thank you, I lost the instructions a long time ago and found the pattern recently and really wanted to make it since it looks so breezy, and it is so hot out. Also, it doesn't call for a lot of time and fabric!
Thank you for this video. You’re the first video I’ve found that used actual fabric instead of small paper pattern. I’m new to sewing and the small example paper pattern confuses me. I needed to see how the actual fabric was sewn in. Thank you so much ❤
I am going to try this using 100% cotton aluminized utility fabric. I got when JoAnn’s moved in our town. They sold everything before closing the old location I got this bolt I wonder if I should use two layers? The foam under my old one has always been a problem.
Thank you for this excellent tutorial! It really helped me to understand the steps involved in matching prints. Your teaching style is very clear and easy to follow.
I solved my issue by not using a cheaper sewing thread. I had bought very cheap Birch thread. Changed to Gutterman. Amazing difference to the stitches not doing weird loop every so often and wonky stitches on the back of sewing.
I did two pair today just like this. I love them. I wish we could post a photo. I googled what size needle. It said no 16. Wow, was that a wonderful needle for denim. I was pleasantly surprised! I cut 9”off because the girl wanted below knees so that meant 4.5” but it worked. I also added the white seam above using no 5 for length!
I’m so confused because I’m using a print fabric so when I print the pattern how should I place the printed pattern print side up on the printer fabric or put the print down pattern down on the back side of the print fabric. I’m so confused. Can you do another video tutorial explaining this using your printed pattern so I can see how to place each pattern on the printed fabric. I’m so confused. Thanks
Always love to look back at your videos to refresh my sewing and pattern knowledge. These longer videos really helped me out when I was first starting to sew years ago cause they are truly so clear and informative. :) Whenever I get stuck on something, I know you've got my back. Thank you!!
Okay thanks for this. Realy appreciate it. So what i get is that this mat should not be moved? Meaning if i am using my table for both work and sewing So each time i move the mat up have to recalibrate?
its not so much if the cutting mat moves after it is calibrated. It is if you bump or adjust the projector or stand. If you have it calibrated, you can move the mat all you want because the pattern projection is static and scaled correctly. As long as the table height and the projector does not change you can use the table for other things without re-calibration. But still best to check the calibration real quick when starting a new project just to be sure.
I recently made a stitch book for my new machine. Its fun to explore what can be done beyond straight and ziz-zag stitches. This was a great practical application, thanks! 🌻🍄
I am very new to sewing and I do very basic stuff but need to change my work t-shirt to V neck because like many "I hate it with passion". Do I need a speciat thread? do I also need the speciat foot is shown in your machine? Thank you
Wow! Thank you so very much for this tip. I am not a fan of crew neck t-shirts, but in the past year I bought one to encourage an amazing band called "Double Experience". With the help of your very clear and precise instructions I just altered my t-shirt in under 10 minutes! Guess what I'll be wearing today? Ha, ha. I will be sharing your video with my family and friends. Thanks again.
Is there A reason to use raglan rather than set in sleeves? Yes I am VERY new to this. In my case fleece or flannel. I've noticed the fleece clothing I wear more often tend to have have set in sleeves ............. I guess that observation should be enough of an answer but I am wondering if there is something obvious I am missing?
What’s the best needle to use on denim? I am using clear invisible thread so it’s very thin and fine and regular thread in the bobbin. Thanks in advance x
Something I didn’t see in this video is the importance of hanging your pieces. When cutting in bias, there is a stretch to your pieces that’s gonna change the shape of your pieces and alter the measurements. Cut and hang your pieces overnight, then lay your pattern on your pieces to trim anything uneven BEFORE sewing your pieces together. Anything uneven will be very visible if you don’t hang your pieces before you attach them together.
