♥ Sewing with Sheer Fabrics: Tips & Tricks

Delicate fabrics are challenging to sew.

But knowing proper techniques will make working with them a delight. 

There’s nothing like a lighter-than-air dress. It’s like floating on a summer breeze. The antique dresses that make us Ooh and Ahh are those made of sheer textiles.

Whether you’re dreaming of a Civil War sheer dress or Bustle picnic gown, clothing made from sheer fabrics inspire us.

But like all good things, sewing with sheers can be a challenge. You search high & low for those techniques that will make your project go smoothly.

This handbook will be that guide BEFORE the breakdown happens.

You’ll learn how to pre-treat your fabric including ironing & pressing and the proper way to cut your dress pieces from thin materials. You’ll also discover tricks for easier sewing with sheers, types of hems for 19th C. garments and working with your machine for smooth stitches.

Learn sheer fabric options for use in summer dresses, late Victorian shirtwaists, undersleeves, chemisettes and the wildly popular Edwardian & Titanic draped gowns.
