Add A Border To Any Garment – Free Sewing Tutorial

by 2 Comments

 
 
Here is a free tutorial I just finished for you! You can use it to add a border to just about any garment that has a straight bottom hem. Pants, skirts, tops, dresses etc.
 
Take a look at how cute a straight/flat border looks on different garments:
 
 
My tutorial explains what to do in order to get a pretty border cut just right. Although I won’t provide any measurements (since really all garments vary quite a bit) but I provide an easy math formula on how to calculate your preferred size border.
 
The title photo’s garments are the “Pillowcase Top/Dress” patterns for girls and ladies (coming soon). They make adorably matching “mommy & me” sets 🙂

Review – Organic Cotton Plus Knit Fabric

by Leave a Comment

 
 
 
 
 
I recently got the opportunity to test some knit fabric from Organic Cotton Plus! The amazingly soft interlock knit fabric in plum arrived very quickly with an endearing label from their business.
 
I prewashed and dried it and it came out beautifully!
 
Interlocks are double knits with less stretch but more stability. They look pretty much the same on the back as on the front. They will hold their shape longer but are more firm feeling than jerseys. I simply love the way it feels. It’s perfect for clothing in my opinion:)
 
Let’s see what I made from it:
 
I used my BOHO TUNIC pattern with the long sleeve extension add-on and was able to cut a size 7 long sleeve tunic from the entire of this fabric (60″ wide).
 
 
This material sewed up like a breeze. I added elastic thread around the wrists. I also chose NOT to finish the edges because they won’t unravel (since it’s knit fabric) and they won’t curl up either (since it’s interlock), so I left them as is:

 

With a price of $9.86 per 1-4 yds, this knit fabric is well worth it!
