    I just found your channel today Hayley, and I'm totally sold! I love your humor, your real and true life comments. You made a great video, that was fun to watch. I'm OLD, so I've been sewing since before the ice age, but I still love to watch and learn like the rest of the crowd. I'm hoping to learn at least one thing every day until I'm gone. That's called growing. Have a great day, hope you didn't get drenched waiting at the school, and yes, summer is coming. Here, it is already miserable humidity and heat. So keep up the hope! Sadie...

    Just found your channel and this is very helpful! I’m making a square circle skirt out of this fabric and it’s my first ever clothing project. The tutorial I found basically says to cut out a square then cut out a circle in the middle for the waist area. I don’t have an overlocker so how do I keep the circle waistband area from fraying? Also how do you hem the edges of the fabric?

    • @SewHayleyJane
      @SewHayleyJane  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

  • @theblendedfamilyblueprint
    @theblendedfamilyblueprint 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great video, thanks so much! I just bought some gauze in a gorgeous navy and can't wait to start. When you do your seams, do you sew them on your machine and then take it to the serger to lock it and trim off the extra or just sew your seams on the serger? I have one (serger) but I'm just in the learning stages and it makes me nervous! lol

    • @SewHayleyJane
      @SewHayleyJane  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      As double gauze is a woven fabric you need to use a straight stitch on your sewing machine first and then finish the seams with the serger. Serger stitches can stretch which is great for sewing knit fabrics but not for wovens

    Hi, thanks for this! I'm brand new to sewing and want to do a simple dolman sleeve blouse out of white double gauze with LOTs of dimples in it. I've been trying to figure out how to finish the neck line and whether or not I should use fusible interfacing on the shoulders because I think it's going to stretch a ton when I wear it. I'm thinking your ironing tip will help but should I still use the interfacing to be safe and if I use a facing for the neck line, can I make it out of the double gauze or should I use something else?(sorry, that's a lot of questions!)

    • @SewHayleyJane
      @SewHayleyJane  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sounds like a lovely project, I think your instincts are pretty spot on - some interfacing on the shoulders definitely won't hurt and worth doing just in case. As the fabric has dimples on it I would probably suggest using something else for the neckline facing as it can make for quite a bulky seam - something like a viscose or plain double gauze should work ok

    Hi Hayley! I'm just finishing a double gauze easy peasy pair of summer pants. This video will be really helpful to those who haven't used it before. If you iron it completely, however, I find it will flatten out/expand the amount of fabric. So it can make your final garment a bit smaller. I only gently straighten out and iron the selvedge edges, straighten the grain out, then give it plenty of steam (hovering above the fabric), then I cut. Also, have you ever tried just cutting your overlocker thread above the loopers, then tying the new thread to each of the old cut threads, leaving the tiniest of knots, and then pulling on the old threads by your presser foot, to gently guide the new threads through the whole looper system? Of course the needle threads are easy. This is how I do it. I haven't threaded my serger in over a year. Just a suggestion!

I used Simplicity pattern S8841, view A. I'm only 5'3" so I did have to take 4" off the length, and I lined the pockets with the same fabric to strengthen them.I also interfaced the pocket openings with Prym forming tape interfacing. Love this stuff! Telling you all of this, because it's a great pattern and you or your viewers might like it as well.

    • @SewHayleyJane
      @SewHayleyJane  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      No, I wouldn't bother stay stitching the hem at all. Once you have attached the skirt to the waistband it might be useful to let it hang for 24 hours before hemming. This is more often done on a bias cut skirt but can be useful for other types too. Once you have let it hang you can level the hem before stitching

      Not to the point you'd need a lining. A pale colour like this you'd be able to see darker undergarments through it but with skin tone undergarments you wouldn't see them. And if the double gauze is a darker colour it wouldn't be see through

    I appreciate the tips. I hope you will also appreciate a couple of tips, as I decided not to watch the whole thing for these reasons:
    - too much repetition of the same information. It is a time waster.
    - the serger threading share was another time waster and was irrelevant to your main topic and honestly was just annoying for that reason. If we have sergers we already know that changing threads can be a picky job. Well, unless it is a babylock serger with jet air threading like mkne is :)
    -in general, too much filler compared to the main content.

      Oh no!! A couple of different methods might work better - try lowering your thread tension dial to 0. Or you can sew a zig zag stitch over a length of dental floss - then pull on the floss to gather. Another option is to zigzag some clear elastic thread to the inside of the fabric just inside the seam allowance
