How to
Make a French Seam -
Love to Sew Studio shows you how to sew a French Seam. The
French Seam is a bulky, self-finished seam that is great for fabrics that
fray. It is used on garments that are washed a lot like lingerie, and
blouses. You will also find French Seam used on children's and babies
clothing. The French Seam is found on babies clothes for two reasons. One,
so that the seam allowance doesn't rub up against the baby's soft skin.
And two, the French seams holds up well with clothes that are washed
often. With a French seam the raw edges are completely enclosed in the
seam. |
|
How to
Make a Flat-Felled Seam -

found on denim garments like jeans, denim skirts, and jackets. The
flat-felled seam is not suitable for bulky fabrics. The stitching on a
flat-felled seam shows two rows on the pretty or right side of the fabric.

Learn to Sew a Hand Print Turkey Craft
-
This video guides you with step-by-step instructions on how
to make an adorable fabric handprint turkey that will last a life time.
Together, you and your child can draw, sew curves, pick out fabric, and
hand sew buttons! One of the most popular Thanksgiving crafts for kids is
a paper turkey, made from tracing their hands. I still have every paper
craft my children have made me, but paper crafts can rip and ruin. So when
my student Elena wanted to design and make a fabric hand turkey craft, I
jumped on that opportunity right away. It brought back memories watching
her trace her hand for the pattern. So while your children are young, why
not sew up a fabric turkey from your child's handprint? Make sure they
sign and date the back. |
