sewing101: add a seam to any pattern piece

First get your pattern piece and draw a line where you want the new seam to go. I marked the line with an arrow. As you can see, I had a little fine motor skills helper decorate my pattern.
Then cut down the line. Add 1/2" of pattern paper to each side of the new seam for new seam allowance. Tape it on.
 That is all you have to do to add a new seam! 
Pin It!

  2. I love your blog! Its educational & fun. As a beginner sewer I find I reference your blog frequently. I know your busy but it'd be so great if you started a weekly challenge for beginners on simple sewing techniques and then had a link up each week or month so we could all share even if they dont turn out! Just a crazy thought. Thanks again for writing this blog!!
    Best,
    Lauren
