Tips n Trik Menjahit Rapi

Buat pemula bukan hal mudah untuk menjahit lurus dan rapi. Seperti halnya orang belajar mengendarai mobil pertama kali, ini biasa disebabkan oleh koordinasi antara kaki menginjak pedal dengan tangan yang mengarahkan dan otak sebqgai komandannya yang belum sinkron.

Tapi jika ketiga element di atas sudah  mampu berkoordinasi dengan baik, InsyaAllah tikungan tajam pun (istilah ini cukup populer terutama bagi para crafter bag maker untuk menyebut lengkungan) akan mudah dihajar. 

Berikut beberapa tips bagi pemula agar jahitan rapi.

1. Perhatikan garis kampuh. 

Alih-alih mata menatap jarum, perhatikan tepi bahan dengan garis kampuh yang tertera di plat.

2. Jika mesin jahit bagian platnya tidak ada garis penanda kampuh, perhatikan sisi tepi sepatu. Dia harus tetap selaras, mau pas atau sedikit berjarak--dengan tepi bahan.

3. Pegang bahan dengan tangan kiri, sedangkan tangan kanan berfungsi mengarahkan agar tetap lurus. Sesuai kampuh. Alih-alih memegang cenderung menahan seperti yang biasa dilakukan penjahit pemula 

4. Pilih panjang jahitan (stitch length) kecil. Misal 2. Karena jika 3 atau 4 mesin cenderung jalan ngebut. Sedangkan kalau 1 terlalu pelan.

5. Injak pedal pelan dahulu sampai tangan dan kaki menemukan ritme yang seimbang.

6. Pakai alat bantu magnet seam allowance kalau perlu. Untuk membatasi kampuh sesuai yang diinginkan.

7. Kalau perlu, tandai (gambari/garisi) bagian yang hendak dijahit. 

8. Berlatih dengan kain katun atau jenis lain yang tidak terlalu sulit dijahit. Hindari berlatih dengan kain yang bersifat licin atau melar semisal satin, tile, atau spandek.

Demikiam tips bagi pemula yang baru belajar menjahit. Kesabaran adalah kunci. Dan percayalah, jika kita sudah bisa, niscaya akan ketagihan. Mau jahit terus dan terus dan terus...😉

Menull , Scrap Patchwork Crossbody Bag Tutorial

The idea is ​​to use linen scraps in a patchwork. And I want to transform it into a simple bag, but I don't want a box and rounded as well in shape. Then I decided to cut the lower part, becoming a flat shape. Finished dimension (LengthxHeightxWidth) 18cmx17cmx6cm (7 1/8"x6 6/8"x2 3/8")

Considering the simplicity of making a pattern and how my friends will download it easily, I design the dimension that fits in A4 paper. You can download the pattern here

This crossbody bag can function as handbags and purses because I put handles on top of it.

Spruce up the patchwork of linen, I sewed with the help of thin print paper to combine them. Only after that did I tear the paper, then cover the wrong side of it with fusible interlining. 

On the first try, I used suede fabric as a combination of the main exterior (btw, now I use this term instead of outer). Handle I insert a layer of eva foam with the intention of its being upright. But for the crossbody strap, I didn't insert the interlining.

Using the reverse technic as, usual, I use a vislon zipper so that it can be opened with two sliders right and left.

I also add a pocket with a magnetic button on the back part and for the lining, I Add a zipper pocket. I used a small magnetic button. 1,2 cm diameter.

The materials we need: 1. Main Exterior: - 20x18 cm fabric cut 2 - 20x18 cm interlining cut 2 - 20x13 cm fabric cut 2 for pocket - magnetic button 1,2cm diameter 1 set 2. Lining - - 20x18 cm fabric cut 2 - 20x13 cm lining cut 2 for pocket - zipper 13cm 1 pc - 25,5x8 cm fabric for base 3. Recessed Zipper - 35x 6 cm cut 2 - 35x2,5 cm cut 2 - 25,5x8 cm fabric for base - zipper 35cm 1 pc 4. Handle and straps - 35x6 cm cut 1 - 33x2 cm cut 1 for interlining - 130x6 cm cut 1 for long strap - 4x8 cm cut 2 for oval ring connector 5. Accesories - oval (or D) ring 2 pcs - swivel hook 2 pcs - slide buckle 1 pc - piping cord 56,5 cm cut 2 - bias tape 3x 60 cm cut 2

For the second occasion, I make it with a combination of linen and synthetic leather. I use cotton for the lining. and for the main exterior, I used t103 which was sewn directly including the seam. While in the video tutorial, I just insert an eva foam between the main exterior and lining. and it has not to include sea allowance.

For shortened the duration of the video tutorial, I created and uploaded the making of the strap first. you may watch it

How do I feel after seeing the photos? Happy !!! As I expected. Alhamdulillah.
