Not to brag or anything, but to me, sewing a set-in sleeve is not much more difficult than sewing a sleeve flat.

The first step […]

In this sewing tutorial I will show you how to cut fabric on the bias. We need to do it when we decide to make bias cut tops and dresses, when we sew spaghetti straps, piping, or when we make binding for a quilt, etc. In this particular case, I am making a bias cut slip dress. If you want a bias cut garment to hang nicely on your body, accuracy of cutting is of paramount importance. Don’t rush when cutting fabric on the bias. If you go even slightly off the true bias when cutting your fabric, you will have problems with how the garment will fit.

One of the best pieces of advice I have learned is: Measure Twice, Cut Once. I believe and follow that guideline for most of the sewing and other DIY's I create, and it has saved me money and grief. When I can predetermine the finished size of a project, I can calculate how much material I need to buy. Whatever project I plan, I usually buy just a little extra of any materials or ingredients only in case. Before heading out to your favorite fabric store, prepare yourself with some knowledge to spend less, and have more time to sew. With this sewing guide, How Much Fabric Do I Need?, read through my tips for sewing success! On this page, I will go over what you need to know when preparing a new sewing project, explain measurements, and provide downloadable fabric yardage charts to help, including how much fabric you may need for shirts, pants, shorts, dresses, skirts, and more for adults and children. Also, how much fabric do you need for home decor and accessories? Find charts explaining the amount of material required for cushions, ironing board covers, aprons, and more. There's also information on how to do the math and calculate for yourself to determine the fabric needed for any sewing pattern or project you plan to use and create. P.S.
