Hi, my name is Tina and I live in the UK. I am a young-at-heart 59yo, happily married with two grown-up daughters. I have been a professional seamstress with over 40 years experience, and I have enjoyed playing with makeup ever since I can remember. One of my favourite hobbies is hitting the local charity shops ('chazzas'), to see what bargains I can find. My channel is a combination of my hobbies, but there will also be other videos that I feel maybe useful for you guys.

Upcycling those unwanted lamp shades for your garden.
zhlédnutí 87Před dnem
When I found these two lamp shades in a charity shop.... I new exactly what I was going to do with them, I also bought some necklaces from the same charity shop, I put one necklace to one shade and ended up with some great looking outdoor lanterns, one lantern cost £2.50 and one was £1.50 ... and the beauty they look GREAT!
How I made some lace knickers
zhlédnutí 60Před 14 dny
In this video I make myself some lace knickers, I took the pattern off a pair of my favourite ones and they are so easy to make it is just getting the lace right for the perfect fit. You need the right amount of stretch in the lace for the perfect result.
How I made a pair of trousers from a vintage table cloth.
zhlédnutí 146Před 21 dnem
I bought this table cloth a few weeks back in a charity shop for £2, I made the trousers by taking the pattern from a pair of satin PJ bottoms that I have , I made a wide waist band and a deep hem on the legs, I think these turned out great and will be one of my holiday makes on a summer's evening.
Up cycling... a quick sewing transformation.
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed měsícem
In this video I do a quick up cycling using two items of clothing... one item was mine, one my daughter gave me but putting them together what a treat for me, it turned out so well and was a quick transformation. Don't you just love it when a up cycle turns out great! I do.

How to make a small elastic waist on a maxi dress bigger.
zhlédnutí 69Před měsícem
In this video I have a maxi dress that was gifted to me but was just a little bit to tight on the waist, I extended the elastic to make it fit much better, it is a super easy and quick way to upsize the waist on a maxi dress.
How I made a pair of tasseled shorts.
zhlédnutí 44Před měsícem
In this video I make myself some tasseled shorts... So Swanky! It was such a fun make, the fabric I had made it so easy for lining up the tassel in place, I used eight meters of tassel which is four inch long on the size 18 [ UK] shorts, this is the first full tasseled item of clothing I have made and LOVE how they turned out.
Different style sleeve options for sheared tops.
zhlédnutí 55Před měsícem
In this video I show you different types of sleeves you can add on to a sheared top, there are quite a few options that can transform how a sheared top looks by just adding some sleeves and the beauty with all of these sleeves is that they are all just a oblong piece of fabric, that has been sheared in different places. I wasn't able to add the link to the shearing video so here it is... studio...

How I made wind chimes... with lights.
zhlédnutí 45Před 2 měsíci
In this video I make wind chimes to hang from my parasol, but I made them with a difference... I added a light in each one which adds a lovely ambiance on an evening over my patio table, you could hang them on shepherds hooks to light up your garden, hang them on a bracket on a fence, put them in a summer house, you can design your tins up any way you want all it takes is a little imagination!
How I added tassels to a pair of jeans.
zhlédnutí 114Před 2 měsíci

Love all the clothing items Tina x
@@mollie4697 thank you Mollie Xx
@@TinaBambinano worries
Good basic advice here. The most important part is bad stitches on bottom is an issue with top thread. Bobbin thread should have light resistance when you pull on it. It becomes more critical when using very light fabric. Learning to sew takes a long time. Have fun learning. This lady knows what shes saying and this is good knowledge for all sewing machines, not just Juki's.
I just bought a used elna 683 today. I am SO HAPPY that you have made such a great thorough video on this machine! Thank you!!

Thank you so much,Oh I better tell you i have a DSL5550N juki. they say there the same but they are not. Ever since I moved it has not been the same. Traveling wouln't do this would it? I have had this Machine for 8 years and not one problem till I moved.

Hi mollie Thank you ❤️
@@TinaBambina your welcome x
Thank you! They came out perfect
Your welcome ❤️
I have a question I have this exact model and when I press down on the peddle and I hear the machine about to sew it sounds like the motor is breathing a bit harder then im use to. It sounds similar to a generator but not nearly as loud, if the machine is sewing I cant hear it but when im sewing really slow and I can watch needle move slowly I can hear it clearly. Should this be something to be concerned about?
Hi Obviously our models are the older ones and are noisy machines to start off with, these machines are work horses and are made to last, my machine has had a slightly different noise of late , I’ve gave it a good once over and I think it’s still a bit noisier but I’m not to concerned about it , it is working fine and still doing a great job , you can get new motors for the machine if you are quite concerned about the noise , the new ones are quite but to be fair the noise does not bother me.
@@TinaBambina ok thank you! The noise doesnt bother me at all I just wanted to make sure I was safe to sew on it. My classroom has really old models I’ll pay attention and see if I hear the same noice. I might’ve been hearing it the entire time but couldn’t tell till I was just in my own bedroom with it.
Random update: I replaced the oil inside and followed your steps and now it makes even less noise THANK YOU AGAIN!
Love your videos tina x
Love your videos tina ♥️ some lovely items
Great haul, some lovely items.
Hi Thank you , yes I dropped on some good items ❤️

Hi Try re threading your machine from the start make sure the tension discs are not to tight and that there’s no fluff between the discs x

hello Tina, I'm a new sewer :) I wanted to ask you. I'm struggling with my Juki to have access to the bobine thread. How do you place it please and how do you make sure the thready is visible and ready to be used ? Thank you very much for your help
Hi Do you mean when it is in the bobbin case?
Thank you so much. This helps me so much 🙏🙏
You are very welcome glad it was helpful for you, thank you for watching X

Hi Lynne Thank you , hope your wrists are better , I struggle with mine from time to time and know how painful they can be ❤️
Great idea look girly
Amazing Tina love the videos x
Hi mollie Thank you 🥰
my 206k singer takes these needles
but i cud use either 15x1 or the db one in my 319k singer
Skirt should have been attached way higher it looks very awkward 😜 Weird
Yes I already said if I did another I would do it higher , I might take this up .
I think as well when your doing some thing for the first time , you learn from mistakes I’d go up a size in jeans as well as going higher with the top part.
I like the idea of the skirt. The jean part, however, looks too small. I think this would work better with baggy type jeans.
The top part is tight fitting on me , a baggy jean would look good , if I did another I think I would do the top part a bit shorter .
@@TinaBambina Yeah shorter top may work better. You can always adjust the one you made, maybe. Thanks for sharing. Think I'll try one.
@@angelrose7906 this is true ❤️
