  • Hong Kong Finish with Blind Hem Stitch By: Burdastyle
    Hong Kong Finish with Blind Hem Stitch By: BurdaStyle http://www.burdastyle.com/techniques/hong-kong-finish-with-blind-hem-stitch This finish uses the same technique as the Hong Kong binding seam finish, but applied to a hem and utilizing a blind handstitch. Enclosing the raw edge inside a strip of bias, this technique is labor intensive and luxurious, and is used in better-quality garments. This method is especially suitable for heavy fabrics and for summer garments that you wouldnât want to line. Step 1 Mark a 2â hemline, turn up, and press. 1HongStep 2 To make the bias strips, fold your fabric so the selvages lie at a right angle; the fold will be at exactly 45 degrees. Check out our Sewpedia definition for help, Bias/diagonal cut (cutting on the cross) and also, Make French Bias Binding. Use a lightweight material that matches the garment. Measure 1â wide bias strips along the fold with a ruler and marking tool. (You can also use single or double fold bias tape and press it open). Step 3 Cut out the strips and square the ends to the length of the seam you are finishing. If you need to make your strips longer you will have to attach the strips, by placing one over the other at a right angle, sewing right sides together. 2Step 4 With right sides together, pin the bias to the hem. Step 5 Now, stitch the bias to the hem with a ¼â seam allowance. 3Step 6 This is what it will look like after stitching.

  • Homemade Cloth Face Masks Assembly Guide and Patterns
    Homemade Cloth Face Masks Assembly Guide and Patterns Fabric This mask has two layers—the inner layer touching the face and the outer layer. The two layers can be made of the same fabric or different fabrics. Use 100% cotton or a cotton blend for the best filtration and breathability. It takes two pieces of fabric about 14.5 in. x 7.5 in. (36 cm. x 18 cm.) to make one adult mask (see Figure 1). There are three sizes: Large, Medium, and Small. Patterns are available at the end of these instructions. Ear Loop Material Each mask needs two strips for ear loops. Ear loop material should be less than ½ inch (1.25 cm) wide. Some options are elastic, elastic cord, string, ribbon, bias tape, or even shoelaces. If using elastic, each piece should be 12 inches (35.5 cm.) long. For other materials each piece should be 15 inches (38 cm) long (see Figure 2). Sewing Equipment • Sewing machine • Scissors or rotary cutter • Thread • Straight pins • Safety pins Work Area Before you start sewing, ensure you are symptom free. Wash and sanitize your hands and your work area thoroughly with a disinfectant (it must indicate that it kills viruses) per the instructions on the label. Ensure there are no potential contaminants (e.g., pet hair, food, etc.) in the work area. For more information, visit chlb.me Step 1 Cut out the two main mask pieces. • Fold the fabric in half. On the folded edge of the fabric, place the pattern edge marked “place on fold” (see Figure 4).
