We still have some interesting sewing tricks for us that sew. It turns out that sewing the hook neatly is not at all difficult. You just need to take the correct thread.
But in this way, you can easily lay folds. And I somehow suffered with the insertion into the blouse, steamed it several times and stitched it again in places so that there were even folds.
The folds were laid even, now, so that they do not run away, we creak them with masking tape, and we will stitch (if necessary, stitch) along the transverse gaps, between the strips of tapes. How easy it is!
Here's a very helpful tip. Those fabrics that are difficult to sew and thick seams are much easier to sew through a piece of the bag, the needle glides better than on tracing paper. Only the package needs a transparent one.
But delicate fabrics, on which the foot does not slide, are easier to sew by gluing pieces of tape on the foot. The painting tool, again, is removed without a trace.
A simple way to always keep your thread scissors close at hand. We glue a plastic hook in a convenient place on a typewriter (such hooks are already sold with a sticky layer)
Glue a couple of magnets to the back of the saucer to keep the pins from falling apart.
Interesting pocket
Correct pocket: exact location (1 ″ = 2, 54 cm), the rest is easy to calculate
How to sew on Velcro
- When we cut, we try to do it without touching the hooks and loops that make up the Velcro. Cut exactly to size
- Now we can combine hooks and loops in several places - for stability
- Set thread tension for medium to heavy weight fabrics.
- Make sure the needle in the machine is sharp and heavy duty and lubricate it with grease.
- If there is, we will replace the foot with a special one. If there is no such foot, direct the needle to the left or to the right - depending on the side that we are sewing and stitching exactly along the edge.
- You can use beeswax to lubricate the needle.
- Never use Velcro, which has an adhesive side, it will only hinder sewing and smear the needle.

Pockets
Fasten with pins (away from the place where the line will be laid). The pocket, mind you, is already ready: hemmed and processed.
How to securely fasten the corners of the pockets
Sometimes it is easier to fit a skirt to a figure without darts. Sew a drawstring belt to the back panel of the skirt and insert a wide elastic band
A handy idea for scissors that rub your fingers.
Thank you all for your attention and enjoy your sewing!
