Maple Skirt Part. 3 – Hem Type 101

Garment Sewing Tutorials / Special Tutorials

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!

Happiest New Year to you! It’s Sara here, and I wanted to share a recap video of 2022 with you. Personally, it was a challenging year for me, namely due to my surgery in Korea which needed much more recovery time than I had expected. As a result, I wasn’t able to create as much content as I had planned, but I’m grateful that the surgery was a success and that 2022 was also the year I said goodbye to my facial spasm. I’m grateful for your support on my channel, as all your encouragement helped me to bounce back quicker. Thank you.

All About Neckline | Sewing Therapy Tips and Tricks

Special Tutorials / Useful Sewing Tips

Hello and welcome back to Sewing Therapy. Today’s video is a mashup of a series I did on my TikTok called “All About Necklines.” In this video, I’ll show you four different methods for finishing necklines including all my tried and true tips for a pucker-free finish. I’ll show you how to do a Bias Bound Neckline, a Bias Facing Neckline, and my favourite method, How to Sew a Neck Facing. Additionally, I’ll show you how to make a Neckline on Knits, a great skill to have so you don’t have to keep stretching to fit your sweatshirt over your head.

You’ll want to save this video to have it ready as a reference whenever you get to the neckline portion of your pattern!
