thinking about puppet tattoo parlors. A wall covered in so many different thread colors to choose from - swatches of different types of stitch for different textures / effects. modified handheld sewing machines for tattooing with multiple settings for the different stitches. individual needles + embroidery thread as stick n pokes...

#THINKING SO HARD ABOUT THIS #wouldnt this be cool though??? #cause i was thinking fondly of tattoos and went 'hm. how would a puppet do this?' #cause ink can bleed in fabric. it can scrub out. the lines wouldnt be as clean and i just dont think it would really Stick? #but EMBROIDERY! STITCHES! COOL SEWING GUNS INSTEAD OF TATTOO MACHINES!!! #and now im wondering Could They Remove Their Tattoos? #it would probably be pretty invasive! #hold on im doing research real quick #yeah looks like they'd need to lift their felt/fleece/skin to get at the back of the stitches #then sew the skin back together afterwards... #so to them tattoos would be just as permanent as they are to Us! because who wants to go through That! #im having a grand ol time imagining the Range their tattoos would have #textures! endless colors! glitter thread! metallic thread! wool! cotton! polyester! glow in the dark! scratch n sniff! #that last one was a joke. #imagining someone with an entire detailed forest scene carpeting their back... it has Depth... #absolutely unprompted #puppets #sundown summer is getting a motherfuckin tattoo if its the last thing i do #resisting the urge to just litter every puppet that i know of with this idea #YOU get a tattoo and YOU get a tattoo and YOU-

ik having my own living space would provide me with both the physical space to craft (and just, yknow, exist and take up space) as well as the mental/emotional stability to invest in certain supplies and devote myself to a full organization system bc i know it wont be taken away/asked to move/complained about

#i just. want a crafting zone #like idk how to explain it. but just. this space to create and love #with sketches and patterns and fabric and thread and everything all over the place #in a bright lovely mess of an organization system that makes sense to me #and i could get a sewing machine. and more of the tulip needles. have my yarn and thread organized #and not shoved into a bag so i can throw it in the closet out of the way so my mother doesnt complain #idk. ive been thinking about this a lot lately. it would be good for me

one day I’m gonna snap and force my sister to teach me how to sew just so I can make matsuda and ryoko dolls

#text post #danganronpa #danganronpa zero #yasuke matsuda #ryoko otonashi #you know I typed this with those little felt dolls in mind but now I’m actually thinking about how my sister has made actual plushies befor #I can have legit plushies of them #but also I’d need my sister to make them for me because idk how a sewing machine works. I am a simple needle and thread girl

Cloaksforall sewalong - threading your sewing machine (Top thread)

I've seen people in the sewalong tags saying they just got their first sewing machine or had no experience at all, so I'll attempt to give a little help with the first hurdle of using a sewing machine; putting in the threads.

Every machine is different, but there are some general ways most machines are set up.

The thread at the top is most different per machine. Looking up your manual is best, but in general modern machines have you pull the thread inside (and will have little directional arrows if you're lucky).

Older machines have the thread external. The common elements are, in order of operations:

A stick to place the thread

A hook or loop that keeps the thread in place

It will go down and around the tension wheel

And up through the lever that moves up and down when you turn the wheel

And down again towards the needle, through a little guide and through the eye of the needle

For older machines, that tension loop has a little metal wire jiggling around:

Top thread done, now for the bobbin!

(This post got way too long and tumblr complained about the amount of photos, so GO HERE for bobbin threading)

#i trust people with shuttle machines know how to use them #(and they can come and tell me because i have one that I'd love to get fully functional) #image id in alt text #there are 5 sewing machines in this room rn #but in my defence not all of them are mine #and people keep on threatening to discard their old machines #but talia you didn't show how the old singer threads up #it's exactly the same as the 60s machine! #just from the head of the machine

I love you industrial sewing machines I love you industrial sergers I love you 3000 yard cones of thread I like you as a friend blind hemmer machine I love you pressurized boiler iron I love you big ironing table with vacuum suction and those attached sleeve boards that swivel out

#the boiler iron at my workplace broke and has been sent off for repairs and I am pining :( #I miss it so much :((( #until my beloved industrial iron returns I'm stuck with a shitty little domestic one that doesn't get as hot #and doesn't even have a steam button!!! #It's slowing me down a significant amount! #sewing #memes #also I should mention that my workplace does not have one of those sweet sweet ironing tables with the vacuum pedal :( #but my college and previous workplace both had a few of them #it's ok though I really don't need something that fancy for the alterations I do at work #I love industrial sewing machines SO MUCH I wish they weren't so ugly #also the blind hemmer machine works fine and I don't have trouble with it I just don't love it as much as the other 2 machines #not a fan of the very synthetic filament-y thread or how easily chain stitch comes undone

My sewing machine decided it's time to start giving random error messages again whenever I sew.

It's a cheap, 200 euro digital machine, you get what you pay for.

First repair was 3 years back, 110 euros.

This time the estimate is 120 euros.

I am gladly gonna pay for that because 1) I refuse to buy a whole new sewing machine just because the bobbin tension fucks itself every 3 years, 2) sewing machines are one of the few things that still have repair shops semi-widely available, and 3) machine quality and inflation are making it that I couldn't even find an equivalent machine for the same price if I wanted to.

#sewing #right to repair #reduce reuse recycle #the repair shop is right next to my place of work too #very tempted to get a mechanical backup machine #either something tiny or something old #ideally not a pfaff #just to mildly annoy the repair guy who prefers to work on pfaff #i will happily buy *more* sewing machines #used ones #just not to replace 8 kilos of technology that occasionally fumble with a tiny disc of thread #watch me eyeing the battery powered Barbie machine #“hey can you bring your sewing machine and hem my pants when you come over?” #*rocks up with a hot pink machine the size of a chihuahua* #thank you for coming to my ted talk #don't get a singer curvy if you have other options #if I could learn how to unfuck sewing machines myself I'd be a happy happy girl

comfy loose shirt with decorative stitches! made from a thrift store bedsheet

took around 4 days, which includes copying a pattern from another shirt, cutting, sewing, and making the collar twice because i messed up the measurements lol

#diy #slow fashion #sipping some whales #i learned how to sew buttonholes on my machine + found out it has a tiny ass thread cutter i hadnt noticed. #fiber arts

[southern--downpour]

#the mechanisms #octokittens #octokitten beta has been a journey! i shouldve stuck closer to my reference lmao #also ignore how mesdy my stitching is. i am not good at sewing #we dont have a sewing machine that functions atm so i figured this would be good practice lmao #used the black thread so i could see what i was doin a lot easier gonna switch to a more subtle color in the final lmao #shut up virgil #also tma is really good for sewing!! it's rly easy for me to follow along when doin something repetitive like this lmao #got through like ten episodes doing this

[murcielagatito]

looking at sewing machine reviews is so funny bc like... welcome to the craft of putting a thread through the tiniest hole imaginable

#LOOOOL #its just a general pain in the ass it literally never stops getting annoying to thread machines because of how delicate uou have to be #sewing

Them: How normal are you about Mysterious Lotus Casebook?

Me: Very!

Also me:

#it's the mantra Li Lianhua named himself after and which has been living rentfree in my head #there's also a 'not curable/treatable' patch on there. I think he'd appreciate it xD #Also please excuse my messy hanzi I just sketched that on to see whether the size works and how much of the collar it'd cover #not yet decided whether to embroider it by hand or by machine because it's jeans fabric #and I'd like to use the blue thread but that would only work for hand embroidery #anyway.... I'm very normal about MLC I promise #my adventures in sewing #my adventures in embroidery

My latest short video. I will be making a full series of these, and a longer one for those who don't like short form content. it will just take me some time to make it. This is for all beginners who have a sewing machine that they want to use, but have NO IDEA where to begin

I will also cover my vintage machine (its almost an antique) for those who want to know how to use one

quilt update: my back is fucked up now

#i ran out of bobbin thread twice and have to replace my main spool once so far #and i still have to stitch together 9 more rows and THEN stitch all 15 rows TOGETHER #JUST TO HAVE THE TOP PANEL OF FABRIC DONE #quilters scare the fuck out of me how do they find this fun #also my sewing machine is on the ground w my pedal so i’m. literally just hunched over on the ground doing this #i don’t wanna clear off my desk this is the optimal way to do this clearly

[autistic-shaiapouf]

Also with so little time before the con and so much Outfit left for me to make, I'm starting to enter hyperfocus when I'm working on it 👁👁

#threading the 2nd wing and didnt stop only until i had to heat up a rat for my snake #and now i really don't feel like going back to it now lmao; tomorrow i can hypothetically finish threading it #and line the last piece with wire and then run them through my sewing machine; I'll need to cut the dart for the coat as well #and figure out how to make the sleeves more comfy.. iron down the seams maybe? or cover them with cotton.. #might do yarn for the antennae bc that's easier to get ahold of.. as soon as i figure out the tails I'll go back to the fabric store #and try to find more of the specific yarn i used for my plushie bc that might be my best bet rn #i doubt I'll get the antennae exactly as ive been drawing them but i just need them to be long if i can 🥺 #might have to compromise between size and fullness ://// depends on how much yarn I'm willing to buy lmao #need to get some boots and spray paint them.. style and dye the wig 😔 looked at it and briefly considered using it for pouf #bc i don't have bangs but i love using my actual bleached hair for him lmao; i do need to bleach my roots again #i need con tickets i STILL havent bought those and it's in like 2 weeks #shai speaks

god. the woes of being into arts and crafts

#i keep procrastinating working on this jumpsuit bc it requires a sewing machine which i HAVE like my cousin gave me one #but he also told me how to like. put the needle and thread and stuff and i dont rmbr the instructions to do that so im scared to use it </3 #but i need to finish this bc with the leftover fabric i can work on turning this shirt i never wear #into a cute midi floral skirt WITH pockets #which i can do handsewing it which regardless of how inconvenient and long it takes #i am comfortable doing..... #and THEN i can work on making my barbie outfit which i. still. need fabric for. (bc first i need to use the stuff i HAVE and then buy more) #i also want to make like 3 pairs of earrings. idk which i shld do first UGH being creative is soooo hard sometimes #<- has lots of things she shld be doing that are more important than this

[ranvwoop]

I should make a cute mask but the sewing machine is NOT more afraid of me than I am of it

#vwoop.noises #school is starting soon which means I actually am forced to leave the house #My father used to steal disposable masks for me from work but idk if they still have them Pensive #I bought a sewing machine but idk how to work it. Threading it was a two day family activity
