Walking feet are great, but if you don't have one, another trick is to use some light interfacing to stabilize that area before you sew it. It will align better and not shift around and stretch in the weave as you sew.

I use this method for matching back zipper installation or buttoned fronts. For a front seam, I just fold back the seam allowance and cut on a fold, eliminating the unnecessary seam. For a planned placement of large motifs on front, I would fold back seam allowance, trace the full front bodice or skirt shape onto tissue paper, then shift that shape around to get a pleasing look.
@tashacouldmakethat
7 ай бұрын
You can't always avoid a center front seam. The example I showed was one where I wasn't able to fit the entire front due to narrow yardage (as I said in the beginning). I was initially going to add a notch to make it make more visual 'sense' that there would be a CF seam, but in the end it was so invisible, I didn't bother. I can't even see the seam when I'm wearing it, and the seam is 6 inches from my nose. 😂

Was thinking last night about this and thought running a line of Taylor’s chalk down the edge of the matched first pattern piece, marking the edge hem of pattern and neck line also, then laying the second pattern piece so the seam allowance hangs over the Taylor’s chalk line. You’re got me thinking.

You're so welcome! I don't sew a lot of princess seams but I think the answer is partially-- you wouldn't be able to get it to be perfect on the curved part but you definitely can below the bust where it's straight, using this general technique.

This is awesome! What if you folded the seam allowance on the pattern up instead instead of under as a visual reminder?
@tashacouldmakethat
7 ай бұрын
Thanks! Yep you can do that. I just tend to fold one way or the other and place the pattern piece based on what makes most sense for the project-not strictly left or right, since I may be shorter on fabric towards one side of the print than that other-and since I’m often using a bodice multiple times, for me I don’t always do it the same way each time. I’ve never forgotten to unfold it but given that I accidentally cut off my seam allowance on two spots in my last video I felt it was worth the warning. 😂

@tashacouldmakethat

Thanks! I honestly can't give an exact number, but I would say not too much extra unless what you're matching is a really big piece. If it's just a bodice piece, I don't actually buy anymore and pretty much always manage to squeeze it in!! But maybe an extra 1/4 yard to be safe.

Great tips! I’m about to try to make pants with plaid for the first time? Do you match across the crotch line or start with outer leg seams?
@tashacouldmakethat
7 ай бұрын
Ooh plaid pants! I sewed a pair that are one of my favorite jobs of print and plaid matching. (I’m wearing them in my top vintage coats video if you want to see them.) Plaid is its own beast in many respects but you’ll want to think through from the crotch seam out to the side seams. The side seams are curved so you can’t really match the print at the seam but you can match the plaid lines horizontally at the side seams and it’ll have a nice chevron down the sides. Plus the center front and back are more visually important to have the plaid placed nicely across the seam or mirrored across.

And what do you do about dresses with no waistline seam that flare out?
@tashacouldmakethat
7 ай бұрын
Do you mean like a center front or back seam that extends from the bodice all the way down to the skirt? You can still do it if you have enough fabric. If it’s straight all the way down, no problem. Just exactly as I described. And if the seam starts to curve as it gets to the waistline or hip or wherever, that’s just the point where it’ll stop being able to match. I’ve only done it once on a dress like this but it worked nicely. I was using a small scale check/plaid and the bodice was matched perfectly and as it got to the skirt where the seam started flaring out it chevroned.
