Sewing Quick Tip:
Stitching Slippery Fabrics
When stitching slippery fabrics like satin or silk, if you find your fabric shifting out of place as you sew or the top layer shifting ahead of the lower layer, try hand-basting your fabric together first.

Sewing Quick Tip:
Sewing through elastic:
Just as you would with any stretchy fabric, remember to use a ballpoint or stretch needle in your machine when sewing through elastic. This will help prevent skipped stitches.

Sew wheelchair and walker accessories
with this collection of 18 wheelchair and
walker bag patterns gathered from all over
the web.
And after you've sewn your bag and given
it to its recipient, just make sure to advise
him or her against placing heavy items in
the bag or too many items in it at once. A
bag that's too heavy could cause the
walker to become unstable and potentially
tip over.
And consider using a heavier fabric for
your bag like a cotton canvas or even
denim. You'll end up with a more durable
finished bag that will likely last longer. And
when sewing a heavier fabric like this, just
remember to use a thicker denim needle in your sewing machine, which will pierce through your
heavier fabric more easily and without breaking.
If, however, you have your heart set on a lighter-weight fabric for your bag, you can back your
fabric pieces with fusible interfacing for added strength or add a lining to the bag to make it
extra durable (to add a lining, cut the same pieces from your lining fabric as your bag fabric and
just sew the two layers together as if they’re one piece).
