Bobbins & Buttons

Добавлен 18 фев 2014
Welcome to Bobbins and buttons. It all began in 2013 when my kids were very little. I taught my sewing classes in the evenings when they were tucked up in bed! I still love teaching and along side my real classes I now share tutorials here. I also produce a range of sewing patterns with styles for all the family. I sell dressmaking fabrics with a focus on sustainability.
I think sewing should be an inclusive sustainable practice that anyone can do. My sewing pattern designs generally start as wardrobe solutions for me and my family, they sometimes even help with the making! I think of sewing as part of a well balanced lifestyle. From the mindful process of choosing fabric and design to the creative, practical process of making and then wearing your creation. Each stage is special. I would love to share and connect with you on your sewing journey.

Complete Beginners Guide to Making Your Own Clothes Part 3
Thnak you for a great explanation, loved the top/dress you were making
Beautiful!
Hello, how are you? I am Sadikul, I want to discuss important business matters with you. Please contract your information
Excellent help this video, a reminder to not rush in, and to do the planning before hand! I understand this better now :-)
@@janegriffin-d8i that's great you found it helpful Jane, thanks for the comment 😀
Really thankful for this tutorial thank you
Thank you for sharing this information. It will be very helpful in my future projects m. 😊
Great ideas and projects, you won’t be bored this autumn. I look forward to bigger pieces, maybe unusual curtains, for dungarees or boiler suits..they use so much fabric. In Somerset, market stalls with fabric on rolls is a rare thing! Thank you
I meant, I look for!
@sallyvaughan1231 Yes, interesting curtains are great. Love the idea of using them for boiler suits 👌
Exactly what I've been looking for to help the pockets I make look more professional!
Very very helpful indeed and clear. Thank you.
Does all linen stretch with wear and if so how do you judge your sizing to cater for it please?
Good question. Linen does have a natural amount of give. I've found the regular one that I stock and lighter weights not to have enough movement to cause any issues, especially for the Fern culottes. I wouldn't make this combo in anything heavier, so I work on the size that my measurements dictate. I initially made a toile in calico for the top and haven't changed anything.
@@bobbinsandbuttons this is great information, thanks for your reply. ❤️
Thank you! A brilliant video and so easy to follow.
thank you so much this was so very helpful. x
Thank you. 👍🏽
Good instruction going to try but really wasn’t easy to see need clearer filming !
Your site for signing up for free patterns isn’t working correctly
Thank you for letting me know. I will look into this.
Can’t wait to try not using the knife along the seam
Let me know how you get on.
Has anyone figured out the problem with the mismatching leg length at the inside crotch seam step, "step 3" on the website? There were a lot of comments on the blog but no resolution that I can find. Not sure how to proceed... in this video it seems she doesn't run into the problem because when she holds up the pinned crotch it all seems aligned.. but in my shorts the back side leg is about 1.5 inches longer than the front just at the inside..
Hi, someone sent me a picture the other day, and maybe this is the same issue. She had cut the wrong length line. They do sort of all merge together. I am going to see if I can change it to make it clearer. The best way to check is to count back from the outer line. If you are using the third line in, for example, count the third line in for the length on the back piece, too. There are answers to all queries on the blog post. Most were about not finding the download, which we have sorted out.I hope this helps.
You didn't show us anything much but your face how are we to see what pieces your matching up?
Just about to do my pockets. It’s great to have a video for this. My full bust adjustment went really well. Thank you.
That's great to know thank you for sharing 😊
Hello. Is there a reason for not to overlock the edges? I hate it when the inside of my pockets fray and loose threads come out
That's a good question, I generally never do as sometimes it creates bulk along the seam edge but if the fabric frays a lot then it would definitely be a good idea.
Really useful. Thankyou
Wonderful I really need to make one of these I have so many pieces of material thankyou
Great demo, beautiful scarf. Your sewing room is lovely!
Thank you for showing how to end a thread and begin another.
If you do marketing this work in your country then I can send some samples.
Love from kolkata ,india auntie, My mother is also associated with this beautiful work.
This is a lovely scarf
Thank you 😊
Watching this while I rip out buttonholes that did not space out well on another pattern 🥲
Oh no 😢 I hope the video helps
This scarf is beautiful. Thank you for your video. It looks like a scarf that you would find in any high end department store. Nice job ❤
Thank you 😊
thank you , lovely project!!
Thank you for this tutorial, especially the finishing and starting new threads, that makes such a difference to a project but very few people seem to show how to do it. I’m trying to use up my fabric stash and make things I can keep in a present drawer for when I need them and this is a brilliant idea for that! ❤
Oh, I love that idea. Perfect way to keep enjoying your hobby. Thank you for sharing that idea 😊
What size was the finished scarf
30cm x 170cm
I like the twin set
Thank you 😊
Thank GOD you keep such lovely manicure. Natural is best.
Wonderful! Thank you! I'll try to make a pair.
🙋🏼♀️🇦🇺
Very good tips, I hope I'm successful in applying them!
Thank you.
Thank you for making this video. I want to make a kantha quilt but it feels overwhelming. This is a wonderful way to try the technique on a smaller scale. Lovely!!
Ooh that would be amazing. So pleased you enjoyed the video, thank you for leaving a comment 😀
Beautiful scarf.
Thank you 😊
Thankyou so much for the video. I am subscribed to your channel but can't find the pattern. Kind regards, Caroline
Hi Caroline, you need to subscribe to my newsletter. There is a link below the video. The newsletter comes out every week to your inbox. It has a link and a password to take you to a page full of free patterns. This week it will arrive on Saturday. Hope this helps.
@@bobbinsandbuttons Thankyou so much. Caroline
From the US - it took awhile to de-confuse my brain. In the US, calico is a small print, not a solid fabric. I kept looking for the printed fabric! :)
Oh, thank you, I've learnt something new ☺️
Wow! Thank you for sharing these tips. ❤ 👏👏👏
Pleased you liked my vid, thank you 😊
Awesome, thank you for that!
Thank you for your comment, I hope you find it useful☺
Thank you. I found that very useful.
Thank you for commenting. I'm pleased you found it useful 😀
thanks, this is so clever!!
Thank you for commenting pleased you liked it 😀
❤❤ I give mine to my granddaughters school ❤️❤️
Yes that's a great idea. I have a school close by that are always grateful.
I think the last is my fav.. using two layers of fashion fabric... more comfortable next to the skin..
Yes, I agree, it has to feel comfortable, doesn't it 😊
Such a helpful video and tutorial. Loved the result as well. Thank you!
Thank you 😊
❤❤
Thank you 😊
