Rainy Days of Garden Harvests, Cooking, Sewing and Growing Our Own Food

[@ecovillagefinder]

So much connection in practice, not just talk about it. They are living it, so a nice mindset.

[@jonas7298]

The videos give a very positive image of life in a real and relaxing world. The truth is that it is always good to return to nature and enjoy every moment of life, enjoy it to the fullest. No to wars, no to global hypocrisy.

[@1925garden]

I admire Anastasia's mechanical abilities in getting the old sewing machines working, and I love the creativity of making her own beautiful clothes using worn or discarded items. And having your own aesthetic that comes from within is so much better than copying "trends."

Vinegar removes rust as well. I found a pair of sheers buried in my garden. They were a clump of rust. I submerged them in Vinegar and they came out still sharp

[@davidarmstrong3564]

The old tablecloth became a sublime creation. Well done!

[@davidprice1356]

Your family and love of the land is truly admirable. As old as I am and as progressive I think I am, when I watch your videos I strive to do much more in my own way. Plant a tree for the future. Make the footprint you leave do no harm and benefit the coming generations.

How much cold hard cash did these girls inherit to live like this? Do both of them own a car?

[@andybrown6288]

Try soaking rusty parts in vinegar, its slow but I have removed far more rust than on your machine. I love your life and look forward to videos with joy. Cannot wait for your book. Thankyou so much for sharing your wealth with us.

[@Fatimasroots]

Watching your childlike selves plant that little tree gave me tremendous joy, thank you so much for sharing the beautiful important work of yours🌿 inspired now to go off and film my own nature video!🌺 I hope you all have a lovely day

Hello Anastasia. I love the videos you, Mom, and Julia make. I look forward to them every Sunday. I might be able to help you with your tiny sewing machine problems. Since I am very mechanically inclined with a shop of my own, here are a couple possible solutions. Living in the middle Atlantic portion of the United States, we can get some brutal heat and humidity in the late spring through September, and yes, humidity it a problem here, too. Your Needles: 1. Try doing a Google search for the needle(s) you need. It may required a lot of searching, but that is one place to start. Also in your Google search, try to see it the manufacturer of the machine is still in business. Though it is an old machine, you never know if the company is still in operation or whether they can refer you to some place that has parts. 2. A more drastic method: Since you tried to get one of your needles into your machine, if the length is the only problem,, take a pair of wire cutters, cut/snap off a little bit of the top of the needle at a time to make it fit. Only do this if there is a screw to hold the needle in place. The Tension Problem-Lost screw: 1. Anastasia, I believe what you are looking for is a NUT, not a screw or a bolt to push the spring up or down. 2. You will have to see if in your collection of stuff, your can find the nut, and if it looks like it is going to fit, you absolutely must look a threads on the tension post (lack of a better term I can come up with) and the inside of the nut to see if the threads are either fine or course threads. 3. Course nuts/bolts are called Stove nuts and bolts. However, if the threads are fine, it is a Machine screw or Machine nut. Rust Issues: 1. WD40 will not solve the rust issue alone. For the outside of the case, you can use WD40 with extra fine sand paper. If you can get it, purchase Emery cloth as it will not fall apart (180, 220, 280, on up for the grit). (It is a cloth with imbedded grit material.) 2. For your internal parts that are rusting, I would suggest the same as in number one above, or use fine or extra fine steel wool (NO Soap Pads) with WD40.. Try to get as many of the internal parts out of the sewing machine, and at the least, place some machine oil on them. Do not use motor oil, as it is too thick. 3. Wipe off all of the grit and dirt from the parts and then place some oil on the parts, put back together and see it that solves the problem. 4. Since you live in the rain forest, you are going to have to protect the machine from wetness. Try to find a large plastic storage container that has a locking or sealing top. You will have less aggravation later, and you will not have to do much maintenance in the future. And of course, do not use the mini-sewing machine on rainy or humid days. You would be asking for trouble. 5. Finally, once you have removed the rust on the outside casing, wipe everything clean and free of any oily residue, and paint it. If available, get Rustoleum primer or similar, and Rustoleum Exterior high gloss enamel paint. You may have to use 2 coats of each to keep the rust down. Remember to very light sand between coats to get the finish smooth. Anastasia, if you try any of these things and they are successful, please leave a reply. I would really like to hear it on video or to read it in a posting., especially if you have any success. Best wishes!

[@leonshelton4282]

About rust removal, if no one has suggested it, white distilled vinegar works, just soak the rusty parts in the vinegar, usually overnight and then some steel wool to wipe it down with.

[@jamesbrown8718]

You both are such amazing young women, I don’t think their is anything you can’t do. From fixing broken things, growing things out caring for animals. You give them such a beautiful life. You all use them to know when it’s going to rain, or the weather changes. You live such a beautiful life, so peaceful, beautiful, majestic, and magical for sure. Just looking across the mountains and seeing ask the beauty is truly breath taking. I love your videos and look forward to each one of them every week.

Ah, I just moved my completed compost also. I took the guinea grass and copper top weed and kitchen scraps to make it. Now it forms a herb garden beneath the frangipani and a ghost gum that I rescued from a neighbour's overzealous lawn mowing. The curl grubs made a feast for currawongs and curlews , who keep now returning to the shadow of the compost circle, in the hope of more. I am still waiting on mulberries as the tree recovers from termites and I am watching my mangos grow slowly. 🌸

[@theodorehowe2262]

Anastasia, try using some fine steel wool to remove the rust from your miniature sewing machine. The refurbished top you created is beautiful and fits you well. Always a pleasure seeing the great work you both do.❤❤

[@jasonsumma1530]

I was thinking of steel wool as well but was too afraid of it scuffing the metal\finish. It probably depends on how fine of steel wool she uses.

[@sorellman]

A significant statement: "... can fashion ever be sustainable?" ... "I think that the answer is no, because fashion only exists under capitalism." Could not agree more. Many of our problems as a civilization are created by the fact that our actions and our goals are more often than not dictated by an induced obsession with making a profit. To give an example everyone is familiar with today, we could have had access to free, non-polluting, inexhaustible energy if Nikola Tesla would have built his tower in Long Island, New York. When the investors realized that free energy meant no profit, they stopped funding the project, and Tesla was forced to abandon it. Money, capital-ism, is the root of the mentality that everything goes only if it generates a profit. That is very detrimental to our communities and to Mother Nature, and we are not where we could have been had we taken a different path. The videos put together by these wonderful humans convey a deeper message to our civilization. It is for us to uncover it and then live our lives according to that.

[@rickdworsky6457]

If you use vinegar, be sure to wash it off completely with water and them neutralize with baking soda, or it may rust out the whole thing. Then apply oil. If well oiled, humidity won't be a problem. Have a friend in muggy Florida who lived in a house with no air conditioning for 40 years and they had manual treadle sewing machines in use through the year. You might be able to adapt regular manual sewing needles designed for leather with a thread hole at the tip. Fantastic videos, always a joy to watch! Keep up the kindness and wonder!

[@frankpristov9745]

Using rust converter from Bunnings will definitely help to remove rust and prime the metal for paint. Installing a light in the bolt room will also help

[@Bonnyiceman]

I polish off rust, by hand, with 4xxxx steel wool. You could wrap it around a small screw driver to reach tiny spaces and corners in the metal. I finish by using an air compressor blow gun to clear the tiny particles from polishing. In this country we call the outside threaded portion of a fastener a 'bolt' and the inside threaded fastener a 'nut'. Using a 'washer' properly sized under the small nut to cover the diameter of the spring will compress it more efficiently than the nut by itself as you turn the nut and contact the spring. I admire your determination and vision for the tiny machine.

Put the rusty metal parts in double strength vinegar. Make sure they are completly covered. May take a few days. Keep checking and use a small hard bristle brush to scrub off rust. Then polish.

[@Muddleyt]

I think you’re struggling to find a bolt for your machine because it already has one. I think it’s a nut you need 😃 and WD40 probably isn’t the best thing to use; it isn’t a lubricant and was developed for the American space program, to stop things freezing up at launch. You need a decent lubricant. Really enjoy your channel btw. Thanks.

Your accomplishments and content bring feelings of peace, serenity and the joys of simplicity . It s wonderful to see . I love the old fashioned ways. Ty. Ps Rust Oleum works well but be careful with chemicals ! You can also use white vinegar or ketchup by first spraying soapy water on them to clean the grease of then submerging the rusted metal parts in either for 4-6 hours (look for the bubbles coming off the parts to see it working ) then remove the parts and wipe them re- submerge them in baking soda and water to neutralize the acids then remove and wipe clean and spray lightly with grease and wipe regularly to prevent re-rusting . White lithium grease is great to keep parts moving well too besides WD-40 🙂

Soak the rusty parts in a vinegar solution. There's plenty of information online.

[@TheBoabby50]

Anastasia, Try soaking the rusted parts in vinegar after sanding then lightly with steel wool to abrade the surface. Worth a try, but if successful, remember to oil again as a sealer. Good Luck

[@charlyandrew1]

Yes, Yes, Yes... regeneration is key. You may want to try "rust converter", some brands remove the rust and put a protective coating onto the metal.

I like this idea but I wonder if the ladies even have things like ketchup. The times I see them cook, they don't typically use things like condiments unless it is avocado they pick. It is possible they could have the white vinegar though.

Read a bit about removing rust with vinegar. It works marvelously as I have seen recently by restoring some old and valuable machinists clamps. I soaked my parts for two days and the rust had fallen to the bottom of the container.

Auction sites and sales tends to generally sticks to your area. If the machine needs parts in other countries your search engine may need to change. Also the AI for identifying things that don't have part numbers might give that a try.
