How-to Hem, Make Workshop, SodaFine, Janome Contest - ThreadHeads

Diana Rupp's book is fantastic..especially for beinners like myself. I absolutely love her book and this website.

I'm not sure if i have a blind hem foot, but i do have that stitch button, so i'm going to try it and see what happens

oh my gosh i just realized that Corrine looks ALOT like Fegie the singer not the dutchess lol

Corrine,

I love the 45 spindle adapter earings! I collect records and think that those would be an awsome to add to my collection. 

Much Love,

can we get a tutorial on seting up the thread~n~needles?

It's actually ahimsa, not ahisma. Just a tip for the googlers. They normally boil silk caterpillars in order to extract the silk. But not with ahimsa. They make sure the moths live a full and natural life.

Hey!  My family has those old sheets too!  Guess they were popular in the seventies and/or eighties...I know that's how old my rainbow sheets are!  

Great episode, but a quick tip to all those who aren't blessed with a blind hem foot...(or they probably lost it...like me!) You can do a blind hem stitch without the foot!  It's just a lot more work and your hand might cramp up.  That's because you alternate between straight stitches and zigzags manually.  Start with a straight stitch on the folded edge (the part that won't be seen on the outside of the hem) Then sew a few stitches, depending on the lenght of stitch you want and then stop.  switch to zig zag.  Then hand crank one stitch so that it will go over into fabric that will be seen on the outside of the garment.  Stop again.  Switch back to straight stitch and repeat.  It takes forever and like I said your hand will start to cramp up.  But until you can buy your own blind hem foot and the machine to go with it which makes the job so much easier, it's a sutitable alternative.  

Great episode!! I liked the hoodie. :D This makes me want to check out all the indie fashion shops in New York! You guys rock.

What kind of sewing machine is it that Diane is using? I really need to get a new machine and I like that one. Also anyone know where I can buy one?

Does anyone know how to make a really wicked spy-like normal (not bubbled) trench coat?

Omg, Corrine, I love your earrings XD  And the viewer submission hoodie was rockin'! I love the rainbows and the big sleeves.

I totally love you guys. You always have great ideas on here. I just cant get enough.  Keep up the good work.

ok so corinne's necklace...was that 2 heliocopter seeds that had been coated in silver??? or am I going crazy?
also great tip about the blind hem...it really does make dresses and skirts look more tailored..

I want to go to sodafine! The things there look amazing!

i just found those same rainbow sheets at a thrift store haha

Killer episode!! I love Sodafine and the viewer submission was great. That is a fantastic rainbow hoodie. Mad props, Threadheads!xoxoxox

You guys are making me want to move to Brooklyn, because it seems like all the awesome stores and workshops are there.

Great episode!  If I didn't already have Diana Rupp's book, I would definitely enter the contest!

cool episode guys.

I think I saw a duffel in the sodafine spot that said "This is my Ex's jeans."  Awesome.
