Sew Alongs 9 years agoSorry to hear that that seaming went so slowly, @sanitystitches. I pressed mine and then sort of fiddled with the fabric as I sewed, so I didn’t need to baste. But different fabrics may respond differently, too. And your finished coat looks terrific!
@artscience, definitely shorten and the shorten line. Anything else will give you a different…[Read more]

Hugo’s 18th outfit is done, happy dance, on with my jeans.

Sew Alongs 9 years agoHi everyone! I’m out of town at a conference, so apologies for the slow replies. @dubhels2003, I think you mean easestitching? It’s a basting stitch that you can remove after you finish the seam. Easestitching allows you to shorten an edge slightly without causing puckers or gathers. How is everyone doing so far? I’m wishing I had packed my coat…[Read more]

Hello, friends! I’m so glad you’re joining me for our Lisette coat B6244 sew-along. This is a really fast sew: with only three pattern pieces, no lining or facings, and a minimum of seams, we’ll be spending more time on flat-finishing the seams than on anything else. If you’ve never tried a flat-felled seam before, I think you’re going to like the…[Read more]
