seams
one of the cleanest seams is the french seam. a perfect way to add a professional look and finishing touch to your creations
@KEYCULT A Quick French Seam Tutorial❗️ This seam is really for lighter weight fabrics and rainwear. But it can be used on denim IF your sewing a loose or unfitted jacket or bomber. Don’t. Be. Boxed. In… 😊 •A French seam is a method of hiding the raw edges inside a seam. It was first used in France… and that’s how it gets its name. #sewtok #howtosew #frenchseam #learntosew #howto #sewingtutorial #sewing #sewingtiktok #sewingtips #sewinghowto #frenchseamtutorial
we don't judge raw edges or low effort edges! if you want a way to finish off your seams & not go crazy while doing it, this tutorial is for you!
Is it low effort sewing if it still looks this good? Instead of spending time pinning and measuring before hemming a garment I always just overlock the fabric and fold twice before sewing. The thick 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 #clothes #smallbusinesstiktok #sewingtiktok #sewtok #sewinghack #sewingtips #sewingtricks #sewingforbeginners
