Welcome back to my channel – I’m Sara. Thanks for your patience for this Part 3 video of the Maple Skirt series. In Parts 1 & 2 we drafted our pattern and made the skirt, and Part 3 is all about the hem! In this video, I’ll show you 3 different hem types and how to sew them, along with tips for sewing a curved hem. Modifying the hem is a simple way to add variety to a skirt and I hope this video equips you to experiment with different hems on your Maple as well as on any future dresses.

———-

The Straight Hem is the classic choice as it conveys a timeless, clean, and polished look to the outfit. It is often associated with traditional, formal, or business attire.

The High-Low Hem is generally considered more fashionable and is trend-driven. It is often used in more casual or relaxed outfits, but can also add an element of drama to a more formal piece.

The Side Low High Hem: This design is associated with a more bohemian or free-spirited vibe thanks to its flowing and uneven lines. It is often used in casual and relaxed outfits. It can give an easy-going, breezy feel to the garment, reflecting a laid-back and artistic mood.

Which one is your favourite? Tag me @yoursara_k and #SewingTherapyMaple on your Maple Skirt so that I can celebrate your make with you!

How To Sew Jale Dress From Schnittchen Patterns | Garment Sewing Tutorial From Sewing Therapy

May 15, 2023 May 15, 2023 Garment Sewing Tutorials / Sew Along 2023

Welcome back to Sewing Therapy. I’m Sara and I invite you to sew a Jale Dress with me. The Jale is a new pattern by Schnittchen Patterns that is a Blouse or Dress with an oversized fit with wide cuffed three-quarters length sleeves. Schnittchen recently relaunched their shop along with some new patterns and I had the pleasure of making the Jale Dress! Congratulations Schnittchen Patterns on your shop relaunch and we are excited to see what the future holds for you!

I found the Jale to be perfect for the transition between seasons as it can be worn as a shacket or a standalone dress. Although the dress has an oversized fit, it still retains a feminine tone and shape, which is something I really love about it. I added pockets to mine as I always feel the need to have somewhere to put my hands. The Jale has some really lovely details and I’m feeling delighted with how my newest dress is coming along!

And to celebrate their new pattern, Schnittchen Patterns is generously offering our Sewing Therapy community a discount! You can find more details in the description section below.

Before we get into the pattern, just a quick highlight of the subscribe to help us grow our Sewing Therapy community. Thank you!

Schnittchen Patterns kindly offer Sewing Therapy community 15% of the Jale!

How To Sew A Button Up Shirt For Beginners – Feat. Cameron Button Up By Helen’s Closet

May 3, 2023 May 3, 2023 Garment Sewing Tutorials / Sew Along 2023

Hello and welcome back to Sewing Therapy. I’m Sara, I love to sew along with you and it’s been a while since I made a sew-along video! Today’s sew-along is for the Cameron Button Up. Lately, I have been preoccupied with creating short-form content as well as collaborating with CBC …

HOW TO SEW A STYLISH PHEN SHIRT – The Ultimate Step-by-Step Sewing Guide

February 5, 2023 February 25, 2023 Garment Sewing Tutorials / Sew Along 2023

Hello and welcome back to Sewing Therapy. I’m Sara and today I’m sewing a Phen Shirt by Pattern Fantastique. When Nicole from Finchley Designs generously gifted me her self-designed fabric printed from Spoonflower, she also sent me the Phen Shirt pattern – thank you, Nicole! I envision making a really cute and unique Phen Shirt with this khaki-printed modern jersey fabric. But since the gifted fabric is precious to me, I first made a wearable muslin using a green linen fabric to avoid any mistakes in my final version. You’ll be able to see my second Phen Shirt made using this fabric on my social media! Thanks to Nicole, I am able to make this top and I invite you to join me!

Do you recall the Vali Dress video from about a year or so ago? That pattern was also by Pattern Fantastique and I am a huge fan of their designs as they are one-of-a-kind and really well-crafted. Pattern Fantastique describes the Phen shirt as the not-so-classic, classic shirt and I love these dramatic oversized batwing sleeves and the very unique nipped-in high hip hemline. However, it can be challenging to envision how the shirt is made as it is constructed uniquely and they rate the skill level as intermediate/advanced. But I am here to help you and sew along with you!

All three versions give off very different moods with the only difference being the collar styles. It can be unclear as to which collar is which, as there is no identification provided. My guess is that the version with the collar stand only must be Collar Option A and the other is Collar Option C, according to what the pattern pieces are called in the instructions. All three options are charming, and today I will make Option C with you. The process is the same for all options so please choose the style that you like best.

Nikko Top by True Bias | Sew Along Tutorial from Sewing Therapy

January 10, 2023 February 25, 2023 Garment Sewing Tutorials

Hello and welcome back to Sewing Therapy. I’m Sara and I invite you to sewalong with me. If you’ve been following me on social media, you may have noticed that I have been binge-sewing turtleneck tops. When I reached out to you for suggestions for additional patterns, several of you suggested the Nikko Top by True Bias. So today’s video is to sew a Nikko Top!

Turtleneck tops are generally beginner-friendly projects, especially if you need to overcome any fear of sewing stretch fabrics, as you don’t need to worry about an imperfect neckline showing. This video is a quick one and I’ll sew a basic top. And for all beginners out there, I include my favourite tips for sewing rib knit fabrics, one of my favourite cold-weather stretch fabrics. Please stay tuned for the next video that will cover various sleeve hem options that look good on stretch fabric garments: slits and thumbholes!

There are numerous turtleneck top patterns options out there that each have their own charm. After watching this video, browse to find your favourite and let’s get sewing together. Before we start cutting fabric, let me highlight a few things that you can do to help support the Sewing Therapy community. Simply click subscribe, like, and ring the notification bell. Every click is much appreciated. Let’s get started.

Before I go on, don’t forget to subscribe for the latest sewing tutorial video I make. Thank you.
