old video, but I taught History of Clothing for many years and although I didn't have the power to change the name of the class, I told my students that it was history of western clothing. As I see it, there are a couple of issues, one being that in the structure of one 3-unit course, it's not possible to teach the entire history of fashion, including western and non-western fashion. I could barely cover my material as it was. The other issue, which absolutely needs to be addressed is focusing on the primacy of western fashion. There could be different ways to do this, one being splitting history of fashion into two or three classes, so that nobody is trying to cover dress from all cultures from ancient history to modern day in one 3-unit class. I think this would be best, rather than separating western fashion and non-western fashion into different classes. What I tried to do in my class, even though it focused on western fashion, was to show how western fashion was shaped and influenced by other cultures and also the affect of western imperialism (and also somewhat more benign trade and travel) had on non-western dress; in other words, to show the connections between non-western dress and western dress, of which there were and are so many. I also showed cultural appropriation and talked about what it meant. So even though the class focused on western fashion, I showed that it didn't exist in a vacuum. I also assigned research papers on non-western dress, so that my students could spend some time focusing on some aspect of it. Was it enough? Of course not. But at least it was a step in the right direction, and as much as I had power to do in the structure in which I was working.

Yes to "your favorite Darcy" not being a debatable point!! My favorite movie is The Crow. Yes it's not good. No I don't care. It's MY favorite lol

P&P has been a syllabus staple for English teenagers for generations, and that's the perfect time to start learning that people and relationships are complex. Time is an illusion. Probably. Don't do the calculations.

14:23 is a perfect example of how the 2005 film was so amazing at composing scenes. I don't know if it's considered cinematography, but so many of the scenes look like they came straight out of paintings

Matthew Macfadyen will always be my favorite Darcy. I was just at the right age to fall in love with him when the 2005 film came out! Seeing him in Succession gave me some serious whiplash 😅 Colin Firth will always be Mr. Mark Darcy from Bridget Jones for me. He had this iconic line: "I like you. Exactly as you are." And that line will always make me swoon 😄

I’m so excited for this!!!!!

That's my fav series! :>

Free patern???? Were can i find that?? ? Love to read❤

Hi there! Im tempted to buy it but afraid it wont cover what i need in particular, like does it also shows patterns for denim shorts and how to make them baggy (like jorts) or something like that? Im focused on avant-garde/streetwear garments. Thank you in advance :)

Hell yeah ❤

cool story sis

I’m jealous! That looks like an awesome place!

Okay so 10th kingdom was by far my favourite movie as a child I just didn’t understand why I liked Virginia so much… after coming out I get it 😂😂

Lame
