DOES IT REALLY WORK?
Oliso iTouch Smart Iron TG1600 Pro Press
THE PROMISE Auto-Lift feature
This Oliso iTouch features an ‘auto-lift’ that is triggered when you let go of the handle, this raises the stainless-steel plate, which removes the danger of buring your clothing or ironing board.
THE REALITY
Sew Much More’s team tested this and it is brilliant! The auto-lift function, thanks to the handle sensor, was fantastic – NO MORE SCORCH MARKS! It even has added perks like continuous or variable steam output (which can tackle stubborn creases) and a vertical steam option (perfect for steaming curtains and clothing).

P R O J E C T Fabric-bound mesh pockets hold all the wonderful notions that make quick-fixes possible: the Snag Nab-it repairs snags in your fine knitwear, Rescue Tape closes a gap in a blouse or holds unsightly bra straps in place, needles and thread let you sew on a button or snap, Stitch Witchery lets you iron up a hem and a small pair of scissors will trim away loose threads or cut off price tags and labels. Add some snaps, hooks and buttons and you’re good to go! This pattern works well for a shoe care kit as well!
EMERGENCY
kit
This organizer holds everything you need to repair wardrobe emergencies quickly & easily.
1. Make a pattern for the organizer by tracing the shoulder area of the coathanger, and making a slight curve across the hook area. Make a line parallel to the hanger crossbar that is 12” down from where the hanger hook attaches. Sides should gradually slant in about ½” on each side. If hanger is 12” across the shoulders, the bottom edge should be 11” across. Gently round off the bottom corners. Make a separate pattern for the back of cut PATTERN the organizer that is 5” deep and has a “U” shaped curve to allow for the hanger hook. Place back pattern piece with bottom edge aligned along the selvage. Hold in place with pattern weights, trace with a Sharpie and cut out. Repeat with front pattern piece, keeping it on grain. From remainder of mesh, cut two pocket strips on the lengthwise grain, one 3 ½” wide and one 5 ½” wide. 2. For the binding, fold one corner of the fabric in at a 45° angle and cut the fold. Fold perpendicular to the cut edges, stacking all the cut edges.

4. Attach bias tape foot to machine. Insert bias tape into slots of foot. Pull under presser foot. Insert small curved edge of organizer back into slot. Stitch with a 3.0 length straight stitch. You may need to adjust needle position to catch both layers. Trim bias. Repeat for one long edge of each pocket strip. pin
5. Place two pins 5” down from top edge of organizer front, perpendicular to sides. Place a pin parallel to sides, 4” in from each side. Center 3 ½” strip with bound edge at 5” pin marks. Allow enough slack to make two 3/8” inverted pleats 4” in from each side. Sew a line of straight stitching from bottom of strip to top of binding. Make pleats on bottom edge, pin and stitch across bottom, ¼” from the bottom edge of pocket. Repeat for bottom pocket, making sure that the binding covers the bottom edge of the top pocket. trim
3. Cut 1 ½” wide strips. Join with a straight stitch, press seam allowances open and pull strips through a ¾” bias tape maker, pressing as you go. Thread machine with coordinating thread in needle and bobbin.

6. Trim edges. Apply binding to outside edges. Sew the first 10” of the binding without inserting the organizer. This will make the ties for the top bow. Insert the organizer from the center top edge. Keep the mesh tightly in the slot, teaching it who’s boss as you go around the corners. When you get back to the top, sew off another 10” of plain binding for the second tie.
VOILA! You’re ready for that sewing EMERGENCY!
