Pockets, loops, slits

Members of my groups and visitors to the site often ask how good this or that sewing machine is, while naming the cheapest models of famous brands.

Of course, every buyer wants to save money, and the sewing woman wants to save twice.

But you need to understand that in the manufacture of inexpensive machines they save on everything.

One of the "stripped down functions" is the sewing of loops. Do you think you won't need eyelet loops? Or loops for stretch?..

Laying out loops on stretch fabrics until today was not an easy task, therefore, home couturiers avoided them in every possible way or chose other types of loops.

Today there is no need to "reinvent the wheel" on each model. We are watching a video tutorial on how to sew machine loops for strech products.

You can read the use of overlock stitches in sewing products from stretch in the article "Machine stitches"

In view of the fact that all kinds of sewing machine accessories are of great interest to visitors to my site and groups on social networks, I continue this series of video tutorials.

In the proposed video, you will get acquainted with another convenient and simple foot, with the help of which sewing on buttons turns ... into a pleasure.

I confess that until I tried it, I thought that I did not need this foot. But now she has changed her mind.

See for yourself!

After watching this video, a master class sewing classic trousers will become real even without attending cutting and sewing courses.

This video tutorial shows the processing of a "barrel cut" pocket with a straight pocket entry line, as in classic men's trousers.

And don't be fooled by frivolous polka dots and decorative stitching.

Video master classes for beginner couturiers on the topic of "loop" can be shot endlessly.

I will not even dare to count all the ways of processing them, invented by man.

And hand loops for outerwear, at the time of the return of the popularity of handmade, every self-respecting sewing master should be able to sew.

Although, in order to achieve the beauty and "purity" of the notch, you have to work hard. Of course, after watching this video tutorial ...

This is probably the easiest and most convenient pocket that you can think of for men's or women's sweatpants, so I once again return to the topic of "barrel cutting" at home.

The proposed technology for sewing sports trousers is "sharpened" to create a heavy-duty and indestructible product, so that men will definitely appreciate your needlework.

In this pocket, I allowed myself to finish the so-called “dovyaz” - knitted fabric “in elastic”, which we so love to use on cuffs and collars in sportswear.

As you can see in photo 1, on my pattern, the front and back halves of the trousers (PP and ZP) are combined along the side seam line. This not only makes it easier for beginner home fashion designers, but also improves the fit of the sweatpants on the figure...

Consider the sequence of sewing such a pocket using the example of a pattern for a women's sweatshirt with reliefs and a raglan sleeve:
