Hi Everyone! Let's talk about - Sewing Machine Presser Feet! Throughout this 8 part topic, we will cover a variety of presser feet for use with a standard sewing machine. I'm really excited about this opportunity to go deep into this topic, exploring the specific use of the different feet. Together we will learn to make the most of the machines we have, same time and create beautiful garments by using the presser feet for the purposes they're designed for! Exciting, right?
In part 4 we wrap up the topic with a closer look at sewing the tiny curves along facings and armscyes (pronounced "arms-eye"). These curved seamlines can be found in many of the doll clothes patterns on Pixie Faire, especially the standard armscye. My hope is that after watching how I sew these seamlines, you're able to apply the techniques to your own projects and sew tiny curves with confidence!
In part 3 we move along and take a closer look at sewing curves and corners on collars. Tiny collars can be tricky enough because of their size, but add in the need to sew smooth curves or precisely pointed corners and you might just be saying - "No Way!" Let's conquer that fear together and turn those nays onto yeas!
Welcome back! This week we continue with our Culotte Jumpsuit sew along, focusing on the leg portion and then finishing up the garment. As with most garments, there are curves and corners along the way, so let's jump in and finish up our projects together!
