Make Clothing from Scratch
Have you ever thought about sewing your own clothes? If not, now is the time! There are many reasons why you may want to sew your own clothing: it can be more cost effective, you can make better quality items, and it’s a great way to express yourself. Here are some tips and tricks for sewing your own clothes from start to finish.
-The first thing you’ll need to know is how to sew a straight line. Sewing machines will make this process much simpler, but if you’re using a regular needle and thread then it’s important that your stitches are tight. If the thread isn’t taut, then the fabric won’t hold together as well when sewn or washed in hot water.
-The second thing to know is how to sew a seam. This is the most difficult part of sewing, but it’s also very important – and you’ll need to have mastered this before going on to any other steps.
-The third thing that you’ll want to know is how to make buttonholes for buttons or zippers. If these are needed in your finished product, then you will need to master making them beforehand so they can be applied properly with ease later on down the line.
Do you know how to pick the fabric? ILIV Fabrics offer a wide of variety of different materials that you can use.
-When picking out a piece of fabric it’s important not just look at its color and patterns but also if it stretches well when pulled (you may have this information listed somewhere on the bolt). Some fabrics are less stretchy than others which might cause issues while sewing – such as extra effort, tight stitches, and puckering throughout seams – especially when using thick materials like denim jeans.
