Two of my favorite students @maxmagpie and Helio, began their journey working with store bought patterns. When buying a Pattern, easy to understand, instruction is key. Merchant and Mills does an excellent job with explaining how to build their garments. They are the best in the business. “We love you Merchant and Mills”. @merchantandmills #merchantandmills #8limbssewingschool

Making clothing is not always as simple as the pattern companies advertise, however, with patience and practice sewing does become easier. #simpletomake #practiceandpatience

Sally made the finest spaghetti 🍝 strap in the history of 8 Limbs. She is the title holder. 🏆 it was made on a serger setting the lower loopers to 8 tension and decreasing length. The trick was pulling it though with a needle and sewing a 3/16 seam allowance. Sally you’re the kween! 🙏💕❤️🏆🏆🏆⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #spaghettistrap #sewingqueen #whoisshe #amazingtalent (at 8-Limbs)

Izzy is working on a button down men’s shirt with business collar. He made the pattern at 8 Limbs last week and today he made excellent progress with building his first sample. Dress shirts are great projects for intermediate sewing. Buttonholes, interfacing, collars, cuffs, and sleeves. This dark floral will be a success. Stay tuned for photos of the finished project . . . #dressshirtformen #sewingmenswear #moodyflorals #patternmaking #sewingat8limbs #8limbssewingschool (at Los Angeles, California)

Good scissors ✂️ are everything. We never cut paper with our good fabric shears. This keeps the fabric scissors in the best sharp condition for being used on fabric. Synthetic fibers do dull your scissors faster than cutting natural fibers. Good scissors should remain in your family and be passed down generation to generation. I have some beautiful scissors of my grandfathers. You deserve the best scissors money can buy. #thequalitywillberembered #scissorsof8limbs #gingherscissors #wissscissors #merchantandmillsscissors #italianscissors #japenesescissors (at Silver Lake, Los Angeles)

Life doesn’t get better then this! Thank you 🙏 to Tiffany and Lauren for their endless amounts of joy, fun energy, and creativity in the process of making cloths. Wow! What a team. #bestfriends #sewingsisters #teamsewing #navyrayon #8limbssewingschool @___tiffanynicole___ @silverlakestitcher ❤️ (sorry I turned off comments on my IG account because it takes too much time to respond, heart, blah blah blah, I’m trying to limit my social media involvement to the bare minimum so I can spend more time sewing #nocomments )
