Since you shared your surgical knot story, I have to tell you what my dad does. He's had to sew up a few of our tarps over the years and he swears he can fix it faster using a surgical clamp type thingy (sorry, I can't remember the exact name) than stitching it using only his hand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---a-niptuck-with-the-sewing-machine#post-1131890 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 21:39:06 +0000 lyn* 1131890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tee hee hee, very pretty, if they sit still. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---a-niptuck-with-the-sewing-machine#post-1131852 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 21:05:23 +0000 Raisin 1131852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I bet you sew the stitches on the patients reaaaaal pretty </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---a-niptuck-with-the-sewing-machine#post-1131846 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 21:02:12 +0000 Sara L. 1131846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good thinking!&nbsp; I can do basic repairs and hems with my sewing machine but I always procrastinate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---a-niptuck-with-the-sewing-machine#post-1131824 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 20:43:38 +0000 lyn* 1131824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do finish my hand sewing with a surgical knot </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---a-niptuck-with-the-sewing-machine#post-1131817 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 20:36:16 +0000 Raisin 1131817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job! &nbsp;Looks so pretty on you! &nbsp;I'm always in awe of your needle skills. &nbsp;Haha...I just realized that could be your sewing and doctor skills! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---a-niptuck-with-the-sewing-machine#post-1131800 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 20:18:44 +0000 lyn* 1131800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks!

I hope it looks okay too :)</p> <p>I guess my little $70 ikea machine has more than paid for itself! </p> <ul> <li>Blazer: Zara</li> <li>Dress: Ruby Belle</li> <li>Earrings: Ricki's</li> <li>Necklace: ModCloth</li> <li>Belt: Anthropologie</li> <li>Boots: Vintage Born</li> </ul>
