Never give up!! If you become stuck on something, put it down for a day or two, then try again. I teach sewing and everyone wants to jump on a machine before they’ve learned anything. I can tell who really wants to learn after I give them their first homework. After explaining tools, patterns and basics of setting up the machine, I let the student sew a square and keep going all the way to the center. Like a “maze”. I also let them do a circle in a spiral. The homework is to pick it all out without destroying the fabric. Nobody has come back after this.

Keep sewing. Ask questions to experienced seamstresses. We’ll help you!!!

If you have any questions that aren’t already on the internet, ask me.

THANK YOU! I can’t tell you how incredibly helpful this post was! I have been mumbling “Ohhhhh yeah okay everything makes sense now,” at least 4 times through this article.

Thank you for combining clear, descriptive, but succinct descriptions with well-lit and clean photos! So thankful I found this post.

In reply to Tessa.

Hi Tessa
That sounds complicated. I have never done it but I suppose you will be marking the slit, make a clip ( a cut on the seam allowance till the stitching line) at the seam allowance and do the french seams till the clip and then finish the slit as a regular turn under twice seam – hope I make sense

Regarding slits – on long tunics the idea of a slit is to aid in ease of movement – so they start just above ( 2 inch or less ) the widest part of your hips

Thanks for such a useful and informative post, Sarina! Do you know if it’s possible to add a slit to a french seam? Also, do you have any advice as to how to determine slit length?

Thanks again!
