Sew Your Favorites-Tips on handy pieces you love
Find something you like just keep that piece and use it with everything... I make the long dresses by the method described with double folds 1. At this point you just cut out your dress so you will have a front and back piece exactly the same. So you then cut a neckline a little lower so it is going to be the front. I have a separate Cowl neck piece I use on everything. I have a pocket piece I use on everything. This shape pocket can go in any side seam, or make no side seam quick pants and make this piece sewn together and flip and top stitch on top of pants lining up with side seam and leave opening for hand. Still a great pocket I have a bigger pocket piece I use on coats. I have a burlap like piece of fabric on my wall to hang the pieces I use over and over..... collars, pockets, sleeves, cuffs I have a sleeve I use on everything ...unless I am doing my favorite cut out one back piece squared...cut in have and becomes two rectangles for front pieces...take two more rectangles
