Not exactly what your were expecting, right? Well, no I'm not talking about Ham you eat.
Your probably saying what is that a picture of, well keep reading this is good.
A lot of people ask me, How do I get a professional look when I am sewing? or
When I sew why do I have that homemade look? The answer is simple, if you have taken a class with me before, you have heard me say it over and over. Press as you Go! A very important Rule.
BUT, I'd like to elaborate on that. Because if you don't have the right notions you still won't have quite the professional look. A big part of achieving a professional look to your finished project is good pressing.
The Sewing Gadget of this week is the Sewing Ham, or Sleeve Board. I found this excellent tutorial from
http://www.mymeasuringtape.blogspot.com/ It cost about $12.00 in the stores. But you can make it for much less incorporating your own fabric for your own design Tailor Ham. Since I found this tutorial I won't be purchasing one.
Remember:
When sewing, never sew over an un-pressed seam. Always press the seam open as you go. This will make sewing easier and will improve the quality & hang of your finished garment. Giving you a professional finished garment or project.
Happy Sewing!
This is a little late THURSDAY TIP
