How to Get a Professional Finish on Your Handmade Garments

Today I'm answering this customer question: “Can I actually create a garment that doesn’t look homemade?” I’m here to tell you that the answer is a resounding YES but achieving this result has very little to do with your level of sewing experience. You might have the impression that the more experience you have with sewing, the more professional your hand made garments will appear. This is not necessarily the case. While years of sewing experience can be extremely helpful, it is not the only ingredient to achieving a garment that doesn’t look homemade. There are a three other very important ingredients that will take your final garment to that professional level. The first is your fabric choice, the second is your method of construction and the third is the pattern itself. In order to achieve a garment that doesn’t look homemade, a sewist must be working with a pattern that has been specifically designed for the fabric and the construction methods that will be used to assemble the garment. Your level of sewing experience is actually the smaller portion of the recipe for success, as long as you have clear instructions on how to execute the proposed method of construction. If these clear instructions are lacking, your sewing experience will definitely play a larger part. To explain this further I’m going to use my experience in the fashion industry as example because when I hear the word “homemade” the opposite of that is industry made (whether that be couture or ready to wear).
