Using a hammer to sew denim? Here’s a weird tool to help your seams lay flat. Seamwork 2024-08-28 | 💥 Secret sewing weapon! 🔨 Do you have a hammer in your sewing kit?I was just sewing the #seamworkbrookes skirt, and the denim seams were so bulky, it was hard to press them flat. So, I grabbed a mallet and smacked it flat.🔨 Press your seam or hit it with a bunch of steam 🔨 Hit the seam with a hammer several times🔨 Give it one more press, and look how flat it is!PS: If you’re using metal hardware, it’s best not to use an actual hammer. A softer mallet will do the trick. Also, make sure you’re doing this on a hard surface.Do you have any secret sewing weapons to share?#seamwork #sewingtips #sewingtutorial #sewingtipsandtricks

Sewing Secret! Use a Straw to Turn Spaghetti Straps. Seamwork 2024-07-24 | 🎀 How to turn a spaghetti strap with a straw! 🎀Here’s a really cool tip for turning a spaghetti strap more easily:Use a straw! 1️⃣ Sew your tube of fabric, leaving a very long thread tail at the end. Thread this tail onto a hand sewing needle.2️⃣ Drop the needle into the fabric tube, eye end first. Work the needle to the other side.3️⃣ Then grab a compostable straw or a metal one. Drop the needle into the drinking straw and insert the straw into the tube. 4️⃣ Work the straw almost to the other end. Pull the thread tail, so that the end folds into the center of the straw. Pull gently. The straw will prevent your fabric from bunching up at the end. 🎥 For 3 more ways to easily sew and turn spaghetti straps, check out my video on YouTube.
