Tickled Pink!

I’m tickled pink by my pin-tucker, and I’m not going to try to say that, with or without any booze in me!sewing stuff 008

Lookee lookee first attempt:

As I’ve said many times, I am absolutely NOT a tidy or meticulous or patient type:  all my attempts at tucks heretofore have been a royal mess, wobbly, uneven and just plain crap!

Have you got a pintuck marker lurking in the drawer of your treacle machine? [lol sorry Kim]  Get it out and use it IMMEDIATELY.  Go on!  Do it!

Look what I did nextsewing stuff 004

Even finer, even closer together.  OMG I need to make several hundred pintucked garments with ruffles and millions of buttonholes.  Just as well the missus wants a whole fleet of shirts…

Just to compare the 2 sets lol

I’m rather liking the black stitching as well.  Oooh design design…pintucked inserts in full sleeves?  Pintucked inserts everywhere?  I think so.

I also taped together a huge pile of pdf patterns ready for some ‘normal’ clothes making.sewing stuff 006

Finally, just to entertain you, here’s Madame Vita being cat-shamed by the wife:

She doesn’t look like she’s bovvered does she?  [PS, I’m ‘daddy’ lol]

  1. LOL I have tried cat shaming and I have no evidence that my cat or grandcat care one bit what I think! On the plus side they don’t hold grudges either.

    I love pintucks and I need to figure out how to incorporate them.

  5. Oh, that’s what that thing is? I have a Husqvarna treadle machine, which is currently in hiding under a big stack of fabric (I so need to tidy my sewing room, maybe that’s a task for today?). It has a lot of attachments which I have no idea how to use, but this one looks familiar.

  6. It’s really cool- I had to watch a couple of YouTube vids first to see what it actually does. You set the tuck width, and the gap between with 2 screws, then as you sew the tuck, it makes a lovely crease in the right position for the next tuck, perfectly spaced, and you just snip off, fold the fabric, and do the next one. Fast and easy! I desperately need a shirt with tucked sleeves, and some more drawers, and a petticoat or three….

  7. I’m envious. Your beautiful machine producing those lovely pin tucks ! You absolutely can’t beat a simple white pin-tucked shirt imo. The Colin Firth/{insert appropriate object of desire} as Mr Darcy coming out of the lake in Pride and Prejudice kind of shirt. Have fun!
