- I have always loved sitting down to the machine and constructing a garment. Part my enjoyment comes from knowing that little decisions -- like pressing the seams open or to one side -- can make a big difference.
Similarly, I still get a thrill from making a facing, because doing all the little steps (which I explain), the facing folds into place practically on its own and is always well behaved.
These nuances of construction fascinate me because they affect how the garment looks and how it functions. It's also just fun to make a garment a garment that looks nice on the inside!
I hope this exploration of controlling seams and facings is helpful to you and makes a positive difference in your garment construction.
Thank you, Sarah! As always, your instruction is very well done. The videography is done so we can REALLY see what you are explaining. Much appreciated.
Hi Sarah. I have known about you for a number of years. I have your fitting book and I recommend it. I didn't know you had a YT channel. I'm surprised I didn't notice it before... I think it's the YT algorithms that don't always do a great job of finding related videos for the subjects I follow. You look better than ever. Your lilac velvet top goes so well with your hair highlights.
I’m a little late in catching this “lecture” but it was so fascinating. Agree with others, your video presentation was perfect.
I’m a beginner but this video really helped me in understanding seam finishes. Your advice on finishing a seam based on what the fabric wants to do is a real game changer. Love the use of your butterfly seam finishes. I will now embrace the fact my “me-made” clothes will appear quite different on the inside and not keep trying mirror RTW clothing. Looking forward to viewing future lectures in 2024.
Thanks for this wonderful video Sarah! Very well explained, lots of great tips! 😊🎉
Wonderful video! Thank you. Got some great ideas from this. 😃
