Description

The Sewing Book: Over 300 Step-by-Step Techniques

 

Threads

Failure to choose the correct thread can spoil your project and lead to problems with the stitch quality of the sewing machine or serger.

Useful Extras

There are many more accessories that can be purchased to help with your sewing, and knowing which products to choose and for which job can be daunting.

Notions

The term notions covers all the bits and pieces that sewers tend to need, for example fasteners such as buttons, snaps, hooks, and eyes, and Velcro. But notions also includes elastics, ribbons, trims of all types, and boning.

Collars

All collars consist of a minimum of two pieces, the upper collar (which will be on the outside) and the under collar. Interfacing, which is required to give the collar shape and structure, if often applied to the upper collar to give a smoother appearance to the fabric.

Envelope Cushion

This attractive cushion with matching covered buttons is quick and easy to make; an ideal project for beginners. It is made using just three pieces—one front and two back pieces—to create the envelope, and requires just 20 inches of fabric using an economical cutting layout.
