Garment Sewing: Seam Finishes

July 28, 2022         Thurs      6:30 – 9:00 pm

Applying a seam finish to the raw edges of your fabric will improve the look of your garment and increase its durability and longevity. In this class, we will be sewing samples of various seam finishes, focusing on those that will be most useful across a range of garment styles. You will learn how to choose a seam finish based on garment type and fabric characteristics. This class will also introduce you to some specialty sewing machine presser feet that will make finishing your seams quicker and easier. This class is part of a series for sewists who want to advance their sewing skills by exploring the techniques of garment making in more detail. To complete the class exercises you will need to be comfortable using a sewing machine and have basic sewing skills. A supply fee of $12 is paid to the instructor for the materials needed to sew the class samples. We will be using Sertoma’s sewing machines.
