Ohhhh I misunderstood, duh, you mean the skirt is designed to have a split, you're not fixing a tear!!!

In that case, what I said about the bottom of dress trousers still holds ]]> Sun, 07 Dec 2008 10:35:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22958&PID=560826&title=any-sewing-geniuss#560826 <![CDATA[Any Sewing Genius’s? : Thanks ladies.

Thanks ladies. I'm making a skirt from scratch and it requires a reinforced seam for the split...will check out that link weegee. ]]> Sun, 07 Dec 2008 09:31:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22958&PID=560789&title=any-sewing-geniuss#560789 <![CDATA[Any Sewing Genius’s? : Haven&#039;t seen Nikki around...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22958&PID=560496&title=any-sewing-geniuss#560496 Author: weegee

Haven't seen Nikki around in a while... she's busy moving house I think (from blog stalking her!).

Is the split in the fabric itself or on a seam? If it's in the middle of a panel then your best bet is some iron-on interfacing on the wrong side of the fabric. If it's on a seam, there are some great instructional videos linked to here (check out the second page for ripped or torn hems).

"Invisible seams" mean different things depending on the context, but in your case probably means a form of hand sewing where you only pick up a couple of threads of the material at a time (working from the wrong side) so you can't see the stitches from the right side - take a look at the bottom of some dress pants for an example.

Seam binding, or bias binding, is a fabric tape which you fold over the seam allowance to finish or reinforce a seam, you can get it from spotlight or any fabric or notions shop.

Hope that made sense!]]> Sat, 06 Dec 2008 12:22:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22958&PID=560496&title=any-sewing-geniuss#560496 <![CDATA[Any Sewing Genius’s? : In these situations, I get in...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22958&PID=560446&title=any-sewing-geniuss#560446 Author: Danaj

In these situations, I get in my car and drive to the seamstress lol. I just used masking tape to fix a loose hem so no help here i'm afraid!]]> Sat, 06 Dec 2008 10:39:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22958&PID=560446&title=any-sewing-geniuss#560446 <![CDATA[Any Sewing Genius’s? : I know Nikki is a sewing person,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22958&PID=560069&title=any-sewing-geniuss#560069 Author: mummy_becks

I know Nikki is a sewing person, hopefully she will see this and help you.

How do you reinforce a split in a skirt?? I'm reading the instructions and getting awfully confused. How do you do an invisible seam and what is seam binding??

TIA]]> Fri, 05 Dec 2008 16:14:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22958&PID=560045&title=any-sewing-geniuss#560045
