Next month is London Fashion Week and some of Britain’s greatest designers are getting ready to show their new collections. Specialist sewers and embroiders fill studios around London  bringing fabulous designs to life. Hand beading just one dress can take many days and often nights, so hand ache frequently sets in……slowing down work and causing discomfort.

Hands have to be kept in great condition.

Which is why Seams now plays a vital part in a fashion designer’s atelier room.

I recently received some fabulous feedback from Selfridges’ Head Seamstress, about how great Seams is for sewers hands. I had sent her some to trial as she couldn’t find a way to treat her sore, cut hands. The only time the sewing-induced cut on her thumb ever healed was when she was away on holiday. Yet when she tried Seams whilst at work, the split skin on her thumb began to heal with in a week!

I’ve heard from other designers, dressmakers and sewers saying that they are big fans of SEAMS HAND CREAM too. A common problem with sewers is dry skin so that they often seek to find a good reliable hand cream. Constantly touching fabrics, chemicals and glues also causes skin to dry and crack, leaving hands and fingers prone to snagging the fragile materials. On top of this dozens of daily pin-pricks, cuts from scissors and burns from hot irons make hands really sore and damaged.

However no other hand cream helps to solve all of these problems like Seams does, which is what makes SEAMS HAND CREAM so unique and popular! It helps to heal and moisturise dry, sore hands, plus it’s non-greasy-but-still nourishing texture sinks into skin straight away! Designers can be fitting a dress on a model minutes before a show and their hands must be smooth, greasy fingerprints are a definite no-no when working with fine materials.

Using Seams Hand Cream really does care for hard-working sewers hands, and here’s how:

THE HAND PROBLEM: CHAPPED HANDS SNAG MATERIALS

THE SEAMS SOLUTION : Seams uses Macadamia Nut Oil to help soften and condition cracked areas on your hands so that they are not prone to splitting. Glycerine also helps to maintain moisture levels way so skin stays soft.

THE HAND PROBLEM: SPLIT NAILS TEAR FABRICS

THE SEAMS SOLUTION: Keratin significantly improves the condition of damaged nails, so that nails grow strong, healthy and smooth. Seams gives them a natural shine too!

THE  HAND PROBLEM: CONSTANT WASHING CAUSES DRY SKIN

THE SEAMS SOLUTION: Clean hands are vital for crafters, but constant washing in water just dries them out even more. Seams contains Shea butter which is deeply moisturising, soothing and helps promote skin renewal. Fragonia Oil a natural anti-bacterial which helps to keep hands clean.

THE  HAND PROBLEM: MOISTURE CAN LEAVE MARKS

THE SEAMS SOLUTION: Seams has been developed with a secret non-greasy texture that sinks into the fabric of your skin straight away so there’s no risk of ruining delicate materials with greasy fingerprints and stains.

THE HAND PROBLEM: PIN-PRICKS AND HOT IRONS MAKE HANDS SORE

THE SEAMS SOLUTION: Glycerine which helps to treat burns, minor skin sores and maintain moisture balance; Fragonia Oil which helps to heal with anti-inflamatory properties makes Seams the perfect skin-soother for treating damaged hands.

THE  HAND PROBLEM: HANDS ACHE FROM REPETITIVE SEWING

THE SEAMS SOLUTION: One of the most common causes of hand aches is caused when performing repetitive work such as sewing ( repetitive strain injury). Taking a couple of minutes massaging Seams into your hands from wrist to finger tips to loosen the joints and encourage blood circulation, paying particular attention to the palms of your hands.

So always keep a tube of SEAMS HAND CREAM in your sewing basket and by your sewing machine.

Create beautiful things with beautiful hands.
