Catherine Holbrook on Instagram: "The mental gymnastics I have to do to wrap my mind around how this works 🤯🤯 One of the coolest tricks I’ve learned recently! This makes installing elastic into a waistband super easy, because you don’t have to insert it after the waistband is attached. You insert it FIRST, and it’s sewn into the waistband. Then attached. It prevents the elastic from shifting around within the waistband! So flipping cool! . #sewing #sewingtricks #sewingtips #tipsandtricks…

228K views · 9.7K reactions | If you’re working with a slightly curved hem and struggling with the excess fabric when hemming you need to flip your garment over and sew it from the right side. . I hear you saying “Lorenza I can’t sew from the right side, I can’t see where I’m sewing?!”
Yes. You. Can. Measure, mark and sew - it’s going to be fine. . Mark your hem with chalk/ pen, pin it and don’t worry about the bulk. Take it to your machine and sew it from the right side, so the hem is facing down. What will happen is those amazing feed dogs on your machine will take through the excess fabric faster than the top of the garment and your excess fabric won’t be an issue. . Bonus point being that the needle stitch is a nicer looking stitch so you get to see that on the right side of your garment too. . I sewed this on a domestic machine so you can see I’m not cheating with a fancy industrial machine. . Any questions? Let me know ❤️✨🪡✂️ . PLEASE NOTE: when I say ‘right hand side’ I meant to say only ‘right side’. . . . My name is Lorenza, I studied fashion and have been sewing for 25 years. I’m here to show you how to make your sewing look more professional. . #homesewing #ilovesewing #ilovetosew #imademyclothes #instasew #juki #learntosew #london #lovesewing #lovetosew #madebyme #madewithlove #makersgonnamake #newyork #melbourne #memade #millenialsewing #make #oneofakind #patterncutting #patterndrafting #patternmaking #paris #singer #fashion #diy #hobbies #hobby #sew #sewing | Lorenza Hallahan | lorenzathelabel · Original audio
Jessica Shaw on Instagram: "What are all of the different presser feet used for?! 🪡🙂 The ones that I use most (all purpose, zipper, button, etc) came with my machine, BUT you can buy these attachments for your machine in a bundle or separately! Whether you do garment sewing, quilting or more decorative things, it’s always fun to add some fun feet to your inventory! 🙂🦶 #sew #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #sewistofinstagram #sewing #sewingtips #singerambassador #singersewingmachine…
