How to Stabilize the Back Neck and Shoulder Seams of a T Shirt like Ready-to-Wear
Просмотров 6 тыс.3 года назад
Sewing your own t shirts is probably one of the most rewarding sewing projects ever. You can sew several in a day because they’re just so quick to sew up and you’ll likely get tons of wear out of them. But with wear comes stretched out, wonky seams in those high wear areas like the neck and shoulder seams. That’s why in many ready to wear t shirts, you’ll see a strip of fabric sewn over the sea...

What Needle To Use for Sewing Swimwear
Thanks for a great vid! How much smaller is the elastic? Is it also 20% smaller like the binding was? Thanks!
The measurements you provided didn’t work for me bc I’m a diff size…
Worked perfectly! Thanks ❤
Does anyone know if this same technique can be used to enclose side seams? Serger seams itch me so much I wear items inside out. JOY
Thank you for this clear and simple pattern drafting video. Do you have a tutorial on how to sew the pattern?😀
Great thank you! Currently hemming and encountered this problem 😅
What's the width of the elastic you're using in this video?
I'm sewing a Handkerchief with tow different fabrics Both 100% cotton. One fabric with a design, on one side and Flannel on the other side. should I use "Feather weight interfacing" ( non woven) in-between the fabrics ? Will the interfacing keep the fabrics from shifting away from each other after the Handkerchief is washed or do I need to run stitching across the fabric to keep them together ? Thank you.

I wonder why those shoes are so beautiful. Turn out there is blood sacrifice involved in the process. That is definitely necessary for any incredible shoemaking.
Thank you so much very big help. You save me ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi ! Could we see this on a swimsuit please? THANKS !
What are your serger settings, my serger keeps eating the beginning of the strap
Awesome! I can do that! I just subscribed!!
Very helpful tutorial with stitching instructions and was looking for such video for a while now i can try and stitch my first ever Bra😊 Thank you for sharing your experience.❤
LOVE IT! You're the best, Carmen !!!
Oh heck yeah! I'm obsessed too. Watched so many videos and yours is the BEST!! Love the video - great teacher, new subscriber from Florida.
This was really helpful, thank you! :D
I am SO glad I found your tutorial! the most helpful bra-making vid I've ever watched! I'm an avid thrifter but have not purchased underwear this way. I too have a bra I love and cannot find another one anywhere. Not willing to cut it up so working to get the cup the right fit. Then my journey to copying it is just ahead! Thank you!!
You've got skills 👍
Watched your video to help my wife with turning loops, very easy with your simple explanation. Thank you
Great advise
Very helpful thanks
Great fabric, great tutorial, great job, beautiful espadrilles ❤
линейка для припусков лежит под рукой, а вы размечаете огромной линейкой для печворка
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you So much! I was So frustrated but I changed needle and thread , rethreaded it all and it’s perfect again! Blessings on you for sharing your knowledge. 💕
Great advice thanks! Yes, I'm big on using new needles now! My last skipped stitch issue, however, was caused by years of gunk built up in the hook race on my vintage Elna Supermatic. The bobbin case needs room to jiggle a little to work properly and the gunk was preventing this. After giving it a thorough clean it now works like new again, making perfect fashion cam stitches even at full speed!
Absolutely amazing. I’ve changed the needle and it cured the problem! I was really worried how I could solve this. Thanks to you I can resume my project. Many thanks for your wisdom. 👍🏽❤️🙏🏼
Thank you Carmen! I was cheap thread all along. I spent hours troubleshooting before I found your video.
Thank you so much for helping me fix two hoodies ❤❤❤
My needle is skipping seriously
You remind me of Pam from the office- in a good way! i mean this as a compliment :)
Thank you for showing this. I've been sitting here struggling with this loop Turner and couldn't figure out how to do it. My name is Zelda and I have a RUclips channel called Zelda sews. I would love you to stop by and say hello! I love supporting other people who sew, so I subscribed!😅
Thank you so much for allowing us to tag along on this bra-making journey. I love your creation & I am grateful for all that you shared.
My polyester fabric broke 😭
Hi ...I am new to making swim wear ...I Am finding that after about 50 stitches I get a skipped stitch then another 50ish stitches ..then skipped stitch ...is it is the case that there will always be the odd skipped stitch as this is the best result I can get
Thank you! I was using the wrong type of needle
This is beyond good! I couldn’t figure out how a T-shirt that had this was made. Thank you. And such an attainable finish with fabric from the project and a straight stitch
Thank you! Your videos have been helpful. 😊👍🇨🇦
This is one of the most common clothing repair requests at Repair Cafés. This is really helpful! It's great to see someone just try and solve problems as they come across them. Anyone can try!😊
I love when people "rescue" their clothing. ❤
That is the first time someone has explained it and it made sense to me! Also love that the video is short and to the point. Found out exactly what I needed to know!❤
Thank you!! I saw a blue swimsuit with white piping on the neck and legs for sale US$120. As i already made some swimsuits , i thought that i would look on youtube for a tutorial on how to apply piping to the armholes and neck etc. AND i found you!! Thank you so much for this VERY helpful tutorial!! You made my day!! ❤
:excuse me, can I ask the name of the sponge used for sewing milk?
Are your bindings cut with grain, across the grain or against the grain?
If it is 4-way stretch swimwear material would matter?
I cut mine across the grain, so that the direction of greatest stretch runs lengthwise down the binding.
Best French seam video EVER! 🤩
I'm trying unsuccessfully but will keep persevering. Thank you
Thank you, this was very helpful
Hi, thank you for the vid, which is really informative and nicely explained. I shall come back to you if your suggestions didnt help me to solve the skipping stitches problem. Many thanks n best wishes.
