Make It Sew Sewing Machine Review
The Make It Sew sewing machine is a miniature sized 2 speed with top and bottom thread stitching, uses bobbins. It can run on 4 AA batteries or electric, and has a hand on/off switch or foot pedal option. The foot pedal creates more variable speed control for turning, corners, or designs. It does a basic single stitch only. I bought this machine at a thrift store in its original box and with all the accessories included, as shown in the picture. I was able to get the machine running in a very short time and make some basic practice stitching with it, but the problem I believe is with the instruction manual which is written in poorly translated chinese and was not too helpful. I had a vintage book here called Readers Digest Complete Guide To Sewing which had the information in it to help me get the machine working, thankfully. So I will be using this small machine to learn on since I have minimal experience with actual sewing machines. I feel that it is a nice item and will enjoy using it. Thank you for reading my review :)

Sewing Projects For Beginners - 5 Easy Sewing Projects
Image : http://www.flickr.com
Are you intimidated by the very thought of sitting at a sewing machine and sewing? You're not alone. Whether it's concern over making a mistake while sewing, or being unfamiliar with how sewing machines work: you can learn to sew!
I have ideas for five (5) sewing projects for beginners that will help you become familiar with some basic skills needed in sewing, and will also allow you to easily produce your first sewing projects... items you can actually use!
1. Cloth Napkins: everyone is going 'green' these days, and using cloth napkins eliminates paper waste in landfills. Cotton fabric or a cotton blend works best for napkins.
2. Quilted Placemat: another 'green' project is reversible quilted placemats. Making quilted reversible cloth placemats is an eco-friendly way to bring customized decor to your dinner table. Whether a cotton or cotton blend, there is a near endless variety of fabric patterns and colors to choose from to match any decor.
3. Apron: sticking with the food/kitchen theme, sewing aprons is an easy project that can be used for more than just cooking. Aprons with pockets are great when you're sewing, to hold tape measurers and other tools used while sewing - or can be worn while cleaning to protect your clothing. Aprons can also be made more like smocks and used during painting or other messy craft projects.
4. T-shirt Dress: a quick and easy dress using a purchased t-shirt and material to make the skirt. Great for girls of all ages. As t-shirts come in a huge variety of colors, best to start with the skirt fabric and select a coordinating t-shirt color. Your skirt can be very full and gathered, or can be more A-line and straight. So this simple project is good for any body type and the skirt can be made whatever length you desire.
5. Long Jean Skirt: convert a pair of blue jeans easily into a long jean skirt with minimal sewing and no fitting! Cut open the leg of the jeans at the inner leg seam, and sewing in another piece of fabric (or use legs from another pair of jeans as the fill fabric - great way to recycle those too-tight jeans;) to fill in the space and make it a skirt.
The key to learning to sew is to ease into projects, grasping and learning the basic sewing skills as you gradually increase the complexity in what you choose to sew.
You can learn to sew! Check out Sewing Projects for Beginners for your next project idea.

Discover the Joy of Sewing by Accident
Image : http://www.flickr.com
The saddest day in my life was the day we took Nans to the nursing home.
It was a week later when the family gathered at 514 Church street where my grandmother lived for 45 years. Our mission, remove furniture, repair and paint walls so we can rent or sell the house.
We were informed by uncle Bill that if we wanted anything take it. But, aunts and uncles had first right if approval. It was important to me to find something to remember Nana by. I waited my turn with tears in my eyes and finally picked up several small items.
Two days later, for a reason I did not understand, my father came by my home with an old sewing machine. One I had seen, but shown no interest in, at Nana's home. I opened the drawers of the oak cabinet and discovered that I was the proud owner of a 1910 Singer sewing machine. I know this because I found the original manual.
I had absolutely no interest in sewing I saw no need to make something I could buy at the Mall. Besides, why go to the trouble of making a dress that would be out of style next season.
It took two months to find a job for my new Singer. It was a simple hemming job that took me two hours to complete. What an enjoyable experience it was.
and the sense of accomplishment was overwhelming. I was hooked.
My first project was the little black dress, a 1920s design by Coco Chanel.
It is still in style to this day. My next several projects were variations of the little black dress in other colors,some with matching jacket.
My love for sewing started three years ago. I have since purchased a modern sewing machine. I stayed with Singer because my first served me well. My new machine came with many great features, some of which I still have not used, but I will.
I sometimes use the 1910 Singer, but I consider it an antique, an oak and iron work of art.It still functions as it did when it was new 100 years ago.
I have become that girl who is a good cook and makes her own clothes. Nana would be proud.

Sewing Machines That Are Best For You!
Image : http://www.flickr.com
Clothes play a big part in showing who we are in the community, as unique individuals. We wear and buy clothes according to their style, price and most especially their durability. Like the old cliché, "We are what we wear!" Often times smart consumers look after clothes worth purchasing for, but nevertheless sometimes it is inevitable to be attracted to the latest fashion which makes us become an impulsive buyer. Encouraging the public to buy simply because it is the current fad, leaves the durability of the product out of their consideration. Thus, when these clothes are worn out, repair is essential especially to those who are in a tight budget.
Sewing is basically done for both functional and decorative reasons, such as mending ripped clothing or linens as well as doing embroidery. But as we all know sewing manually is not that easy. Normally people do not know how to do it properly. It is more complicated if it has a difficult pattern. These are the common problems we usually encounter when it comes to sewing.
In the sewing industry Brother Sewing Machines are of great prominence. Making their sewing machines noted as proficient and price efficient. Giving the consumers a wide range of models to choose from, they offer the best quality machines at a reasonable price. These machines are very functional. They make sewing easier and produce excellent results. With their advanced features that would perfectly fit to your needs, it makes designing and other needlework more fun. You can mend anything you like, allowing you to practice your creative juices.
They have wide array of sewing machines that soothe every preference of the client. Brother Sewing Machines have delicately produced these machines to assure that every home owner gets the best out of their money, something he can consider as a worthwhile investment. No more manual sewing. Being stylish is not that hard, you can express your own style by making several one-of-a-kind pieces. Although you can buy expensive clothes, you can also try to upgrade yourself and dare to be different. Open your storage room, filled with old clothes and begin experimenting on their styles with the help of your sewing machine. Design them and look for ways on how to make them glamorous and usable.
Repairing is wiser and convenient for us to do instead of buying new clothes every now and then. And if saving is one of your priorities at these times, then it is wise to buy something that really works and would last the test of time. Being stylish does not really have to wear expensive clothes. Sometimes it depends on how the person carries what he is wearing. Regardless of how simple the design is, if the person has enough self confidence on what he wears, he can easily get away with it. Stick to what is necessary and versatile, classic yet fashionable! Always remember the very famous line of most fashion gurus, less is more. So make sure to heed their advice if you do not want to look like ridiculous.

How To Use a Die Cut Machine
Image : http://www.flickr.com
Die cut machines can lead to many great projects, and the best thing is, they're really easy to use. Recently my maid of honor used her die cut machine to make adorable bird-themed cards for my bridal shower (thank you again, Kristin!) It took her a while to assemble them (sorry again), but everyone who RSVP'd loved them!
Even if you're not an avid card maker, there's plenty of fun to be had with die cut machines. Embellish a lampshade for your bedroom, fashion a fabric flower headband or make a hang-up decoration to add some life to the living room.
There are nearly endless possibilities, but here are a few ideas to get you started:
Scrapbooking
When I think of these machines, scrapbooking is one of the first things that comes to my mind. If you've ever put together a scrapbook, you know how much time and effort it takes to create just one page. When I made my first scrapbook for my boyfriend, I cut out every piece by hand. Had I owned a die cut machine, I'm sure I would have saved a few days worth of time - and my pieces wouldn't have been so crooked. Such machines have tons of different shapes and letter cut outs. To start your scrapbook page, all you have to do is decide the theme of the page and find the font and shapes from the die cut machine that you want to use. Paper and color choice is up to you, but the perfectly cut shapes and letters make every page look professional and clean - even if you're a beginner.
Cardmaking
For any holiday, party or event, there's a shape that will help you build a professional looking card. Really all you need to make a basic card is a die cut machine, card stock and some glue. For a more festive card, glue buttons or ribbon bows on top of the die cuts. Feeling fancy? Throw in some glitter, too! Making your own cards really lets you have complete creative control.
Home Decor/Center Pieces
These machines are also great for making lasting works of art for your home. Have pieces of die cuts left over from another project? Take your favorites and arrange them in a frame that matches your house. This project framed seven owl cuts in different colors to create a cute wall hanging. In addition to wall hangings, you can also create great centerpieces using die cuts. Make ten or more fabric flowers using die cuts and place them in your favorite vase. With no need for water or worrying about wilting, fabric flowers make a beautiful decoration that will last as long as you want!
Embellish Everything!
Since many machines are strong enough to cut tougher materials like fabric and leather, you can use their shapes to spruce up almost anything. Just finished sewing a beautiful blouse, but feel like something's missing? Take some flower die cuts and sew them together to create a ruffle effect. Layer different colored dies and sew them onto a plain apron to give it more pizazz. From a wedding dress to a lamp shade, it's easy to give every day items a little more spunk!
Before you go out and buy your machine, remember that they're not all the same. Do some research before you make your purchase to determine which machine and accessories are best for you. Happy crafting!

Advantages Of A Small Sewing Machine
If sewing is your profession, you may want to buy a sewing machine but if you enjoy sewing and intend to use one in the household chores that arise from time to time, a small sewing machine should be the choice of the day. Even as the saying goes, " good things come in small packages" the best ones, with the most efficiency, come in compact sizes.
Even a lack of space in your home shouldn't be able to stop you from buying a small sewing machine; you can tuck them virtually anywhere, especially the hand held ones. In fact these little powerhouses come in two settings, cordless and otherwise, so you can think of them as your electric shaver, carry able virtually anywhere and ready to use in a flash.
Since your machine is a tiny and compact model, you wouldn't have to worry about the power outlet being near, in case your model is not cordless, theyare so light weight as a rule, that if the well don't walk to the sheep, the sheep most certainly can.
Despite it being a miniature size, you will find your small sewing machine to be more than a match for your requirements. Short of some really heavy duty sewing, for which your machine is definitely not made for, you will find your small machines more than adequate.
Another most attractive fact about these products is the great price tag they come with, you will find buying one easily manageable for your budget. A small sewing machine usually costs a fraction of the price you would normally have to pay if you wanted to buy a regular size.
These little wonders are very task specific and it would not be a very great idea to introduce these to a child learning to sew, a machine specifically built for kids would rather be recommended in that case.

Pop-ularize Your Products With Pop Up Canopies
Image : http://www.flickr.com
If you are planning on organizing a trade show or an outdoor event, use pop up canopies to protect your products from the elements and storage. These easy-to-assemble and dissemble canopies will make the process less hectic for your personnel.
Pop Up Canopies: Features
Typically, pop up canopies are available in varied sizes ranging from 5'x5'-10'x20'. These canopies have two components, the frame and the top. The frame may be constructed of metal, steel or aluminum. Steel frames are heavier, but are less expensive than aluminum frames. Also, steel frames last longer since they do not rust easily. Aluminum frames are convenient to be carried around because they are generally lightweight metal.
Most canopy tops are made of Oxford polyester, a fabric rated in denier units. While buying, ensure that the denier rating of the fabric is 500 because a rating above this number will increase weight without adding any value to the material.
A straight-leg canopy is generally preferred to a slant-leg one because the former offers a square footage from the leg base to the top. A 10x10 straight-leg canopy would provide 100 square feet of shade. A 10x10 slant-leg canopy would offer only 80 square feet of shade which is approximately 20% less square footage, as compared to straight-leg canopy.
Pop Up Canopies: Additional Advantages
Pop up canopies are versatile; meaning that they can be used with, or without walls. At a trade fair, a canopy without walls would indicate that you wish that potential customers to freely walk into the tent. A canopy with walls proves useful in detrimental weather conditions.
These canopies can be customized to display logo graphics and colors of your choice. Some commercial companies manufacture canopies using silk screening to print messages or designs on canopy tops and walls. This will help to increase you brand visibility at any event. Not only at corporate events, these canopies are preferred for bonfire parties and beachside weddings due to their fire-retardant and water-resistant properties.
Generally, the material of a canopy is durable and possesses an inherent rip-stop quality which ensures that a slight tear will not cause a bigger rent in the tent. A UV ray blocking material proves especially useful during sporting events or the farmer's market in the summer months.
Buy these canopies from http://www.canopymart.com and avail the benefit of selecting from the best brands at most reasonable prices.
At CanopyMart.com, we offer the highest quality pop up canopies including Caravan Canopies, KD Canopies, canopy accessories & more at the lowest wholesale price to the public.
