Sewing

Anyone on here crafty? Love making bags at the moment

Yes custard,I made all the dresses for my daughters,made Wedding cakes,made my own clothes many years ago.All the family bring clothes that need repairing & I enjoy it.What kind of bags are you making ?

Yes custard,I've knit jumpers crocheted christening gowns,made my
Daughters wedding cake,birthday cakes,and paint in oils..I love anything
that involves using my hands..I too would love to know what type of bag
you're making.

Me to custard.... I was going mention the two ladies above also Kevan, model railways, cordy line, woodworking. I enjoy knitting, sewing, greetings card making and anything I am pretty sure I can achieve successfully.

I love sewing but have given it up because every time I start to use it ,it
goes haywire,my S.I.L could use it,no problem,I even get shocks on
escalator hand rails,got shocks from nylon clothes when I was nursing,had
shocks from cookers..I used to love my old little Singer sewing machine,I of
course had none of that.

Yes. Not so much now as I used too. I made all my daughter's clothes and knitwear when they were young. Not good enough when they discovered designer clothes though 😂😂😂
Like Nanajacqui, I still do alterations and repairs. I even had to put a new zip into a side panel for a gazebo last year 😂

Custard,we're all dying to know what type of bag you're making.

Dont keep us in suspence custard .

momac I remember well the static shocks when making beds. They were shocking

Beryl's,there used to sparks flying through the air when we took the old
folks underwear off,I used to get some awful shocks from the bed rails..and
nobody would come near me for five or ten minutes after.

Car door handles are the ones that get to me now, have to use a bit of cloth to hold on. Glad it's not as bad as yours

Sorry.forgot about this thread.
I have made quite a few tote shopping bags..Also I,very made a couple of 3 pocket bags by Debbie shore.
A couple of drestes for my grandaughter and hair bows.
Plus a quilt made out of home made jelly rolls
Only been sewing for a few months but love it.

I used to love creating stuff. Not so much now. But enjoy what you are creating, custard, it gives a lot of satisfaction.👍🏼

It does Jathbee...I love it...
When I have time to look how to post pics again..I.ll post a few. .

You do that. I would like to see what you create

Thankyou..

Nice to see nasty jathbee crawling.

Says the nasty person, who with the rest of the cowardly gang, put poor custard through the eye of a needle.

Looked at photobucket and you now have to pay..
Any links anywhere to put pics on here free?
Thanks in advance.

Ps..Thanks Nana. .

So ITS JULIE now

Basil..Thanks alot for your concern but I have met nana and she wasn't sure if it was me who was posting..
Now she knows it's me.

Nobody deserves to be treated like that, her and the other keyboard warriors, could have left it but no.

These are why less people are posting.

I understand they were a bit harsh but it's sorted now and I stood my ground until it was sorted out..
Again thankyou and it's fine now.

They was only harsh because they were in a gang and behind a keyboard.

Give it a rest Walshy.

Late tonight, aren't we?????????

Your more forgiving than me, custard.

I'v been having a life.

Try it sometime.

Bin sorting tuther site out

Nah, That place sorts itself out.

Is that's why you spend so much time on here, or does EQ look after it.

Back to topic. Custard. Why don't you do a craft stall and sell your goods.

Good idea

When I improve my sewing skills I have a friend who has her own craft stall..
At the moment I.m just having a bit of fun in my spare time..

Good. Nothing wrong in turning your newly found skills into a little money.

Groveller...

😂 😂 😂

Backtracked again

😴😴😴

I've got a good industrial sewing machine for sale, if anybody's interested. It's a Brother. Like This One.
It's not cheap, laaaaike!

What have you been sewing on that Tonker..

Tonker. It is a very good sewing machine but as you said industrial.
It isn't much use to someone who is creating craft items.
Domestic machines are multi purpose and do far more than lockstitch.
That machine you have for sale is the workhorse of the sewing industry and no fashion, household, car interior etc could be put together without one.
There are a myriad of specialised industrial machines that do a lot of other fancy things but the domestic sewing machine has them all rolled into one.

Yes, we have a programmable one in our blind factory that was very, very expensive. It can do loads of things, but it never does, it only ever makes drapes for vertical blinds!

That one for sale was bought as a spare, but has never been used!

I have a nice electric machine that works for everyone else,but the
minute I use it it goes bananas..same with a few leccy goods....hubby says
I need earthing,I should use a treadle Singer one.

In that case I would still keep the lockstitch as backup, Tonker, it only does one job but is reliable and is very unlikely to let you down.

Sounds like it Momac . Try wearing wellies when you use it.

I used at treadle machine in my very young years in the sewing industry, very hard work when you are sewing all day. Then they electrified them, my what a difference.

I.m only at the beginner stage..
I have a Janome..
Lovely machine and does what I need at the moment..

I USED TO KNIT DINNER TABLECLOTHES 4 YDS LONG BY 3 YDS WIDE IN 60,S CROCHET COTTON THERE WAS 1,4 HUNDRED STITCHES TO A ROW, I ONLY MADE 2 0NE FOR MYSELF AND ONE FOR A VERY SPECIAL WEDDING PRESENT, OTHER DESIGNS I ADE WERE ALWAYS OVER 1,THOUSAND STITCHES ,I USED TO BUT THE PATTERS UP THE ARCADE IN LORD ST SOUTHPORT CANNO REMEMBER ITS NAME, ALSO ONE A SILVER TROPY FOR MOST OUTSTANDIN EXIHIBIT IN KNITTING AT THE HANDYCRAFT SHOW THEY USED TO HAVE IN THE BANDSTAND IN WIGAN PARK I AM TALKING ABOUT 1953/55 CANNOT REMEMBER EXACT DATE, DOES ANYONE MY AGE REMEMBER THE GARDEN SHWS THERE

I remember the garden shows Elizabeth,in 1976 an art teacher put my
painting of Mona Lisa there..I wonder what year they ended.

I made shorts and apron as a kid. I love making purses only made one. My aunt and gram would get us into crafty stuff I know how to graft a tree. I was in 4 h as.a.kid.

Well, I used to have a 4H pencil an' I bet you never!

Tonker!

What?

Weirdo. ..
Forgot how to post pics or I.d retaliate.

I don't know if anyone remembers the Summer shows in Mesnes park, I think they started in the 1950's.
At the time our school was entered in competition in some sections of the show.

Our year was entered into the baking section and my bread rolls got a 1st. because my Baps rose bigger than everyone else's 😂

Haha too much information jath,tickled me that

I'm currently making some trays from old picture frames. Never done this sort of thing before.

Very nice and very inventive too. 👍🏼

Very nice & useful

Clever you,that's very artistic.

I'm sick 🤮 of seeing old bags.

😴😴😴

There everywhere

💩👃🏽👃🏽👃🏽😂😂😂

Custard I've enjoyed reading this thread,most real men are watching football

Indeed Nanajacqui. Still he is an old woman. 👵🏻

What's that phrase that keeps appearing on WW...oh yes...Handbag Queen.

Basil was even swinging his handbag in a sewing thread for the ladies back then.
