You get a good price AND give them a second life. How can you resist bold, gorgeous prints like these? Click here to shop silk, rayon, and other dressy fabrics! |

| Friday Fun Fact! Let's talk about one of my favorite seam finishes, the flat-felled seam! Flat-felled seams were the typical choice throughout history for underwear and shirts, for good reasons: Flat-felled seams are smooth - there's no raw edges or bumpy seams to chafe against the skin. They're durable - with no raw fabric to fray, they help a garment withstand constant laundering and wear. These days, well-made shirts still use flat-felled seams, but mostly you'll see them on jeans. To sew a flat-felled seam: - Sew the seam as usual. - Trim away half of one seam allowance. - Wrap the untrimmed seam around the trimmed one. - Press flat to the side. - Stitch through all the layers, close to the fold. You can learn more about how to make flat-felled seams and more in our Beautiful Seams and Hems class! |
