Each day one of the members of our J&O Family has the inviting yet sometimes arduous responsibility of posting our ‘Sewing Tip of the Day ‘ for our fabulous facebook fans and twitter followers to view, comment on, and discuss. And while we enjoy being able to supply those little tid bits of info, every once and awhile we find ourselves seeking the same guidance and assistance from our community of seamstresses, tailors, designers, artisans, crafters and self-taught elders.
Just recently we posted a query on our J&O Fabric Store Facebook page asking our fans to share some of their worst sewing mishaps to date. While we expected the standard wrong sides put together and collars attached to sleeves issues, what we didn’t gander on were the amount of near amputations and close calls our stoic seamstresses were faced with as rotary blades skimmed finger tips and needles pierced thru flesh and nail. Makes one wonder just how safe is this historic hobby of many? So we took a little poll to see and this is what we found. All squeemish and faint of heart, vacate now….this could get kinda ugly!!
