April Knitting & Spinning Updates
Hey everyone! It's been a little while since my last update, so I wanted to fill you in on what I've been working on recently and my plans for April.
Since the last video, I've been completely immersed in learning how to spin yarn. I picked up a spinning wheel a few months ago, and it's been such an incredible journey so far. As a total beginner, there's definitely been a steep learning curve, but the process of taking raw fiber and transforming it into yarn is incredibly satisfying.
I've been experimenting with different fiber types like wool, alpaca, and even some cotton. Each has its own unique qualities and challenges when it comes to spinning. Right now, I'm working on improving my consistency and being able to spin finer weight yarns.
On the knitting front, I've had a few projects going simultaneously which i'm keen to tell you all about.
Overall, I'm just having an absolute blast as a new spinner and experienced knitter. This community is incredibly welcoming, supportive, and creative. There's so much to learn, but I love being able to connect with passionate fiber enthusiasts from around the world. I can't wait to share more of my spinning and knitting adventures with you all!

    All right, since you asked, I personally think that maybe you should consider hacking one of the dress patterns you've already got. You know they fit, that's good, you know you like them, but maybe with a bit of a change. They even sell add on packs, if you think that would help. There's pictures so you can see how others have made them up. Just my opinion of course. Any way happy sewing and I hope you enjoy your new fabrics. Mrs. K.

    Thanks for the recommendation about Yarn Etc. Next time I go to Harrogate I'll try to pay them a visit. Regarding a big shawl, I'm currently knitting the Hiraeth by Flossi knits. It's actually made with DK weight and you cast on all the stitches and decrease one stitch every right side row. It's a lovely design and really good that you decrease the stitches rather than increasing them 😊

    I love the way you've gone about this! I'm at the beginning stages of curating a sustainable me-made wardrobe and I also started with trying to find colours that would play well together and look good on me. I've subscribed so that I can follow your progress and gain some inspiration on my own journey. I'm basically starting from ground zero with my wardrobe as between a flood, medical issues and job loss, I decided to focus on wearing what I already had for sustainability, but now everything other than my more formal clothes is currently worn out past the point of repair. As you are where I hope to be in a couple years, is there any advice you would give to someone just starting out?

    • @sewprettysewmindful
      @sewprettysewmindful Před 4 měsíci

      Hi there. Firstly, congratulations on committing to this. It's a big ask in my opinion. Keep an eye on the trends and see what's hot and what's not. Make sure the style will even suit you before you try and recreate it. But a pattern with multiple versions within it. Your pattern will then stand the test of time. Find a trousers pattern that has a timeless look. I choose the miller trousers and the Bob trousers for spring summer. Find the 1 pair of jeans that you can nail the fit of. Don't get sucked into impulse buying. Make a Pinterest board of things you like, stand back and see what colours seem to appear on repeat. If you scroll back on CZcams you will see a wardrobe I made in the same way a few years ago. 1 top I never really wore (wrong colours) and 1 top got damaged but the rest I do wear quite alot. I hope this helps a little

    I work in silk chiffon and silk satin. As part of the pre-shrinking process, I starch it heavily, and iron it on the wrong side, damp, on a woolen blanket on the dining room table. Works a treat. I was fortunate to find old fashioned powdered starch at a local supermarket, but spray starch will work as well. Just more expensive. The starch rinses out in warm water when the garment is finished. Might be a little bit crisp at first, but not a problem.

    I sometimes change my serger cones twice in a day and it takes me only a minute. I always make a simple knot in the threads of the two left threads and carefully pull them through and I simply rethread the left two threads (or sometimes I will use only one of them). Fast and easy and no need for an airthreader.

Webbing is a very personal choice so take a look out there. I would choose something like a 38mm wide strap for this size bag. Boyes sells webbing along with other haberdashery shops. If you prefer to shop online head to Amazon or merchant and mills. M&m is amazing but costly!

    This couldn't have been more timely. I have some fabric with sherpa on the back, and have been stuggling with what to make with it. Suddenly thought the Illford might work (I already have the pattern), so googled to see if anyone had made it with Sherpa, and TaDa! -your vlog came up. I love your make. Question-what hardware did you put on the pocket corners? I think that's brilliant - looks fantastic and will provide a lot of strength to the corners.
