Hi Terry.

Is it a wool sweater?  Do you have a bit of yarn of the right color?  If so,
you should be able to fix the seam the same way you’d seam a sweater.  Do
the whip stitch to close the seam, and tuck in the ends.

I have a sweater that has split, at the seam.  The seam is so shallow that
you can hardly feel it.

How can I fix it?

I love the sweater!

My ragidy one for the house!

Great, how do I sew stretchy material together. It looks to me like the
sceme just let go and the thread is still attached, but not to both sides of
this hole. Is there some special type of thread or sewing technique I need
to sew this sceme closed?

 

Thank you for the help 

Becky

Cindy has slots available in the September chat schedule for a class or 2 on
hand sewing.

I can teach how to thread a needle, sew a seam or hem, how to sew on a patch
or apliqué, and, if people want, how to sew on a button.  I taught buttons
before, but it was a couple years ago.

Is there interest in any of these things?  If so, which ones?

Tracy
