Sewing lessons from Vera Olkhovskaya

Sewing women's clothing is impossible without processing fasteners with a hidden zipper, and repairing clothes is almost always a replacement for zippers.

In this video sewing master class for beginners, I will tell you how to sew a hidden zipper without basting.

For many home couturiers, it is difficult to get used to the sewing terminology, but you should still say SITCH the zipper. SEWING A ZIPPER is incorrect, since only a button can be sewn on.

This little thing will come in handy for both experienced tailors and people who have never held a needle in their hands. It can be used both for repair and for tailoring.

The rubber band puller is much more convenient than the usual safety pin we usually use in such cases.

However, all this is shown in a short video tutorial ...

This sewing video was filmed due to numerous requests from visitors to my site.

Replacing "flat seams" in the "era of stretch" is a very relevant topic for home couturiers.

Sewing clothes for beginner tailors involves not only finding patterns, but also maintaining sewing machines, which become more and more difficult every year.

In this video master class, you will see a detailed setting of a knitted seam, which will allow you to sew any high quality stretch products ...

Possession of modern techniques of cutting and sewing, includes the possession of skills in working with various devices and tools.

In this video master class, we will look at three of the same type of devices for making oblique inlay at home.

With these simple devices, you can easily make the same bias binding as the one sold in stores and is compatible with household binders.

Of course, bias binding can be made from any fabric and any width.

All in all, enjoy watching!

This video master class can be considered a direct continuation of the video about refueling the carpet for stitching.

When setting up stitches on home equipment, try to follow the general rules.

The sequence and rules for setting up a cover stitch machine are very similar to setting up a cover stitch on a coverlock, so this video lesson class will be useful to everyone...

On the stitching (flat) seam, I am asked only two questions: how to fill the carpet for stitching and is it worth buying a carpet.

Among the undoubted advantages of the coverlock is the combination of the functions of the overlocker and the stitcher in one machine, and among the disadvantages is the complexity of operation.

One of the most difficult moments is filling the cover seam. This is not about threading, since all the schemes are drawn in detail and placed directly on the typewriter itself under the cover (see at the end of the article and the guide that should be bypassed). The point is the sequential replacement of spare parts, concomitant refueling.

This video is dedicated to just that. Watch, rate...

Personally, I have met four types of threaders:

automatic,

semiautomatic device,

device built into the machine

и loop device.

You can look at the work of a semiautomatic device and devices on my video...

Some 10 years ago there was a joke: I’ll buy an overlocker, at least I’ll find out what it is. And today it is no longer funny, since almost every woman who is interested in sewing knows about this wonderful sewing machine.

It should be noted that the popularization of overlocks began in the 90s, when Chinese overlocks with a small noisy motor began to be massively imported to the CIS countries. Prior to this, overlocks were only at sewing enterprises. And home couturiers sometimes bought a decommissioned “head” of a class 51 industrial overlock and found a craftsman who could connect the machine to a motor that could work from a home electrical network.

And at all times, happy owners and owners of an overlocker faced the same problem: how to fill it and set it up.

This video shows the easiest way...

These sewing videos were shot based on numerous questions and feedback from visitors to my site and channel viewers.

They discuss accessories for sewing machines, with which you can replace the overlock stitch ...
