  • Sewing Mitred Corners. A mitred corner, in simplest terms, looks to join two edges (be it corners of patch pockets or vents in skirts), together in a diagonal direction to form a sharp and distinguished corner.
    The corner is sewn into place and bulk removed.
    Thankfully, sewing a mitred corner is an easy thing to achieve and can be adapted to fit many sewing projects.

    That is one awesome video tutorial. As well as sewing instructions I wish you could give filming and presentation classes to various television companies who transmit craft programmes that are nowhere near so clearly delivered.

      Hello Celia, Thank you so much for the huge compliment.

  • @TheAnswerJan
    @TheAnswerJan 10 років тому +1

    Beautiful work, great job explaining, as you didn't waste time. Too many people think they have to rival Steven Spielberg, so their videos are too long. Didn't know how those corners were done, & I've sewn for many years. Love it!

  • @eligatica
    @eligatica 10 років тому

    Very helpful, yes indeed. Additionally, your videos are well produced, being just the right amplitude in sound, succinct and to the point, and easy to follow. Thank you for the great videos! I wish you lived closer...I would buy you a beer (root beer or alcoholic type) and pizza. Keep up the excellent tutorials!

    Short, very clear & concise. I've been reading about how to create a mitered corner, but seeing it made it much more understandable. I've subscribed & I'm going to browses all of your videos for more instruction. I'm new to sewing & I can use all the help I can find. Kudos!

    Yehhhhhh I managed a mitre corner with watching your tutorial, thank you very much. I am no seamstress but that was an easy way to do them 👍😍hopefully I will have a go at making proper napkins, rather than paper ones.

    THANK YOU!!! For this clear easy to follow video ......... I have a beautiful old hand crochet table cloth edging . It needs a new linen centre. I had no idea how to do the amazingly neat corners.! But now I do and after I have a little (or a lot of !!) practice on a scrap of material I hope I will be able to do good enough job to justify this wonderful piece of handy work . Fingers crossed :)

    Hi, I love the video- it's really clear. How would you do a meat corner like this if you wanted the hem turned twice to give a neater finish? I don't know if I've explained it well enough but thanks in advance for your help x

    • @MadMonique
      @MadMonique 5 років тому

      if you have a hem that is turned once, just iron it down before following Colleen's instructions. Then, after you have done the mitered corners, press and pin the turned under edges and top stitch. Result: hemmed edges and mitered corner without having to baste stitch (although you could if you were not used to top-stitching). You only need to fold the fabric once, not twice to get an enclosed hem. Good Luck
