I recently found this helpful video tutorial on understitching by Evelyn Wood on YouTube, and it really cleared up an area of my sewing that had been giving me a lot of trouble. When you make a neckline that has a yoke, your finished product can pucker and it is hard to get the interior seam to lay down correctly. With this clever method, you just sew along the yoke lining and you sew the edges of you join seam into that understitch. The outcome is very professional and Evelyn really explains this technique very well. This is a video that everyone who likes making clothing should watch because it will help all your future projects immensely.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
