They are so nice and easy to use for applying tiny eyelets.

(5) Eyelet Pliers: My mom gave me these pliers a few years ago. It’s also great when pounding thicker seams in leather so they are easier to sew. (4) Hammer: This is my ( politically incorrect) small “girl” hammer! It’s been used to apply grommets, snaps and eyelets. You can basically sew everything with the AcuFeed Flex installed!) ( BTW – the Skyline S9 comes with multiple dual feed feet, including a quilting and zipper foot among others. Find out a lot more about the AcuFeed Flex with these tips for sewing knits and these quilting tips. Bringing all layers through the machine evenly. It’s job is to feed the layers of fabric through the machine from the top and bottom.

(3) AcuFeed Flex (Dual Feed): This replaces the more common walking/even foot. Especially good when Changing a Zipper Pull to suit your own needs. (2) Needle Nose Pliers: Great for messing around with all sorts of purse hardware. The small area under the needle is great for thinner fabrics, there’s less chance they get pushed down into the plate. (1) Straight Stitch Needle Plate: For stitching absolutely every fabric that comes your way – no matter what.

You’ve got to keep your wizardy-self happy am-I-right? What better way than to stock a maker sewing space full of expected and unexpected things you can use to #makeallthethings.ĭo you use an unexpected tool on a regular basis to make your sewing easier? I ended up cutting my 50″ straps down to 31″ each – #argh for the wasted fabric.

Pre-Measure: The apron straps are really, really ( really) long to accommodate for for multiple sizes.

I purchased 3 yards for this and ended up squeezing the entire apron out of just over 2 yards. Essex Linen and most quilting cottons commonly come it 42-44″ wide bolts.

Watch Out! The Purl Soho tutorial calls for 55-60″ wide linen.

Tip: To have the stitch to meet in the middle of the bib, sew in from each edge to the center! The Skyline S9 I have on loan from Janome also has a button that will automatically mirror the stitches – making this even easier!

Make it Yours: To make it more unique add a decorative stitch to the top of the pockets and the apron bib.

Fabric: Indigo Essex Linen ( #bestillmyfabriclovingheart!) This linen is gorgeous, easy to use and sew.

Definitely going to keep your clothes clean no matter what you are doing! The seams are all fully finished, and it’s super comfortable to wear. The Cross Back Apron tutorial is free, and really straight forward. This is the Workshop Wizard’s Apron of Choice, and unlike last week’s new free pattern ( the Design Diva Apron) there was no need to re-invent the wheel.
