Sewing Bird, or how to stitch mostly one handed!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 тра 2022
- I spent the first 4 months of 2022, unable to securely hold anything in my left hand. This led to my seeking out a way to keep stitching despite that! Follow along with me as we look at a couple of options, including making a sewing bird to act as a third hand!
Materials Required
2 ½” clamp
Scrap Yarn
6” diameter circle of quilt batting
7” diameter circle of muslin
Needle
Scissors
Strong thread (I used cotton quilting thread)
2 felt pads the size of clamp surfaces

Thank you so much for supporting my channel! - Навчання та стиль
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I hope you heal soon.
Pretty neat! Best wishes in the healing of your left hand!
Oh, your poor arm.
But I am so grateful for this video. Dealing with some repetitive stress injury in my main hand so gripping the cloth and needle is challenging. Why didn't I think to get my sewing bird out?
Love your solution.
Thank you for this video! ❤
I had never heard of a sewing bird, how very interesting!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️🩹
I love my sewing bird but your DIY one is so ingenious!
This is a fabulous video Lisa. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us😍. I hope your arm heals quickly.
❤️❤️❤️

Thanks, I only have 1 hand. I am seamstress
Would have liked to see how you tightened the clamp onto your table. Did you just use your hand to squeeze down on the padded ball? Or did you need a pliers or something to grab it tight enough to turn and secure it? Also how do you "pin the item to the ball" so that it holds adequately?
I just hand tightened the clamp, by holding the padded ball with one hand and tightening the turn screw on the bottom with my other hand.
To pin it to the ball, I simply use a safety pin or straight pin and pin through my project into the padded ball.
