  • SKIRT SIDE ALTERATION   12 years 20 weeks ago
    Re: side seam and waistband skirt alteration

    Dear predebby66,

    You should take in the same amount from the lining as you took in from the shell. To do this, you need to copy the new seam line from the shell to the lining.

    I suggest you watch chapters 46 and 47 from the Panel Dress Sewing video lesson. In those chaptets I show how to do this.

    Sometimes in ready made garments the lining is a different size than the shell. So you should do a test fitting first.

    Happy sewing,

    Nehzat

  • Couture Sewing--   12 years 21 weeks ago
    Re: Draw Stitch and Bridle Terms in Sewing

    Dear ApplehillCreations,

    The draw stitch is used to sew two folded edges together by hand from the right side and make it look like it is sewn by machine. The stitches are sewn short like machine stitches and the thread is kept taut to keep the folded edges firmly together. This is basically similar to the Ladder Stitches shown here except for the shorter stitches and that in ladder stitches we have only one folded edge sewn to a flat fabric. Once you sew the two folded edges together using draw stitch, the stitches will look like Running Stitch on the wrong side. 

    Bridle, refers to the roll line, such as a roll line on a lapel for a jacket. This is where you would place strips of cotton fabric and hand stitch it from the wrong side to define where the fabric will be rolled for the lapel. Doing this will give a much nicer finished look.

    You can also use this technique where the facing is joined to a jacket. to give the seams a crisp finish. If you look inside men's jackets, you will usually find that there are strips of cotton tape about 5 mm wide that are used along the seam lines, this also keeps the facing in its place.

    Hope this helps, 

    Happy sewing,

    Nehzat

  • Altering Shoulders on Women's Jacket   12 years 21 weeks ago
    Re: Altering Shoulders on Women's Jacket

    Dear Tessa469,

    This should not be a problem, you can decrease the shoulder width by as much as you need to, depending on the person's body shape and change the shoulder pad to a thinner one as well.

    In the past when they used very thick shoulder pads, they also exaggerated the shoulder width.

    Happy sewing,

  • finishing armholes   12 years 21 weeks ago
    Re: Sewing Bias Tape to the Armholes

    Dear Enas,

    To resolve this issue, when you apply the bias tape to the armholes, give it a bit extra length along the bottom, curviest part of the armholes and baste the bias tapes in place. The excess amount should be a bit more than what you need. This way when you flip the bias tape around to the inside, the free edge of the bias tape will lay flat on the armhole fabric. 

    Since the tape is cut on the bias, giving it a bit excess length compared to the armhole length will not gather the bias tape and be noticeable, especially after pressing the finished garment.

    Happy sewing,

  • How to make a elasticized waistband   12 years 21 weeks ago
    Re: How to sew a casing for elastic bands

    Dear Azeez,

    You are welcome. You can watch the Dirndl Skirt Sewing Video Lesson to learn how to make a casing for elastic band. You do not need to sew the darts when you are applying elastic bands. 

    Yes you can have elastic at the sides of the pants, between the back and front crease lines on each side. This way the midsection of the front and the midsection of the back will not gather, and lay flat.

    You can also eliminate the zipper if you straighten the side seams from the lower hipline, as they reach the waistline. This way you can wear the pants easily without having a zipper.

    Happy sewing,

    Nehzat

  • Narrowing pant legs   12 years 21 weeks ago
    Re: Narrowing Pant legs

    Dear Kate,

    Sometimes taking in just from the side seams works well. You can take in and baste, then do a fitting to make sure you are happy with the result, before sewing by machine and cutting the seam allowances. 

    Once you do the fitting you can decide if you need to take in from the inseams as well.

    I suggest you watch the: Pants Alteration: Side Seam & Waistband Video Lesson. These pants do not have pockets but you can follow the below steps to adjust you pants.

    Wear your pants, pinch the excess on both sides, try to keep the excess the same amount on both sides and pin. Now use the same method as the pants alteration video, link above, to mark the new seam lines. Do this while ignoring the pockets for now.

    Baste along the marks, do a test fitting to make sure you like the fit. 

    Now working just on one side, remove the pocket and sew the seam line above and below the pocket opening by machine. Using the other side pocket as reference, sew back the pocket on this side the same way. Then you can finish the other side as well. 

    I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    Happy Sewing,

    Nehzat


  • SKIRT SIDE ALTERATION   12 years 21 weeks ago
    Re: Skirt Alteration

    Dear predebby66,

    First thing I suggest you do, is watch the: Pants Alteration: Side Seam & Waistband Video Lesson. This lesson is for pants, however taking in from the side seams is the same for skirts as well. The pants do not have pockets in this case, but below I will tell you what to do.

    Wear your skirt, pinch the excess on both sides, try to keep the excess the same amount on both sides and pin. Now use the same method as the pants alteration video, link above, to mark the new seam lines. Do this while ignoring the pockets for now.

    Baste along the marks, do a test fitting to make sure you like the fit.

    Now working just on one side, remove the pocket and sew the seam line above and below the pocket opening by machine. Using the other side pocket as reference, sew back the pocket on this side the same way. Then you can finish the other side as well. 

    I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    Hello Everyone, I'm a soso sewer and joined to improve my skills!  I was looking at the video on sleeves in hopes of doing some alterations for my kids' clothes. Like their dad and me, they are built low to the ground. I have to say, I was a bit intimidated by the sleeve video. Any suggestions? Thanks!!!!!!
