Hi there, I really need some help.
When sewing my usual human-sized fare I've never had this problem so I'm a little confused as to what I'm doing wrong.
When sewing tiny doll sized things I'm finding that my hems are twisting and rolling. It only does it when sewing a curved item, like the hem of a skirt or the bottom edge of a cape.
What am I doing wrong? Are my seam allowances too big for the curve or size of the garment? Should I cut little notches in the fabric like I do on my armholes so it rolls better?
/sigh. I don't know why I can make a 1776 coat for myself and have no problems but I can't sew a simple a-line skirt for a doll. It isn't new information, you guys know I've mentioned it before. Is it the size or am I just missing crucial information about patterns and methods when sewing for dolls? Fabric hasn't magically changed overnight, nor have the basics of sewing but I can NOT seem to wrap my brain around sewing tiny things. This is a skill deficit I'd definitely like to overcome.
Thanks to everyone for your wisdom and advice. I really appreciate you. <3
