How to Encase Seams for Sewing with Simplicity Creative Group

"She explained this very nicely. A Hong Kong seam finish makes an unlined garment look so very professional. I find using silk creates less bulk, but using bias tape or silk makes for a beautifully finished garment."

Profile Information

I am an awesome:: I have been sewing for as long as I can remember. I am married to a wonderful guy who has put up with my sewing habbit for 32 years. We share our home with two miniature daschunds, Maggie and Rosie. Rosie sews with me all the time. She has acquired some cute little doggie capes, costumes and cushy pillows over the years.

My sewing interests are:: garment, home decor, quilting, cross stitch, embroidery

My sewing machine(s):: I have a Pfaff 7570, a Brother Pacesetter and a Babylock Evolve serger.

I am interested in patterns such as:: I don't have a preference. I will try most any pattern company. I have gotten badly written and designed patterns from many companies. Mistakes happen occasionally. So if I see something I want to try, I will always purchase the pattern and give it a whirl. Many of the independent pattern companyies have great unique ideas. I love looking through their lines and trying out their unique directions.
