At the end of last month, daughter L asked me if I could widen the neckline on the baby onesie pictured above. I can only hand sew using a basic back stitch or do some hemming as required as I never bothered learning how to use a sewing machine. I found this video on YouTube showing how to fix a small neckline and decided to try this method.
As you can see in the 2nd photo I was able to widen the neckline. It gave me a real sense of accomplishment. It took under an hour from conception to finish. The fun was in figuring out what to do. I still have no desire to learn how to use a sewing machine, not being the most mechanical person.
Good job! My Singer (from Ingo!) sits here unused...
ReplyDeleteYou did very well, Kristine!!
ReplyDeleteIt used to be my dream to design and make clothes (I did quite a bit).
When I had the luxury and bought a good sewing machine, my dreams changed and I don't have any time for that anymore!!
You nailed that neckline fix.
ReplyDeleteCute onesie!
Great job! It was probably easier to do it by hand even if you had a sewing machine. ❤️
ReplyDeleteThat was a very rewarding outcome and a very cute onesie. Well done Christine! I don’t have a sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteThere’s something especially satisfying about solving a practical problem with your own hands, and it looks like your creativity and perseverance paid off beautifully
ReplyDeleteawesome! it feels good accomplishing a task and learning something new. I love hand sewing too-my Mom was a master seamstress so I was taught how to use the sewing machine very young-never became as good as Mom was-I prefer hand stitching or now they call it slow stitching
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! Awesome to see the result!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! You are so talented in many ways! All the best to your creativity!
ReplyDeleteChristine que lindo o trabalho uma fofura, passando pra desejar uma ótima semana bjs.
ReplyDeleteI took Home Economics in 7th grade and learned how to use a sewing machine. However, I have since forgotten how to thread it, so gave it to Maria. Good job on the onesie.
ReplyDeleteGood job..

ReplyDeleteAww wow, great job on the onesie, it looks nice and cute!
ReplyDeleteSame here, I used to hand sew simple dresses for my daughter when she was a toddler, I was kind of afraid that use a sewing machine!
You did a marvelous job, Christine!

Beautiful job, Christine. I love ❤️ it.
ReplyDeleteSewing by hand is quite the skill.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with your capabilities. I'm a basic 'hand stitcher' too. My MIL was a professional seamstress and she tried many times to teach me how to use a machine, but the skill just wasn't in me!
