What I love about your work is that you finish the seams on your garments. It really bothers me when people don't finish the seams on clothing. Good job 😊. Thinking of doing that dress. I would make the bodice smaller though because I don't like it being that big. I either sew with organza ribbon on the seam or a strip of fusible interfacing to give the out pocket more structure and prevent gaposis.

I have been curious about making & designing zero waste clothing for a while but it has been a bit overwhelming how to do it & know where to start. However, I recently tried out making a zero waste refashion which really pushed myself creatively as I had to reuse everything in the garment.

@@SewingTherapy Actually, I found a post on the pattern website that explained it. "I guess technically speaking you could say these don’t have a ‘purpose’ , but it actually depends on how you look at it. They are attached in such a way that you do end up covering a little of your side seam and it makes the garment look lovely and finished on the inside, and also it does add a little more weight here into the hem, as well a design detail with the triangular stitch line." 👍

@SewingTherapy3 жыл бұрын
Hi, most of serging stitches are locked by another sering stitch so you don't need to worry, but the hem! I usually just cut it short as the main stitch will lock it not to fray! If you like a professional look, leave the tail of serging stitches long and slip it into folded hem when you sew the last stitch. That's what I sometimes do! Hope this makes sense! 😊
