I’ve got my bags packed and I am leaving Indonesia today after a very enjoyable but packed workshop. Such a friendly and welcoming bunch of people that I’m sad to go, but I will also be very happy to see Mr Bsag and the cats again.
New post: Self-drafted sleeveless top
My first proper garment using Seamly2D to draft the pattern.
We enjoyed a few drams during a nice whisky tasting session to celebrate Mr Bsag’s birthday (which was earlier in the week) 🥃
I’m having fun with some lovely fabric (bought in Indonesia 2 years ago), and making a simple sleeveless top using a pattern I developed from the sloper I made last weekend.
New post: Feeling the fear and sewing anyway, in which I talk about making a dress from fabric that is important to me for sentimental reasons, and about stretching myself and my sewing abilities.
My newly cleaned up and oiled 1911 Singer 127. She sews like an absolute dream! The wooden base is much newer and just there for convenience to contain oil drips.
Right. I’m going to attempt to make this dress. That page is the pattern and the only instruction. Wish me luck!
Still a bit of work to do, but this lovely old Singer is sewing again!
Just look at these lovely illustrations. The old Singer manuals were very well written and illustrated.
