TOOLS
Freezer Paper
The best pattern paper. Iron on a wool setting and it sticks to fabric. Reusable, durable, and transparent enough for tracing.
Tracing Wheel
Spokes aren't too sharp and it works well to trace a temporary line on fabric or paper.
Wavy Rotary Blade
Use in place of pinking shears, quickly trim outside edges of circles.

About the Event
A Way We Sew focuses on fun, functional methods to improve your sewing. In this presentation we'll demonstrate A Way We Sew a "seamless" side seam pocket, in a lined skirt or pant, with a sturdy, bulk-free French seamed pocket bag. Watch a short video showing this beautiful pocket bag here.
Benefits to our method include:
- No slashing. That means your pocket will be sturdy enough to hold your phone, your keys, or your hand.
- Durable, double stitched French seam pocket bag. No more pocket blow-out!
- Make the pocket bag ahead of time. Can you say: scrap busting?
- Side seams are open. That means you can fit sides seams first, then insert pocket when you're ready, on your terms!
What you'll learn. Our methods are a little different. We like to "sew rogue", cut corners, sew backwards, and have fun while learning new techniques you can apply to any sewing project.Â
In this presentation, you'll learn A Way We:
- Sew first, cut later for faster, simpler sewing.
- Sew curves using the wheel/hub approach.
- Cut corners for smoother, rounder, sturdier curves.
- Use one seam to accurately sew the next - no more guessing and no more surprises!
