You helped me realize that to get more efficient with sewing as a newbie, it will pay off to look for patterns that have the potential to become TNTs. Another reason to avoid shiny object syndrome with new patterns 🤪 Thank you for this set of specific tips and examples!!

Those print tips were so helpful! Never thought about the patterns that way before, and it makes a lot of sense. The buying more yardage is also a really great tip that sort of helps keep purchasing at bay. More yardage is more money and more storage so maybe I don’t need EVERYTHING in the cart to come home with me today 😂

You are on point with everything that you're teaching. I wish I would have watched this yesterday, because I put together Simplicity 8549, a bralette and I completely forgot to look at the finished measurements on the pattern. I remember you saying this in a past video and I looked everywhere on the envelope except on the pattern itself. Sadly I had to toss 3 hours worth of work and committed to drafting my own pattern today, but I held off. I'm glad I did. You renewed my resolve and I'm going to try it again. Thank you, thank you. You know we love you here in Miami 🌴 ❤ Best to you and hubby!!
@handmadeharriells
@handmadeharriells Год назад
Ooof and it was a bralette… that’s a definite FGM moment! I’ve heard they’re going to start putting those digits on the envelope-of course, that won’t be retroactive for the 3,000 envelopes we already have in our stashes 😂 But now you’ve run through the pattern once and the next pass will be that much easier!

Thank you so much for making it clear that fast sewing can only be done successfully on patterns you already know and have previously fitted to your body. The Great British Sewing Bee (and other similar programmes) appear to promote fast sewing (because it’s necessary in order to make a tv programme) but don’t really make it clear that it compromises on quality and shouldn’t be the way we sew at home without knowing the patterns.

@Musicwarmsmysoul
@Musicwarmsmysoul Год назад
This is a good list and different from other lists like this. The one thing I'd add is a step that builds on fabric print choice/ prepping: go with fabric you've sewn and prepare that fabric as you always have before sewing (e.g., if it's washable at least rinse it as you would and add a towel with it in the dryer if you are super short on time). I didn't do that with the fabric I am currently using and yes I'm kicking myself for it! 😅

I just picked up some fabric today. I am trying to add to my summer wardrobe. I brought it to my room and pulled out a new pattern that I knew was complicated. I even looked and took a breath like I do not want to get into this. After watching this I am going to a simpler pattern that I've done before. Also, less peices. Now I know I will get it done in time to enjoy. Thank you! 😊
