Operation: Elna Supermatic – pattern scissors cloth
https://patternscissorscloth.com/2016/12/15/operation-elna-supermatic
Tricks of the Trade. I’ve had my Mum’s 1955 Elna Supermatic. For a long time now, and I know I’ll always keep it. Mum bought it when she was at teachers college, and it was the machine my sister and I learnt to sew on. It hasn’t worked for several years. The first problem was that the coupling knob on the flywheel was stuck and would not disengage to wind the bobbin. You could still wind a bobbin – but only in sewing mode with the needle still going up and down! My utilitarian no-frills Yakumo. Where I d...

Kit’s Playsuit- Keeper Dolly Duds 19 | sewbeading
https://sewbeading.wordpress.com/2016/12/29/kits-playsuit-keeper-dolly-duds-19
Adventures in Sewing and Beading. Kit’s Playsuit- Keeper Dolly Duds 19. The front waistband required some thought as to how the pieces went together. The other part that required some thought was inserting the elastic. In the end, I decided that the elastic was not to go to the edge of the back pant pattern piece as that folds over for a facing for the buttons. This entry was posted on December 29, 2016, in Sewing.

Brocade Doily | sewbeading
https://sewbeading.wordpress.com/2016/11/04/brocade-doily
Adventures in Sewing and Beading. Here is the latest doily that I made. This one is from Coats and Clarks #197 “Priscilla Doilies”. I made Brocade #A-792. It was originally published in 1969. The pattern wasn’t really hard to follow. There were a couple of rows that reading the directions didn’t make sense. So I would start out the row and then compare what I was doing to the picture included in the book. The picture was detailed enough that you could see what the pattern was. This is it not starched.

http://elle-joans.blogspot.com/2016_08_01_archive.html
UNDERWIRES - BONING - CASINGS. Friday, 19 August 2016. Stretch Satin Kits Now Available. Atin has a slight stretch in one direction, no give in the other direction and is. It is best suited to patterns without stretch, like the Marlborough or Boylston, but will need to use sheer cup lining with this fabric. KITS AS PHOTOGRAPHED BELOW - available until sold as limited stocks of main fabric. If you are wanting kits without lace, extra picot elastic will be added for edging of cups.

Elle-Joan's: Stunning Stretch Satin Success Stories!
http://elle-joans.blogspot.com/2016/08/stunning-stretch-satin-success-stories.html
UNDERWIRES - BONING - CASINGS. Saturday, 13 August 2016. Stunning Stretch Satin Success Stories! In her own words -. I found the fabric good to sew with but did notice that it frayed more than the duoplex so it will be interesting to see what happens after a few washes. I do feel that the duoplex is the better fabric. The third photo shows that I have lined the bra although I do not. Have all my seams enclosed but they are all topstitched on the cup pieces. The final finished bra - it looks just gorgeous!

Tree circle skirt | sewbeading
https://sewbeading.wordpress.com/2016/12/12/tree-circle-skirt
Adventures in Sewing and Beading. My parents got a new slim tall Christmas tree this year. The old tree skirt was just too big (even after taking and trimming it with scissors). No stores really seem to sell small (like 36 inches or 30 inch diameter) skirts. So the Christmas tree got a simple full circle skirt with lace and fleece backing.

Grace’s New Outfit- Simplicity 8282 | sewbeading
https://sewbeading.wordpress.com/2017/01/09/graces-new-outfit-simplicity-8282
Adventures in Sewing and Beading. Grace’s New Outfit- Simplicity 8282. I picked this pattern and several of the other American Girl patterns from Simplicity in early December. Honestly, the teal dress on the pattern enveloped just jumped out as one to make for Grace. I stitched the sleeve lining to the sleeve at the hem then pressed and top-stitched. I put the sleeve into the dress bodice in the flat and used my serger to finish the seam allowance. Next, I closed up the side seams and serged....Kit’...
