Pinking Shears

Pinking shears are scissors,that have a sawtooth that fit together and creates a zigzag pattern instead of a straight edge on fabric.

It can be used for decorative cuts.
When a zigzag pattern is created at the edge of a fabric, fraying is prevented. (thread will stop coming out of the fabric)

So when you don't want to hem or bind a seam allowance, but you are worried about fraying, pinking shears come to the rescue. It is also useful when you don't have a Serger for your inner seam.

Get one for yourself if you have not done that already.

Olive oil is rich in saturated fatty acids and vitamin E.

Olive oil can be used as a natural moisturizer as it contains essential fatty acids that maintains the skin’s elasticity and tends to keep it smooth, supple, and glowing

You risk ruining your first impression when you treat your customers like you don't care about them.

I attended an event over the weekend. We sat under a canopy but the canopy was Sandy and sand kept dropping on body of every guest making us uncomfortable.
We called the attention of the manager of the place to it and his reply was there is nothing we can do about it

What was that?

I describe his statement as annoying because he never apologize to the guest.

Well one of the guest spoke up.
Of course there is something you can do. You can ask us to step out for a while so that you can tidy up the place.
He did just that and after about ten minutes the guest settled back to their their seat.
The manager was asked if he has learned anything new today.
Of course he has
Apologize to customers when they feel offended by an act

If you at lost on how to manage the situation, listen patiently to your customers, they can suggest a better way of solving the problem.

Customers complain helps us to do things right and to serve them better

Before the end of event some of the guests are already making plans to use the place for their next event.

Hope you have also learnt something from this little incident.

A typical pattern drafter starts with a sketch, drawing, or photographic image of a particular article of clothing. From there, the drafter measures a form or an individual person to facilitate breaking the garment into sections.

Trained pattern makers create an initial template, known as a block or slope, by first drawing straight lines relevant to specific body measurements and then shaping the template using curved lines and further measurements.

Pattern drafting can be done by hand or by using computer computer.

Bias Binding

Bias binding is a strip of fabric cut on bias used to bind or cover edges. It is also called bias tape,

Because it is cut on bias it makes the fabric stretchier as well as more fluid and more drapeable compared to a strip that is cut on the grain
Being stretchy allows the fabric to be used to give a neat edge around curves.
If you have used fabric cut on the grain to pipe a neck line or armhole you will discover that the piping does not run smoothly rather you will see some places will be squeezing no matter how much you try or the number of times you have to loose and re-sew .
You can prevent this from happening by cutting your binding fabric on bias.

Sewing bias binding onto the edges of fabric is a way to cover the raw edges and add interest to a garment, blanket, or other item. You can sew bias binding with a single fold so that all of the binding appears on one side of the fabric’s edge, or you can sew bias binding so that half of the bias binding appears on each side of the fabric’s edge.
