However I recommend practising with a scrap of your fabric to check that the same is true for you and your fabric and machine etc.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03205271379351276007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-55645013939930035502014-04-05T10:18:28.188+11:002014-04-05T10:18:28.188+11:00The seam allowance is 5/8".

Or do you figure the turn of cloth adds more so it all evens out in the end?Rainpatterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00311078936448749356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-39248362285881857462013-01-25T15:44:21.391+11:002013-01-25T15:44:21.391+11:00Hi Rachel, I am a bit behind, have only cut out, b...Hi Rachel, I am a bit behind, have only cut out, but hopefully will get a chance to get into it this weekend.

I'll also be discussing some tips for sewing with slippery fabrics when we get to the lining section.<br /><br />Having said that, you can do the lining seams now if you like, but you don't need to.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03205271379351276007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-71202762952143344842013-01-25T05:50:51.609+11:002013-01-25T05:50:51.609+11:00Hi Rachel, silly question - if I'm doing a lin...Hi Rachel, silly question - if I'm doing a lined skirt, should I be sewing the lining side and front seams too?
