I finally figured out how to use the automatic threader on my teaching sewing machines!
What a life saver, now that my eyes suddenly decided to act my age...

The trick to working the automatic threader on this sewing machine, is to
- lay the thread from left to right under the large hook,
- then continue it under the hook/slit at the needle,
- then hold it taut and
- slowly lift the threader.

(The last part kept confusing me because it’s different from my standard machine’s threader.)

3 easy steps to Sewing Perfect Invisble zippers 🌈

1) Prepare your invisible zipper by pressing the coil open using an iron on LOW heat

2) Use a presser foot especially for sewing invisible zippers

3) Place the zipper teeth right side down EXACTLY on the seam line (you can mark it with a disappering pen or basting stithces) and sew slowly!

The trick to aperfect invisible zipper is to sew precisely in the groove next to the zipper teeth. These tips help you do just that!

What is your favorite zipper installation tip?

I don’t even want to know how many hours of my life I have spent looking for missing pattern pieces. But it’s a lot!
Well, I am trying to never having to do that again by upping my sewing pattern storage game a little bit.

I use cardboard folders and tape the first page of the instructions to the front. Just remember to add ALL the pattern pieces to the folder, and Then it should be easy to find them every time!

How do you store your patterns? #SewingLife #mariadenmark #sewingroomorganization #sewingroom #SewingPattern #sewingstorage

Mending is not just reparing holes and tears. It’s also refreshing and taking care of garments, so that they will last longer.
That can mean airing, steaming, or in this case: shaving!

Knits pill, and the softer they are, the more they pill. This cashmere sweater is a lovely thrift store find, but it does look a little bit sad. Out comes the fabric shaver, and it’ll look great again!

Go on. Pick a fabric from your stash (or 2?) that has been marinating for more than a year.!
What do you pick? ❤️❤️

And how are your Sew-Resolutions going? I am already a little behind. And just chose my February fabrics for my “Sew-TWo-Stash-fabrics-A-Month-Challenge”.
I am going with two slightly basic fabrics: A black corduroy -from where or when I have no idea - for a Paula Skirt (I have been wanting to update the patters - so this is a perfect excuse), and a perfect blue rayon twill that I am going to use for a new Solitude blouse.

Two weeks to get them done... WillI make it?

Muslin fitting tip - that has nothing to do with fitting and everything to do with being human: Mark your muslins before you put them away: Write the name&number of the pattern, the size and maybe even the date on a piece of paper that you pin or sew to the muslin - or write it on the muslin itself.
Because. You will at some point forget what this muslin was for. (Ask me how I know...)

My favorite way to cut slippery fabric: Using a rotary cutter. ✂

Using pattern weights instead of many pins and just gliding the blade aling the edge of the sewing pattern piece, is so precise and fast.
It’s perfect for thin and slippery fabrics like many jerseys and blouse fabrics.
You should always use a rotary cutter with a mat.

Hi! My name is Maria and I have a confession to make:

I don’t always-always iron my fabric before I cut it. I should, but I don’t always.
I tend to skip on the ironing if the fabric is thick, if it’s super thin and crepe-y and sometimes with soft knits, when I doen’t think it’s necessary.

It does make a difference to how precise you can cut, though, so I definetely recommend that you ALWAYS always do it....

Here are some fabric-ironing tips:
1) Check and double check the temperature of the iron vs fabric-content. Start low (1 * - 2 **) and go up if, and only if, the fabric doesn’t react to the low heat. Test by ironing in a corner of the fabric first. Same goes with adding steam.

2) When using a standard-size ironing board, fold the fabric in half along the grain-line and iron each side seperately. Don’t iron the fold, so that you set it, but iron close to it.

3) Allow the fabric to cool before you move it. Otherwise it will only get crinkled again.

Suitcase Clothes: Running - well flying! - through the Second Week of Me-Made-May!

Running around Copenhagen meeting friends, and finally flying back home to New Jersey. So still suitcase clothes - and then relaxation:

✨Tuesday: Meeting firends after dinner: Top: Boatneck tee from Sewing Life 3 (Sewn in 2019), pants: the black thrifted skinny jeans, thrifted trench

✨ Wednesday: Meeting my classmates from middle school! Outfit repeat from last week: Top: The 100 Freja-top (also free SL00 - might re-publish soon) as a top (Sewn in 2017!) + skinny thrifted jeans

(Skipped Thursday, don’t remember what I wore)

✨ Friday: At the airport: Another Boatneck tee from Sewing Life 3 (Sewn in 2019. Thrifted Jeans and PINK belt )

✨ Weekend: Happy to be home - wearing workout pants and oversize Tees (SL3)

Looking forward to a new week wearing stuff NOT from my suitcase....

Which Stitch Where?
3-Thread Narrow Overlock Stitch

A 3-thread overlock stitch is a stitch you sew on your overlocker/serger, where you only (as the name implies) use 3 threads (2 loopers and 1 needle).
The stitch is narrow because you are using the right side needle.

I typically suse the 3-thread narrow overlock stitch when finishing the edges of seam allowances in blouses or other garments in thinner fabrics, that have a 1 cm/ 3/8” seam allowance.
I have also used it sewing seams in very thin and spindly wool jersey, where this was the only seam I could get the tension right with.

The reason for the using 3 threads instead of 4, is that it creates less bulk in the seam compared to the 4 thread.

To create a 3-threaded Overlock stitch on your overlocker/serger, simply remove the left needle and thread. And remember to do a test on a scrap before you start sewing the actual fabric!

Which Stitch Where? Ladder stitches:

Putting my handsewing skills to good use this morning!
Our guest-puppy Oreo is a 90 lb silly boy. He loves toys and playing tug and fetch (something Ginny, our sweet rescue girl, never learned).

So now several toys have ripped seams. Even this super sturdy one that we originally got in a gift bag from @thehungryhound

But it’s an easy fix: 4 strands of thread in the needle and ladder stitches like so: Stitch just within the seam allowance from right to left. Put needle on opposite site, right across from where the thread came out, take a good 5 mm stich towards the left, needle out, across to other side etc.. Pull thread to close the hole, secure stitch.

(It’s a little difficult to see in this fleece. But it’s really easy to do!)

📍 Pinning fabric can be time-consuming, but it’s not always necessary!

💡 If the fabric is not slippery, try pinning only a few crucial points, like where notches or seams need to match up perfectly. Use your fingers to hold the fabric in place instead. You’ll save time and effort while still achieving a beautiful result.👌

When was the last time you cleaned your sewing machine?
🧹🧹

If you can’t remember or it was more than three months ago, it is probably time for a spring cleaning now!
A clean machine is a happy machine (and a machine that sews smoother, too!).
📍6 steps to clean machien hapiness (no more dust bunnies inside the sewing machine:) 📍
1) Get your tools: Screwdriver, brush, vacuum cleaner attachment (optional, but a game changer!)
2) Remove the needle plate using the screwdriver and/or a coin. Also remove the bobbin case. It can be helpful to take pictures before and after you remove anything, so that you have a reference point.
3) Clean with the brush (wipe it on a scrap of fabric between brushes)
4) Use the vacuum atttachment to get all teh dust out
5) Re-assemeble (if your machine is of the type that needs oil (Chek the MANUAL!) do that first)
6) Enjoy your clean smorth-going sewing machine!
