It's one of those techniques where at first you might think it won't work and then it does! Gotta love that about sewing :) Your shirt might be slightly different but this technique will be useful for most shirts with a yoke.

How to sew a curved hem? Well it depends! I've made a few videos explaining different techniques for sewing around curves.

Did you know you can turn a strap without a tool like a safety pin? Well here's how:

It took me a while before I bought my very own sewing machine. When I started the academy I borrowed an oldie from my grandmother, but did most of the sewing in school. After a year or two I bought my first sewing machine. There were a gazillion machines to choose from, it was overwhelming! After weeks of googling, shopping and interrogating other sewists...I finally decided on a Pfaff Classic 1525 and never looked back :)

Sewing corners on hems can be a bit tricky, if you simply fold the seam allowance on top of each other it creates a bulky corner that can be difficult to sew. By sewing a mitered corner you will reduce bulk and get a better end result.

Don't you just hate it when your sewing machine tries to eat the corners of your sewing project? I've sewn a lot of corners on narrow hems and I always had problems sewing the corners until I tried the trick in the video. I use narrow hems on many of my designs like the Pocket-t and the Tie-Dress. 

A pocket with a little surprise!
