Erin replied to the topic Serger Problems! in the forum off topic 8 years ago
I am new to serging. I was recently given an old Simplicity Serger Pro, figured it out, and got active doing projects. My first main project was rolled hem small cloth napkins. I made over 80 before the machine started to slow down and start seizing after I would stop to adjust the material or thread tail. I could loosen it up using the hand…[Read more]

I am rather late to this party..but here is something to consider–
Along with what Liesl said about shoulder width…….
Sometimes when using fabric we’ve repurposed, twists can happen when a new style is cut from an existing garment because the fabric is stretch off-grain from prior wear. It’s not always a bad thing when fairly subtle like you…[Read more] -

I’ve nearly completed the School Days winter coat for my two year old. Only have the optional quilted lining left to do. What a cute coat! I am so pleased because I have very little experience with sewing. I thought I’d bit off more than I could chew with this project, but the pattern was incredibly easy to follow and I learned a lot from making…[Read more]

I’m glad you found one! At this point we don’t have plans to release more men’s patterns, but if the existing patterns sell well I’ll be happy to entertain any suggestions. We need to be able to justify the cost and time to develop a pattern, and men’s/boy’s patterns just don’t sell very well. We do them occasionally anyway, but I think men’s…[Read more]

In case anyone else is looking I found a pattern on Jalie. I love the metro shirt package here at Olive and S and am looking forward to making those into hoodies for my crew for Christmas.

Hi~
I wonder if any of you have ideas for me. I am sewing for two petite men and am really coming up short when i look for patterns for them. I just spent many hours trying to make a thread theory pattern work. Sadly after 3-4 revisions my son tried on the pair of shorts that I had finished, they looked really nice off, and they looked funky.…[Read more]

@rose1234 How exciting, congratulations! I know it’s not a dress, but I had so (sew?!) much fun making the Lullaby Layette pattern for my daughters. I’d highly recommend it for a satisfying make, and a gorgeous pattern for babies. you can really personalise it too.
I haven’t sewn since moving house at the beginning of September. I do have a…[Read more]

Does anyone offer tutorials on this pattern, I am still fairly new to sewing and used to pdf that have tons of tutorial pictures and for some reason I keep rereading the instructions and I an unable to wrap my head around sorry , the fb…[Read more]
