How to sew a French seam

Join me, Susan from Measure Twice Cut Once, as I take you through how to sew a French seam, often used on fine or see through fabrics or just to ensure a neat finish.

It’s also good for children or adults who don’t like the feel of seams or have sensory issues.

The enclosed nature of the seam makes it smoother and provides less points of irritation. More videos on a variety of seams will be coming soon. If you have any questions please add them down below.

Beginner Sewing – How to sew Not Paper Towels

 

Join me, Susan from Measure Twice Cut Once, as I take you through how to make Not Paper Towels, these are a great eco friendly sewing product that helps you reduce the amount of single use paper you use in the kitchen.

Once sewn they can be used in the place of paper towels then throw them in the wash to use again and again. Your best fabric choice is some cotton flannelette (try using old flannel sheets or pillowcases if you can’t find the fabric). You’ll be learning how to cut a straight line, sew a straight line, turn corners and finish the edges with a zig zag to help with longevity and reduce fraying in the wash.

Beginner Sewing – How to sew a Tote Bag

Join me, Susan from Measure Twice Cut Once, as I take you through how to sew a Tote Bag.

A Tote Bag is a great way for beginner sewers to learn straight sewing and the joy of making something incredibly useful. We will be learning how to sew straight lines and finish the edges to prevent fraying, creating a dimensional corner and attaching straps.

It’s a nice way to start building up your skills and end up with a useful tote.

For experienced sewers they are a great way to use up leftover scraps of fabrics and they make great presents for young and old.
