You can tell when I've done some sort of #rope event when I am washing multiple piles. This is me almost done preparing the first batch for washing. I #ChainStitch them so they don't tangle, and it helps protect the bight.

I get a little giddy when I'm able to use a good portion of what I am able to stuff into my backpack.

Anyway, I thought I should try doing some occasional posts going #BehindTheScenes and maybe even some of the failures, perhaps as a blooper reel of sorts. The intent is to offer a peek into some of the work that goes into my hobbies and maybe some insight into quirks. If you agree that this seems like a good idea, or have requests for certain types of behind the scenes posts, please do let me know. I thrive with feedback. πŸ’–

The fabric I want to use for my next Placidus piece has gone missing, so I've started a bit of random evening chain stitching...

What better way to spend the New Year's holidays than to finish up the off-white non-bleached sateen jacket I started some time ago. Attaching the sleeves with a double-needle chainstitch machine - one of the more difficult steps.

I'm gradually getting better at using the chainstitch machine. It takes quite a bit of practice.

The very last step - hemming!
For chainstitch hemming, I use my double-needle Union Special 51400CZ with one needle removed.
A little trick that works really well is to create a groove through which to guide the folded hem using magnetic strips.

I'm back home in Tokyo for just half a day! No time to waste to finish the sax blue denim and off-white pique jeans I started in Osaka.

Just got a handful of these sets left!

HAND-cranked on my vintage #chainstitch machine - vegan and (near-)zero waste and SO cute!
