Master Sewing And Design Certification/Couture Hooks

Of the 7 modules in the Master Sewing and Design Certification program, Garment Construction is probably the most labor intensive. In this module, you must demonstrate in Section One;
1. Various Types of Seams
2. Seam Finishes
3. Hand Stitches
4. Machine Hems
5. Proper Interfacing Choices
6. Closures

In Section Two you are required to construct 4 garments that demonstrate various darts, pockets, facings and waistband techniques.
Over the next few weeks, we will concentrate on working through Section One of the Garment Constructions Module. I hope that it will be fun as well as informative. 
A while back, I did a tutorial on how I sew on my hooks for Sew News when we were constructing the Decades of Style Arches Skirt. So many of you asked for a video, so to kick things off, I thought I would do a little video on how I sew my hooks.
In the written tutorial that I did, I used a standard bar hook. You can find that tutorial HERE.

For the video tutorial, I used a decorative hook. It's a little larger and I felt that it would be a little easier to see. At least that's my hope :)

I hope you enjoy the video tutorial. I love doing things like this!


As I said, in the upcoming weeks, we will be doing lots of seam finishes, hand stitches and hemming techniques.  
Enjoy!
