That's incredible! I've just recently started sewing my own clothing and I love the thought of being able to wear them for years to come.

@@samanthabrooks7789 One thing that I've noticed as well, is that fabrics are NOT the quality they used to be.

I sometimes buy older garments now, just for the quality fabric, and I repurpose the fabric :) Happy sewing !!

@mishkalarsoncreations 4 месяца назад

Thank you for this - I am 62 and have been sewing since I was 5. My grandma and mom taught us - my grandma’s family were tailors/seamstresses. My grandma would fly from her grave if unused a serger. This finish has always been associated with what we now call fast fashion. She made a lot of custom gowns and dresses for women in the 30s, 40s and 50s. She would never have considered serging any of those garments - it would have been perceived as tacky. She always said, why would you spend the time and money making a special garment and then not finish the inside to be as beautify as the outside. Some makers think get mad at me for my distaste for serged edges. Unless you’re pre-finishing a puffy quilted fabric so it it’s unwieldy, I see no reason to not take the extra time to properly finish a seam.

@martinafox5696 3 месяца назад

My story is similar, just an aunt was in the question. However , I prefer hand finish with lighter fabric . 😍

C'est un des rare domaine ou le français est plus court et précis en même temps! ----------------- I went to Arts and Crafts School in Quebec (Canada), where several courses were interdisciplinary (Textile, Jewelry, Violin / Guitar making, Cabinetmaking, Sculpture and Ceramics), and the English courses were the most appalling for me; each specific French word to describe something very specific was translated by two or three English words put together, or by a more generic term. It is one of few domains where I find French being shorter and yet more acurate.

same - i don't have a sewing machine so i do everything by hand. I tried using my mum's relic from the 70s and i couldn't cope with it. Weirdly i actually like doing stuff by hand i make a lot of mistakes because i'm a beginner and it's SO much easier to unpick hand stitches than machine stitches. i also feel like i have more control over what i'm doing and i can easily undo a couple of stitches rather than sew half a yard in 2 seconds and only realise afterwards I've screwed up.

@SusanIvanova2257 4 года назад

Well dang, RU-vid recommendations actually threw something great my way here. While I finally caved last year and bought a serger for all the Spandex I was sewing, I still hate seeing serged hems. I don't know why, I just think they are ugly. So this is bookmarked for later reference, I love how your explanations are short and to the point but show all the different types well!

@janholman6192 3 года назад

Serged seams are not for couture garments. You will notice on lower priced clothing, they usually have serged seams. But, if you buy yourself a decent brand serger, you should find a quality stitch for your project. I have a Bernina which puts out a great looking stitch. The older and cheaper the machine, the less user friendly they are.

@cliftonmcnalley8469 Год назад

When I was first starting to sew in my teens, I also thought serged seams were ugly - almost as ugly as seeing pinked edges showing through to the outside of a garment. Later when I learned that servers were invented specifically to make clothing faster and cheaper. I saw no reason to change my mind. Servers are excellent for sewing knits, but I find them unnecessary for woven fabrics. For some reason with this new resurgence of home sewing, people seem preoccupied with interior seam finishes. So long as the fabric doesn't fray, the best seam finishes provide the least bulk.

@EnchantedRoseCostumes 4 года назад

Glad this was helpful! Happy sewing!

@michellebyrom6551 3 года назад

I've stopped using the zigzag finish as it needs precise tension and placement not to bunch up the edge of the material. Unpicking wrecks the edge and the bunching spoils the smooth right side. French or felled seams are way better on light to mediumweight fabrics. Binding the edges is better for heavyweights. The extra time is definitely worth the effort in finish and longevity.

@grimsqueaker5333 4 месяца назад

Using tissue paper when sewing lighter weight fabric helps when I struggle to get the tension right. I remember my mom using newspaper on the underside to stabilise her hand made cotton on cotton applique ... and the kids has to pick out the newspaper from the stitches 😂

I've found old silk saris give you a lot of beautiful material for a very low price. As western shirts, wide trousers and dresses they look wonderful. They would be great cut into kurtis too, allowing you to make the most of any brocade trim. I expect you would have to pay less than I do.

I love all of these! I've been doing 14th century, so turning under and hand-felling seams is my jam for now, but I have a suit on the horizon and I want to do the Hong Kong finish. Maybe even the variant I saw once where you cut the lining fabric extra-wide, sew it right sides together with each individual fashion fabric, turn them and press them, and then you have this weird lining/interlining layer that also finishes all the vertical seems. It looks like complete witchcraft that requires immense precision, but it was so pretty!
