Australian Stitches - June 01, 2018

(Joyce) #1

Technically Speaking


Topstitch around the edges of the inserted piece to keep the
seam allowance in place, see photo 8, then re-hem the shirt
using the same method as the original hem i nish.

Overlock the top edge of pocket facing. Fold back the
facing, with right sides together, and stitch at both sides
using the 6mm (¼in) seam allowance. Turn right side out
and press. Fold back the seam allowance of side and lower
edges and press.

Pin the pocket in place, matching the pattern of the fabric if
necessary, and stitch close to the edge. See photo 10.

Happy altering,
