Elastic shirring and you...

elastic shirring by machine looks ausome.

so i tried it.

and tried it.

and, tried it.

why not working? my computerized machine has served me so well!

but after three (yes, three) sewing episodes of not getting anywhere, and the internet not helping me out, i found a site that said that drop-in computerized machines can't do it b/c they have automatic bobbin tension. Great for literally everything else i sew, but doom to elastic bobbin thread.

however, i happen to have my old machine (didn't know what to do with it, kept it as a "spare")... i oiled and cleaned it, and after a few adjustments, works like ausome!

Oooooh, so much shirring I shall do...

and now, to get back to the task at hand, rose's garb!

sewing, craft
