🧵✂️ This or That | Sewing Edition ✂️🧵

[@blufaerie]

Me: Stash, pdf(w/copyshop), trace, just go for it. Fabric: in store, wovens all day, tumble dry (no heat), rotary cutter for life. Clothing construction: instructions, bias tape, serged seams or zigzag stitch, neither fly for me, buttons by hand, fusible interfacing, snip as I go, press as I go. Habits: daytime since I sew on the weekends, slow and steady, one big clean up! This is fun!

I’m still new to sewing so to hear for the first time tht I have the option to SKIP FACING and do bias tape instead is 🤯

[@thecuratedcurvy]

YES GIRL! you 1000% can - my only advice though if you ever venture that way is to understitch, it makes a world of difference.

[@leenanorms]

@@thecuratedcurvy ooo noted thank you!

[@rachellynncreates2703]

I’m with you facings 90 percent of the time. The only time I use them is if I’m doing a v neck. I cannot seam to get a handle on bias tape and the turn!

[@maryfields877]

I’m with you on the facings. I don’t like they way they bulk up a garment. I live in central CA where it gets hot, hot and it’s just too much fabric. I’ll spend two hour on a KZbin tutorial to get a perfect v bias binding before I sew a facing at this point. Square neck lines are the only exception. As for the elastic pants, wear what’s comfortable; I love them as well. I never thought I would!

[@sherrelstroot3034]

I hang everything. My only fabric store near me is an hour away and is a JoAnn's. I love facings! It's great to learn about our differences and why we like what they like. I also love finding how we are alike.

You know I'll have my video up this week. I saw this and was like yes, I'll be doing this. Thank you for the tag!

[@MichelleSewsAgain]

This was such a fun tag - thanks for starting it!

[@ShereeThomas30]

This was a fun video! I learned so much about you! ❤

[@robina3443]

Yes #2 i agree!!👍🏽

[@ShutokaJ]

Cool video thanks for tagging me I'll definitely do this one soon.

[@whatmandymadenext8120]

What a great tag

[@cookeka]

I agree, I despise facings. Love this video, the comparisons were fun. French seams have taught me so much patience. We all have our little preferences 😀

[@thecuratedcurvy]

I can totally see that being the case with French seams. I will say I’ve never given them a proper chance and I tend to over rely on quick and fast when it comes to sewing LOL. Thanks so much for watching & chatting!!

[@jsd2457]

I too hate, hate 8:42 facings. You and I agree on most of this. I do follow directions. Don’t have enough skills to not follow directions.

[@thecuratedcurvy]

We all need to start a coalition again facing LOL! I do understand following the instructions - I think at the root of it ,I just get too antsy 😆

[@LostMyThread]

Such a fun video idea!! I listened to and loved that episode of Love to Sew. I will be getting on this idea, for sure. I'm with you on some but definitely feel strongly the other way with some categories. That's the fun, right?

[@thecuratedcurvy]

Exactly!! I’m excited to watch yours, I really enjoy your videos 😊

[@Manecoarse]

This was a great video. Reminded me to get caught up on the Love To Sew podcast. :) Thank you so very much for tagging me. Looking forward to watching more tags now.

[@twylaostercamp2467]

What a fun video. I answered all of these out loud and learned about me as well as you! Thank you!

[@ithinkicansewit]

This was super interesting! I really identified with wanting to finish a project quickly. Its like you gotta exorcise the demon! Thanks for this peek into your personality too - you seem so relateable and kind.

[@ZeldaSews]

Oh, this is so cool! I wish I was tagged!

[@thecuratedcurvy]

Hey!!! Join in anyway *I’m officially tagging you!* 😁😁😁

[@ZeldaSews]

Oh, my goodness! Thank you so much Julie Fortaging me in. I love your name because that is my sister's name! I look forward to doing this tag!

Lovely! I had only seen the "this or that" format on instagram. 🥰 I will surely tag you if I have some time to join this game ❤

[@thecuratedcurvy]

Awesome! I hope you have time to join in 🥰

[@CreativiteeByT]

Great video! We're basically This or That twins minus following directions!!

[@thecuratedcurvy]

LOL! I just did a pattern and tried to wing it - it got the best of me 😆😆

[@rochelle.handmade.designs]

We have so many similarities on this list for sure. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@thecuratedcurvy]

😆 I’m excited to see your video - low key because I’m so nosy and want a peek into everyone’s sewing processes 😆😆

[@rochelle.handmade.designs]

@@thecuratedcurvy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I was cracking up at each category but I'll try to have it ready by Thursday

[@ZeldaSews]

Julie, what is the exact hashtag so I can put it on my video?

[@cathyswope5174]

Love this tag!

[@thecuratedcurvy]

Yay! I thought it would be a fun one!

[@Ellaodi]

The Flys are so dumb, I'd rather do the 17th c fall front placket, or a regular zip sewn in like an invisible zip

[@viralprimenetwork]
