@dragonchild569 Жыл бұрын
agreed. it's often used to set in sleeves as well. you "ease" them into the armscye when the cap is very slightly larger or sometimes even when they are the same but the fabric is stiff or otherwise difficult to deal with. you don't actually see any gather but by doing the basting and small gather, it makes it much easier to fit the cap into the armscye.

I know the drill of having an appointment for fitting (when the garment is sewn from scratch) and then the seamstress would use her gadget to get the right length (a botte with chalk dust that is on a stativ and she puffed the line on).

Great advice for hemming jeans however there is a 2-sided tool called a “hump jumper”. I was taught the same as you regarding bias cut garments. The word you are looking for in the 3rd garment is “ease” you pull up the stitches to ease in the extra fabric just like set-in sleeves that are smooth without ruffling. I’m not trying to be a smart arse, I am a professional seamstress who has been sewing for 59 years😁 I think you’re doing a great job.

The English Word: Ease stitch. Commonly used for easing a sleeve cap into the top of the arm opening. matching the center & side notches. You stitch on the sleeve top between notches on pattern, do gentle gathering. Then put in the seam. Remove the gathering tread. This releases the gather & looks normal. This same technique is what you applied to the neckline with beautiful results! My one question would be if you shortened the straps while you have the neckline open in the front? Love your showing the alterations easily... and the ripping out is important for you to get in & do the work more easily. Awesome! Excellent tips Miss Downtown Tailoring! Like other comments... I learn different ways for sewing, even after years of experience.

Oh my, I love all of these tips the pocket one is my favorite so glad to learn it. Also, my machine came with a special piece I think it is called a"Jean-A-Ma-Jig" it works the same way as the button but seriously I am glad to learn the button that would be much easier than the Jean-A-Ma-Jig as always thank you you are going to be at 50,000 subscribers soon :)

Hi Evelyn!!! I’m so glad you learned some new tips here! My button back was actually inspired by the Jean-a-ma-jig but I was hoping to make it a little more accessible for everyone! Thank you so much for your kind support throughout all this time! Cheers! ❤️🥰

Your button trick can be done with any fabric that is thick. You're very clever. People don't want to pay for your labor, skill and knowlege so I appreciate your tricks.

This is superb. For the dress it called easing. Its also done sleeves. The fabric disappears like magic. Love your tips

You are a genius. I'm going to find my button jar right now!! Those thick seams have been my nemesis. I also like the pocket, taking in the side seam.
