So, I laid the pieces together, face sides out, sewed a seam with a 1/2 inch allowance, and trimmed one side of the allowance to just under 1/4 inch.
Then I folded the larger allowance over the trimmed side and pressed. I did this before pressing the seam open because I figured it would be less fiddly.
After pressing the pieces open I stitched 1/16 from the edge of the fold.
Here's the seam from the back.
And from the front.
A very pretty seam!
A very pretty seam indeed! So much neater than my sewing - I must get better at that.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for sharing all your hard work - I just recently found your blog and have been enjoying it very much!
a beautiful seam indeed! :)
ReplyDeleteVery even and straight. I tried flat felled seams on a shirt once, and not one of them was the same width. It was with my old sewing machine too, which refused to sew in a straight line. So none of the seams ran parallel either. If ever a description were needed for a 'homemade' look, my shirt was it.
ReplyDeleteYours are beautiful.
That material is gorgeous! The best one yet!
ReplyDeleteoh, nice effect.
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies for sharing in the flat felled seam joy!
