Dianne shared her approach to designing one-of-a-kind garments and what she learned along the way. She presented tips for garment construction using minimal cuts to the cloth; additional tidbits and finishing ideas; including a demonstration for stitching that perfect hem; and sewing tips from her current work with “crimp” cloth.
Dianne discusses her hemming technique.
