Lack Of Energy & Blood Donation

Day 5: We set the dress:: Sew Along # 5

Today will be a short day because we do the side seams that are provided by you (really) and so I have time to give others hugs tonight. You just have to join the bodies of the dresses right sides. Pin is lining up the edges and stitched seam allowance, leaving a ½ ".
Edges pin before sewing
ironed the seams open and neaten the edges to prevent fraying. I use pinking shears and do not usually overcast if the fabric allows.
And Chimpún!
ironed seams open on both sides
But I will not go yet. I will tell you as you would a French seam, because it is mentioned in the instructions:
Disposed
  • the bonded facing setbacks.
  • is quilted with ¼ "seam allowance. Are cut seam.
  • He turns over the seam and right sides, and sewn with ¼ "seam allowance.
The advantage of this seam is that it is done very well on the inside, but the disadvantage is that bulge a lot, so fabrics used in very finite. I leave
this link which explains better and illustrations.

More tomorrow. Greetings
sewing
