I would love for you to show more close up details with explanation on how you do your seam bindings, please. I am concerned about putting woven using woven binding on knit garments. I am interested to know the steps in applying it so that it looks neat an l on the outside. You always achieve such nice-looking makes, and I like how you explain things.

Hi tammy! I show how to do the binding here kzitem.info/news/bejne/top-2J1qjIthfqQsi=tWySa63rBXbCxkoq it’s with knit but it’s the exact same principle with woven. Just doing it at the back of the neckband leaves with stretch at the front to still fit over your head and it gives a lovely finish! Hope it helps, if not please let me know!! Thanks for watching!

That blouse is so elegant with its sleeve frills and the colour is gorgeous on you. I adore the sweater with those pockets. However when I saw that neckline, I almost had PTSD from my recent experience 😂. It does look a slightly different construction and yours has come out so well especially considering it was a larger neck band. So glad you've had a successful sewing week, you deserved that. I really like the idea of woven t shirts and sweatshirts, I may give that a go for summer rather than jersey all the time. Thanks so much for always entertaining us with fabulous content ❤.

What a nice selection of makes for just one week! Your quilting is such a beautiful and artistic use of your sewing skills! Do I spy your quilt on the couch behind? Yours or not…it makes a room look sooo cozy! The neckline on the Misusu sweatshirt is very cool! I haven’t seen anything like it! And dinosaur binding!? So fun! I don’t know if anyone in the sewing community goes through as much binding as you do! 😉 can’t wait to see this Frocktails dress…a stunner in the making! Hope the sewing goes smoothly…now is not the time for any bumps in the road! There is a party to go to! ☺️

@TheFrenchSeams_vlog

Thanks Anne!! For top stitching, sometimes I use a twin needle, sometimes I use maraflex thread with a straight stitch as it has some stretch but most of the time, and in this case, I just used regular thread but lengthened my stitch length as this doesn’t necessarily need to stretch and it came out really well. Personally I don’t like the look of a zig zag stitch! Hope that helps!
