My Favorite Sewing Weapon Against Lint











What does a pipe cleaner have to 
do with sewing?  Well, let me tell
 you, it's one of my favorite tools.

I discovered it years ago,  and have
 been using it ever since.


I'd love to share it with you!

That favorite tool of mine 
happens to be a pipe cleaner.

I use pipe cleaners to clean my 
sewing machines from lint that 
gathers into my machine from  the
fibers of the fabric while
I sew, quilt or craft.


  




It fits in all the nooks
and crannies of your machine, whether
it be a serger or a regular 
sewing machine.   I guess you
can use it for your belly button lint, 
too, haha, just kidding!






It's such a great tool.  Once you
go in and remove the lint from
your machines, you just wipe
off the lint on your pipe
cleaner and you can
reuse that pike cleaner 
over and over.


  
  



So make a pipe cleaner part of your
sewing tools.  They don't cost
much and pipe cleaners
work great to get to those 
unreachable places of your 
sewing machines.


What's your favorite 
sewing tool?

He hath made every thing beautiful in His time

30/30 Sewing Challenge Week 2


March 18th - 30/30 Sewing Challenge





Here's my finished blouse for the 30/30 Sewing Challenge - March 18th!



              Picture                    In the next few steps I show you a few steps of  how I finished my goal for the 30/30 Sewing Challenge!30/30 Sewing Challenge/ Berry Barn Designs




This is the fabric and pattern I decided to use for my second project!  I choose a light weight fabric from my stash.  






 After cutting out my pattern pieces I began to sew front details of top!
 






I decided to make my seam allowance french seams.  You first sew wrong sides together, press seam, and then sew rights sides together to create your french seam.




I pinned the hems of my top and then sewed them my machine.




 I checked the fit!




Sleeves are hard to french seam so I decided to serger them to garment top.




Sewn the neck line and button on to blouse.




Here you have my second top I've made in a week.  Thirty minutes a day!  So wonderful!
