Hi Folks I hope you are well My channel is dedicated to dressmaking, I plan to include pattern drafting, sew and tells, how to videos and everything in between. Enjoy
I love sew alongs and this one is an exceptional tutorial! It includes many “sewing efficiently” techniques I want to learn. Clear, concise commentary, without superfluous chatter which can be so annoying in others’ videos. Thanks so much Suzanne! I’m looking forward to a deep dive into all your videos 😊
Suzanne, I don't know if you will see this post but I wanted to tell you how much I've learned from your channel. You have to be so smart teaching yourself how to sew as beautifully and professionally as you do. You mentioned the book Pattern cutting made easy by Gillian Holmon and so I bought it...OMG it is the most incredible book for pattern cutting I have ever used. I have purchased so many books on pattern cutting and the book by Gillian Holmon is absolutely fantastic. I just finished a bodice block and I can't believe how she breaks everything down so nicely. It truly is pattern cutting made easy. I can't thank you enough for recommending that book. I never would have known about it had it now been for watching you channel. I hope you come back soon. I still binge watch your channel and love it. You are a great teacher.
I follow and Love all your vedeos. They are really interesting . How can I draw a pattern of this dress, please? Do you have a vedeo of how to create this pattern? Thank you
I'm all for beginners reaching for patterns a bit beyond their skill level because desire is a great learning motivator. Even if the initial outcome is unwearable, you'll advance more quickly and feel challenged and be better equipped to try again. I would also *not* rely on salesclerks to recommend suitable fabrics or fabric amount. As you said, they want to make a sale. They are incentivized to cash you out and move on. In my experience, most salesclerks do not themselves know how to sew except in boutique fabric stores. Best way not to waste is to try out your pattern on an old bedsheet of a similar weight to your desired result. This will help you work out sizing issues as well as familiarizing you with any tricky instructions.
I love your style, i can sew but can't do my own patterns, but most of my recent patterns they are very similar. I love how you how you interline. I also love your accent i am english but live in n ireland love it here.
