Tutorial - Flat-felled seam


flat-felled seam tutorial


I’ve seen many flat-felled seam tutorials around the web, but sadly not one of them mimics industrial flat-felled seam.
When you look at the flat-felled seams on your store bought jeans you see two rows of stitches on both right and left side; cutting edges have been nicely tucked between two details on the outside and on the inside and the back center is right between those two rows of stitches.
And here is how you can do same looking flat-felled seam at home on your commercial sewing machine.

May Day mayhem


I wish I was that pretty while sewing! So, May Day - a day off YAY! I spent my free day cooped up in my sewing room sewing and watching "Project Runway" season 11.

Sunday Flash Project - "Emma" top

I have an unhealthy obsession with white tops, shirts, Tshirts and so on. Every year I make probably 7 white tops right before the summer or during it.
I also have developed a new obsession - naming all my self drafted patterns after movie actors or actresses I adore, thus the name "Emma". (Guess which Emma is it!?! )
"Emma" top is made out of wrinkly cotton jersey with three-quarter sleeves that have cute seashell buttons.
