If she could only sew one thing, Helen would choose: denim! 👖❤️

In this week's episode, we share a bunch of listener answers to the question, "If you could only sew one thing, what would it be?" And, of course, we share our own answers, too! Helen made an excellent choice. Denim is sturdy, but it wears in beautifully. It comes in every shade, but the indigo ones are the best. And it's so satisfying to finish it with beautiful topstitching. Here are some of Helen's denim me-mades: ⁠

👖 A pair of light wash denim #FalconerPants

👖 Dark wash #YantaOveralls

👖 An #AshtonTop mini-dress hack⁠

👖 A patchwork shift dress made from three pairs of Sam's old jeans!⁠

Do you like sewing with denim?⁠

Garment makers: what items of clothing did you start with? I'd like to learn garment sewing and figure I should start with something simple.

Beginner friendly project suggestions welcome! (and I'm already comfortable with my sewing machine.)

Christine Millar (aka Sewstine) is a machine embroidery wizard! 🪄

In this week's episode, we ask her all of our burning machine embroidery questions. How does she design her own embroidery files? How long do the embroideries take? What stabilizer does she use? Does she have to babysit the machine the whole time? She answers them all, plus tells us about costuming events, her fave features of historical costumes, and her path to historical costuming.⁠

Have you ever done machine embroidery?⁠

Wearing Ease vs. Design Ease 📏

Ease is the extra width and length that pattern designers add into their pattern pieces. Wearing ease is the minimum ease that you add so that people can move around in their clothes. Design ease is added just for the look of it! For example, in Helen's most recent design, the #FalconerPants, there is minimum wearing ease from the waist to the hips - then there is design ease added to the legs to create the barrel shape! ⁠

To learn more about ease and how you can make it work for you, listen to this week's episode!⁠

Heck yeah! Final finish of the year, coming in just at the wire!

After knitting a Destination Unknown Cowl for a friend of mine, I decided I needed one for myself. But make it goth. But also Barbie? (A friend of mine would argue and say I made a synthwave cowl, but it's for me and Barbie Goth it is.)

Pattern: Destination Unknown Cowl by Cheryl Faust
Yarn: Wollmeise Pure in Heavy Metal (C1), Wollmeise Twin in Verhext und Verratzt (C2)
Modifications: For all but Chart 4, I worked C1 in stockinette and C2 in garter stitch. I really like the difference from the first Destination Unknown I made (as written).

Blog post: Maybeeee? Not today, but I might write one up in the future. I dunno.

Overall, very pleased with the results, I look forward to wearing it this winter. Now, we have snow coming on Thursday (for a WEEK!) so I need to figure out a hat with the leftovers!

Made a new purse!

Totally fits my vibe :D

Made a handful of small adjustments, mostly the chain and one more row on the top bit. Also the stitch counts of the door in the pattern aren't quite right, need one more SC starting from row 4.

Yarn is Bernat cotton Red Heart Hygge and Soft Solids.
