Drafting and sewing pin tucks
I added the pin tucks to the Sewaholic Alma blouse. I ddidn't use a pin tuck foot because I don't have one, I just used an ordinary presser foot, and it worked out fine!

    Step 1

    My pin tucks are 1/8" wide, with a space of 5/8" between each one. I re-traced my front pattern piece and ruled the lines where I wanted to insert the tucks.

    I made four tucks on my pattern piece (eight overall on the garment). The 5/16" space on the left is half of one 5/8" space. This is the centre front edge that is cut on the fold.

    I then cut along the lines and filled the spaces in with pink paper. Each space is 1/8" wide.

    This is what the whole pattern piece looks like. To mark the tucks on the fabric I cut a snip in the fabric, just a few millimetres long, at either side of each tuck. Then I connected them up with a long ruler and some chalk.

    Pin along each chalked line, and sew. I pressed my tucks towards the centre front.
