Now I promise my blog will be full of me made clothes soon, but not until I finish my Ginger Jeans. In the meantime I keep stumbling upon all of this cool stuff I just can't keep to myself! Well, actually I found the story about Lillian Weber in the embroidery business trade magazine, Stitches I subscribe to. So I was "working" at the time. It's not like I spend all my time online looking at nifty sewing blogs, sites, stories and YouTube videos!
I wasn't going to get a Hump Jumper and figured if I needed something I would use folded denim or cardboard as others have mentioned. But after seeing this I think I just might, only because I love this "vintage" video.
I only wish I had the confidence to post stuff of me back in the 80's. Ha! How about you? Do you put it all out there so to speak? Well, some of you were children or not even born yet but I graduated high school in 1980 and was still fighting my curly hair back then. Some days I won. Other days, especially if I was near the ocean...well, those are the days I wouldn't want documented on today's social media sites, which is why I get to approve all postings to my timeline on Facebook. I have way too many generous friends from high school who love posting old pics, bless their sweet hearts! Of course some I allow because they are just too fun. Others should be burned. Sooooo happy my mother isn't on Facebook. I've seen what parents post of their kids!
Til later,
Susan
Hello and welcome to the sisterhood of blogging and sewing! I had to chuckle at your post...and I completely understand about friends &/or family posting those pics that we want to forget. But, I have a few of my children that I threaten to post if something shows up no matter where! I posted a throw back Thus photo of me back when my Home Ec had a fashion show of our outfits we made.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing your jeans. I have been looking at this pattern for awhile, and on the fence about sewing jeans.
Thank you! I looked at your TBT photo. Cute!!! And what a great outfit! I sewed a sundress in high school Home Ec but never hemmed it for some reason. I was pretty proud of that dress up to that point. I'm not sure what happened. There are some pics from high school I allow, but others, nope! :)
DeleteYou should do the jeans & follow Heather's sewalong posts when you do. She's so detailed!
Heyyyyy! Here's a diy cutting table idea http://closetcasefiles.com/sewing-cutting-table-diy/
ReplyDeleteHey hey Miss Faye! I LOVE that one! That's perfect. I'm going to have to measure & see if it will fit in my sewing room. The hubster is really handy so I'm sure he'd love to help me build this on his upcoming Christmas vacation. :) I need to go check out the other one. Thanks for sharing!!!

ReplyDeleteOh yes...I've seen these before. Definitely much easier than Heather's gorgeous version. If I don't have the space for Heather's, this might be a great option as long as it's high enough. I think I saw a lot of them on Pinterest. Of course the closest IKEA is over an hour and a half away. I should convince the hubster that he needs something in Denver! :)
