Learning Your new Sewing Machine that has Embroidery Stitches

Image
  I have a number of old sewing machines that have embroidery stitches.  They were new in 1996. I learned everything by doing. Get out your manual and a look at what needle they tell you to use for embroidery stitching.  Get the kind of thread they tell you to use.  Thread your machine the way the manual tells you. Be sure to put on the right foot on your machine, because you don't want to hit the sides of your presser foot.  It needs to be the one you use for zigzag sewing, so that there is room for your needle to go back and forth, the hole is a slot not just a round hole.  Not a zipper foot.   Your manual will tell you which to put on. Get a piece of batting, and two pieces of fabric. Practice using all of your stitches. This is how I made these holiday hot pads, or centerpieces, or wall hangings, or door designs for in the center of wreaths, whatever you want to call them.

Hats...Theme Baseball Hats-Bucket Hats- Dramatic Hats

  Bear Hunting Hat and Old Car Hat and Camo Personal Hat By the way, I have no idea what I am doing....I made a cover for the hats and then did whatever.   Combo Sewing and Gluing. I started to sew on the inside of the caps to finish them but I worried that the edge would feel uncomfortable, so I got some permanent fabric glue to glue the inside edges with some topstitching. I am adding a Moose to the camo Hunting Hat Not perfect but good enough for hunting or hanging on a display hatrack These were all a learning experience I put too thick a stabilizer in the bucket. Maybe a grandchild will get it.  I would need to make it bigger and less stabilizer as I wanted to make it reversible. I need to do the finishing touches so I can go back to finishing the tummy time sloths minky throw.

Light Airy and Comfortable with Scraps

Image
  I found this piece of black double gauze in G Streets 'Treasure Hunt Room'   I do love that room.  So I folded it over cut a hole in the center of the fold and made a baggy top, there was enough scrap left to add a littl piece on the end of the make shift sleeves that were wide from the fabric width and I added some scrap white to the top and sleeves and bottom.  I decided to add some Eyelet to the edges for a little fancier beach comfy top. The pants are just thick cotton that are baggy with a drawstring and elastic at the waist, pockets and the bottom folded up and over and then top stitched like a cuff. Fast fun and ready for vacation.
