How to Print and Assemble PDF Sewing Patterns

Today’s video is a big one! I share my top reasons why pdf patterns are awesome (just in case you’re not already convinced). Then I share my top tips for how to successfully print pdf patterns (including the printer settings you need to make sure the entire pattern prints on the page). And finally I show how to efficiently assemble and cut the pattern. I even show you the techniques I learned in design school for safely using an exacto knife or blade. I’ve never cut off a finger using these techniques so hopefully it will help you and keep your fingers safe too!

How to Sew a Slip Stitch by Hand - VIDEO TUTORIAL

I love using my sewing machine but there are times that I prefer to sew by hand. And most of the time, I use a slip stitch. The slip stitch is very useful in place of topstitching on hems and bias facings when sewing with delicate fabric. The magic of this stitch is that it is nearly invisible from the right side of the garment. And because it’s invisible, even if you have a difficult fabric, no one will know that your stitches aren’t perfect.

If you are looking for ways to slow down your sewing practice, hand sewing is a great practice. Not only will you have a beautiful garment, but you’ll get to relax a little bit into the process and really take your time and take care of your fabric.

Video Tutorial - How to sew a t-shirt Neckband from Sew DIY

A few weeks ago, I asked on my Instagram what people had the most problems with when sewing t-shirts. Far and away the most common reply was the neckband. In today’s video, I take you through the whole process of sewing a knit neckband in the round (see last week’s video for how to sew it flat) AND I give you some tips for identifying whether your neckband is too large or too small.

I hope that this video is helpful for you. Let me know in the comments if there are any other videos that you’d like to see. And if you haven’t already, I’d be thrilled and honored if you follow me on Youtube. Happy sewing!
