The ReMakers #ReMade Challenge 2019

This year I participated in the ReMakers #ReMade Challenge. Sort of. I did about half of the challenges. 

I posted videos on my YouTube Channel.

I just applied to be a part of the Renegade Seamstress's Refashioned Runway Season 5. Wish me luck! If I don't make it I think I will follow along and do the challenges, so stop back when they announce the contestants on Jan. 11, 2020.

Here is a video from the challenge.



 

Thread an Industrial Pfaff 563 Sewing Machine

I made a video about threading my Pfaff 563 by request. I also talk about the bobbin winder on the machine because that is what the question was initially about. I feel really bad because I ignored a request from the same person for quite a long time. I'm kind of embarrassed that I don't use it! I've always wound the bobbins on the domestic Pfaff because they share the same bobbins and even the bobbin cases are interchangeable.

So as much as this video did turn out, it isn't what I planned. I tried to do a whole tutorial. But it seems that my phone doesn't want to take long videos. Maybe it is the remote thing that starts and stops the video hands free. Anyway, its something I need to figure out. I also have to research how people get a good view of the sewing surface of the machine. I haven't found a spot with a good view that doesn't get in the way of the sewing. Forward march! Not giving up :)

Replace an Invisible Zipper in a Dress

So again the tech isn't my strength. I had a glitch where the internal memory ran out before I was finished sewing the zipper into the dress. Its OK I have to get a better view of what I'm doing anyway.
