You Don’t Say! Interesting Survey Results from Our Readers

May 27, 2014 by AllFreeSewing

At AllFreeSewing, we genuinely want to know how to best serve our readers. If you subscribe to our newsletter, Sewing It Up, you may have noticed an opportunity to participate in a survey. We really wanted to know what you liked, didn’t like, and wanted when it came to Sewing It Up. After all, we love making the content, and want you to love reading it!

Take a gander at some interesting responses that we received from you!

Sewing ClothesOur readers sew the most for…

Themselves! We were extremely interested to find that 69% of our readers sew for adults, and given the demographic information that we gathered alongside this, that means themselves! Most exciting. How will AllFreeSewing respond? With more adult patterns and tutorials, of course! It can feel silly to splurge at the store on yourself, but when you actually sew clothing for your closet you can spend some of your creative energy simultaneously.

The second largest age group that our readers sew for is 0-3 year-olds. Deep in our laboratory (at our desks), the editors hypothesized that readers are attracted to sewing for babies and toddlers because of the size of the project and often the skill level. Because of the size, these projects usually take much less time than an adult pattern and obviously they use less fabric.

Bags and PursesOur readers want more…

Bags & purses! Yes, when asked what they’d like to see more of, 49% of our readership responded with bags & purses, and we’re hardly surprised. Top ranking collections on AllFreeSewing include 12 Beautiful Tote Purse Patterns, 27 Patterns to Sew Purses + 6 New Coin Purses, and Sewing Bags: Tutorials You’ll Love & 15 Free Purse Sewing Patterns.

But, editors at AllFreeSewing, that can’t be all your readers want… you’re absolutely right. We learned that apart from the always popular bags & purses, our readers would really appreciate:

 

Patterns for men!          Plus-Sized Patterns!          Tips & Tricks!

 Sewing for Men            Quick Tips: How to Alter A Pattern for...          How to Sew: Sewing Techniques and Easy Projects to Sew for Beginners

Trust us, these patterns are on our radar. We’ve initiated some call-outs for all of these patterns, but we need your help! Menswear and plus-sized tutorials are scarce in the sewing community, so if you know of or have any of these get in touch with us! We’d love to work with you to let these kinds of ideas reach our readership.

Lastly, probably the most important question we asked our readers was if they’d prefer a lifetime supply of chocolate or fabric. 81.04% of readers said fabric, 2.90% of readers said chocolate, and 16.06% couldn’t decide.

Lifetime Suppy ResultsWhat a survey. What results! What shocking information! We appreciate all of our readers and want to extend a big thank you to those that participated in our survey. We still would like to know however,

if you didn’t answer the lifetime supply question…what would you choose? Chocolate or fabric?

National Sewing Month 2013: Easy Sewing Projects to Make for Kids

September 22, 2013 by AllFreeSewing

It’s Day Twenty-Two of National Sewing Month! Too see the daily blog posts, projects of the day, and more National Sewing Month details, click here.

National Sewing Month 2013

When it comes to raising a family, one of the biggest changes a parent can expect is an increased cost of living. Kids are cute and wonderful, and raising them is a very rewarding experience, but it is also extremely costly. Fortunately for the sewists of the world, it’s easy to take some of the expense out of expanding your family and bringing children into the world.

There are plenty of projects you can sew for kids. From toys to clothes to school supplies and more, you can find a sewing pattern to fill just about any need you or your kids might have. By sewing the essentials (and non-essentials) for your children, you can provide for them without sacrificing quality to save money.

Bargain brands can be risky, and the cheap versions of some products quickly wear out and need to be replaced. Rather than deal with those headaches, you can sew high quality products for your kids at a fraction of the retail cost. Check out all the sewing projects below to find ideas, inspiration, and free tutorials so you can sew anything and everything your kids will need.

Teach Kids How to Sew

Whether sewing is your full time job or just a hobby, you love what you do and you’d love to see your kids share that passion. You can pass on your love for sewing to your kids by showing them how it’s done.

While it’s great to bond with kids over a mutual interest, teaching kids a skill can become very difficult and can quickly make sparks fly. In order to cut down on any arguing or frustration in the teaching process, you can use these free tutorials to help everything along. Because all of these sewing tutorials are accessible online, you and your kids can revisit them for a refresher whenever you’d like.

Bias Tape with Melissa from Melly Sews: National Sewing Month 2013

September 4, 2013 by AllFreeSewing

It’s Day Four of National Sewing Month! Too see the daily blog posts, projects of the day, and more National Sewing Month details, click here.

National Sewing Month 2013

Hi – I’m Melissa, and I blog at Melly Sews, as well as design sewing patterns at www.BlankSlatePatterns.com. I’m so happy to be here for National Sewing Month! Today I want to talk to you about bias tape.

So, what is bias tape? Bias tape is fabric that is cut on the diagonal, then has the raw edges folded to the wrong side. Single-fold bias tape has the edges folded once, double-fold has the edges folded twice. It can be used to finish seams or add a decorative touch to a garment, or both.

For years I had a hate/hate relationship with bias tape. I hated it because the polyester pre-made stuff was rough and often only in ugly colors. And I hated it because I always tried to save time by sandwiching it where I needed it to be and sewed it only once. Then it wouldn’t stay in place or would end up all wonky and I’d blame the bias tape instead of myself for sewing it incorrectly.

But now? I love bias tape. So, today I’m going to share how to properly attach bias tape, and how to make your own out of cute fabric so you don’t have to rely on the ugly and/or rough pre-made stuff from the store.

Here’s the RIGHT way (not the Melissa in a hurry way that will not save time!) to attach bias tape:

I’m going to show you how to use double-fold bias tape, as this is the more commonly used kind to finish edges – think place mats or necklines.

Start by unfolding the tape and pinning it to the wrong side of the fabric with the raw edges even.

bias-tape09-copy

Sew right in the fold of the bias tape.

bias-tape10-copy

Wrap the tape to the right side of the fabric and pin, just covering the stitching line with the folded edge.

bias-tape11-copy

Stitch very closely to the edge of the tape.

bias-tape12-copy

And on the back side it looks like this:

bias-tape13-copy

Because bias tape is cut on the diagonal, or bias, you can stretch it around curves. At corners, you’ll want to miter the corner – this is a good tutorial to show you how to do that.

How to Make Your Own Bias

Now let’s have some fun making your own bias tape and using it to add a professional looking finish and a pop of color and pattern to your sewing.

Here’s how to make your own bias tape – and you only have to sew 2 seams!
This is much easier than it appears. I usually use a fat quarter of fabric, and from that I can get 4 yards of 1/2″ double-fold tape or 8 yards of 1/2″ single-fold.

Start by folding your fabric on the bias – this is the same method I was taught to make a square out of a rectangular piece of paper. I always iron my fabric on the fold to mark it. Then, cut off the excess fabric to make this a square, and then cut along the bias fold.

Start by folding - How to Make Continuous Bias Tape - Melly Sews

Match two straight grain edges right sides together like this and sew. I use a 1/4″ seam when I do this.

How to Make Continuous Bias Tape - Melly Sews

Press the seam open. Your piece will look like this now, with the seam in the middle and the arrow marking the bias grain.

Bias Grain - How to Make Continuous Bias Tape - Melly Sews

Using a ruler, mark lines on the bias grain of the fabric on the wrong side. If you are doing double-fold tape, your lines should be 4x the final width apart (i.e. if you want 1/2″ tape at the end, your lines need to be 1/2″ x 4 = 2″ apart). If you want single-fold tape, your lines should be double the width of the final tape width apart (i.e. if you want 1/2″ single-fold tape you do 1/2″ x 2 = 1″ apart).

Mark cutting lines - How to Make Continuous Bias Tape - Melly Sews

Fold your fabric, imagining that the spaces are numbered like this on one side. On the other side, imagine the numbers start with 1 instead of 0. You’ll match the edges, so you’re pinning the #1 space on one edge to the #1 space on the other side. The arrow shows where the #4’s would line up. Stitch this seam with a 1/4″ seam allowance, and press open.

Match edges - How to Make Continuous Bias Tape - Melly Sews

Your sewn tube will look like this – one on each side is offset a little.

Cut bias tape from tube - How to Make Continuous Bias Tape - Melly Sews

Now start cutting on your lines. I use scissors and go slowly. You could try a rotary cutter, just be careful not to cut through the bottom layer.

Bias Tape from the sewn tube - How to Make Continuous Bias Tape - Melly Sews

Continue cutting until you have a pile of unfolded bias tape.

8 yards of 1" wide bias tape - How to Make Continuous Bias Tape - Melly Sews

Now, you could use a cardboard bias tape rig (tutorial on MellySews.com), but I prefer to use these Clover Bias Tape Maker tips. You feed the bias tape through and then iron as you pull the tip away from the iron.

Use bias tape tip to iron - How to Make Continuous Bias Tape - Melly Sews

When you’re done ironing (which goes by pretty fast) you get tape that looks like this (outside on top, wrong side on bottom).

Front and back view of single fold bias tape - How to Make Continuous Bias Tape - Melly Sews

If you then want to turn this into double-fold bias tape, you’ll fold it in half by hand and iron again.

I save the little pieces of cardboard from my store bought bias tape (I do still use it on occasion) and wrap the handmade tape on them.

Sewing the Spectrum: Easy Sewing Projects in Every Color of the Rainbow

August 12, 2013 by AllFreeSewing

We were all introduced to Roy G. Biv as kids, and he has been our best friend for many a craft through life. The rainbow is always a go-to when you need to produce something artsy and are at a loss for ideas. I know when I was expected to turn in an art project and didn’t have ideas, I colored plenty of rainbow starbursts.

Well, sewists, rejoice! Roy G. Biv is there for all of you too. You can use the color spectrum to find inspiration for easy sewing projects.

Instead of coming up with a project and then choosing a color scheme, try starting with a color and working from there. Whether you have sewer’s block (if that doesn’t currently exist, say it enough and we’ll make it catch on), or need an idea to sew someone a gift, start with the rainbow. The easy sewing projects below are organized by color and will help you choose the perfect project for whomever you’ll be crafting.
