Brilliant tutorial. Very useful and beautifully shot (not easy).I’d really love a tutorial on bound button holes for light weight fabrics like viscose or silk; that would be very helpful.
I had a pal in HS who bound all her buttonholes bc her machine didn’t have an attachment. Her garments (especially the linen) were so elegant). Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks Lucy i used to sew alot of my clothing and that was in my early or mid 20's there is a lot i forgot i will turn 70 in 10 days and i have just started sewing for my self again .
This is excellent. I was taught how to do this many years ago and felt I needed a refresher. You do it exactly the way I was taught, except we didn't draw a box - just a straight line to sew either side. It always looks very neat and is not as difficult as it looks.
Thanks Lucy, I’ve always sewed the entire box when doing any sort of welt task, and it seems to work a little nicer when you leave the ends unseen. Appreciate that little bit of perspective.
Excellent tutorial, thank you. Having always sewn the complete box before when creating a welt, this method looks neater so will definitely use it in future.
Brilliant Lucy! Thanks so much for this tutorial- I was hoping to find out how to make a bound buttonhole before starting a jacket. You’ve inspired me and given me the confidence to try it! ❤️
Lucy this is such a beautiful, professional finish. Please pardon the unknowingness of this question but, how improper would it be to machine stitch around this bound button hole? I ask because I have dexterity issues that force me to rely pretty heavily on machines for sewing. I know it would not be this clean couture finish that you have achieved here; I guess what I’m asking is, would it be a crime against sewing/be an egregious offense to machine stitch instead of slip stitching by hand? Thank you for this tutorial; I always come away from them understanding what you’ve demonstrated and inspired to try it!

Very nice! I can't see me making one, thought... taken me long enough to get regular buttonholes! xxx

Thanks, Lucy, all very clearly demonstrated and explained.
Very interesting. I wasn’t familiar with that buttonhole and haven’t seen it done. A bit finicky but makes a nice finish to the buttonhole. Thank you.

Thank you I tried once and I was a little scared but the finish was so professional. Your tutorial is extremely good
Thank you Lucy! ❤

Thank you!!! Can you also show another for fine or lightweight fabric?
Thank you so much.
Great video
Thank you for demystifying this terrifying process!
Wonderful tutorial. Explained every step clearly. I've subscribed and look forward to viewing more.
Wow, this is just like a teensy weensy double welt pocket! Hmmmmmm. Interesting!
Hi, Lucy. What pattern blouse are you wearing in the intro, please? Thank you so much for the tutorial. X
What is a “thick stitch”? I’ve never heard that term before. Thanks so much.
It's not a 'thick' stitch - it's 'fix' stitch. Yes, I mis-heard it a few times, too.
@@somebodyelse138 well, sadly I don't know what a fix stitch is, either!
@@delta8885 Lock stitch? 3 or 4 stitches in the same place, to save having to back stitch or tie off threads.
Is facings the same as lining?

Folding the strip for sewing - you say right sides together, but you fold it wrong sides together, right sides out.
