Nothing like a quick project to clear your mind af Nothing like a quick project to clear your mind after a longer one. The vinyl on my #VintageSinger’s seat was pretty worn out, so it seemed like a good time for a refresh.
It’s not perfect, but it is done! I could not ha It’s not perfect, but it is done! I could not have done it without my tough-as-nails #VintageSinger 301, but also @therealcraftsy has a must-watch class by Cherie Killilea about slipcovering chairs. I especially love her method for #sewing mitered skirt panels with no topstitching that looks hard, but is really easy to #sew. Now, what do I do with the other almost-12 yards I have of this fabric?
This is a feature I wish were more common on #sewi This is a feature I wish were more common on #sewing machines. The needle plate for my #VintageSinger has little hash marks that show the distance to the needle, not just in the horizontal direction, but in the vertical, too. It makes pivoting at corners a breeze! #sew
September is a great time for new beginnings! Yest September is a great time for new beginnings! Yesterday, we celebrated my darling niece’s birthday. Today, @lisacneel and I are celebrating the business we dreamed up - Twins N Needles! It’s hard to believe it’s been two years. 2020 has definitely thrown us some curve balls, but we are still excited to help people grow their #sewing skills or just enjoy their next wonderful project a little more. #sew #twinsnneedlesevents

Finally got my slipcover all cut and pinned. Man! Finally got my slipcover all cut and pinned. Man! Trying to keep in mind that I’ve never done this before. It’s taking a lot longer than I thought it would - but that’s normal when you #sew something new-to-you, right?

I can definitely see room for improvement, but for I can definitely see room for improvement, but for my first recovering/piped seams/upholstery fabric #sewing project, I think this is off to a good start. I got the fabric on Facebook Marketplace. I hadn’t done that before, but one of my sewing students LOVES it, so I thought, why not? Got an entire roll of the red fabric for $50. I’m excited about moving on to the main slipcover. I thought the cushion would be the easy part, but the curvy seams were a challenge! Hopefully the rest of the project is a little easier. My mom rocked me in this little chair when I was a baby. It’s been mine since I bought my first home in 2004. In that time, it’s been through three moves and four cats, so it needed a little love!
