There the seam is topstitched on each side. My method is similar and I might topstitch the rounded seams on the sleeves too. The bias lining stripe is flexible enough and if I reduce the SAs width, I think it will work just fine.Tanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073735708031525696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707374644461378032.post-55190248716353621332007-04-09T22:47:00.000+01:002007-04-09T22:47:00.000+01:00I'm late to the party, but yes, I really like the ...I'm late to the party, but yes, I really like the last seam - the new idea you had!

These seams keep their "flatness" more than regular hong-kong seams because the bias lining tape forces them down and flat nicely. I can wash my little swatch and then press it open again just to show you this. Of course you have to use bias stripes - they stretch - to make this. Besides the ends of the seam will be forced open (caught in the collar stitching or by a perpendicular seam). If you are worried about an impression when pressing you can use brown paper stripes to prevent this from happening. I guess I could tackle them by hand to the underlining if I had to. I will make this experiment: wash the swatch and see how it behaves and I will post the result as soon as possible :).Tanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073735708031525696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707374644461378032.post-18364748271286188022007-04-09T20:22:00.000+01:002007-04-09T20:22:00.000+01:00Tany,I was thinking about the pressing too, are yo...Tany,<BR/>I was thinking about the pressing too, are you going to tack them somewhere, they won't stay flat while washing, how are you going to press them open?, am I missing something here?, tell me, I am a bit tired so bear with me:-).<BR/><BR/> I used almost the same method on DD's D&G linen/guipure dress, had to cover the sa's in skincolored lining fabric, but I tacked them to the guipure to keep it all as flat as possible after washing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707374644461378032.post-38431466909801206552007-04-09T15:11:00.000+01:002007-04-09T15:11:00.000+01:00I really like the look of this.

I didn't understand what you meant when you mentioned this before...I thought you were talking about a traditional Hong Kong type finish. <BR/><BR/>I love to sit in front of the TV with hand sewing so I would probably tack all these down. Although it seems that this method would tend to keep the sa's open, which is a definite advantage over the Hong Kong finish.<BR/><BR/>You've invented a sewing technique...name....hmmm.....<BR/><BR/>bias banded?<BR/>double bias felled?<BR/>bias strapped seam?<BR/>bias flat strapped seam?<BR/><BR/>I'm going in the shower...sometimes things come to me in there.

I could wash this garment in the machine (I pre-washed the fabric and it washes perfectly) but the lining creases are more difficult to press after washing so I'll just dry clean it in the future.Tanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073735708031525696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707374644461378032.post-85658973012954055692007-04-09T11:46:00.000+01:002007-04-09T11:46:00.000+01:00Tany, have you thought what would happen to the se...Tany, <BR/>have you thought what would happen to the seam after you have washed the garment?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707374644461378032.post-24299398319795769872007-04-09T11:35:00.000+01:002007-04-09T11:35:00.000+01:00Thanks to all!
