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!
Hi Everyone! Let's talk about - Sewing Curves and Corners! Both of these seamlines are a staple in most garment construction. In Part 1, we will kick off our sew along and take a closer look at sewing princess seams and the sweetheart neckline...
Hi Everyone! Welcome to Hemming Techniques Part 4: Sewing tiny hems and choosing to use hem alternatives.

Hi Everyone! This week is a bit different. I'm really hoping you enjoy following along with me as I travel to Lusaka, Zambia to visit with the seamstresses that we support through Sew Powerful. The topic of organization carries through into several areas relating to this trip :)
Welcome to Hemming Techniques Part 3: Sewing hems on chiffon or silky sheer fabrics. I love these types of lightweight flowing fabrics! Choosing to use these really sets the tiny garments apart from the usual "doll clothes" crowd. The touch and feel are just so nice and really adds that authentic touch to the pieces. This falls right into my mantra "Fashion in Miniature"!
Hi Everyone! Welcome to Hemming Techniques Part 2: Sewing Hems on Knit Fabrics. Knit fabrics are beautiful and provide a very authentic look and feel to the garment. Unfortunately for most, these fabrics also bring with them a bit of fear and anxiety. I experienced those same feelings early on but after hours of experimentation and research, I've overcome those fears. I love to sew with knit fabrics and hope that these tips and techniques will encourage you to practice sewing with knits too!
