They retail for up to $600 per pair, having been made by a master with more than 80 years’ experience. Link in bio for the full story by Carolyn Webb. Photo: @wmtphotography | The Age

Create this on-trend look in just a few simple steps with your sewing machine: -Hand wind your bobbin with elastic thread -Place the elastic thread through your bobbin tension--you shouldn't need to make any adjustments -Bring the bobbin thread up through the needle plate -Test your stitch on some scrap fabric to make sure the stitch length and shirring is exactly how you want it to look -You may need to adjust your top tension, but you can usually make most adjustments with stitch length | Pfaf
