The Simplicity 1948 shorts are getting closer to being ready. I have been doing a lot of topstitching. My singer 7470 hasn't let me down. I am surprised at how well it has been handling several layers of denim. I thought for sure I would have to use one of my vintage machines.
I did use a vintage machine to embellish a back pocket. I tried my Simplicity and my Brother embroidery machines, but I liked the style of letters poduced by my Singer 6268. This machine was made in the 80s. I thought it definitely evokes the 80s designer jeans look I wanted.

Thanks for stopping.
They look great. I can't wait to see them finished. All the attention to detail. Love the pocket & zipper
ReplyDeleteI have passed by those Singers in thrift stores and I won't do that again! That monogramming looks fantastic! Nice detail on the fly, too.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are looking good. Can't wait to see them finished up.

ReplyDeleteJamie's outfit looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe shorts look great! A word of caution on the Singer 7470, getting the timing fixed on that machine would be an expensive repair. Personally, I would use one of your all metal vintage machines for denim.
