sewing advice

Hi everyone, I’m Daniela and for today's video I was in the mood for some sewing machine I’ve been self-teaching me how to sew and I was inspired by a top I saw on a Vintage style shop to try and make something similar The top is this one, it has what I think Isa fake button placket, some lace details, and a pretty gathered waist I will leave a link to the shop in the description box bellow, but this top is out of stock at least for now.

As for fabric, I didn’t have anything as pretty as the one on the source image, so I went with a cotton white bed sheet from ikea I went into this project as a sewing exercise, so I also didn’t want to waste a more expensive fabric on this So here’s how I made the pattern.

I measured myself around the torso and figured that a square piece of fabric with about 39 cm would be enough, you’ll see later that I actually ended up tightening a bit   Added a seam allowance And also added darts to the sides, about 10 cm under the neckline and I made them 8 cm deep I know it's kinda hard but, try to figure out if the top will fit over your head, otherwise, you may need to add a zipper so it can open up a bit more I traced all of these measurements onto some tissue paper first and pined it to two layers of fabric, right sides facing, and cut it Before removing the paper I used chalk to mark the placement of the darts After cutting I pressed the darts with the iron, and pinned them in place on both sides Then I just sewed them with a straight stitch, which is also the only type of stitch this machine does, unless you use a special zig-zag attachment which I don’t really like, it's kind of fiddly So that’s why you’ll see that I didn’t make any stitch to keep the ends from fraying.

Next, I ironed the darts to make them nice and sharp.

For the fake button placket, I cut a strip of fabric with the same height of the torso piece and about 6 cm in width, adding seam allowance Then, I Ironed it folding the edges inside,like this.

And pinned it to the center of the main piece.

Then sewed it close to the edges on both sides Then, I placed the back piece, right sides facing, on top of the front piece and pinned the sides You can’t really tell on this shot but,I didn’t account for the loss of height from the darts, so the bottom doesn’t quite match, but that worked out fine since I had cut the fabric longer than what I needed, so just bear that in mind when you're making yours Again I sewed it on both sides.

Halfway through my bobbin thread ended so I wasn't actually sewing anything but if you by any chance wanna know how these types of machines wind bobbins, a treadle machine, this is how I do it First, obviously, I take the bobbin out and place it in the winder which is this section right here then I untighten this piece, I think its called stop motion screw maybe this will stop the motion of the sewing needle so the thread doesn't get all tangled up wrap the thread around the bobbin and put it through this piece at the bottom this will give tension to the thread now I just pedal while pressing this, I don't know, latch and that is it Once the machine was loaded and ready to work,I continued sewing the other side as well.

Remember when I told I ended up tightening a bit, this is what I meant, I tried it on and tightened it about 2 cm, also rounding up slightly towards the neckline,to fit a bit better.

Then I trimmed the excess fabric and pressed the seams.

While I was at it, I also double folded and pressed the hem for the neckline.

For the straps, I measured and cut 2 strips with about 2 x 37 cm adding extra for seam allowance.

Then folded and ironed it before sewing machine the sides on both strips.

I used a loop turned to turn the loops inside out.

Best Sewing Machine Advice

hi there Stuart from fabric mouse we're here today talking about pressure adjustors which is something you would have found on your granny's old singer and its the little dial here you could push up and down to change the amount of pressure that you're putting on your fabric it's a thing that has pretty much disappeared on sewing machines largely now due to some machines going electronic and having electronic adjusters just some having a spring inside.

 which will compensate for 80% of the of the fabric on a new machine this is what I'm looking out this is the Janome 725 here we've still got a proper pressure adjuster and as you can see what it is here is we can change the pressure on that spring which will change the exact amount of pressure we'll put in on the fabric we are multi brand we sell everything but it seems to be if we look across the machines that we have that comes on the feature we've got the Janome 725 the Janome dks range the genome m-series range and Janome Atelier is here the pressure adjuster when you get to your professional range of machines you've got this huge one here and it even shows you a little window exactly where your pressure is knowing how crucial it is here for people that want a professional finish so the reason why it's so important as as you have multiple layers of fabric around your foot what we can do is we can slacken it off and it just takes that pressure off and it lets the fabric get through underneath your foot alternately if you're using something silky or really fine fabric on your dress making instead of the machines are detecting and doing it automatically you can actually say now I am using the silk I want to control it you can tighten it right off grip that fabric and pull it through without you having to push it through yourself and that's the main feature of it we're going to create a link that will list all the machines on our website that have that feature if you are a dressmaker definitely consider a machine where you can control yourself if you're wanting to go college to a course you're going to learn a lot more about a machine and machine handling if you have a mechanical pressure adjuster thanks Stuart from fabric mouse see you soon.
