Hand Sewing A Tunic

Image
Greetings to my Titus 2 sister saints! Brother Jim and I took some time to make a couple videos on men's tunics, how to buy the materials and sew / modify them by hand.  You can find the videos HERE on our main ministry website. I hope to have a full sewing (by machine) video to add to it, soon, and will let you know when it's there. (Just an FYI, godly men should dress in tunics just like godly women should dress in long, unadorned dresses with headcoverings.  To do otherwise is sinful and one is a transgressor of the law.)  We've had a lot of requests from men on this subject so praise God, it seemed like now is a great time to do it all.  We pray it is a blessing to those who are seeking to be biblical in all ways. May God be praised in all our works unto Him sisters.  We saints, born from above, are here to do His works, sharing the GOSPEL that brings life and to shine our light unto those on the outside so they may see and come into the light.  Verily, verily, I say

New Skirts and Simply Sharing

Love and greetings to our sister saints!  I came to solve a problem for some of you:-)  Well maybe :-)  If you are looking for some skirts, I know just the right place to get them.  Check out the two I received (back when we were at the homestead for our break) and I can't be happier with them so I wanted to share with you!  They came from the sewing sister I've written about before. Her and I discussed the option of a few more in the future and instead of elastic, making them with a draw string as that seems to work best for me.  She does a great job and can tweak her patterns to adjust for some changes.  You can see her etsy shop HERE .  The shipping is not as bad as you think and we would rather  support the business of a true sister in the Lord when possible.   I've posted about other items she's sewn for me (aprons, curtains and organizers for the van and some purses) , you can see that HERE with another link inside that post. Praise God for sisters who are dilige

How to Modify A Shirt (with video)

  Good day sisters!   Maybe it's morning when you read this:-)  A sister saint (thank you) made this picture (and one below) and I thought it was a good greeting for you all.  I'm thankful to be able to have some time to do some Titus 2 duties: sewing projects and get ready for our next trek down the road, Lord willing.   I made a couple videos of of my sewing that I thought might be helpful to some of you.  The first one is a quick way to make a large neck on a shirt, smaller so that it doesn't bag out on you. Next I have a longer video that shows how I modified a few different things on a shirt that I got from the thrift store.  It was too big for blogger to put here so it's in our ministry page HERE .  For those who don't have a sewing machine, they can be purchased for a reasonable price or you can hand sew like I have done on the road.  (I've hand sewn brother Jim's tunics on the bed in the van, yep anything is possible:-) I'll be honest with you si

Sewing A Pocket on a Shirt (Upcycling with Video)

 Greetings sister saints! Let's be thankful for this day and extra thankful for the blessing of health that allows us to fulfill our Titus 2 duties as godly women!  Praise God for creating us for good works... For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10) Let us walk in a manner worthy of our Savior's name. Ephesians 4:1-7  I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;  Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.  There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, [6] One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.  But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

Sewing and Sowing Sisters

Good evening sister saints!   I may have already titled something like this but I don't care,(yep I see one titled sort of like this one lol)  the title doesn't matter just like the wrapper doesn't matter on a gift.  It could be a good wrapper or one that's plain but it's the intent and love behind it right? (Thank you faithful sister for 'sowing' the gifts of scripture pictures for all the sisters to be edified.) I know some of you sisters can sew very well so I like to lift up those who can and do it as a service to others!  What a blessing to be able to do such things for others who cannot.  (I can get by but that's about it so I appreciate the skills the Lord has given you sewing sisters.)  Anyway I want to share some sewing that a sister did for me again . Had to go to the post office to pick up my package.     My other curtains were getting very worn and, well, I hemmed them with safety pins on the road lol.  These are much lighter weight, easier t

Sowing and Sewing

 Good day to my sisters who are all over the world! Just the other day brother Jim was telling someone how the saints  are scattered and I was thinking how awesome that is that God has His diligent workers sharing the truth in their part of this earth.  What a glorious God to allow us to first of all be partakers of this precious gift and second, give it out and be a light to those around us. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (2 Peter 1:2-4) I titled this sowing and sewing because both are important.  Without sewing we would be naked and without sowing we wouldn't be planting

 Good evening sisters! How was your day?  I thought I'd share a bit of my day with you.  I'm enjoying my Titus 2 duties on our homestead life for the short time we are here but it's all for preparation to go again. I hand washed more clothes then dug out my sewing machine to work on a few simple projects.   I had a shirt that I wanted to add a pocket to so I cut off a pocket from a junk shirt... And sewed it on.  Nope, the materials don't match and the color is a bit off but I don't care, I'm thankful to have a pocket:-) While I was out there I had a visitor:-) She kept coming and another one with some yearlings stopped by also.  It's hunting season here and I'm hoping they make it through.  (FYI we're not against hunting.) I had to take in the waist of a couple skirts so I decided to show you what I do. In between, something funny happened. And here I show you something else that might make you smile. I also thought I'd share a bit more about th
