#Sewing Guide

Some sewing tricks are so simple they almost feel like cheating… but they make your projects look so much better. Here are a few sewing ‘cheat codes’ I wish I knew earlier: 🧻 Use tissue paper under slippery fabric – it stops the machine from eating delicate fabrics like chiffon and keeps the process rip-free. 🧵 Always test stitches on a scrap first – same fabric, same layers. It saves so much frustration later (don’t ask me how I know) ✂️ Trim seam allowances before turning corners – it removes bulk and makes everything look crisp. 🥢 Use a chopstick or knitting needle to push out corners – neat edges without risking holes. I keep a pair of chopsticks nearby at all times! 🧼 Mark fabric with a tiny bit of bar soap – it washes out and works surprisingly well. Go for white soap over transparent to mark on dark fabrics. 📎 Use binder clips for thick fabrics – denim and canvas behave much better with clips than pins and you won’t accidentally poke yourself which is a bonus. 🧹 Use blue tac to keep lint out of your machine – a quick clean keeps stitches running smoothly and with blue tac it’ll super easy to collect dust. 🪡 Reinforce high-stress areas – pockets, inner seams, and belt loops last much longer with a few extra stitches.

How to Sew That Thing | Episode 2- how to finish an armhole (or neckline)! This is for the concealed bias tape method, where you don’t see the bias tape from the outside of the garment. You can use it on armholes or necklines and it’s such a nice way to finish the raw edge! #sewing #sewingtutorial #sewist

Sewing isn’t about fancy tools; it’s about knowing tricks that make your life 100x easier. Needle threading made easy Stretch fabric that listens to you Pins and button holes = perfect combination Which one are you trying first?

I’ve always found gathering fabric and playing with ratios super fun! I normally stick around the 1.5-2 ratio, I think it crates a nice balance. Make sure to use this as a guide on your next sewing pattern draft to determine how intense you want your gathers! 〰️〰️〰️ Which gather ratio do you usually use? I’d love to know! . #gathering #fabricgathering #sewingtips #patterndrafting #sewingguide

Is it low effort sewing if it still looks this good? Instead of spending time pinning and measuring before hemming a garment I sometimes just overlock the fabric and fold twice before sewing. (You can also do a single straight stitch if you’re worried about bulk). The edge of the overlocked fabric mixed with some slight tension whilst folding allows you to hem evenly and straight without measuring. Perfect for medium to heavy weight fabrics and fabrics with no stretch. There are still some learning curves to this lazy girl technique- this typically works best on straight edges and you should make sure you’re only holding tension when you fold and not when you sew. #teaganjacobs

Learn how to finish raw edges without an overlocker. Having an overlocker foot is a brilliant way to finish edges or even join two pieces of fabric together. Did this help? Double tap if it did. What help do you need with sewing or upcycling clothes. #sewing #sewingproject #sewinglove #sewinglove #sewingaddict #sewingtips #sewingtutorials
