You are a genius when it comes to putting colors together. I love all the clothes you create. Thank you for sharing your genius ideas with us. God bless.
Your shirt is beautiful. I love it. Thank you for sharing. You do a beautiful job of putting different colors together. God bless.
Great tips: Using wrapping paper and tissue paper! Thank you!!
Thanks for this great video, can't wait to make these. New Subscriber.
Can you line this?
You can if you wish so :) but you have to remember to line it with fabric that has the same properties in terms of stretch. I have an easy lining tutorial on the channel that will help you :)
Me and my mum went to the sewing shop yesterday and we got 8 metres for 8. Pounds and and the price is usually between £16-£12.
So cute!
Hi, just wanna tell you I finished this pants today and so happy. Drafted the pattern according to your video myself. Rejected by first seamstress because it's not complete. Eventually it needs 3 seamstress to make it perfect but it's a perfect skirt pants now. Thank you for making this tutorial video. It's an interesting journey.
On the shorts, I’d like to know why did you have to come in a quarter of an inch where the crouch line is and then make the curve line from the crouch to the bottom of the shorts???
You can leave it straight, or you can curve it in, depends on what fit you want. If you look at your leg - it does not stay straight, it usually goes from thicker thigh to thinner ankle.
Yes, your voice is different. But there was such an attraction to your essence that I determined to listen as best I could. I believe everyone has a volume button on their devices that they can use to adjust to their preference. There are many videos that have background music that was very distracting to me. So I use the mute button and I read the transcript if there is one. I also have these little things called “loops.” to put in my ears to muffle sounds that bother me. I have always been sensitive to sounds. I learned how to “see about myself”. I would suggest that anyone who is “annoyed” by your voice should do the same. Please continue being your beautiful,ebullient, generous, intelligent, happy, joyous, creative, delightful, Sewing self!
You are so kind, Lynn! Thank you! I saw your previous comments on the linen top and I gave you a few suggestions there, that I hope will help you! Sewing is a such a beautiful craft, and the journey always has ups and down, but it is never dull :)
We are definitely kindred spirits In painting, desire to see the origin of fabrics and an appreciation of artisans at work as well as an appreciation of sewing tools, etc. I have been here 71 years but I feel like I am 25 years old. I want to sew everything! It’s wonderful to see and meet all these people who have the same interest. I am from USA, Louisiana, 10 miles from the coast, right in the middle.
I made my pattern, but I am afraid I will not have enough room to get into this top that has no stretch! i’m going to make one out of muslin first. Is there a formula for how much “ease”to add as the size goes up? What holds me back? I’ve gotten stuck in a tight shirt before.😂 I got it on, but I couldn’t get it off. The other thing that holds me back is- if there is enough room to get it on and off then it looks boxy. It looks good on you so I’ll give it a try.
There is a more detailed video linked in the description of this video for this type of top that explains how to draft it and what to take into the account. Ultimately, the best option would always be to draft a bodice block and then use that to develop patterns, including this one. As always, bodice block video is on the channel as well as other videos where I make patterns using it.
Also, here's another video that you might find useful - it is essentially the same top, just with a long sleeve, made in knit, in that particular video we talk about design, alterations, fabric, what to keep in mind - it helps to see different versions as well as how fabric affects the fit. But you're right, a simple design like this, if there is too much ease looks boxy, but then again you need ease to be able to get it one and wear it. That's where darts would come in play. But you can also make this top in knit, too. Here's the video that I mentioned - ruclips.net/video/wmZoSXopGDU/видео.html
Loving the upcycle.
Really nice.
Last year I took on an online sewing course and thanks to your channel, I was able to pass! Thank you
💖
Thank you very much, Alisa! For people with hair long enough to put in a ponytail, having a scrunchie to go with our new garment is icing on the cake. I want to try that wider style now!
Thank you for your tutorials! What to do with my pile of sleeves, cut off shirts? Any help?
You can make a lot of small projects from small fabric pieces, like sleeves. Here's a full playlist for your inspiration - ruclips.net/p/PLTQAETBWbJdii30W2wZ5dJfUHSnXk-C8q
Do they sell this Evey time of the year or is it seasonal?
It depends, you will have to take a look at what they offer :) I left all the links in the description for your convenience :)
I just love this channel. It made me fall in love with sewing each second
This is the best scrunchie video I've seen! Thank you!
Yay! Thank you!
Beautiful job!!! As always, such an inspiring piece. Love it. Thank you for sharing. God bless.
I love the way your shirt turned out. I love the way you combine different fabrics to make something. The lace is perfect. You are a genius!!!! Thank you very much for showing us how to do so many different things. God bless you. Hugs.
I am watching your videos religiously and learning so much. I am new to this field trying to learn sewing by myself. I have seen your drafting bodice block with dart video. Tried myself. But my shoulder seam of front and back bodice is not matching length wise. Please help me with this. How can adjust this? Or I have taken any measurements wrong? Please help.
Hello there! I would say you have 2 options: 1) go back, retrace your steps and see if you have taken wrong measurements or drafted something slightly off or 2) you can match one of the shoulder seams to the other (so extend, or shorten) and then make a mock up and you will see pretty clearly if something is off.
Why do you curb in on the side seams ?
I love this idea!! To have a scrunchie that works for my think hair would be amazing! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for this information on fabric resources!
Love this method. Thank you for sharing❤
It’s nice to see you do small more manageable projects. Sometimes sewing bigger items can be overwhelming 😅😅. Scraps scraps scraps. 🎉🎉
I made some of these with a different technique, the burrito method. I used flower and veggie fabric remnants from the thrift store and made “Sprinkler Scrunchies” or “Faucet Friends.” Now when I turn on the water I wear the scrunchie around my wrist so I don’t forget the watering, and then return it back to the faucet where it stays until next time. I’m so proud of my little idea and our house sitter loved it too!
I've been watching your videos before I even got a sewing machine and now that I have one I'm completely overwhelmed with project ideas! I tend to get over ambitious with ideas as a beginner, so it was nice to wake up to a simple and useful project. Thanks for sharing!
I totally understand you! It can, for sure, get very overwhelming when excitement and creativity take over. I have a perfect video for you, it starts with very simple projects to build your sewing and pattern skills and I explain why and how :) here it is - ruclips.net/video/qr6gXhevWw8/видео.html
@@ThoughtfulCreativity I'll definitely check it out soon! Thank you!
I know this is second nature to you but not to me. So WOW! I am very jealous of anyone who can sew clothing like this. I am not one of those people. I can sew about anything else but not clothing.
I think that you CAN totally do it! Give yourself a chance and enjoy the journey of making clothes, you can start with sewing for your grand daughters, simple projects first, and then you can see if you like it. I have the perfect video for you how to get started - ruclips.net/video/qr6gXhevWw8/видео.html
I love it. I've always been afraid of zippers. I have sewn a few zippers in my life but I can count on just one hand how many I have sewn. But I'm going to see some of these pouches. My twin granddaughters would clip one of these on their backpacks.
I so want to make these, Thxs sis🧵✅
Thank you, dear. I have thick, fine strand hair. I bet this will be peachy for me and my niece!
Oh yes, also choose smooth fabric, like silk or silk like, and then you will be able to slide scrunchie out of your hair without much damage to the hair!
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Good tip, sunshine
Your videos are always so informative and I appreciate them always!
Glad you like them and thank you for a sweet comment! I always try to do my best with the videos and give my all so that more people can enjoy sewing :)
Lovely tutorial. Thank you ❤
Thank YOU for watching! 😊
Thank you for this video
My pleasure!
Thank you I have so much scrap fabric and now I have time to use it. Thank you.
Same here! I am overflowing with fabric scraps I made these for project "Dress A Girl" to put in the pockets of the dresses. Scraps used - check, scrunchies made for little girls - check :)
I like this method. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, Terie! :)
