People have been sewing with elastic thread for years and years. Thought all knew how it done.

I have been avoiding shirring too. But your video seems to be the easiest to follow . At least that I've seen. And I would love to see the jeans in your next drop.

So cute love a shirred moment, also I just learned hitting it with steam from the iron when it's done also helps at the end it tightens the rows of stitching. Thanks for sharing

I was just gonna put my own comment saying the exact same thing! I love her videos and how she shows her process for achieving her goal, If you tube had a heart instead of a thumbs up I would definetly ❤ her videos. I also feel the same way about her confidence, she is the ONLY youtuber I watch that makes me want to go out and buy a sewing machine and start sewing 😄 but where my struggles lie is in finding a sewing machine that is good that doesnt have all the bells and whistles that I dont need. I just need a good sewing machine that can do basic things like, sew a hem on different textiles, I would like the backward stitch option instead of me manually doing it, inexpensive and is user friendly for beginners. I have considered buying a second hand one, but again I lack the knowledge of whats a good machine vs one thats not so good.

@@yvettemontalvo7991❤ I feel the same way about her AND the exact same way you felt! So much so I went out and bought a sewing machine! Coincidentally, one that Angela herself reviewed (check her channel!) and likes! "Janome Easy to Use Sewing Machine" - plug that into Google, and I picked mine up at JoAnn's bc at the time there was a sale for the color I wanted. That was about 2 weeks ago, and I have made: 3 shirts 1 stretch pencil skirt 1 pair of sweat pants 4 scrunchies And clothes for 2 dolls I made years ago (a dress and jacket for one, a jumpsuit and jacket for the other, neither were from a pattern and look....very handmade lol but still the dolls ain't nekkid). All of the above to say? DOOOO IIIIIIT!!! lol you will NOT regret it!!

@LovedSarita Жыл бұрын

Thank you!!! I would never thought of using a zig zag stitch with elastic thread! Angelina maybe if you made the length of the stitch shorter it would shirring a little more and if you "iron it" actually just applied steam then it would shrink more

@LRWdesign Жыл бұрын

Make sure you use steam to shrink the elastic into place after finishing. Don’t iron it, just hold above it and hit the steam burst. It helps afterwards. 😘👍

Another super cute upcycle! When I do this, if I don’t need to use the buttons, I plan to add a few stitches to prevent any gaping in the elasticated area.

You should try the top part you cut off on with it , maybe when you have it on as a skirt and a white tank or tee to make it be like a jacket or a blazer type jacket. Just an idea. Yes I love those jeans they remind me of a pair I had as a little girl mine had belt loops going down the side seam. 😊

I love that you showed first time how brave of you. Also might be good to stitch top front closed to prevent that little gap since the shirring let’s it stretch enough to be a pull over

Loved this! I usually don't do shirring because I never thought of it as my style (I associate it with more flowy, cottagecore designs) but I love the way yours looks! I also do some designs that are adaptive and shirring could be perfect for that!

You have to pull the elastic thread a bit tight for it to gather well

@yvettemontalvo7991 Жыл бұрын

❤❤❤❤ your videos! i do have a question and that is: what would be the difference between manually threading a bobbin with elastic thread vs doing it with a bobbin threader? Now, I can assume that the threader would stretch the elastic thread as supposed to manually doing it, but if the thread is stretched wouldnt it gather automatically or will it make it TOO ruchey once sewn?

@leelulady2010 Жыл бұрын

If you left enough room at the top, then you could put in a thin strap too!

@drkatel Жыл бұрын

I'm super frustrated. One of my first sewing projects was shirring and it came out beautifully using my beginner machine, a Singer Stylist. I upgraded slightly to their computerized heavy duty machine (hd6800c) & for the life of me, I can't get the tension right for shirring. It baffles me. PS: Will try again with long stitch & low tension. Maybe I never went low enough?

Huh, that’s really interesting because the girls in the office tried it too and Tiara had a hard time with it using the Singer 6800c.
