Outcomes
- This is Module 2 of my beginner fashion and sewing course for sustainable fashion enthusiasts. In this module we are taking a deep dive into seam and hem construction. This includes a variety of plain seams and how to finish them as well as a few sturdier and more fancy seam variations..
- We will be also looking at hem finishes. This is a module packed with information and practical tips and creating samples is very much encouraged. To help you with this - you can download a printable template for sample making although you can use rectangular pieces of fabric instead. You can also download my evaluation sheets for seam and hem sample making and reflection, so you can build on the skills you have learnt so far..
