Sewing a Madeira Appliqué Hem on an heirloom garment

[@mregister3945]

Thank you for the clear instructions. I'll be sewing a Madeira Border on the bottom of my shower curtain in my main bathroom. 😊❤

[@jeannemarie9466]

Sara, I've said it before, & I will say it once more, BEAUTIFUL WORK. Clear instruction's, & so patient, we can tell. Thanks again! Beautiful!

[@leeannlott1800]

Beautiful. I have wondered about this look. Thank you.

Heirloom sewing was a field for old boring ladies, then uoy came and made it so modern again! Lovely!

[@TheJudeJane]

Hi again, Sarah. Jane here to let you know how much your detailed videos are appreciated. You are so talented, and it seems there is nothing you can't do, Wonder Woman!! Thanks for all of your hard work and making it appear effortless when it takes time and energy to share your gifts with us. Take care and God bless.

[@sarahclassicsewing]

you're the sweetest, thank you!

[@marshajohnston301]

Amazing! You’re my new sewing guru!

[@sewpink3998]

Hi Sarah! Years ago I attended a Martha Pullen School of Art Fashion. It was there I was first introduced to heirloom sewing. I had an amazing week there and learned so much! I learned how to do the shadow sewing there. This is a fantastic refresher for me. I am so honored to have found your channel.

[@sarahclassicsewing]

Yayyy thank you! Glad to have you here.

[@chrisb5391]

Nice to see you again. Hope you are settled in your new home. Peace and blessings.

[@classicbabywhites]

Thanks Sarah! This is one of those things I've wanted to learn for ages but it looked so complicated. LOVE your videos. LaQueta Canada

[@sarahclassicsewing]

[@maisonarness2685]

Love this! So glad to see a new video! I hope that all is well and y'all are settling into your new home fast!

[@sarahclassicsewing]

You should do this as collars on bubbles for your boys :-) Yupp, we are settling in and enjoying our new home. Thanks Maison :-)

[@ELCPAKansas]

Thank you Sara!! My first time watching and I will be watching again (and again!) Your very gentle southern accent just makes the entire video all the more pleasant. Excellent close ups and hints and tricks for this classic heirloom look.

[@tinalawrence4291]

Can I ask please where to find a blocking board like yours. I loved your video thankyou.

[@lauraallen6089]

I'm trying to find the link for the guide you used for drawing the scallops onto your fabric but don't see it.

[@TheMaggieMia]

I can see that future overtime will be buying me that pressing board, I hope I can make some of the printed lines work for larger sized doll clothing. I already know i will be adding to the neck/bishop neck sizing to go down to necks for dolls!

[@sarahclassicsewing]

Hey there Maggie, I think I saw a new one recently that had an 18 inch doll neckline already printed.

[@TheMaggieMia]

Sarah Classic Sewing I will have to look, I can go down from there, I’m currently sewing for older Sasha dolls, older Gotz dolls that were part of Silvia Natterer’s Fanouche dolls, my smocked dress turned out a bit big for the doll I though I was sewing for. But it’s all finished except hem, I cut the skirt very long, and the smocking.

[@junekhhuggins8037]

I have been heirloom sewing for many years and I wish I had had video tutorials that are a simple to use as yours are. I need to replace my heirloom blocking board and would like to know what brand blocking board you are using in this video.

[@sarahclassicsewing]

It's June Taylor from farmhousefabrics.com

[@mariaelenasalazar6092]

Thanks 🙏

[@Ellens_Creations]

I am so happy and grateful to have found your channel. I do have trouble understanding you though so is there anyone in KZbin world that can tell me if it’s possible to turn on captions? These videos are amazing and Sarah is fantastic with showing us what to do, I just need to be able to understand as well

[@sarahclassicsewing]

here you go, kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJPIcn-hf9KAh8U and thanks! glad to have you here, welcome.

[@sandradelvecchio6894]

Thank you again for the helpful video! Hey- do you have any help you can show on how to do a perfect Peter Pan collar? And possibly with piping or lace ruffle? My skills in that area are pretty hit or miss.

[@sarahclassicsewing]

+Sandra Delvecchio I think I mention it in a CV Jamie version, but I can't remember off the top of my head. But I don't have a detailed video on it yet. Try googling Gail Doane's peter pan collar. I recall her having a blog post about it. I've never taken a class from her, but I want to badly. Her method is quite precision. She does the piping before cutting out the collar. Hope that helps.

[@sarahclassicsewing]

Sorry, CC Jamie* auto correct.

[@HeavyboxesDIYMaster]

Ooooooo...that looks so nice!

[@AfreensCreations]

Ma'am which type of fabric is best for this applique..

[@sarahclassicsewing]

Afreen's Creations please watch the video. 0:30

[@AfreensCreations]

Thanx Sarah..very helpful video 4 me...as I am also applique lover

[@MargerySempf]

Loved your tutorial; thank you. Marge from Brisbane Australia

[@donnadunbar5982]

Sarah, I am trying pintick on Swiss batiste and it is a hot mess. Do I need to use something under the fine fabric

[@sarahclassicsewing]

hmm sorry to hear that... and no, at least I haven't heard of people using stabilizer or anything. You can use cording/gimp to make them extra full, but they should perk up on their own. Make sure you are using the same thread all around (tops and bobbin), increase the tension on your top threads until they pop up.. swiss batiste should work just fine. what is the problem with them? laying flat? twisted?

[@sherde10]

Thank you Sarah this is so beautiful. Where did you learn all your techniques from? You are a wonderful teacher! xxx

[@sarahclassicsewing]

Thanks so much, you're too kind :-) I'm mostly self-taught using resources like the A-Z book series, old AS&E magazines, and others' blogs. I've taken a handful of in-person classes; one at Farmhouse and the other at Sewing at the Beach. Both were taught by Cindy Foose and I highly recommend her. Additionally, joining a SAGA chapter can be a great resource. I'm an hour away from one since our move and haven't attended a meeting here yet.

[@SewCutesy]

Loveeee this!!

[@mamasaidsew4843]

I think I'm going to try this stitch on some dinner napkins.

[@sarahclassicsewing]

That would be darling, great idea.

[@emmanueldorasme4853]

How can I order baby smoked dress from you dear? I love them.

[@sarahclassicsewing]

Thanks so much. I do limited bespoke work, email me at [e-mail] with what you'd like sewn. Thanks again

[@denisewilkes7486]

Sarah, love your videos, you are a great inspiration for me to do some beautiful dresses for my granddaughter born ladt Valentine's day. Can you show a picture of the completed Madeira hem dress?
