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.
Video Resources
A Way We Sew's instructional videos are a great resource to go alongside your sewing kits or supplement your prior knowledge with new techniques.
Ever wanted to make a classic button-down collar shirt with all the fixings? We have a video for each part of the shirt (and more coming every month). Even, knife-sharp collar tips, a collar band that is even with the front placket, with neat topstitching, inside and out.
Not your grandmother's invisible zipper - we show you how to insert an invisible zipper with a facing, or a lining. You'll finally understand how to get all those layers looking tidy at the top, no hand stitching needed.
Make a sturdy, bulk-free seamless pocket with no slashing- and why not have that pocket bag be a French seam, and let's also pop it in a side seam, with a lining! Yes, you can do all this, and have a bulk-free side seam with an invisible pocket.
Go ahead and make that shift dress, lined, with a lapped zipper up the back. You can make it in six seams! Seem impossible? Watch and we'll show you how!
