Eva the sewing historianI made a new dress from a 1970s table cloth today.<br> No pictures of the finished dress, because I had to leave for our Full Moon celebration before I could have any taken. <br> But you can see the trick tat I use when I need to gather a lot of fabric, especially if it's a stiffer fabric: zig-zag stitch over cotton yarn, and then pulling the yarn to gather the fabric. My mum taught me this . If you want very neat gathers you should go with the standard two rows of gathering stitches, and then sewing between them, but this is even enough for most projects. And no risk of breaking gathering threads.<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sewing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/reuse?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reuse</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/1970s?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#1970s</a>

The major thread of the story includes a psychologist and her sessions with a patient, which are <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/recorded" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>recorded</span></a>. Part of one is played back as part of a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/television" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>television</span></a> show, and onscreen during that <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/playback" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>playback</span></a> is an open-reel (aka reel-to-reel) <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/tape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tape</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/deck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deck</span></a> playing a tape.</p><p>1970s, open-reel recording - it's <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/retro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retro</span></a>, it's <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/cool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cool</span></a>, it's period-authentic, right?</p><p>I can't shake the feeling that whoever put the visual together has never actually seen an open-reel tape recorder in operation.

So the tape wraps onto the inner side of the takeup reel, and ends up "inside out".</p><p>There's also no tension arm on the supply side, and an apparent <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/tension" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tension</span></a> arm on the takeup side, but it's not actually in the tape path.</p><p>I don't think any machines were actually made like this, but I'm not an <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/expert" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>expert</span></a>.
