Seam Finishes - Topic Overview

Hi Everyone! Let's talk about finishing well! One of the most overlooked things in sewing garments can be the interior finish work. This is especially the case when it comes to sewing for dolls. I learned early on that the key to success was to finish well, and not just well, but exceptionally well! Providing a beautifully finished interior elevates the overall design and adds to the recipients' overall appreciation and admiration of your work. The attention to detail in this area goes a long way!
