What's it Worth: Singer Sewing Machines
2009-09-21 23:44:00 Carmen Gutierrez asks about her 1956 Singer Model Sewing Machine. John Walcher explains there are just thousands of old sewing machines on the market:Singer was one of the largest manufacturers of sewing machines and therefore many of them are still readily available. The children's models are more desirable to collectors, especially with the original box. Children typically did not take care of their sewing machines like adults, which cause better condition examples to bring a premium. Overall, there are many factors that will take into account when determining the total value for your piece: the condition, whether or not it has the original case, if it is a table model or built into a sewing stand, etc. The typical range...

Stuff that I can finish sewing in minutes kind. No more bags. :( ?? is very happy because lots of stuff are for her. ;)

new sewing finds
2008-05-18 07:12:00 Guess how I found that awesome neighborhood in Historic Riverside. I was looking for a Singer Sewing shop. And I found it - in a nice lady’s garage in my favorite new neighborhood. I guess she owned a Singer repair and sales shop for a long time and retired, but kept selling from her converted garage, where she has an awesome Gammill long arm machine. It’s a really nice setup. Anyway, she was super helpful. I got a walking foot (finally), extra needles, and the all-important little key to open my bobbin case for cleaning. Her shop was a great find. The next closest Singer shop is over an hour away. They’re both pretty far, but this one is a little closer, and it a much more awesome neighborhood. Then I headed over to Joann’s and found a bunch of cool fabric, fun notions (like denim rivets and fancy buttons) and a ton of good white and black cotton pieces in the remnant bins. Which brings me to my real topic. Budgeting. David and I are going to follow the budg...

How The Sewing Machine Part Changed History
2008-05-10 11:52:00 Sewing has been around for thousands of years in one form or another. Throughout the last millennium, the greatest technological advancements to the sewing machine has been the types of materials that are used to make sewing needles as well as threads. It was not until the nineteenth century, that a working sewing machine was created. To no ones big surprise, it caused an uproar. Unfortunately, in a less than positive way. The Discovery Sewing by hand is almost intuitive. Two separate pieces of cloth, a thread and a needle, the relationship between them is obvious. The movement comes quite naturally of the needle through the cloth and then back again is completed automatically. The difficulty is that the basic movement that is so easy for a person doing it by hand is impossible for the same movement attempted by a machine. It has the ability to force the threaded needle down through the cloth yet it cannot let go of it up again on the other side of the cloth and push it back thro...

Sewing - A Valuable Skill At Any Age
2008-05-07 19:57:00 Many students while taking a home economic course that teaches mostly sewing think it is waste of time. Especially male students, since they get their buttons of their shirts sewed by their sisters or mother, they are not of the mindset that they will ever use this type of skill. But later when they are far from their house perhaps to go to college or for some other reason, they realize the importance of a sewing course and get out a needle and thread and start their sewing. Sewing skills are not just sewing buttons on shirts. It is much more than that. A small tear can ruin a beautiful dress unless it is repaired carefully and quickly. Sewing may be handy too, if a patch is needed on a scout uniform or trim needs to be added on a school costume. There are tailors at the majority of dry cleaning outlets that can do sewing jobs, but if there are any sewing problems that need to be done on your dress at the last minute, there is no chance to give it to dry cleaners.

The History of Sewing and Trimming
2008-04-12 06:24:00 Even in centuries past, people have always desired fashion in one form or another that was more than simply functional, but had traits of beauty as well. While you will find that a dress will cover up and keep a person warm, there is a world of difference from a plain dress and a dress that is truly stunning. In times past, fashion designs were elevated from boring to beautiful by using the art of trimming. Fashion items such as braids, ribbons, lace, even tassels are all excellent examples of trimming that were placed in high fashion regard back in the 18th century. Compare this to today’s fashion, where decorations such as these are regarded as tacky on our modern clothing.

Enjoying The Art of Embroidering Using a Sewing Machine
2008-04-12 00:06:00 One of the oldest hobbies that women have been enjoying for many generations is embroidering. In numerous different countries throughout the world, the art of embroidering is an integral part of their culture. Women assemble into a group and work together as a unit on some designs.

A Stitch In Time Many centuries ago, and still in some areas nowadays, women embroider by hand. Because they work with just their bare hands, intricate embroidery designs would quite often require many months of hard work. Women who used to work many long hours doing intricate embroidery designs very often strained their eyes as well as their back in the process. Many hours of straining her eyes to follow along some embroidery designs would cause vision problems. In some cases, women who have been creating intricate embroidery designs might end up having difficulty with their eyesight at a...
