    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    That piece looks like it is hand embroidered although it's possible that it was worked on a Singer 107w102 (also called an Irish embroidery machine). The Singer Irish was an industrial free motion satin stitch machine.

    Best to get one from a sewing machine dealer and pay a little extra... you can get a complete machine that has been adjusted and serviced for under $1000. A lot of these machines are missing important parts and the parts are difficult to find.

    Thanks! The chainstitch embroidery machine takes a while to get the hang of. There is a handle beneath the machine that controls the presser foot which moves the fabric in any direction. This is referred to as "universal feed". It's a lot of hand eye coordination. Here are some more patches...

    I started making chainstitch embroidered patches. These were worked on my 1960's Singer 114w103 chainstitch embroidery machine.

    Thanks! That suit took about one month. The embroidery was done with a vintage Singer 114w103 chainstitch embroidery machine and the nearly 1000 rhinestones were hand set.

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    The details (pocket shape, cinch back and yoke shape) are based on a measurements that I took from a 1940's pair of cinch back jeans that I own. The rise on the original pair is in the neighborhood of 15"! That long of a rise looks somewhat comical on the modern body so I shortened the rise to...

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    Thanks! I've been selling them for $150. As for 40's & 50's styles I haven't specifically patterned anything like that but the rise on my jeans tends to be a bit longer than modern jeans and the legs are fuller. I can certainly make period correct jeans if you're interested.

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    Here are a couple of pairs of jeans that I've made recently. The first pair are made from 13 oz. Cone Mills selvedge denim and feature a cinch back and triple stitched yoke and seat seams. The second pair are made from 14.5 oz Japanese selvedge denim. This is the heaviest denim I've sewn...
