I'm working on a similar detail on a shirt I'm sewing (mine is with side seam pockets) and it seems to me I can only serge those seams, since it won't work to do a french or flat fell there.It I was to guess I'd say you serged it, but just wanted to check....Heather Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273803885711033973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579381835650147304.post-75882382386178098622015-02-27T21:23:34.422-05:002015-02-27T21:23:34.422-05:00WOW !!!

And I love the look of the hem you've made here but there is another easy method for hemming curved shirt tails using bias binding (this is the one I use all the time): For this, regular, story bought bias tape works very well. You fold it open on side, match the edge of that side to the bottom of the shirt (right sides facing) and stitch on the fold line. Then, you press the bias tape to the inside of the shirt and topstitch its top edge in place. I've shown it here on my blog: http://petitmainsauvage.blogspot.nl/2014/04/shirt-details.htmlLaurianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602295642057814667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579381835650147304.post-81772461819258575882015-02-23T08:32:06.735-05:002015-02-23T08:32:06.735-05:00Beautiful shirt.

I also notice that neither of you trimmed back your seam allowances inside the yoke, which I have always done without thinking twice. Next time I make a shirt out of fine fabric like lawn I will follow your example, I reckon it is good stabiliser.

Fabulous work! I really would like to see more of this burrito method, if I may at some point please? I am intrigued.<br />Also, can I suggest in terms of sewing curved hems, that you turn over the first 1/4 inch, sewing close to the fold, then trim the excess off it before turning over again? It is so much easier to get a nice finish. But the bias edge is so nice a way to complete it, I may have to borrow it too, I am working ona doozy of a shirt, yet to be blogged about, and I must get on and do so!MrsC (Maryanne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440723067459232998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579381835650147304.post-39603831761931870542015-02-22T11:34:34.367-05:002015-02-22T11:34:34.367-05:00Wow!
