1. Cover for storing clothes in the closet.

This is the easiest cover to sew. It is made from coarse calico, or any natural fabric of another fabric (Fig. 1).

There is an alternative to lace-up fittings. For example, you can take any narrow braid and make loops out of it.

They must be fixed on the edge of the product side, which is edged or trimmed.

The processing (hem) of the bottom of the product proposed in this article is suitable for many types of light ladies' clothing.

As you can see in the pictures, this is a machine way to sew a blind stitch.

The need to make a bias trim with your own hands at home has three reasons.

Firstly, the inlay offered by stores is made from very thin, low-quality satin.

It wears out quickly, therefore, it should not be used in the processing of expensive products and in places subject to rapid wear.

Secondly, for processing open sections of products made of thick fabrics or fur, the width of the inlay may not be sufficient.

Thirdly, sometimes you need an inlay from the fabric that the product is sewn on.

How to replace the stitching (flat stitch)

One of the options is the goat stitch (Fig. 10). It can be used when sewing products from elastic fabrics, including for processing the neck and armholes.

The convenience of the “goat” stitch also lies in the fact that it looks the same from the front and from the inside.

In descriptions for models, the words “allowances” and “increases” are often found. "Stocks" go out of our lives along with pure wool fabrics.

A novice couturier should be aware that all drawings are made without seam allowances and these seam allowances should be added when cutting.

On fig. 1, 2 and 3 show the most common 3-thread overlock stitches with simultaneous edge trimming: overcast (fig. 1), knitted (Fig. 2) and hemming with a steering wheel (Fig. 3).

overcast or edge seam - used to process one free (open) cut of the part.
