I hope you can help me. I am sewing a pattern that requires two uneven corners to be seamed together. One corner is wider than 90 degrees and the other is smaller than 90 degrees. When I sew them together, I get a pucker of fabric on the wider angled piece that I can't make go away.
I'm trying to sew a cap, the style known as "driving" or "ivy". The angle in question occurs where the top pattern piece meets the underside pattern piece. Piece A has to join piece B where they are pointing towards each other in the photo I’ve attached.
I really appreciate your trying to help! I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
Cheers,
Anne

Hi Anne,
I’ve done a little tutorial on sewing angles and curves using your example. And I do mean little – lol. This would be a doll size driving cap. I only realized at the end that the problem with this is that I can’t put it on someone’s head to show how it would look. But I think you can easily see that the method I used gives nice smooth curves and un-puckered angles.
Please come back tomorrow for Part 1 of the tutorial.
