In this session, I demonstrated another example of creating a Hong Kong seam finish by bias binding each pattern piece along the seam edges before stitching them together.

I also showed how to cleanly finish the hem of the jacket using bias binding and hand stitching for a chic, professional look.

Lesson Steps:

• Trim seam allowances if needed to reduce bulk
• Apply bias binding to each pattern piece along seam edges
• Stitch bias binding in place
• Join pattern pieces together with Hong Kong seam finish
• For hem finish, apply bias binding along hem edge
• Fold bias binding over raw edge and press
• Hand stitch folded bias binding in place for clean, chic finish
• Option to leave neckline edges frayed or bind with bias binding
