Double Gauze - All You Need To Know About Sewing With Double Gauze Fabric 

I love my daughter in double gauze dresses, they look so gorgeous and organic

Thank you for doing this. I might just get the courage to sew summer shorts for my little granddaughter.

I just found your channel today Hayley, and I'm totally sold! I love your humor, your real and true life comments. You made a great video, that was fun to watch. I'm OLD, so I've been sewing since before the ice age, but I still love to watch and learn like the rest of the crowd. I'm hoping to learn at least one thing every day until I'm gone. That's called growing. Have a great day, hope you didn't get drenched waiting at the school, and yes, summer is coming. Here, it is already miserable humidity and heat. So keep up the hope! Sadie...

Thanks Hayley. I’ve never sewn with double gauze and this video has given me the confidence to give it a go.

Thanks Hayley! I learned the hard way about ironing double gauze - I didn’t know - and when I wore the dress I’d made, it just grew and grew! Now I iron before I sew, so it grows first!

I’ve been seeing a lot of videos where drawstrings are added to an elasticized waistband. I’ve never understood the concept. Just go with the elasticized waist. I can’t wait to make pyjamas with this material!

Thank you. I was always told to not iron Double gauze. Glad you put this out today. Thank you.

Thanks for the info

Thank you so much. Just what I needed. I prefer to sew with thrifted fabric and just found 4 meters of grey double gauze in good condition. I love double gauze, but I have never sewn it before. Now I feel prepared 🤗

Hi Hayley! I'm just finishing a double gauze easy peasy pair of summer pants. This video will be really helpful to those who haven't used it before. If you iron it completely, however, I find it will flatten out/expand the amount of fabric. So it can make your final garment a bit smaller. I only gently straighten out and iron the selvedge edges, straighten the grain out, then give it plenty of steam (hovering above the fabric), then I cut. Also, have you ever tried just cutting your overlocker thread above the loopers, then tying the new thread to each of the old cut threads, leaving the tiniest of knots, and then pulling on the old threads by your presser foot, to gently guide the new threads through the whole looper system? Of course the needle threads are easy. This is how I do it. I haven't threaded my serger in over a year. Just a suggestion!

Great vlogg loads of tips taking the fear away from sewing with double gauze thank you❤

Will definitely try the ballpoint needle for my fine or snag-prone fabrics - thanks for passing on the tip👍💕

Thank you so much! I love double gauze fabrics and was just shopping for clothes made of it yesterday. I've never sewn with it, but will try now!

great video Hayley! thank you for the education on any fabrics that you give us. I love double gauze and got some many moons ago in one of your boxes. Still have some in a different color and was thinking today about what a nice nightgown it would make. It does grow for whoever hasn't used it. In my case, since I grew a bit, this has been a blessing. xx Karen

Thanks so much for compiling all this info! I’m just going to start a project with double gauze and I feel more prepared now!

So I was sewing with double gauze before I knew it was hard to do. Ignore all other advice. Wash it like normal, iron it like normal,and then hang it back on the washing line or over the banisters and let it bounce back into it's natural state. Sew like normal.

I have a metre of double gauze on my "next" pile that I'm planning to make into PJ shorts so this was great timing. Thanks for the tips and tricks.

Thank you for the tips for double gauze. I’ve recently purchase some DG to sew the Agnes Pyjamas.

This has been very helpful. I have been making drawstring ruched pants, but I’m having trouble 1. making the drawstrings with a fabric that frays so much, and 2. making the button holes in this fabric. Ah. I do like to set myself up for a challenge…..😅

Thank you for all the tips. I’ve washed my pink dg but haven’t decided what to make yet… maybe pj bottoms from Friday pattern co sport shorts…. 🧐. Looking forward to July’s box. (I need to update my house #… ). I just stitched up the honeycomb/ bee cross stitch. It’s very cute! Done in two days. 😮

This video really was useful as I have often looked at it but never bought any.

Made a peasant blouse with flouncy sleeves, it’s lovely and sooo comfortable! Love double glaze

Lovely video thank you. I am tempted to make bed shorts in some fabric I have as it will be so soft. I made a blouse with double gauze once and it didnt drape well so was put off but you have encouraged me to have another go ❤

Lovely video Hayley. Thank you. I think im making a simple t-shirty look top from mine. Great tips.😊

Thanks! Am staring at five yards of freshly washed and dried double gauze and thinking… iron? I thought I’d was ok but good to check.

Awesomeness 😅😊😊❤

0:04 I enjoyed your video and can't find the video that you mentioned about different fabrics. I'd love to watch that, thanks!

I like using clips.

Would like to know what settings you used on your serger.

I made a Donny shirt in double gauze, and Pj bottoms, love them, so comfy! now on the hunt for some lovely patterned double gauze for a dress. Do you think DG would be good for the RANI skirt? 🐾🐾

🎉 I want to make something for my grandbabies from this fabric (besides a blanket)… do you have any recommendations? ❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing ❤❤

when you press double gauze do you use steam? xx

I was going to sew the Geranium dress by Made by Rae for my granddaughter in the watermelon double gauze from one of your boxes. The bodice is lined. Seems like two layers of double gauze might be two thick (4 layers of fabric?). Can you line double gauze with another type of fabric? It is a summer dress.

Pattern weights. Or as we call them here - cans of soup. Avoids the pin conundrum.

I have a question! Does cotton double gauze tend to be a little bit see-through...?

How do you tell the right side from the wrong side for double gauze? It looks so similar or maybe I've been staring at it for too long!

I know what you mean about pins. It's so annoying using blunt ones

You’re a bit too chatty so I had to leave before tutorial finished
