How to sew sleeves

Publicada el 17 de febrero de 2019 por AbelisDesigner

Sewing sleeves, that great enemy.

Hello! How many of us have been afraid to face sewing sleeves? Until recently I only made summer clothes without sleeves.

But I lost the fear of sewing sleeves thanks to a teacher who taught me a super easy method to sew them. And today I want to share it with you.

Translation

The sleeves go straight with the curve of the front and back.
Follow the curve.
We will move the fabric with the needle inserted in it to be able to turn the fabric above and create the shape.

This way of doing it is the one that I use for everything. It is easier to turn around and sew it. And if you have to fix something, it’s better to remove it.

You can use it with any type of sleeve or garment, you just have to remember to leave the sides without sewing and open the garment well. And the shoulder seams must be open. In the previous post you have what it means.

It is a curve seam, you must pay attention to go turning without moving and give the necessary pickets. Of this I will speak to you in next post.

And the next post will not be about sewing. I have a new call to be a tester of summer patterns. If you are interested do not miss the March 1 post where I explain everything you need to know to try the patterns.

And put into practice what you have learned in the videos

How to pass the patterns to fabric

Hello!!! Here come the sewing tutorial videos, and the first is How to pass the patterns to fabric.

The first thing to say is that I do not have a professional camera or a sewing workshop where to work, so I apologize for the poor quality of the video and for seeing me on the floor.

In this videotutorial we will see how to pass the patterns to the fabric and cut the pieces. My employers go without margins and in most cases, unless I put the instructions usually go without them.

Video pass the patterns to the fabric

In the video, you have the steps that are going to be followed. They are the same ones that I use in the instructions so if you buy a pattern in the store and you get lost in one of the steps you just have to follow the video.

It is a very simple and easy step to follow. First thing is to know how to differentiate the edge of the fabric. Fold leaving the selvedges together and put the pieces that go to spine (in the fold of the cloth) the first ones.

A TIP: do not lift the fabric to put the safety pins. The fabric would move and it would not be the same.

The video is in spanish, but here I leave you the instructions translate them:

The patterns are placed on the back of the fabric, with the rights faced. We bend in a longitudinal direction, joining the selvedges of the fabric.
We hold the pieces with pins. The first one that we will place on the spine. It will be done by matching the fold line with the fold or spine of the fabric.
Draw the patterns with soap or roller and make the seam allowance to the entire contour (1.5cm).

And that’s all for this week. Do you follow other ways of doing it? Do you use a soap or a roller?

Sewing tutorial videos

Hello! I will be uploading videos of sewing tutorials to help you follow more easily the instructions of the patterns.

With these sewing tutorials with instructions of the steps in the video (only in Spanish), you will follow the instructions of my patterns more easily.

Most of the steps coincide in all the sewing tutorials, so it will always be the same video. I’ll be making videos as something new comes out that does not appear in the previous sewing tutorials.

Why video sewing tutorials?

Because videos are easier to follow and even if you do not speak the language in which the instructions are written, you can follow them without problems.

You will have them all in the blog so you do not miss any of them and always have them on hand. And for the new employers, I will put the links in the instructions so that you can go directly from there.

For those who are already made you only have to search here in the blog. With the search bar that is on the home page, with what you are looking for, Ready!

In the next week, we will start with the most basic and most important step of all. And what is also common to all:

How to pass the patterns to fabric

And every week (whenever possible) I’ll upload a new sewing tutorial on the blog.
