One doesnāt even require a Sewing machine ā
Well this is a pretty exciting collaboration. Iāve been sewing for decades, so I donāt need this, but I want to encourage anyone to take the leap. If for no other reason than the recycling/upcycling/money saving possibilities of knowing how to sew.
I grew up sewing on my mamaās old Singer. Her family was filled with quilters. I made clothes for my barbie dolls. 13 years ago a daughter talked me into making a quilt for her son. Aww, so cute. I can do one, right? But ā¦ now she is on her 7th child and I am behind one quilt already. Ha. Gotta get back to it.
I also need to shorten a really cool dress and donāt want to lose the fabric at the bottom ā¦ But thatās another story / project.
I recently aquired a machine from the 1940s that Iām nearly finished restoring. Itll be my first foray into sewing but im super excited to try it out!
The news of this collaboration is wonderful.I have some basic sewing knowledge. Iāve known Burdaās magazines since I was little, my aunt often used it to make many dresses. I have also bought Burda Style magazines many times and Iāve tried to sew the simplest clothes, but since I havenāt attended a sewing course, I still have several doubts and a lot to learn.
Wow this is a cool deal. I started to sew in 4-h. When i was 15 yrs old on my moms old machine. I currently have two machines one was my aunts its a old hard cover machine which i need to get it serviced and a brother digital machine I need to get back into sewingā¦ i honestly havenāt sewn since making my boys their rag quilts 5 yrs ago so this would be exciting and fun! Id love to make my own clothes again.
Congrats to @Ribblr on the partnership!!
I hand sew plushies, I started a bit over 10yrs ago, but I havent done much in a while.
Ever since I was little I had wanted to sew clothes (for my dolls) but I have never done a garment (even though I have a sewing machine!!!)
I had sewn when i was younger, but always had help on those. I ended up sewing a gown for a ball i had attended, with my grandmother! I however am usually lost when sewing on my own and would love to learn more! I believe it is becoming a lost skill, and something that needs to be taught once again.
I remember using patterns from burda, to create my own clothes, when I was younger. I havenāt done it in a while, but I would like to start sewing again.
