Sheer fabrics (gauze,
georgette, chiffon), require special sewing methods so the inside looks as good
as the outside. You also want to end up with a flexible seam, that molds over
the bias, grain, and cross grain. One type of popular and much-used seam for
these fabrics is a French seam, that works very well on straight seams, but is
imposible to use on corners, curved seams, etc., and that also has the “defect”
of the accumulation of layers of fabric that can be rigid. Personally, I
discovered this type of seaming in the Haute Couture sewing of masters, and I would like to call attention to the
ease and simplicity of these methods. Using this method, we can apply sleeves
(armscyes), install zippers, and sew corners whitout any difficulty, and we
gain the lightness and flexibility as well. Here is my tutorial, and I hope
that you like it and it helps you with possibilities.
