Could you cover for when the back crotch is much lower than the front, due to a pelvic tilt. Like maybe 3 inches

Excellent video

Best detailed instructions, thank you.

Thank you so much for this! I used pins and already had extra gathering threads (which were tricky to remove) but ended up with neat seams. Excellent!

This tutorial makes me want to join the club! Fantastic

Will you address repair of holes on suit pants?

This is an excellent tutorial.

I am looking forward to watching all your elastic sewing experiments. I really need this. I have a tendency to pull the elastic to death, while sewing and then wonder why the panties bag, sag and look so horrible. And yes, I agree that so many videos merrily show "them" sewing the elastic and I am left wondering how they do it and when I try to copy "them", get a totally different result. Thank you in advance for your trouble and informtion. One thing I noticed, is that when you are showing each of your elastic projects, you have a tedency you wave your hand around with the material you are holding, and it is difficult to focus on the stitching. Its like seeing wheels of a car moving in a movie - the wheels move faster than the camera speed is recording, and the end result is just blurry. Can you move a bit more slowly?

Are facings usually only used for woven/non-stretch fabrics? I want to make a sleeveless top out of a t-shirt material (stretch/knit/?) so would that work better with bias binding on the neck and arm holes?

too bad I don't have a working serger.

Which seam would be better if you were sewing an inseam pocket in a dress or skirt? Thank you for this clear and consise video on these two seams!

Thank you...this helps me.

If using a 8 to 10 oz denim, what interfacing would you recommend. I have seen flat lining before. Did you stitch baste around the lined pieces or use some type of adhesive? Thank you

Thanks!

So helpful, clear instructions and demonstration. . Thank you. I had already unpicked my collar and wasn’t sure how to get it done. Instructions with the pattern were vague to put it mildly.

Thanks - 1st adjustment is so intuitive - best I've seen. My only question is whether the hip balance line now has to be slanted on the pattern in order to appear level on the body, or do if I drop it at centre back so that it's squared off at the same level as the side hip mark?

This was great information

Tanks

I have this book and I think the review is very fair. It is a very attractive book, but I had concluded if I was to try any of these ideas I would start with my own sloper and not try the book method. I think anyone who is a bit curvy ( me!) is going to struggle with this. It reminds me of Japanese pattern books which I absolutely love but will never make anything from bc I am a size 16-18 so too big for the largest size. I still buy them tho! The bias binding method is very popular in Japanese pattern books. I think the author is Japanese American so that would make sense.

As always, I'm exhausted watching! The shirt is super! Looks great, well worth the wait to see it completed. Thank you!

The was a GREAT sew along! Thx!

Before stitching the binding onto the hem you might consider a heavy dose of spray starch to the blouse hem edges. When piecing difficult shapes in quilting, this is very helpful. When it dries it makes the fabric crisp like paper and it holds it's shape. After stitching the binding on, you need to rinse out the starch to soften the fabric back to it's original hand. Another step in the process but very helpful for curved hems, sleeve vents, and plackets.

Goad to hear you aren't a fan of zero waste patterns--didn't realize they often use more yardage, as i've never looked as I find they are usually just ugly (though watching this as this one looks nice!). And guessing these zero waste folks never quilt or send scraps to those that do. Using more fabric to make something you likely won't wear more than once is more wasteful than making a better shaped garment made with less yardage & scraps for other projects...

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Your instructions are way less complicated than the pattern. I really appreciate it 🙂

Thank you! Great method.

I bought the pattern, but my waist is size 10 and my booty is a 14. in the instructions it is mention to cut a smaller size for the waist is you are smaller, but I do not know which part, or where I should go from size. 10 to 14.can you show how to do it?

This jacket is stunning!! What a beautiful job! I would like to try that pattern but I don't have a working printer right now.

This is the most helpful tutorial I’ve found. I was so confused with my pattern instructions and couldn’t visualise it. Thank you so much.

Saramy - I did not realize people fear binding and I recently made my own bias tape to bind a microwave tortilla warmer (round) I made as a gift. It was my first time quilting, first time making bias tape, and my first time binding. Good thing I did not know people feared or disliked sewing binding, or I might have been nervous, being a newbie. I just plunged in and used the following method: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIi5mGmAmNWseqs This looks much easier than they way you do it and I'm wondering if you don't use this method for a reason.

Thank you so much for posting this! I am in the middle of taking in cargo shorts for the first time and have 3 pairs to fix and I'm in over my head lol! I appreciate the explanation of things. Soo many tutorials are short and quick and nothing in between 🔴+🟡=🟠 I am trying to learn the correct way and for things to make sense I have to know how we got 🔴 and 🟡 before I can get to the =🟠

I also watched a tutorial by the lady who took over, sure fit designs she’s from South Africa and she strongly recommends stitching in the ditch on your side seam a little bit because the elastic will roll otherwise

Thank you so much! The collar and facing situation was killing me! Your video helped me so much and I was finally able to complete the shirt!

I'm learning to sew my own clothes for the first time and your channel is so helpful! thank you <3

would cork work as a stiffener for bin bins?

Really great tutorial! I love the fabric! If you said where it was from, I missed it.

This is a fantastic tutorial and I have successfully done this to a tshirt pattern, thank you! I'm having trouble doing this for a raglan tshirt like what you show at the beginning of the video. How can I make that work?

Thank you! I really want to own pants that fit me well and love to sew...but I need a lot of instruction and practice.

Maybe a dumb question that i missed: is the pattern cut from the fabric facing right-side or wrong side out?

I ❤ & have one & yours is super as well ❤😊

Hi. Just discovering your channel with your last video on this pants fitting clicking. This one tied with that one *is* clicking. 😊 I’m going to start drawing those plane lines on my pants patterns. My daughter is more the top oval, but has a tummy. Myself I’m more egg shaped with a very round belly.

I had a hard time following the seeming - the fabric was all bunched as the insert was being placed and I couldn't follow it! Explanations were good though

Appreciated the reminder to switch to a Jean Needle! ( easy to forget this ate(

I just noticed you have cats on your jeans! Did you live stream those and I'm not remembering? Time to settle in with some sewing and coffee and see how this jacket gets made.

How do you measure how much elastic you need? Waist measurement minus...?

As a new sewer, I only use self or similar sew in interfacing, like in olden times. 1. don't want synthetic glues in my clothes, 2. when I have taken apart worn out RTW garments, the interfacing was congealed and balled up and made the interfaced pieces not re-usable.

I love this fabric, it turned out beautifully.

What a great Sew-A-Long! You do such a good explaining techniques and offering helpful tips. Very pretty fabric choice too. I'm sure you'll get tons of compliments when wearing it.

Beautiful fabric. Great content!

Most enjoyable watch. Thank you for showing us the process with lots of hints & tips along the way. Give me confidence to have a go myself. Thank you & have a happy & healthy 2025 xx
