Don’t get us wrong. We love our quilters and interior decorators. The more fabric stores in town, the better. But sometimes you need to make a costume for your son, a wedding dress for your niece or a good-fitting pair of pants for yourself.
Check out some of our wonderful FREE patterns!
We are thankful for the skills we have earned and that we can share with you. #tailoring
We are so thankful for our wonderful students and fantastic teachers. Thank you for helping us #staystrong #stayhealthy #staycreative #sewsafely ♥️ 💪🧵
Art of tailoring #zenofsewing
Waiting for the turkey to bake? Let’s padstitch the lapel of a tailored jacket. Wax your thread (see yesterday’s IG post). Roll lapel over your index finger (to shape and to make sure stitches don’t go all the way through). Overlap stitches to anchor (don't make spitty knots at beginning or ending). Stitch chevrons parallel to the roll line. Want more? Britta’s #tailoring class starts in January👆🏼

🧵Enjoy the process!

Let’s get ready to hand sew. Pull thread off your bobbin (so it won’t twist while sewing). To the elbow and back (that’s long enough). Wax (to smooth & make it stiff) and press between paper towels (so you don’t get wax on your press mat). Sharpen in your strawberry (emory is there). Let’s sew!
