@mariajsanroman, I love French seems too. They give such a nice finish, but they can indeed offer additional challenges. I’ll post a photo of a Gallery Dress I sewed. It’s dark here, so the light isn’t good but I think you can still see how I clipped into the seam at the dot to allow the two edges to separate for the hem. Does that help? As I…[Read more]

@liesl Thank you so much for your response! There is always so much to learn, and I did not realize that the interfacing should not really change the hand of the fabric. I used a much lighter interfacing (the 906 F I mentioned is a “shear weight”) than my first tunic, but it is definitely still too stiff. I’ve already sewed the side seams up, and…[Read more]

@mariajsanroman was it the extra bulk when you came to the French seams when you were hemming that made it more difficult? If so, try clipping away part of the French seams near the hem (but not too much) so that when you are hemming there will be less bulk and make it easier to hem. Hope that helps!

I would like to know if there is anything I should do in a different way as it is explained in order to make french seams in my gallery tunic. I have already made a gallery tunic and I had some trouble hemming it with the french seams. This time I wanted to know what to do before going with french seams again. Anyway, I have had zero sewing time…[Read more]

@blacktabi: ohh I also had this same issue with the FBA dart. Luckily I realized while I was doing the FBA on the pattern, so I could just redraw it. Still, it’s my first time doing any of this so let’s see how it comes out.
@liesl, I am sooo sooo excited. Yesterday I managed to catch up on the sewalong, and being my first time sewing anything…[Read more]

@blacktabi: Oh, too bad! If you can carefully unpick the dart and shorten it a bit I think it will be fine. The darts do look a bit long in your photo. I hope it works. Double gauze is such a beautiful (and somewhat expensive) fabric–it would be nice if you could fix it. Keep us posted, will you?

@lexilouwho, you can absolutely leave it sleeveless! A bias facing is a great way to finish a sleeveless armhole. I would only suggest that you check to be sure the armhole will be the right size–often when you make something sleeveless it’s a good idea to raise the underarm a bit so it’s not too revealing. I hope that helps.

Hi @Jessamyb, sorry for the silence! I’m not familiar with Pellon 906F, but for most fabrics (including double gauze) I use the lightest interfacing I can find. Many stores carry something that’s featherweight or called something similar, and sometimes you can even find silk chiffon fusible interfacing. The important thing to remember is that the…[Read more]
