Sewteacher.com is a grassroots business created by and designed for working professionals, stay at home moms, amateur decorators, and anyone who is interested in creating original decorative and functional products for their home.  

 

The Sewteacher philosophy is based on the idea that quality home decorative goods and professional sewing products aren't only for those who can afford to hire high-priced decorators and seamstresses.  The DIY or do-it-yourself movement is growing as quality goods become more expensive to buy, and more consumers across the nation are seeking ways to make their own products in a more cost effective manner.  The added benefit of the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment that comes from designing and making your own home goods only adds to this growing phenomena.  We here at Sewteacher firmly believe in the do-it-yourself attitude, and our goal is to help you design and produce your own home decorative products such as pillows, window treatments, bedding, using the same methods and tools the professionals use, at a fraction of the cost!       

 

Sewteacher instructional videos feature our Creative Director, Beth Bates, a professional seamstress with many years experience making window treatments, bedding and pillows.  Beth will walk you through the steps in a calm, relaxed manner, using easy to understand instructions and examples, all the while giving you special insider seamstress tips and suggestions.  Beth will show you how the professionals do it, so you don't have to hire them to do it for you!

Beth Bates: Hi, I am Beth Bates with SewTeacher.com. Today I am teaching you how to make a lined tablecloth. We are on our final clip right now. We are going to sew the opening closed. We have turned it inside out, so this is the right side showing and if you noticed I have changed out my thread, the top to the same color as my face fabric. I have left the bobbin white however because it will be on the under side and it will match our white lining. So go ahead and place your foot a little bit above where the opening actually is and we will sew along where the seam is, all about a quarter of an inch maybe along and then when we get to the bottom, we will kind of fade out like this. So let's get started. Don't forget to back tack. As we get to the end through the back tack, and just sort of come off. Sniple this threads. Okay now for the fun part, go ahead and take your table square your tablecloth put it on the table, make sure to smooth it out nice and neat. The opening end that we just top stitched be sure to face that towards the back of the wall, ever though we did a nice neat job on it let's not invite people to look at that part. We will have the prettiest part show. Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy your new tablecloth.
