Me: Stash, pdf(w/copyshop), trace, just go for it. Fabric: in store, wovens all day, tumble dry (no heat), rotary cutter for life. Clothing construction: instructions, bias tape, serged seams or zigzag stitch, neither fly for me, buttons by hand, fusible interfacing, snip as I go, press as I go. Habits: daytime since I sew on the weekends, slow and steady, one big clean up! This is fun!
I’m with you facings 90 percent of the time. The only time I use them is if I’m doing a v neck. I cannot seam to get a handle on bias tape and the turn!
I’m with you on the facings. I don’t like they way they bulk up a garment. I live in central CA where it gets hot, hot and it’s just too much fabric. I’ll spend two hour on a RU-vid tutorial to get a perfect v bias binding before I sew a facing at this point. Square neck lines are the only exception. As for the elastic pants, wear what’s comfortable; I love them as well. I never thought I would!
I hang everything. My only fabric store near me is an hour away and is a JoAnn's. I love facings! It's great to learn about our differences and why we like what they like. I also love finding how we are alike.
I agree, I despise facings. Love this video, the comparisons were fun. French seams have taught me so much patience. We all have our little preferences 😀
I can totally see that being the case with French seams. I will say I’ve never given them a proper chance and I tend to over rely on quick and fast when it comes to sewing LOL. Thanks so much for watching & chatting!!
This was a great video. Reminded me to get caught up on the Love To Sew podcast. :) Thank you so very much for tagging me. Looking forward to watching more tags now.
This was super interesting! I really identified with wanting to finish a project quickly. Its like you gotta exorcise the demon! Thanks for this peek into your personality too - you seem so relateable and kind.
Such a fun video idea!! I listened to and loved that episode of Love to Sew. I will be getting on this idea, for sure. I'm with you on some but definitely feel strongly the other way with some categories. That's the fun, right?
