I don't sew much anymore, but I needed something at work to hide my unwashed hair, so I bought this gorgeous fabric I've been coveting (I work at a sewing store):

I cut it into a square and tied it around my head rockabilly style. It looks great, but it will look better once it's hemmed, so I'm gonna wash it and square it. I'm whip-stitching the edges so that they don't fray in the washing machine. This is my first time folding over the fabric to whip-stitch for washing: half the sewing!

This is also my first time trying Gütermann's hand quilting thread, in my continuing quest to find thread that won't tangle when hand sewing. So far it's pretty good!

Notes:

This is actually the scrap I cut off in order to square the piece I used as a bandana. I'm practising on this so that I don't mess up the good piece.

Fabric is Hamil Textiles #24471. My boss says it's 100% cotton but it feels like it has rayon in it.

Thread is Gütermann Quilting, 100% cotton, Col. 5114 (we don't stock a quilting thread that actually matches the blue in the fabric).

In case you're wondering: I don't own a sewing machine because I prefer to sew by hand.

class 6 language rage incident: people misspelling Gütermann as Gutterman

for fuck's sake if you are touting it as the best sewing thread (and I agree, it's great), why on earth aren't you able to spell it properly? i don't fault people for not knowing that if you can't type ü you can also spell it with ue but how the fuck do you arrive at Gutterman? that's 3 mistakes in a 9 letter word

In regards of machine sewing

Sewing doesn't always go smoothly and for those who are starting I would like to gently remind them the following decalogue in regards of machine sewing for dolls, when the device doesn't seem to work properly:

How old is the needle? Replace it if you haven't done so in a while as an unsharpened needle will tend to "push" rather than pass through the fabric.

Is the tension right? Both from the needle tension and the bobbin tension. Use scrap fabric to test. Neither the stitches from top or bottom should be too tight or too loose, doesn't matter if one of the sides "looks right", because that means those stitches are weak. If there is too much tension, the fabric will ruffle as it is being sewn.

Does the machine have lint in it? It can cause malfunction and even staining of the thread and fabric if it is mixed with the machine oil.

Is the machine properly oiled? If it seems to make much more noise than usual or doesn't run as smoothly, remember to oil it or to bring it somewhere they can do it for you.

Does your fabric get pulled down into the bobbin housing? This can be due to several reasons: First one the bobbin having too much tension, second one the fabric being too thin or fraying, which might cause it to be pushed down into the bobbin howsing and getting caught in the pieces. You might need to tend to the tension, the way you have secured the fabric edges and the kind of fabric/way of sewing that fabric you employ.

Do the piece's edges get frayed while sewing? You might need to secure them with some white glue or zig-zag stitching them on the edge. Adding more seam allowance is also an option and can be later cut shorter and sergered properly once the garment is done or mostly done.

Are you sewing on a stable surface? Some cheaper domestic machines tend to "jump" or "shake" a little bit when sewing and this will affect the way the bobbin remains, on top of affecting the precission of your sewing. Place the sewing machine atop of a thick fabric like a folded towel and try again.

Is it hard to maneuver when sewing? Reduce the size of your stitches. Sewing for dolls oftentimes require thin fabrics that don't end up with bulky seams once the piece is done so you should use thinner stitches to give it stability, resistance and to help them look more polished. On top of that, thinner stitches allow you to move forward much less and to do small details with precission, turning and moving the small cut pieces more precisely than longer stitches that progress on big jumps.

The machine doesn't sew a specific fabric right! Consider changing the needle for a thinner/thicker one depending on the characteristics of the fabric and take into account that there are specific kinds of needles for stretch fabrics, jean fabric and such. In the case of stretch fabrics, try not to pull the fabric while sewing and use a stretch stitch (eg. for domestic sewing machines: an almost-straight zig zag stitch).

The thread breaks constantly! This could be due to the thread being unfit for that project be it because it is poor quality (I recommend investing on Gütermann threads in black and white at least-I prefer cotton ones in case I want to dye the piece later), unfit thickness (if it is hard to thread your needle, you might need to use a thinner thread because that thread can be so thick it gets cut with the movement and the friction; too thin and poor quality threads tend to be brittle), or unfit for that purpose (think about things like using serger thread or embroidiery thread for it). Special threads like those with metallic sheen can be very brittle as well and should be employed carefully. If it can't be sewn with a sewing machine you can always do it by hand.

Wish me luck yall, I’m trying to put together a corset by hand in time for renfaire next saturday. I’ve got darts to sew and ten gussets to set and eyelets and—

My fabric for this is a cream-colored cotton sateen (think nice cotton sheets) with a white, tightly-woven muslin lining (it’s lightweight but very sturdy). The boning channels will be cotton twill tape.

I’m using two kinds of silk thread for the stitching, both in a matching cream—Gütermann, a German brand, which is a lower quality, less shiny thread for the basting; and Kinkame, a Japanese brand that is much stronger and shinier for the final seams. I’m using cream thread for the basting/thread-marking because I don’t want to bother ripping out the basting at the end, so this way it won’t be noticeable even if the stitches peek out on the outside.

For the eyelets and flossing, I have buttonhole twist in blush pink and creamsicle orange, but I’ll probably stick to the pink for this.

How’s the shirt coming along today? I’m enjoying the adventure with you. :)

I've got thread! I have a feeling I've been using cotton thread until now and the Gütermann is polyester so probs gonna use the big one for now. I'll find out later.

Thing is, Thea (my youngest) isn't well so I'm on the sofa with her atm, curled up without my sewing. :( I'm hoping she perks up a bit (espesh since I'm dozing too).

If I miss out on sewing tonight (I might wrap everything tonight in my room so I can be on the same floor as the girls), I think I'll be doing a mega sesh Saturday day to finish this. I'm hoping to get further though tonight. I tend not to sew when the girls are awake because of the sharp pins, sharp needles, the iron being on, scissors... The fun things under tens shouldn't play with. XD

Oh yeah! Got a seam ripper too. XD

Now I feel all ✨fancy✨
