There’s a lot more to sewing than actually sewing.
Many non-sewing steps happen at the very beginning and can make a big difference in your project’s success.
This video explains the beginning steps for every garment sewing project, including the process of laying out your pattern pieces, cutting the fabric, and when to make whole patterns.
As one of my professors used to say, “It’s all downhill after you cut it out.” so - let’s get going.

This is a great video. I really learned a lot and as a new sewist I need all the help I can get. I have just one question. When you mentioned using tailor's chalk, you also said be sure not to iron it. What would happen? Hi to you from Kingston, Jamaica! 🙂

@TheDailySew 11 дней назад

You can always test your chalk on a scrap of fabric but I assume all chalk will stain the fabric if ironed😬. It happened to me once so now I don't trust ironing over any marks that I need to come off.

What does it mean when the grainline only has one arrow?...instead of it having an arrow at each end of the grainline?

@TheDailySew 5 месяцев назад

Good Question. It's the same as if it had an arrow at both ends as far as the grain goes. I think when I see only one arrow head on a pattern it is pointing to the bottom of the piece (when it is sewn together as a garment the arrow would point down) And maybe patternmakers do this so if you are cutting out a fabric with a direction, you can have all the arrows pointing in the same direction.

I had considerable anxiety watching you try to straighten the fabric. It's like folding a fitted sheet to me!

@TheDailySew 5 месяцев назад

Ha! I cannot fold a fitted sheet.

I recently had to cut a long skirt and i had to do it against the grainline because otherwise it didn't fit in my fabric. I hope it doesn't end up looking too bad😅😂

@TheDailySew 3 месяца назад

If you cut all the pieces (the skirt pieces - not necessarily pockets or waistband) with the same grain then you are ok. And, possibly, depending on your fabric, still ok if only one panel is cut off grain. I play get-it all-on-the-fabric-at-any-cost frequently. I'm also pretty good at packing all my groceries into minimal bags ;-) Practice 😄
