Mick MacAnselan Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 What type of hem/stitch did you use to make the 'long sides' look nice? TIA! The Dread Pyrate MacAnselan aka Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 On one I used a rolled hem stitch. On the other I just folded it over twice and straight stitched it. My sashes are fairly wide, so I fold them over once or twice, it makes a nice pocket and hides those edges. The Duchess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do similar, but usually just fold the rough edge of the material over once or twice and do a flat stich. Rumba Rue ** ** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_MacNamara Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I took a yard and a half of nice fabric, cut it in half lengthways, sewed the two lengths together, then hemmed the edges, folded it in half lengthways, sewed it together, then top-stitched the folded edge. it is just a touch short for a sash, but it will last forever!

Duchess Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 You could also take a length of fabric twice as wide as you want the sash. The double it over "right sides together" and basically flat stitch a long bag and turn it right side out to finish. The Duchess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Grey Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 When I make Jedi sashes I like to use a long piece that I can fold in half; only three sides to sew that way. Yes, I'm lazy. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Swift Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I didn't hem the edges at all. In fact, I left them raw and washed them over and over till they frayed. I did trim out the ends with beadwork though. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I use a heming foot with a 1/8th inch opening, and then run it along a 60 inch piece of fabric cut to size, etc wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katerine_La_Rose_Noire Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I did as Duchess suggested....though I finished the 1 I made with drapery fringe on the ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaelyn Remick Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I put the rough edges togther, fold them over once and sew a double stright stitch. After that I just turn them inside out and that takes care of seeing rough edges. For the ends I fould them under and pin whatever fringe, then just hand stitch it in place. To put one togther I think it takes me all of 45 minutes (counting cutting and hand sewing) but mine are only about 5" wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
