In this sewing tutorial, I will talk about sewing thread sizes and how to choose a correct thread size for your project.
The subject of sewing thread sizes is a vast one but the one you need to understand if you want to master sewing.
Because of the diversity of materials and construction methods, it’s not easy to categorize the threads. And a thread is always used (well, almost always) in combination with a needle, so at some point, we have to deal with the thread size together with the recommended needle size.
In this guide I am focusing on different types of threads for sewing. There are many types of sewing thread. How many? Well, it’s hard to say but I would guess the number is in high hundreds.
This tutorial will try to help organize ideas and present alternatives for the user and it’s intended as a guide to help save time and efforts when selecting a thread for a sewing project.
This term “flat felled seam” sounds to me a little bit too professional but the technique itself is pretty simple and can be widely used in home sewing.
Flat felled seams can be usually found on denim because they are very strong and durable. But they can be used on silk fabric also. I like to use them even on chiffon and organza (together with French seams). Maybe I am the only one but anyway, to me flat felled seams look awesome. I used them recently while sewing my silk fitted sheet. So I can assure you that they are really as suitable for delicate silk fabric as they are suitable for denim.
Fabric flowers are not only stylish and beautiful, but also very simple to make, even for beginners. Just study the instructions in detail, pick up a photo for inspiration and feel free to proceed step by step to work.
In this video sewing tutorial I will show you how to sew a simple fabric headband with buttons. We are going to use the buttons to attach a face mask. Actually, I made 3 different headbands from different fabrics. This is an easy sewing project even for beginners.
