Hey there, welcome to my Little RU-vid Channel called CocoZini DIY. Though I’m a Finance and Public Health Professional by day, I will also call myself an Entrepreneur, an Apparel Designer, and a Mother by night. I like Art, Nature, and a Genuine love for Crafts, Crochet, and Sewing.
I love living my Life every day with { Aspiration . Inspiration . Strive . Believe }
Thank you! I have a soft very colorful wool lap blanket that has fringe and I want to make it into a poncho. I don't know if I will add the collar - but I really like that look - very Jackie Kennedy! Love this chic and elegant look. Your video gave me the confidence to lay out my fabric and make sewing magic!
The word unfold everyone doing fashion design tutorials using is absolutely wrong,we should try as much as possible to say the fabric is folded either into two or four parts. The word unfold means it’s open not lying on one another. Capeesh!
I realize this video is 3 years ago but I’m confused about where to measure from when you measure 2 inches from the center line? It’s about 4 minutes and 11 seconds into the video. Thanks. Did you ever start your online classes?
Thanks for watching. Yes, you are correct. The 2 inches is from the center line. Not at all, I didn’t get to starting the online classes. (Life took over 😊). Hopefully soon. It’s still a goal for me. Thanks for asking.
Thank you mama! I smiled all through your detailed tutorial because we share the same body measurement which makes things easy for me😊. Thank you once again ❤
@@CocoziniDIYI'm sorry, I don't understand. You said it was on the fold. Is it 1 or 2 pieces of fabric? Are there one or 2 folds. I'm thinking fold the long way and then fold in half. There will then be a fold at the bottom and the left side, salvage on right and raw edge at the top. Am I correct?
@@sassys1240 I hope I’m able to explain it properly. I have one folded fabric for the front and then after cutting it I placed it on another folded fabric to cut the back. Because I don’t have enough fabric, I was only working with what I have, so if you have enough fabric depending on the length you want, you can fold it anyway if you’re using cotton. For me I folded it with the selvage edges at the top and bottom as shown in the video, so it allows me to accommodate the knee length and still have a bit fabric left over. My fabric is 44” long selvage to selvage. For me to fold it that way, I measured the biggest part of my body which is my hips. Then I divided it by 2 and added 5 to 6 inches extra. Example if your hips is 44” divided by 2 = 22” then add 6” = 28”. Which means 28” is the width of the fabric when it is folded. I hope it helps.
