Next month we will be starting a class- Sewing with Silk in this class we will be learning ALL about Silk and how to clean finish a silk garment. One of the best ways to clean finish a silk chiffon garment is by using French Seams.
Back to the basics!
 |
| 1. Place the wrong sides of the fabric together, with the edges matching. Sew with a straight stitch 1/4" in form the edge. |
 |
| 2. Trim the raw edges to approximately half. |
 |
| 3. Fold the seam the opposite way, so that the right sides are now facing out and the seam is pressed out to the edge. |
 |
| 4. Complete the seam with a final row of stitching 1/4" in from the edge. This will enclose all the raw edges. |
 |
| 5. Press flat with inside toward the back of the garment. Voila! |
