Video Tutorial

In this video, I demonstrate my favorite method of basting, notching, and sewing together challenging curves on my cosplay costume projects. With just a few simple steps, you can create crisp, smooth seams along almost any curved seam in your project.

For this cosplay project, I used one of our print-at-home sewing patterns to create a dress inspired by Rowlet from the Pokémon series. You can find this pattern and others that call for using this technique in our store through the links below.

Happy Sewing!
