  • Hi everyone, I'm back today with a new weekly series I'm hoping you'll love. Over the coming weeks, I'm planning to show you how I perform key sewing techniques that work for me to create better results in my garments, is there anything you'd like me to demonstrate?, let me know!
    To kick us off, I'm showing how I create PERFECT in seam pockets that sit flush at the side seams, no bagging out and adding extra bulk to those hips. This technique is one I've used from sewing Tessuti patterns and it's FANTASTIC, I hope you love it too xx

    Game changer for me! Every dress or pants pattern would have you sew front pocket to front piece and back side to back piece. I’ve been sewing 50 years and never have seen this way to sew pockets! Thanks so much!

    Thank you so much Rachel. This is fantastic. I am a visual learner and following instructions doesn’t always work for me. This tutorial is so clear. I really appreciate you taking the time to do this.

    This will now be my most watched You Tube video along with your invisible zip tutorial which I follow every time I insert a zip (even though I probably don't NEED to anymore, it gives me confidence I won't forget anything). Thank you so much. If you get chance, I'd love some more of your top tips because they're so useful and you're so clear at explaining everything.

    Hi Rachel that's how I do my side seam pockets so beautiful and secured. When I was making scrubs during the lockdown for NHS I cannot remember the lady's name her free pattern to make scrubs for the NHS had the same construction how to make the pocket like you have demonstrated. I haven't turned back. It is a perfect way and a beautiful way to have pockets like that. Very professional. Thank you for sharing XXX

  • @beccab6568
    @beccab6568 Рік тому

    Genius! I rarely include the inseam pockets in my makes because they invariably turned out wonky, floppy, and generally unflattering. I just tried this technique on a pair of batik viscose (what could go wrong?) beach pants and OMG -- it was a revelation. Thank you so much. Keep the great tips coming!

    Brilliant tutorial!!! Excellent idea for TTT's ... I love things like this that are so easy to follow and understand, thank you for doing it so well ... Even I understood it but would struggle reading it on a pattern. Collars and bust adjustments, zips .... how about how to measure and fit sleeves to a sleevess dress or shirt pattern???? Thanks again Rachel, fab tutorial!!

  • @dlg1603
    @dlg1603 Рік тому +2

    You made it so clear! I always mess up on pockets, with all the pieces and steps! I would love to see a tutorial on slits, different kinds of slits. Like at the top of a blouse with a button loop, and at the bottom side seam of a blouse with a curved hem.

  • @rebeccaw9656
    @rebeccaw9656 Рік тому

    Excellent, love it! Some things that were game changers for me in my sewing journey (and may be helpful to others), was learning how to substitute facings for bias binding; learning how to lower darts; learning how to use guiding stitching to eliminate the frustrations of a rolled hem. Looking forward to future tutorials. To this day, I still haven’t done an invisible zipper, or sewn in stretch fabric - although that’s coming up very soon after I finish my first denim skirt (my oh my what a learning curve too😂).
