Hand Sew

En The Blog el 2009.01.24

In case you are wondering this is supposed to be a Kokeshi doll? I did it last night. Didn't took that long to make. While making the pattern I thought the size would be ok but when I was done sewing I noticed it came out too thin. This seems to happen quite frequently to me when doing new patters. Good thing is that now I know that I need more space and that I don't have to fill it out that much inside. It is always good to have something to do instead of been online all the time. Kokeshi:...

LShave publicó una foto: I've become quite handy during my time here in El Salvador. I've learned to wash clothes by hand, how to bake in an oven which has no temperature control, how to safely hang hammocks, how to sleep in a hammock, how to cook in a kitchen whose two major appliances are a fire and a dull knife, how to eat spaghetti with tortillas, how to keep 12-year-old computers alive and running, how to get into a vehicle regardless of how many people are already in it, and how to...

En WHO INVENTED IT? el 2008.05.10

Austrian tailor, Josef Madersperger made several attempts at inventing a machine for sewing and was issued a patent in 1814. All of his attempts were considered unsuccessful. In 1804, a French patent was granted to Thomas Stone and James Henderson for "a machine that emulated hand sewing." That same year a patent was granted to Scott John Duncan for an "embroidery machine with multiple needles." Both inventions failed and were soon forgotten by the public. In 1818, the first American sewing machine was...

Well my blog posts seem to becoming few and far between... sorry about that for anyone who may have wondered where I'd got to: I'm still here! It's been a fairly busy week, what with family visits (which have been great!) and trips down to the post-office to send my goodies to their new homes, my shop is getting emptyier by the day (so much for my determined attempt to restock ;P). But, I do just about have two new Militario tops ready to list (just need to hand-sew the strips and buttons onto the 2nd one...

Español: Hola colegas, bípedos y cuadrúpedos. Yo sigo rengueando, y mis patas me duelen. Pero el domingo noche iba a más y la jefa se mosqueo. Cuando estábamos en el parque en nuestro paseo de tarde, otro bípedo me estuvo mirando las patas, y le dijo a la jefa que tenia en las dos de adelante unas bolas de pelos entre mis almohadillas que me tenía que cortar. Que quizás eso no me estaba ayudando para caminar mejor. Como a mi no me gusta que me peinen ni me corten el pelo, a la jefa le cuesta mucho meterme...

Making Headway Sometimes (just sometimes), what counts is not what's in your head; it's what's on your head. So we asked pixie milliner Eugenia Kim to help us craft our very own hat. She took a page from her new DIY book, Saturday Night Hat: Quick, Easy Hatmaking for the Downtown Girl. You'll need: ½ yard fabric ½ yard lining Scissors Something to sew with An iron 1) Print out template and lay it on the fabric; cut out six pieces. 2) Pin two pieces of fabric together; sew them along the side edge with a...

En Can't you just fix me el 2006.06.13

So, where did the title of my blog come from? Was it from a profound moment of epiphany? Or some kind of realization as to who it is I am? Well, not really. I got the idea from the lyrics of The Perfect Fit by The Dresden Dolls. On the whole, I consider myself a good-for-nothing and a deadbeat in general, so when I heard this song for the first time, it felt as though it was written for people like me. And I also figured that maybe there'd be people on this wide 'Net interested in reading the thoughts of a...

Once you've made your patterns, copy them onto the fabric, remeber you have to make two pieces for each pattern 2 for the body and 2 for the head. Sewing If you don't have a sewing machine (better yet, sewing cotton with sewing machines is hell), handsew with small stitches (backstitch style), to have a almost perfect sawing, put your pieces together and fix them with pins, then mark the fabric with an outline so that you have a guide to follow, start to saw Sew the body, starting by the shoulders, then...
