The cardboard hack for narrow hems but using the Pokemon box from my son's Happy Meal 😆

I found with this slippery fabric at least I still had to press the planned seam for it to feed through properly, but this saved some of my sanity. Hoping that gathering hides the less aesthetic bits 🤞🏻

Sewing a narrow hem on 138 inches of taffeta: this is my super bowl 😆.

First time using the ban-rol method and it worked out nicely! I haven't removed it yet in this video but it pulls out cleanly after hemming.

The 1% can keep their $400 basic tees, for me quiet luxury is the way this underlined taffeta feels.

By way of intro for those who don't know me from IG (my account there is sewingweather), here's the short 2024 wrap-up I had posted of my sewing projects. I've already started on two big '25 goals: the formal dress as well as pattern testing. I'm excited to see what everyone is working on this year!

For everyone in marginalized communities who has been left reeling after this past week: you are seen, you are loved, you matter.

Just some thoughts I had while working on my project. Also, I've been using my pattern tracing wheel like a hera marker and it's been so helpful. That is all ☮️💙
