Can I just make a suggestion. It would be good to see a picture of what you’re going to make at the start of the vlog. The blouse turned out beautifully. I especially love the neckline. 👍
Thanks for the tip! I thought the video cover featuring it would be good. I can see how it’s helpful to have the cover and still show it at the beginning.
Such a pretty fabric you’ve chosen and your new blouse looks great! Just curious. I have seen some sewing videos where the presenter will serge all edges of a woven fabric before they begin construction of the garment, (especially when the fabric is light weight or if it frays easily). Do you ever do this?
This would be easier than trying to serge the edges after the seam has been sewn. I also prefer seams opened if they’re sewn on the sewing machine to reduce bulk.
Understitching the seam allowance to the facing stops the facing from flipping out while you are wearing the garment. You can understitch either way from front or back you just have to make sure you are catching the seam allowance to the facing. I am guessing because Deanna trimmed the seam allowance down with pinking shears she wanted to make sure she was catching all the seam allowance. I always press my seam allowance towards the facing then I sew it down, fold it to the inside and press again.
@@AussieTracy I, too press the seam allowance toward the facing, but sew on the right side of the facing. I may try sewing on the underside because it seems it will give more control of the seam allowance.
@@TheRobb227 After going around the circle, I stop with the needles down at or just beyond the spot where the serging began, lock the knife so it can’t trim anymore, serge aninch or so, stop with the needles down, life the presser foot, move the fabric to the left away from the needles, lower the presser foot and serge a tail an inch or two in length and cut. This thread can then be tucked into the hem. This sounds complicated, but once you get used to doing it, it becomes automatic. I’m sure there are YT vids of this.
