Sewing terms - What is a seam?
This is the very first of a series where I teach you all the sewing terminology you need to know, to learn to speak dressmaker!

You think some are obvious, but to a very beginner sewer, you need to know these things!

This video is brought to you by VINTAGE SEWING SCHOOL

Hi! I'm Evelyn Wood, and I am a vintage fashion designer, dressmaker and sewing instructor.

I have been making clothes all my life!

My love is vintage fashion!

I help 'dressmakers in the making' ( ie new sewers) to learn how to sew and make their own clothes!

So if you're into sewing and vintage/retro style, this might just be THE place for you!

I love these mini sewing lessons. Could you do a video about different foots and how to use them?

[ranalittlebitlate]

Love love this series just beginning to sew

[samanthamata]

This is amazing! Evelyn, you explain things so well. Every day it seems I go down a rabbit hole of your tutorials, before I know it I've spent and hour or so watching. Thank you for this, as a beginner I greatly appreciate it.

[galiawebb]

Absolutely brilliant. I'm doing a sewing course right now and this fills all the gaps. Thank you!

[Dev-qzzh]

Love your teaching style.  Relatable and you explain everything so well.  I'm looking for help with adjusting patterns for small waist and larger hips.  Will this be in your school or perhaps another video?  Thanks Evelyn.  So happy to see you!  Hugs

[gretchenfrost]

Super refresher! been a long time since home economics for this grandma.her! It’s b

[neoyum]

Fab video, thank you. ❤️ ... I would be so grateful if you could do a video on French seams?!... How to do them, when they can be used, when they can’t be used, benefits, pitfalls, suitable fabrics, etc... I love the idea of a neater seam, but I’ve never used them!... Also, when is it ok to use a seam that only has a pinking shears edge - no zig-zagging or overlocking... Maybe all this info is in your sewing school?... I don't have time to do that just yet, but intend to do it down the track. 🙂

[atlroxmysox]

Oh thank god these videos are here!! I'm desperately trying to learn how to sew to make my own face masks but I'm so confused by all the tutorials I'm seeing. Like I feel like I have only half the information when reading them

[leahtartuffo]

I am loving your videos Evelyn!. I am a beginner and my pattern says to layer seam. I was wondering if you could clarify this?. I have tried to google and YouTube it but nothing is really clear about what this means and I don’t want to make a mistake on the dress I’m making. Thanks in advance :)

[sarablack]

Could you show us how to use the diffrent feet?

[michelleeveille]

Thank-you again for this new video ! The grey dress you show to explain the difference between a seam and a hem is fabulous ! (as much the colour as the style and the quality of the fabric !) It is surely very pleasant to wear. Is the fabric a crêpe ?

[Sandra-yxyp]

Where's the free 5 day sewing course. You learn to make a 20s bag. I cant find it, Thx

[paulaallen]

What type of fabric require bigger seams

[poppycopper]

I wonder if you could help me, I’m making a kimono, cardigan sort, I made a muslin and found it’s tight across the back when I put my arms forward. To make it bigger do I add inches at centre back or back princess seam or under arm? Hugs xx
