- Place the 2 Visors right sides together, placing them edge to edge.
- Pin all along the widest side (= the bottom of the bob)
- Check your machine settings again if you touched them earlier (go back to 2 layers of fabric)
- Stand at the seam and sew with a straight stitch 1 cm from the edge, going all the way around. As usual, remember to backstitch at the beginning and end, and cut any excess threads.
- Before turning your Visor right side out, trim all around it
❓ What does "trim" mean? Trimming in sewing simply means "removing material." In our example, if we turn the visor right side out, the seam allowances will be tucked inside. To avoid unsightly excess material, we remove some material: this allows us to obtain a nice curved line and a very flat visor.
❓ How do you "trim" the seam? It's very simple! Simply cut small triangles along the length to remove excess material. As with notching, be careful not to trim too close to the seam, or you risk creating holes.
- Turn the visor right side out and iron, flattening the seam well with the iron.
💡 Good to know: ironing can seem tedious and when you start sewing, we often tend to skip this step. If this is you, do yourself a favor! Ironing each stitch thoroughly at each stage of the sewing process will have a considerable impact on the final result of your work :)
