thanks Lucky :)

it’s T-shirt material

The best thing about home made is it can be made to fit the body shape for the intended person of fashion.

that’s why I wanted to sew again, but this one is just a basic T-shirt pattern. Once I get more confident I am going to try and make more fitted stuff.

very swish – but oh the plunging neckline woh!!
the fabric looks steely – hangon – its a bluegreen colour isn’t it ?

You know, I have never threaded a sowing machine in my life……. never been interested in doing so either.

My wool I am using is this one HP….

The most wonderful thing is each different colour wool makes all socks so different.

I’d was going to be knitting your sleeves of the cardy…just too hot for 12 ply wool. So I am waiting for the cooler weather to arrive.

I’ve kept all the little knits i made for my two. I offered them to a niece but she wasn’t interested. They all want things they can throw in the washing machine these days.

I’ll have to try and take some photos of my cross stitch tomorrow.

You clever little pixie Bluegreen. I am about to bring my sewing machine back into action too. (if it’s not rusty) Got a friend who’s about to have a baby so I thought I’d do a wall hanging for the baby’s room.

It’s been sooooooooooooo long.

So did I BG. I seldom bought any clothes for the family and that included mens trousers and sons school shorts etc. I still have cupboards full to the brim withof material that I have never used. Something else to fill me with guilt. I have to try and get past these guilt trips.

just ribbing you – no its a really brilliant home made garment – there should be more of it.
now all you need is a bit of writing on the back – ‘heavy metal’ or some such saying.

I’ve never used a sewing machine. And even calculators were rare at school while I was there. Personal computers were still a couple of years off….

i have heard of ribbing – although not in t-shirts – so your partially right – its terrible when your best jokes are accidental – sob.

The promised cross-stitches. Some are awaiting framing and 19yo son’s birth sampler still doesn’t have this name and birthdate.

Thanks, she loves them and will leave them in Burra at her house, for when she’s staying in there and its freezing cold.

Yesterday I sister (who is very crafty) gave me a candle wicking pillow she made herself. It sits on our bed and I love it.

Yeah he asked about a jumper in wool and I said…. 2 months to knit and $100 for the wool…labour free….. he can buy a woolen one already knitted in the shops for $60.0….. he’s going with that.

Not sure if it was the 2 month wait or the $100 and then waiting 2 months that changed his mind….LOL

I gotta garden to grow as well….so 2 months was the time frame I gave him.

Now the hot weather is gone, tonight I’ll cast on the sleeve for your cardy.

there is no praise high enough for such skill
BTW – do you use three needles at once to knit socks? dumb question but in the dim recesses of my memory i seem to remember mum knitting with 3 needles at once.

pepper said:

Yes they are called “Double Point Needles” or DPNS for short. Most of mine are done with stitches on 3 DPNs and then the 4th needle is used to knit from one needle to the next.

http://myknittingbox.blogspot.com/2008/07/knitting-for-world-vision.html

Thing is they are going to be too big for a child’s hand….sigh

So tonight I’ll start again and knit this hat and I hope to do 3 for the children.

http://www.guardianpharmacies.com.au/new_angel_08.cfm

I have to have them to a lady at the knitting forum I’m a member of by 15th August.

3 hats ready to be posted for the little children overseas for their up coming winter, through…..world vision.

I am knitting this for a swap over on a knitting forum/

Its called “Cats Paw” and its an old Shetland pattern

Finished these off this afternoon, while the elf slept.

Knitted this up this afternoon and glued on a little embroidered rose. Its now got a shirt hanging on it in my closest.

A friend is a first time granny…. knitted these up for her granddaughter who weighed just over 6lbs.

Thanks…. she loves to make a mess in my kitchen (hot breakfasts) before she goes to work and leaves the mess for elf & I to clean up.

So I thought… for a lark…. I’d give her some dishcloths as a house warming pressie:D

They are lovely. I don’t see knitted booties being used much these days. Maybe that’s because I’m in Q.

One thing about not getting out in the garden with my stupid leg…. I’m getting some knitting done and items finished.

Baby coat …4 ply and for sale…..

I am with you about being stuck in the house, except I can’t do much :(

I really have been doing something, even though I haven’t had time for the forum lately…

This saga is not yet finished… I wanted to make bigger wreaths, but the ones I ordered from the US disappeared into Quarantine and I suspect won’t be coming back out. This little one I found at the local op shop, and I’d already bought the air plants (expensive!! o.O), so thought I’d make myself a little wreath.

My mum’s since managed to find some twig wreaths in an almost-local store, so I’ll go and pick up two more to make up as Christmas presents.

Oh I should also say… I found the idea in “An Hour in the Garden” by Meredith Kirton – would never think of such a crafty thing by myself :D

I like :)

should be plenty of wreaths becoming available in stores this time of year.

Oh they are lovely Bon:D

What a great idea. My sister loves air plants has has a lot.

Thanks bg and Lucky :) I like “An Hour in the Garden” – nice little projects that don’t intimidate me :)

I love homemade stuff… eats & non eating stuff…….. because the stuff (love that word) comes from their heart of someone …. we often know:) Makes it priceless in my books.

Very nice Bon, unusual :)

I have been thinking about this for awhile now and I’d like to ask some sewing ladies here……. for a first timer…what sort of sewing machine should I buy????

I want it for making t-shits… small items…baby clothes when the grandkids arrive……alos what sort of $$$ will I be looking at.?

Lucky1 said:

I want it for making t-shits

on “talk-like-a-pirate-day” you’d be adding an “Rrrrrr” to that comment me guess?

I know I’m not a sewing lady, but I will start the discussion off with… back in my Home Ec days, the teacher taught us to use the old zig-zag stitch to hem off on t-shirt (optional r) material, but if you’re gonna get serious with making baby clothes and stuff, then I’d look at getting an overlocker thingo…

and a lot of machines nowadays have the button hole and pattern thingo going, so I’d aim at one of those…

and buy a machine with a reputable name… if it looks plastic and has a name like “Sinder” instead of “Singer” then chances are its a cheap import from SE-Asia. Don’t buy it from Cunnos, go to Spotlight or similar.

I bought a Brother machine on special from Spotlight for $359..got all the stiches and whatnot. It will do me for mending and making things for years to come. Of course theres way more exp machines but I just wanted a basic machine. But for T shirts and stretchy materials, you can’t go past an overlocker..lerve mine.

I have a Husqvarna. It is 26 years old and still going strong. It seems most new machines sold these days are more for craft work – embroidery & such and probably outside your price range anyway, so I would be looking for a reliable 2nd hand machine. If you want to do T-shirts etc. then you need to make sure it has a stretch stitch so that the seams give with the fabric. I have also recently acquired an overlocker but not done much with that as yet. These will do professional type seams using 3 or 4 threads and will trim and overlock your seam as you sew but not any use for just basic stitching so I wouldn’t recommend getting one to start with. You will be able to do everything an overlocker does with a basic machine but just not as fast, and more that an overlocker can’t do. It might be worth while getting in contact with a sewing machine service technician. They would be able to advise you on which are the better machines and maybe able to source a good 2nd hand machine for you. You should be able to find one in the yellow pages or by asking at a sewing sales centre. You will find that once you get going you will be able to do so many things that will save money. Repairs, making shopping bags etc. as well as making your own clothes. Fabric can be expensive these days but I find that I am getting good stuff on ebay as people clean out their cupboards. Problem is I am collecting fabric faster than I am sewing it!

OK. You can still get basic machines at a reasonable price.

I still reckon that you get an overlocker as a second machine, not as your only machine.

I was thinking of doing what i always do when buying something new.

I make a list of what I want to do with the said item and then visit a couple of places. I was thinking of Spotlight & Lincraft.

Not getting an over locker……..just a sewing machine.

Lucky
A sewing machine :) I love sewing machines :) I love sewing :-)

First, do not buy a Singer. My experience with the modern ones – load of … Mine almost went through the window several times.

Second, rather than go to Spotlight; go to a machine store and ask to try them, using the sort of fabrics you want to work with. T-shirt fabric can be painful. I make my own t-shirts and have no problems, but I know a lot of people complain about it. One handy feature is a dual feed, which most reputable brands now have, although called a variety of names. Basically it ensures the top fabric is fed through at the same rate as the bottom fabric.

Third, make a list of everything you want it to do. I would guess that all entry level (reputable brand) machine have straight stitch, zig zag stitch (useful for finishing if you don’t have an overlocker), and buttonhole. They will also have a variety of other stitches which you may or not use (think embellishment on baby clothes).

Fourth, an overlocker is an entirely different critter to a sewing machine. You will still need a sewing machine even if you have an overlocker. An overlocker is wonderful for clothes making, but some seams must be finished with a sewing machine. Again, try one before you decide. My only recommendation – you want a four thread, not a three thread. The fourth thread is a line of straight stitching. If you buy a three thread you then have to sew all your seams on a normal machine.

I have a Pfaff. I love Pfaff. Very reliable, very solid. I test drove a Bernina (embroidery machine – my dream machine) and was very impressed. I know people who love their Janomes, Brothers and Huskies. It’s really very personal.

One thing I really like about the Pfaff – the feet all clip on and off. I noticed a lady at retreat with Janome had to unscrew and screw on her feet. I swap from my quilting foot to my open foot and back again a dozen times in a sewing session. I would hate all that mucking about. If you’re convinced you’re only going to use one foot for the majority of things – it probably wouldn’t be an issue.

I think the biggest thing is to try any machine before you buy it. Find the websites for Brother, Husquavana (sp), Pfaff, Janome (those are the four really reliable brands that come to mind), ring your local dealer and ask if you can have a demo and try out.

my Husqvarna has clip on feet too. If you do buy a new machine you will often get a free lesson as well – make sure you ask. I learnt about sewing stretch materials through “Knitwit” which was a company that has their own shops for just stretch fabric, their own patterns and also ran classes. Unfortunately they have long gone. Once you know about how to sew knits there is a lot of stuff you can make. I don’t know if there is an equivalent to Knitwit these days. I still have the instruction book (and the certificate that says I am a certified knitwit) which I could photocopy for you. It has a lot of the tricks of sewing knit fabrics in it.

This is the sewing machine I am getting for Christmas….. or as soon as its bought…lol

Just joined a sewing forum too…. the one my sister is on. I rang her…just to make sure it was okay…as she’s been there since the beginning of the year……didn’t want to step onto her turf without checking.

Spent a day with our niece Heather making her an apron. Heather picked out all the material for it.

I’m getting very clever in my sewing room. This cushion was for a swap i did. I had almost 2 months to make it and opening day as 1st of July. This went to a lady in the eastern states.

I am making one in light beige/ green/yellow colours for our lounge. Plan to make one for my sister Deb & her daughter Jo in their fav colours.

that is absolutely lovely Lucky, you are coming along in leaps and bounds with your sewing, and obviously enjoying yourself too :)

I am making one in light beige/ green/yellow colours for our lounge. Plan to make one for my sister Deb & her daughter Jo in their fav colours.

So pretty ! Love the colours Lucky :D

Thanks….. not gardening but what the hell……..

What a pretty cushion cover, Lucky! No wonder we haven’t heard from you much – you’ve been creating masterpieces!

Yeah… elf lays down in the afternoon and so I sneak off to my sewing room and stay there into the late afternoon.

I made this one for our lounge room.

Oh thats gorgeous Lucky :D
Making any to sell at the craft stall ?
I’d buy that.

In laymans terms..
If the instructions are in a purchased book , no matter who purchased it, you can make whatever item you like in whatever colour you like and as many as you like. And sell them.
It’s no different to me buying a knitting pattern and giving it to you, so you can make a cardigan I can then buy off you.

You’re welcome! I forgot to add.. when you buy an instruction book, you are purchasing the right to make what’s in it, and do with it as you please. You would be very surprised to find a clause in an instruction book that stated ‘the items you make are not to be sold on’. You wouldn’t buy it of course.

In the latest Homemade magazine (for crafty folks) I had a photo and my letter published:D

So stoked to think my sewing and letter was worthy of a spot in their magazine.

one of my Sydney friends is coming to visit in a couple of weeks, and she has offered to give me a lesson on using the overlocker I picked up from freecycle ages ago, but haven’t had a chance to use yet :)

Foundation piecing.

Building a 4.5 inch block with 2 different fabrics.

I’m making this quilt with 5 other ladies. So I have lots of helpers teach me how to do each block…over 100 of them.

We are looking at about 3 years from start to finish.

I’m also doing a quilt with my sister Deb…(sheep manure supplier) called Breast of Friends. The money raised through out it this year goes towards breast cancer.

Buy the Homespun magazine for the latest block and so much goes towards breast cancer research. Buy the kit and material (that was donated) $$$$ goes to BC Research as well. Even the designers donated their $$$ they were paid to come up with the blocks went to BC Research.

This is what 1 of the 9 blocks looks like. I’m doing mine in greens, lemons & browns…Deb in the colours in the pic as she’s a fan of those colours.

Deb & I think these quilts will be lovely to leave to our 2 girls. When we croak it:)

GF helped make a quilt up in PNG for Chesire Homes, a charity foundation for Disable kids in PNG. The quilt was made by at least 30 quilters and it was big enough to drape over a King Sized bed…

Yes. We are each making this quilt in our own colour ways. We run through how to make the block and go home and do it there. If we have problems, we contact each other about the said problem.

Oh for sure. So now my days are spent house work morning (not started yet….been bloging and stuff) and gardening/sewing afternoons.

Works for me.

I made this bag the other day for a Christmas present. Just need to sew one together for Almost Mrs. Bimbo. Very addictive to make and will make a few more yet. Though I will change from embroidery to applique flowers on the front.

It can be for what ever you want PM.

Soaps, makeup, coffee mug bag….anything.

Thought I’d show you what I have been up too and why so quiet here.

The embroidery was sent from my place back at the beginning of the year. Each month it went to a new lady and she embroidered some flowers onto my block and also sewed a 6 inch block of material for me, I am going to make this into a cushion for my bed.It arrived home last week. I too was embroidering 11 other ladies sets as well.

I joined in on the sewing forum with an advent swap. My swapper doesn’t post here, so I can show you her Christmas Day present. Each day the people who joined the swap get to open a little gift their swap partner sent them. I made lots of little things and also sent some items in the sewing range for a couple of $$ each.

The pink cushion is for a Kris Kingle we are doing in our sewing group on Tuesdays.

This cushion will go flat to our craft forum moderator for the 2010 birthday club. If I sent something I have made in for this one, I’ll get a present on my birthday from the box of birthday gifts the girls have sent it. This just needs an insert by the birthday girl.

This cushion is for our friend’s daughter who is cat crazy.:D My kind of person…lol

I have been working on it this afternoon.

Over the coming months, each month a different lady will sew a boarder around my centre piece.I won’t see the end result until Dec.

I’ll look forward to seeing the finished medallion.

This is what is keeping me busy.

Bimbo wants 36 of them made to be tied at the pews in the church in a bow.

Think 3 a day will be my quota, my back is feeling it today. Its satin material and I have to stitch a seam all the way round. Very fiddle as the fabric moves so easy.

You guys get to see it but no one but you lot know about it. Keep count on Face Book, for Amy’s benefit. So sshhhhh!!!…LOL

I don’t want family to know I made them until they wedding is over with,.

Hope you’re getting a lot of Brownie Points for all that work, Lucky!

no, it is so I can use it to wipe my mucky hands on! Thee gave me a few towels so now I know it works I will probably make a couple more.

Good dress saver…I should wear mine more often (gazes sorrowfully at gym outfit that has food stains from who knows when, that won’t wash out with each wash..)

yes. I only have the one apron and even then don’t always use it. So I am going to try to get into the habit of it. I find Eucalyptus oil on the greasy stains before you wash helps.

These stains are so old, BlueGreen, I really only remember what one of them is (avocado)…the rest I will probably just take SARD soap to over the weekend, they do look grubby…

I have about a dozen half aprons. I went through a phase of apron making too but I never wear them. I also used to make the old fashioned calico full ones with fabric painted motif, for a store in the town where we lived. Gee they sold well and I was a super Mum at that time.
