Iron-on fabric

My daughter Dislikes feeling the seams on her school uniform. Does anybody know a fabric which I could iron-on to the garment?  I was thinking about cotton flannel. I really don't know if any type of fabric can be used or how to prepare an iron on of any fabric either.  Help, suggestions?

Maybe you could topstitch the seams down? It will then lay flat and might not irritate her so much.
Other than that, I really don't know of any other way to cover up the seams. You could try to iron on some flannel over the seams, but I don't think it'll hold up after washing and it will make the garment look bulky in those areas.

I feel for your daughter.  Clothing tags and seams can be very uncomfortable and itchy!  Especially now that many garments are made with nylon thread!  Ouch!

I might recommend satin bias binding be sewn over the seams of her current uniform. Being bias, it has plenty of give - but I agree with nylkaenid, iron-on might not remain in place until she outgrows her current size (and would make the seam even stiffer), so I would suggest hand sewing it in place...the satin feels so soothing!

When she has outgrown her current size, another suggestion might be to purchase one size too large and sew a new seam  1/2" inside the existing seam - and then cut the existing "itchy" seam out.

Hope this helps

I don't believe ironing on a fabric would help the situation.  The glue needed to make it "iron-on" would become stiff after it cools and probably make the problem even worse.

I think a bias binding - the satin kind they use to bind baby blankets - would be a good choice.  Unfortunately (maybe) you will have to hand sew it over the existing seams.  You can usually buy this in packages at a fabric shop.

Hope this helps!
