On various machines there is lots of room for a tiny bit of tape to be on the needle, so that the tightener screw has something to bite into, as the needle shaft is to hard for this. Just a tiny bit of tape where the screw contacts is plenty.

Love that you did this with the children. I discovered sewing only 6 years ago and am now obsessed. My mom is a brilliant sewist but I never picked it up until I was an adult. Just thinking how the kids will be able to make their own clothes and items. I love everything I make; even the clunkers!

I believe I made these sleeves 10” Long, if you want them longer just add that length and continue. So, instead of 10” long, make them 20” king of that’s your desired length.

Came across your tutorial today as I have just sewn an open front jacket and wasn't planning to put any lining in it as it is made with a knit fabric. However, the style of the jacket has a curved front requiring the seams to be notched /clipped and the front facing/finishing piece is only 1.5 inches wide when sewn on. Not happy with how unfinished it looks so now I'm going to line it and already have the pieces ready to go. thank you for this well-present tutorial - it has been a big help in determining how to go about attaching it. The only thing I plan to do differently is to not stitch across the bottom hem. After the fronts and neckline are attached I will then turn it up and hand stitch that edge into place.

Quick question before I get started ... the front and back squares are supposed to be the full wrapped width? so if I measured at 46 inch I'd need to cut two pieces that are 69 inches wide?
@SewingWithMinaLolita11 ай бұрын
Your bust measurement x 1.5. For example bust 45x1.5= 67.5” /2= 33.75.. two squares cut of 33.75

I learned to sew from my grandmother eons ago. Using lace hem tape was a given for all garments. The only thing different she taught me was at each stitch through the fabric is to make a small knot in the lace tape.

@SewingWithMinaLolita Жыл бұрын
lace is light weight, so its ideal for using a light weight fabric. The hem was lengthened, so I used lace to give me the most length possible. If I had hemmed the traditional way I would have had to turn up at least an inch. It's also decorative. It can add a pop of color to the underside of a pair of pant when walking or sitting.
