I have a pattern for a full skirt that I've used 3 times now and still can't get the hem right. I think I can transfer this over to that (I'm a very beginner seamstress). Thanks so very much!!!Miss Penelope.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00667213292076090145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-81666761157718882282009-12-20T12:56:19.926-05:002009-12-20T12:56:19.926-05:00Wow, this was SO helpful :-) thank you so much for...Wow, this was SO helpful :-) thank you so much for this post! I just made a lightweight jacket out of wool and lined it with a silky (something or other that I acquired) and this would have saved me a lot of time. It had a very rounded hem as well and I ended up using vintage lace seam binding tape - I didn't ease the fullness correctly. It took me forever to sew by hand! Thankfully in the end, and with lots of careful catch-stitching it looked great. Next time I will be able to ease fullness the correct way, thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-88371298909235790732009-12-20T06:03:20.737-05:002009-12-20T06:03:20.737-05:00Hi Gertie!

I like it for basting and hand sewing. <br /><br />Kathi G, the interlining will actually be attached to the *lining* and then sewn as one. I'm using a lambswool interlining, and attaching it to the lining rather than the coat fabric reduces bulk between the facings and seam allowances. Watch the next step to see attaching the interlining to the lining!<br /><br />Trudy - cute bags!<br /><br />Ramona - I got the shirt at Urban Outfitters over ten years ago!Gertiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04314542159287533507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-29518939830543156312009-12-19T11:22:42.530-05:002009-12-19T11:22:42.530-05:00I have a question about interlining.

From what I've read (I am planning to make a coat next summer and I have been do some research) I thought the interlining was attached to the wool and treated as one piece before the coat was sewn together. I don't see an interlining on your wool. Are you putting one in and when will that happen?Kathi Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-45196297985868594382009-12-19T09:44:10.952-05:002009-12-19T09:44:10.952-05:00Gertie, your tutorials are really informative. I ...Gertie, your tutorials are really informative. I have been sewing for awhile, using only books as reference tool for my techniques and I have to admit I never really understood, "easing in fullness". I always thought "WTF do they mean?" and just kind of winged it. Now, after watching your vlog, I finally understand!!! Thank you. P.S. I'm curious about the thread you are using. It looks very strong. Is it silk embroidery thread??HouseCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01833511797142577950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-82350302696885400372009-12-19T07:15:53.194-05:002009-12-19T07:15:53.194-05:00Yay!

It's supposed to be such a small and easy step, but it's the thing that everyone will see. I have more than one thing hanging around that's finished but for the hem.

Wanted to let you know in case you would prefer that one over the other for the family project. It's decorating canvas tote bags with sliced painted apples.
