I have a question not related to this video. Do you have a tutorial for beginners on the care and maintenance of a sewing machine? Also can you recommend a good sewing machine that is not too expensive for simple projects (mainly coasters, placemats etc.) to sell? I am a novice at sewing and would like advice on anything, as I am thinking of selling on Etsy for some income.

@christinehubbard2035 2 года назад

Lol I burst out laughing when you said “it’s not funny”!!! Sooo relatable! Lol 😂 I love your pattern drafting tutorials!

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 года назад

Christine, I started stressing out so bad because I just did clean up the floor from the leftover drafting paper and I thought i threw the pattern piece out. My heart was pumping so hard!

@mamasprintable2418 2 года назад

I know the feeling… yet it feels so rewarding when you wear it on .. you show it proudly to everyone 🥰🥰🥰

@denisedorsey2889 2 года назад

That fabric is so you! Great little jacket, and yes, no sewing when tired. Everyone has to learn that painful lesson. Some of us have to relearn it!

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 года назад

Denise, I raise my hand for the re-learning part - he he, that's me :) I really love the jacket, it is just when you're tired you make silly mistakes that make the whole experience less than smooth :) But I looooooove the way it turned out - so happy!

@vivenna 2 года назад

I really enjoy this new format of showing your behind the scenes process! It’s relieving to see that even with your level of experience it’s totally normal to have curveballs, makes me feel less judgmental about my own attempts haha Looking forward to the assembly video! It’s really difficult to find well fitting jackets at affordable prices, so that’s generally a really interesting pattern topic! :)

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 года назад

Ka Rin - yay! As always, great to hear from you (and I still want to try that stretchy thread that you mentioned, so curious!) That is what I want to do from now on - take you on a journey with me - bumps, success, problem-solving - we all go through it, but you don't see it in an edited step-by-step tutorial. And you're right - totally normal to have curveballs and I want us to experience it together so that the next time is less scary! :)

@susanrussell8195 2 года назад

I love when you were looking for the collar piece. When you placed your hand up to your face, I really had to laugh. I felt like I was watching myself right down to the hand to the face. That scene has played out so many times in my sewing room.

@Penguinandpear 2 года назад

What a fab video! I really love these recent videos where you take us on the journey you had making it. It’s super relatable. I wish there were more sewing videos like this. I know the work involved in this type of video so thank you!! Also your jacket looks amazing. I wouldn’t know it was handmade looking at it much less self drafted. Your talent is amazing! I say this genuinely x

Marion, I should have known better :) you know how I say - "don't sew when you're tired or in a rush".... eh, breaking my own "rules" here, but luckily it al got done :)

@abaigealduda2756 Год назад

I've watched this a couple of times. Going to watch the members' extra again, too. You have done so many amazing projects- both simple and complex! I really love the style of this and the neoprene material. I also particularly love the upcycle jacket you did that repurposed the pleated skirt. So inspiring!!!

@PsychicKathleen 2 года назад

I am such an unabashed fan - love your process, teaching and results. I have a neoprene jacket by the Gap that I bought years ago. I didn't realize it was made of neoprene until I watched your video! I Like your black one I love it. It washes like a dream, it always looks great and it's the perfect weight for our weather (I'm in Victoria BC Canada) which is rainy in the spring. It has princess shaping and fits me like a glove. Watching this video was brilliant. Now I'm thinking I want all the neoprene jackets especially one with such a beautiful print like yours. You always make up such pretty feminine clothes!

@mrgarner4796 Год назад

I have a 'spring/fall' jacket that I love. It goes with so many things including different colored t-shirts that I can wear with it. This video gives me confidence that I might be able to clone my jacket. I believe I have enough fabric and I can't wait to begin my pattern. When I first watched your video those months ago, I knew I was tucking it away in my memory...for a reason. Thank you!

@dpr4820 2 года назад

I am loving the new format! Your videos have always been very professional and genuine; however, getting a sneak peek into the real-life sewing challenges (which I'm very familiar with!) is very helpful and very fun to watch! The pattern splicing and how you "Frankensteined" it together was also extremely helpful! Thanks for the skill share link too. I signed up! Always look forward to your videos. Thank you!

@dpr4820 2 года назад

Also, the jacket turned out so cute! Loved the fabric.

@lindak8664 Год назад

That is so pretty. I’m amazed you managed to get it out of so little fabric! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Pockets are an absolute must for me. I need somewhere to put my glasses. I have been known to edge join scraps to get a pocket bag in desperation, hehe! Just as long as the bit I can actually see has the correct grain, I don’t care if the unseen part is along, across or inside out, as long as its straight. 😂

@JosieStev 2 года назад

Perfect color, print, and pattern for you. I love to take apart my old fave clothes to see how they are made and try to sew them back together. My grandmother would do that for me and then make two new ones and of course put the old one back together. I’m trying to recreate some of my fave items and recreate them with linen. It’s a such a shifty fabric. I loved your dyed blue pants recreation. You are very talented 💙

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 года назад

Thank you so much! I love your story of your Grandmother! Wise woman! You're so right - it can be a little shifty, it just likes to do whatever you want to do with it - I have accidently stretched it before just by ironing to aggressively :)

The BEST way to shorten a metal zipper is to remove the bottom stop. You can then place the same stop in the new location or just apply a cross stitching by hand. Love your jacket!

@lana7422 2 года назад

Looooove your jacket. I have that same identical print only with a navy blue background. I made a dress out of it, but didn't want to put a zip in so I used a neckline that allowed me to pull it over my head. Love your ingenuity.

Bravo, Alisa, on a sensational make!!! I love your jacket and I am a big fan of scuba knits (well, some of them, anyway!). Your ability to dive into this project with purpose and confidence. creates a sense of “I can do it to” in other sewists. I honestly don’t believe you are going to miss pockets in your jacket as most likely it will be worn with a bottom that has them. I had to laugh when you were looking for the neck pattern piece….yeah…it was a little funny! ❤️

@arvettadelashmit9337 2 года назад

We all make mistakes. I have to make a tester for both sides of me; because, I am very lop-sided. Your jacket is beautiful. Day before yesterday, I was trying to get one of my quilt tops quilted. The machine quilting was not going right. Yesterday, I spent most of the day picking my quilting out. My fingers got so dry that the skin on my right thumb, index, and middle fingers cracked open. I got blood on my quilt. I decided that the backing fabric and the thread that I used was the problem. I then went through my stash and found a better backing fabric. Now I can quilt with machine quilting thread and hopefully get the look I want. Today, my fingers were to sore to work on a quilt; so, I went on a needed shopping trip instead. I bought a seam ripper with a magnifying glass built on it. Tomorrow, I will tape up my sore fingers and get that guilt together and quilted

Looks amazing, great work 😊 You used your woven bodice block, right? And just used the scuba as if it was a woven fabric?

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 года назад

Yes, correct. Scuba/neoprene is a stable knit, and it holds shape, therefore it cannot be used as a flowy knit. And I just used a woven block with dart and did adjustments to it.

There is a full detailed Members Extra for this jacket that explains step-by-step what to do (just minor adjustment, no instruction sheets needed for this + have you seen the Members Announcement a few months back that there will be no more instruction sheets, due to the fact that all tutorials are available on the channel and Instruction Sheets for future projects are redundant? All Members Extra videos, including this announcement are in the Members Extra playlist, link on the Members Tab and underneath every Members Extra), what pattern block to start with and what to do including the neckline, all of the tutorials are also underneath that Members Extra - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-axg7SWflg3Q.html

You will see links for perks. Click on the Instruction sheets. You will end up on a Google drive with 4 folders. In the templates folder you will find small templates - there is not templates for cotton towels as it is...just a rectangle, no need for template. There is an Instruction sheets for how to draft a bucket hat in the Instruction Sheets folder. There is a template for the fabric basket in the templates folder. There is no need for template for a bandana - those are just rectangles and I give measurements in the video. Please look around the Google Drive - everything that needs a template is there and for you to use. If you are using Apple and you don't see Membership tab - just go to the Community tab and scroll until you see Members Extra video post, click on the video and open the infobox - all links are there! And have fun in your sewing journey - it was great to have You! :)
