    What excellent teaching skills you have! You led me through the entire process, of course the second sleeve was less intimidating. Your explanations and demonstrations of all the steps were perfect.
    I earned how to sew by my mother when i was a young teen and wanted to make my own clothes. Now, at 68 years old I’m relearning and discovering seam finishes and proper pressing and fitting to make garments that are far above in quality than what I can get in a clothing store. Thank you so much!

    This is the first time I’ve seen a sleeve put. In with a French seam. The demo and verbal instructions were easy to follow. I will try this in a future sewing project. Thank you.

    Thanks. This is my preferred method too, even when not doing a French seam. I know that many sewers recommend sewing in the flat but I find this much more precise. I have a serger so do not use French seams much but I will try this. It is much prettier than serged. It is good to show viewers, like you do, how fiddly this is so they know what to expect. Sometimes people make it look really smooth and don’t show how you have to manipulate the fabric. Great video.

      I’m glad you liked it! I very very rarely sew a sleeve in flat (usually only when I’m flat felling the sleeve and underarm). I find the sleeve functions better if set-in. But if someone likes sewing it in flat-I think that works great too. And yes sewing is super fiddly sometimes, isn’t it!!?

    Strangely enough, we call these English seams in French. A little tricky either way! Why don't you set the sleeve before sewing the sides? It seems so much easier but there might be a good reason. Great instruction.

    • @SewSewLive
      @SewSewLive  Рік тому +2

      I’ve heard that! So funny. You can sew the sleeve in the other way if you prefer. I find the sleeve fits and hangs better when you keep the armhole in a complete circle. And it isn’t disrupted by the underarm seam going through it. Do I how you like best 🙂

    Thank you sooo much! I followed your basic “setting a sleeve” tutorial last night when I got home from work and wanted to finish my first set-in sleeve (Helen’s Closet Ashton expansion: straight short-sleeve). It only took me about 2hours to sew the rest of the top together, but took me about another 2 hours to do the sleeves (I figured out the French seams, but wanted to make sure I had it right this morning, or ways to make it easier, after I got some sleep lol). I thought I’d never do that again when I went to bed at midnight, exhausted but successful, but as usual, your positivity, patience, and reassurance watching this has me thinking maaaybeeee…. You’re sew great! (Sorry, I just couldn’t resist-I really tried)😊

    • @SewSewLive

    I am in open-mouthed awe! 🤩 No pins in sight! I'm going to try that on my next sleeves; I've had problems in the past with curved seams binding or pulling when done this way, so I just stopped. For sleeves, I'm of the set-in, hand-basted school - this allows me to sew in the sleeve evenly without any pins. Great video!

    • @SewSewLive
      @SewSewLive  3 роки тому

      I’m so glad it’s helpful! I’m not anti-pin I just find they get in the way sometimes when I have my machine to help. And I do think some folks use too many because it leads to pin management. Not fabric management which is what we’re doing. We’re the boss of that fabric! 🤣

    • @SewSewLive
      @SewSewLive  Рік тому

      Absolutely! Make sure you give yourself enough seam allowance (I think I used 5/8” in the video so adjust yours to match). Once your seam allowance is what you need you can follow the video. You need your shoulders and side seams sewn on the garment. And the underarm seam of the sleeve sewn. Then you can go for it! Good luck!

    I'd heard/seen you talk about french-seaming set-in sleeves, so it's really cool to see you actually do it! I tend to sew with slippery fabrics like silk, so whenever I see you casually sew something like this without using 50 pins, I'm petrified and in awe at the same time. :D

    • @SewSewLive
      @SewSewLive  4 роки тому

      Oh you haven’t heard me say I don’t sew with slippery fabrics have you? 😂 if anyone is impressed it’s me with the fabrics you sew! And I certainly use pins sometimes. They’re really helpful! Maybe I’ll do a video on this sometime. There’s nothing wrong with using them! A good pattern that is accurately cut out of fabric helps a lot to line things up without too much fuss. And I find sometimes pins will slow me down. Just do what works for you!

    Thank you for this! I am making a simple dress from double gauze using French seams. Because it frays, I am thinking about first using a zig zag stitch for the edges and then sewing the French seam. I am wondering if I do this, should I zig zag the two pieces of fabric separately or together? Is there a better approach I’m not thinking of? Much appreciation for all you do for the sewing community!

    • @SewSewLive
      @SewSewLive  3 роки тому +2

      I think if you’re doing a French seam, securing the fraying edge isn’t necessary but if it helps make it more manageable, go for it. And I’d do the layers together. There are folks who Serge the first pass when French seaming. This is a nice little trick for some fabrics but it can make it bulky or the texture of the threads can show through your finished French seam. Double gauze is so awkward to work with. I wonder if a zig zag close to the edge might make it scrunch up a bit. You might find it better to straight stitch the edges together instead. It’s more stable. Good luck!

    • @SewSewLive
      @SewSewLive  Місяць тому

      I use flat felled seams for armholes and side seams on almost all of the men’s wear shirts I sew. Unfortunately I don’t have a video with a tutorial for an armhole. I only have the one I’ll link here. But if you go to my mens wear playlist, look for a button up (and look for time stamps in the descriptions) you can find me sewing this many times in a live stream. Good luck! It’s a nice finish! I love it. Just make sure there’s no ease in the cap and the cap isn’t too peaked. You also have to sew it in flat. Not in the round like I did in this video.

    • @SewSewLive
      @SewSewLive  Місяць тому

      Yes! Meaning done sew the side seam of the shirt or the underarm of the sleeve first. You’ll find it a lot easier to sew the sleeve to the shirt with both of these unsewn. Once you finish that flat fell seam, you then see the whole underarm/side seam combo. I recommend putting your placket on the sleeve while it’s flat too. And the cuff after the long underarm seam is sewn.

      Yes you can French seam a gathered edge. It’s not my favorite since it’s a little thready to manage. Make sure you have 5/8” seam allowance or similar. You’ll need it to wrap around the bulk. Make sure you manage the seam very well. Tidy it up, straighten the gathers, trim, press. All of that. And it’ll be just fine.

    When drafting your own sleeve, how do you know where to put your front and back notches? Is there a standard measurement? This is the best sleeve technique I've seen. :)

      You can put them wherever you like! Especially since it’s YOUR pattern. But yes this is one of the handful of standards: 3” for the front on the seam line and 3” and 3.5” for the back. (From the underarm).

    I’ve been looking to find the type of fabric you were using. Will you reply to this comment.

      I’m using a quilting cotton. This isn’t a typical fabric for a blouse but it’s closer to the weight of a button up shirt. Most blouse fabrics will have more drape. Hope that helps!

    I thought a French seam was like a flat-fell seam...meaning no raw edges showing.

    • @SewSewLive
      @SewSewLive  7 місяців тому +1

      Ah! No they’re quite different. And neither has raw edges showing. They both clean finish the seam. Here’s a short video about the difference and where to use them: Flat Felled Seams vs. French Seams The Difference and How to Sew
