Finish gathers this way (you'll never go back)

“How to finish gathered seams?” I’ve heard (and asked myself) that question so many times, until I made a bunch of prototypes and figured out the best seam finish. In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through the “3:1 method” to finish gathers: it creates a super clean and professional result, and I find it so much nicer than using a serger/overlocker, French seams, or binding. It's perfect to sew ruffles, and also works perfectly with pleats! Just a heads up: it's ideal for straight seams but would be much trickier on curved seams. I’m not sure if anyone else uses this method, I just came up with it through experimentation, so let me know if you’ve seen it before, or if you plan to give it a try! And if there’s any other seam finish or construction method you’d love a better or easier solution for, feel free to share it in the comments: I’d love to cover it in a future tutorial or maybe someone else will have great tips for you as well. ✨🪡🧵Marie from Marikuna Studio My sewing pattern: https://marikunastudio.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marikunastudio/ Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/marikunastudio Join my mailing list: https://marikunastudio.kit.com/subscribe #sewing #sewingtutorial #sewingtips 00:00 How is it different from other finishes? 00:49 Quick overview 01:01 Step-by-step 03:20 Result
