This is a great tutorial, just what my poorly-fitting muslin needs! I especially need the high rounded-back adjustment and I have a question about that. Do I necessarily need to keep that new shoulder dart that’s created? I mean, there’s already a design line with the raglan sleeve and I really don’t want another “line” added to the neck area. Can I rotate that dart to the raglan line or will that not work? Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I’ve used a few different canvases to make these. I think this particular pair is a very heavy cotton ripstop. You can see the square grid pattern on it. I found it at a discount fabric place otherwise I’d point you to where I got it.
@@SewSewLive thank you for sharing. If this is the pattern I’m thinking of, I wonder if I can ask for your help with sizing my brain has watched many videos and now I have brain fog. lol. Thank you again for the link
Hi I’m literally watching this in the future 😂5yrs later,I just bought this pattern and planning to sew it up,luckily I found your sew along and I’m definitely going to sew it with you ❤thank you for great job
I use something similar to Pellon 70. But I’ve also used soft and stable foam. It’s described in the pattern info. And there are a few kits left on the website. sewsew.live/products/quickie-tool-case-sewing-pattern
Ive just tried to make a camp collar using a bought pattern. I just couldn't understand it. Just found this video. It looks complicated but Im going to give it a try soon. I have had to adjust most of the front of the blouse was just too small. So fingers crossed. Ty so much for the video, might just save this blouse. ❤❤
I agree about quilting rulers. As a garment sewer, I only use them when I need a thick ruler for cutting. Otherwise they are no help to me for measuring.
just watching this now and I want you to know I had the exact same problem with the collar stand---more than 1.5" needed to be eased---I stay stitched everything AND checked to see if things had stretched (they had not.). I think the pattern cuts it very close
It is indeed the pattern! Some traditional style drafts of collar stands have you ease the neckline. But I don’t think this is great for all fabrics. I ended up adjust the pattern. I make this one a few times each year!
Thank you so much!! Im making a childs shirt and prefer doing french seams for longevity and could not for the life of me figure out how to do the armhole cleanly. So thank you for doing a concise step by step tutorial! My son's new shirt came out awesome!
Not always! Many categorize waist as the narrowest location OR where you bend when you lean to the side OR where you think your waist is OR the navel. Theres lots of places it can be. Pick what is more logical to you so you stay consistent. And your word will move around year to year too.
love the clock ticking ! I feel baffled by all the sloper drafting systems, but especially the fact that they all sofar make the back and front measurement (at fullbust height) the Same, which cant be right !
Haha! You either love my clock or hate it! I don’t think the bust in front is the same. Personally I draft them differently. It could be on some people though!
Hi there - thanks for this, very helpful particularly for the placket! and for turning the yoke... However, you don't follow the pattern in places and I've noticed the instructions for construction of collar is unusual whereas you do what I expected to do - which is simpler. Do you think the drafting/instructions are needlessly complex for this tunic? Just wondering - since you obviously have heaps more experience than me! thanks in advance.
I’m sure the drafting is just fine! There’s a lot of ways to construct things and when you have to explain to people how to sew it (as in writing the instructions), I imagine its easiest to rely on the greatest amount of information out there. Trying to explain a technique that one cannot google easily is going to be trickier for a pattern company. If they stick to traditional methods, then someone can find a tutorial if the instructions aren’t speaking to them. I sew things differently all the time. But it’s not because I think the original instructions are unnecessarily fussy all the time. (Sometimes yes haha!) I wish more industry techniques were common place. But they’re just not. And I have my favorite ways!
So thankful that I found this video and found you! This is the only way I do my collars now and they come out perfect every time! Thank you very much. I also do my yokes like you do now. I was also thankful that this was not a live sew a long where there were questions and answers.🤪
The constant chitter-chatter between sewing instructions is VERY frustrating. All the discussion of avocado and etc makes this really hard to watch. Frustrating.
Hi! It’s a live stream! I’m not paid. So if you need a sew along you might try the pattern company! Maybe they can help you! Otherwise you’re welcome to hang out and chat with us sometime! Hope your Ellsworth turns out great! I’ve made two so far and love them!
I don’t have a How To video but I did live stream it here: Sewing Fairfield Button Part 2 up by Thread Theory Designs ru-vid.com_R0EvJaszmU?feature=share I’ll put a how to video on the list.
I can definitely picture myself making one of these for hand sewing stuff. I'm currently using a standard canvas tool roll. That feels cool but really doesn't work well--especially for my sashiko supplies.
Watching this again because I saw that you had made the Kalispell dress. Good to know about the button band and I have some pretty double gauze (I went on a dg buying spree a few years ago😇) I have been wanting to sew. I might try this one as I’ve been looking at this dress forever! Adding-does the pattern actually have a flat felled seam at the waist? Or did you decide to do it that way?
@@katesterling8915 that made me laugh too. I'm allergic to hand sewing, but I love watching Bernadette hand sew it's like watching a magic show for me.
Having my first go with stretchy knit, making some sweatpants. The fabric feels so soft that I have decided to not finish the seam allowances. Feels like the lightest seam treatment is none at all if it isnt going to fray anyway
I'm so glad that you didn't delete this video. I'm somewhat intimidated by my cover stitch machine. It's inspirational to see someone have problems and not be defeated. So like you I will press on with a smile on my face and figure it out. Thanks.
