Sewing the pieces of a dress will no longer resist.
Hello!! I bring you the second video tutorial on sewing. This week is the turn to the second step to create any garment: SEW THE PIECES.
This video is a basic way of joining the pieces of a garment. I do it this way but each person uses the one that suits them best or the one they have learned. It’s with subtitles in spanish.
After trying many ways to join the pieces, this was the one that best suited me and I started using it.
What I show in the video is how to join the pieces of the front and back in the body by the shoulders. It is a very basic dress without tweezers and the opening has it in the front center. It is a button opening.
If your garment has tweezers, these are the first ones that you have to sew before you start with this step.
Translation
- We will make a double hem for both sides in the front center.
- We join the pieces that form the front body with a simple seam. But we do not join the central part.
As you can see in the video I have finished the edges so they do not fray. I used a zigzag stitch very close to the seam edge. This will also help me to know where I have to sew. It is made below this stitch.
If you have a seaming machine I recommend you use it to make that step. The edge is completely finished with a more professional finish that is what we are looking for. Some domestic sewing machines also have that point of overlock.
Another way to finish
Another way to finish the pieces, is to do it after joining the pieces.
When you have already joined the pieces and sewed is when you do the zigzag auction or with the serger. But you must take into account the seams that are open (each edge on one side of the seam) or closed (the two edges on the same side.
Here is a list of where each seam goes:
Open
- Shoulders
- Crotch in the pants
- Sides os the skirt.
- Laterals of the body. /t-shirts, Shirts, Blouses, dresses, etc.)
Closed
- Waist. (To the ground)
- Sleeves (Towards the inside of the sleeves).
- The pleats. (Each clamp to its nearest side).
