Whatβs a 3-step zigzag? It's a zigzag with an extra stitch in between. Also known as an elastic stitch. Keeps your zigzag flat. Also keeps edges from raveling -- much faster than other overlock stitches on your machine. Decent substitute for a serger. Want more? Lisa teaches all in Apparel Construction #sewing class. Next one starts July 12 ππΌ

Interested in learning how to sew and make beautiful things? I will, once again, be teaching beginning sewing this summer at Portland Fashion Institute! It is a 3 week, 4 days a week, 3 hours a day summer intensive course. Have fun while learning professional techniques. Let me show you the way! Creativity thrives at PFI!

Use elastic to gather fabric with your sewing machine. Itβs a common pro trick for gathering cuffs and waistlines. Just thread it through the hole in your presser foot then 3-step zigzag. We use clear elastic for invisible gathering and shirring. Pattern tester @ciaraxyerra prefers 1/4β wide regular elastic. Use it on the AltarPDX designer patterns @ pfisewing.com & @shop_altar

Make your own Aurelia dress -- originated by local designer Cassie Ridgway of AltarPDX. Get this designer pattern with 2 views for you to sew @ pfisewing.com or @shop_altar
Cassie describes Aurelia as "Flowy and incredibly soft, this easy fit dress hits around the knee. Keeleigh wears the view with a romantic bishop sleeve. View B has a flared look at the bottom. A center seam near the torso creates a flattering element and a slight high-low hem adds an additional detail." Plus it has side seam pockets!
Pattern instructions have lots of detailed illustrations plus links to video demos.
Keeleigh's dress was made from recycled remnants. Make yourself some happiness today. Video by Adrianna
