Next up in the Tips + Tricks series is the easy roll hem. I usually get at least one request for a tutorial every time I post a photo of a rolled hem so I thought I should get on this one. I learned this technique from one of our seamstresses at work, Jurata, when she couldn’t believe that I didn’t learn how to do the regular roll hem technique in school. This is the slightly cheater method that she taught me in order to get me used to making them for the non-cheater technique she later showed me. I’ll do another Tips + Tricks for the regular roll hem later, don’t worry. STEP 1. Take the fabric you are roll hemming and stitch around the hem 1/8” shy of the seam allowance. If you have a 1/2” seam allowance you are going to stitch at 3/8”, if you have a 5/8” seam allowance you are going to stitch at 1/2”. STEP 2. Head over to your iron and press the seam allowance up along the stitching line, making sure that the line of stitching rolls to the top with the seam allowance. This will ensure that the line of stitching won’t show on the underside of your garments. Let me also explain why we have stitched and pressed along that stitching line rather than just measuring up 3/8” and pressing. Generally speaking you are going to get a much more even seam allowance with this stitched line than pressing the seam allowance up with a ruler and it will also be at least twice as fast. The other advantage is that if you are doing curves, the fabric will naturally want to turn up along the stitching line creating a smooth curve whereas without it you will generally have small points where the fabric wanted to press straight because of the grain and excess fabric. Also after you get the hang of it you can eliminate this step and just roll the fabric over at your machine while you sew. STEP 3. Stitch the turned edge down getting as close to the edge of the hem as possible. Here I am stitching it at 1/16” which also happens to be right on top of the stitching you turned under. STEP 4. Trim the excess seam allowance off as close to the stitching as you can. I like to cut across the back of my hand while I am holding the piece. Unfortunately I couldn’t do that while taking a photo, not enough arms. STEP 5. Head back over to the ironing board, fold the seam allowance over and press. Again you can eliminate this step when you are feeling more comfortable and just turn while stitching. STEP 6. Again stitch the turned edge down stitching along the center of the folded edge. Usually you can just follow along the stitching line that already exists and should be about 1/16” from the edge. And that’s it, you’re done! Now you’ve got a super awesome roll hem and it’s really very easy despite my over explaining in so many steps. Hope this comes in handy, and once you’re a pro at this you’ll be ready for the next step, regular roll hems. As usual if you have any questions let me know!

I'm skipping ahead and posting again today because I want to share with you what I think is the GREATEST art project ever. WOW, that is a big, bold statement isn't it??? Well, you be the judge! Our letter last week was "M" so this just seemed perfect. We are reaching for the moon and the stars. YES, with the exception of cutting out the moon and the children's bodies), these were all done completely by the students themselves! I saw a similar art project on a children's museum website last year. I'm sorry that I don't have the original art piece (it was done by an adult artist) but if you do, please let me know and I will give them credit. NOTE: A big thank you to Katy Mitchell! She lead me to the original picture I saw. Here it is Artsonia. THANK YOU so much Katy!!! This project was really very simple but the children were all so proud of themselves. I loved watching each child finish their art and look at it. They were so happy. I hope you will try something like this with your class and if you do, please send me a picture, I would love to see it! Thanks for dropping by!

This is our most often asked question in one form or another. Let me help everyone understand so when you purchase Lutterloh you will get the correct tools for making all your families clothes. 1. The traditional system has a tape with a white or cream plastic end. This can be different depending upon the generation the tape comes from They all work just fine however check our links on how to place your mark with the different generation tapes. The traditional system pattern books have a mix of patterns, something for everyone in the family. There will be a few knit patterns, and a few patterns for larger women. Each has a symbol to show you what the pattern was designed for. Check our link for the symbols chart. #3 on the side bar. Also see "The Lutterloh System Symbols page-An evolution" 2. Supplements. We love the supplements! From all ages. I have some from the 50's and 60's that take my breath away. They are still being made and you can purchase them on the web sites on our side bar, depending on which country you are in. Your pattern books contain supplements. Check our side bar for an article on this. There is an older supplement for mature women that uses the traditional Measuring tape. These styles are timeless. I just checked one of the Lutterloh web sites and there is a new Fuller Figure supplement and the classic suppliments are nice on most everyone also. If you are sewing for larger folks This supplement and the traditional system is for you! The X large XX large tape is the blue on the left 3. The X-large XX large system. It comes with a tape that is blue. It does not work on the traditional system You must use this tape with the x-xx-large system. We find that most all women can use the traditional system by choosing styles that look nice on larger bodies. The X-large XX Large system has very large clothing and would only be needed if you find you are sewing for someone who won't fit anything from the supplements. There you have it! Every pattern system will require you to make adjustments for your figure. You can read some of our postings to help you along. If you work at making a good fitting vest it will help you know what must be adjusted in all the Lutterloh patterns.
