So, so helpful! Please make this a series!

Thanks Lauren, a very helpful blog. I’ll give it a go as I like the effect of the fabric.🇦🇺

Brilliant, thanks, Lauren - I've just bought some for the first time, and this has helped firm up my plans for what to do with it 😁👍

I love double gauze it’s my favourite fabric ,great video lots of tips love your top.

Hello Lauren, thank you for such a great informative video. Your top looks amazing on you. Will definitely give double gauze a try.

Even though I’ve been a dress maker for many years Lauren, I love learning about the different fabrics x

I made my little granddaughter a beautiful dress in this fabric and it became her best go to dress because she loved the soft comfort of the fabric. First time I’d ever worked with this fabric and I really enjoyed working with it. About to make more dresses for her this year as she’s outgrown her other dress. ❤❤

Thanks Lauren, that was very helpful as I bought some beautiful crimson double gauze from your shop last October.

Beautiful top love that color. I’ve sewed with double gauze before. It wasn’t that bad. The dress turned out really nice. Very good tips! Thanks 🥰

Very helpful! You answered all my questions. Thank you.

Very good information. I enjoy your videos. I have not sewn with double gauze yet but I intend to

Thank you for all the tips. I french seam everything as double gauze is more for loose garment.

Thanks Lauren, very timely (for me anyway) as I’ve just cut out the SewHouse Seven Mississippi dress pattern out in double gauze. Can’t wait to make it up now!

Thank you! You're a great educator. I wish I could come and work in the shop and soak up all your knowledge first-hand - dream job. (Commute of 4500 miles might be a bit much, though.) 😁❤🇨🇦

Really appreciated this info. Many thanks.

Thanks a lot! Exactly what i needed to know.

This was very helpful, thank you!

Great video thanks😊

You can definitely do French seems on sleeves and I have just done French seems on side pockets

I just bought 4 yards of gauze. This was before I knew how hard it would be to sew with😮

Wish I'd found this video a year ago when I bought double gauze to make my first ever sewing project! It...did not go well lol, but maybe next time will be better!

Love Double gauze fabrics, but still struggling with what to do when the pattern asks for interfacing (f.e. a waistband)... does the structure of the fabric reappear with washing? Is block fusing prefered?

Very like

Can you sew sequins and beads onto it ?

Hi there! Thank you so much for this information. Can you please let me know where you purchased the blue gauze with embroidered flowers? It’s beautiful!

Hi Lauren please can you tell me what pattern you used for the white v neck double gauze with the blue markings I loved that pattern.

Hello, that was the Grainline Hadley top :)

Hi Lauren, I love your videos and your accent! I tried several Cielo tops with cotton gauze and they all stretched out. Not sure what I did wrong.

Hi Susan, it could be that if you pre washed it and the fabric contracted as part of that prewash, but then you didn't iron it out that much before cutting out and sewing it up....then as you wear that garment the heat from your body relaxes the fabric and it stretches out...?

Thank you so much Lauren.I have the Pipit Loungewear pattern and I just bought some Double Gauze for it. I was wondering if it was going to get caught or pucker in the machine because of the layers; your video was very informative and clear. Love the daisy print DG you have, do you sell it? and where? Many tanks xx

Your most welcome 😊 it was a fabric we did have a few summers ago and isn’t available anymore I’m afraid. Our current range of double gauze is in this link, on the second page there are some other embroidered ones 😊

Where do you get your prints? I have a hard time finding double gauze in the states

I have some linen fabric that is see though, what fabric do you recommend as lining.

I try a light weight cotton lawn or voile and see if that gives better opaqueness :)

Lauren, what pattern is the blue blouse on the thumbnail photo of this video?

Hello, its a sleevless version of the helens closet Gilbert top :)

I've just sewn up some PJs in this material and my stitches are snapping all over the place. Is it possible my stitch length was too short? What about thread tension? I'm a total novice so all tips are appreciated.

hello Maddie, its hard to say for sure without having a look at the stitches. Normally shorter stitches can make seams even stronger so. A standard stitch length is 2.5mm. Could be thread tension, or could be the quality of the thread. If its very old on unbranded thread then it may break easier. I use Gutermann Sew All thread (which is polyester) for my sewing and find it gives good results and agrees with my machine, I hope that helps :)

I have a solid and I can’t tell if there is a right and wrong side.

What about hemming gauze???

If the gauze isn’t too sheer does it need interfacing or can just be sewn as is for tops dresses etc? If so what kind or type of interfacing

@LaurenGuthrieGhani

Hello, I would recommend still using interfacing if its typically used in a pattern, for example areas like a collar, button bands, cuffs etc. A light weight one like these ones should be fine for most double gauze. guthrie-ghani.co.uk/shop/fabric/vlieseline-light-weight-iron-on-woven-interfacing-white guthrie-ghani.co.uk/shop/fabric/vlieseline-easyfuse-ultra-soft-lightweight-iron-on-interfacing-white

I know this is an older video but I’m wondering about the pre-wash instructions. How badly does this fabric fray in the pre-wash? Is there anything special you should do prior to that first wash to help stop the fraying?

@LaurenGuthrieGhani

Жыл бұрын

Hello, I usually overlock the cut edges to minimise fraying. I can tend to fray as it is a looser weave fabric :)

@@LaurenGuthrieGhani Thank you for the info. I’ve had the fabric just sitting there since purchase as I was scared to wash it!! Lol

Very nice but looks to large for you … but what do I know 😁

The fabric sags as the day goes on. It tightens up again once washed
