ᴸᴼᵛᴱ ❤ Thank you for sharing!!

Louise I thank you with appreciation & gratitude for such detailed step by step instructions. I was loosing hope spent last 2 weeks viewing other videos. I have unpacked my stored curtains, will un pick all the seams with your tutorials, guidance, inspiration I will start my project in the coming weeks. I will however be using the gromet tape instead of the other headers . Any tips on this please. With gratitude🙏🥰 Reena Melbourne Australia

I'm just starting trying to learn different one stroke techniques and this is one of my favorites. Thanks for clarifying what brushes you are using! That's been a challenge trying to figure that out too! Pretty!

Thank for your tutorial ..What size did you cut the lining ?

My balls are turning out flat on one side. I've tried angeling the twist upwards. I've tried positioning the base of the twist over a little indent in my charcoal block and melting. None of these methods seem to be improving the shape. Any tips?? Thanks!

I usually base stitch before sewing. Of course ironing is very important.

This is so very interesting and important.

22:28 Hi! I am a newbie. I have watched this video 5 or 6 times and I still can’t quite understand what happens to the bit of extra material in the lining when you pin both sides all the way down and the lining is slightly more narrow than the fabric. I know it must be something to do with those center pins but I am SO confused. Some one help me please!

I mistakenly bought bonded lining and find it extremely heavy what on earth are they useful for

I have a question, if my curtain pole is 385cms long and my curtain fabric is 150 cms wide in order to make 2 curtains will I need 5.6 fabric widths per curtain or will 3 suffice it just seems an awful lot but I want curtains that are quite full when hung up

You need to know how much time it takes. I am very experienced and not matter what I can not shorten a vented suit jacket for less than 90 minutes. Removing buttons, sometimes fake button holes, pick apart original hem, cut, turn up, make mitered corner, then sew buttons back on, hand sew lining back, pressing as you go along and at the end.

Loved this video. Even though I’ve been sewing since I was a child in school I still love to learn from watching others. I have definitely learned a few great tips by watching your video. Thx for sharing and keep ‘em coming! Lisa from CT., USA

Even with the clear explanation, this seems too complicated for my completely beginner level! But thank you

Not sure if you are on KZbin anymore but I have just come over to both of your videos about sewing alterations as a business. This has to be the most helpful video I have come across. I had no idea they had systems to record bookings and manage payments etc (Geelus). This has been a game-changer. I was wondering how I was going to keep track of clients' orders. Not a problem now. I loved how the video was straight to the point. Thanks a lot

This is such a great video!

Looked,but didn’t find bottom to subscribe.

Your voice sounds so honest and I also find it soothing to my ear. Now, I also want to ask you, how can I make myself known? I worked 35 years for the State of Texas. When I retired in 2006, I did it because I don't knew that I was being looked at. I was coming in late, about one hour late because I just couldn't jump out of bed and get my motor going. I had trouble sleeping, my sleeping hours were anywhere from 2:00-3:00 am to 7:00 am. I knew there was something wrong with me but my doctor could not figure it out or maybe just wasn't listening to my complaints. Finally in December 2006, my doctor's practitioner referred me to a rheumatologist. I wanted to cry when I heard him diagnose me with fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. He said how have you been working feeling this much pain. I said, I'm retired and that's the main reason I had to retire. He asked so you are receiving disability retirement. I said no, I am getting regular retirement income. All because my doctor didn't listen or do anything every time I went to see him, which was almost every 2 weeks. Anyways, we are in a fixed income and behind on mortgage and vehicle loans. I have been sewing but there is so much competition that it's been impossible for me to make myself known. One thing about me, I is that I'm too shy. I have been sewing for the community where I live but people don't want to pay for the work I do for them. They think I charge too much and they go on to look for someone else. The thing is that I think that I am one of those people that charges less than anyone else around me. For a regular hem, my charge is $7.00; for hem on jeans is $10 or $15 if customer asks for the "original store-bought hem". Hem on a dress is $10; alterations are no more than & 30; except on shortening and hemming curtains is $20. But, work is so slow and I don't know a lot of people where I live. How can I expand my alterations business as far as clientele?

Thank you! Wonderful tutorial. I love canal art and it will be wonderful to have a go at painting it myself!

A treasure trove of tips for an absolute beginner like myself, greatly appreciated , thank you!

Beautifully explained. 👍

excellent technique!!! I plan to master this!!Thank you so much louise.. I wish you to be my neighor, I'm sure we'dget along splendidly, My father always told me if there waas an easy way or a hard way, I'd chose the 'hard way' everytime! I can't wait too explorre more of your tutorials.

Thank you for this brilliant tutorial

Yes thank you z finally was able to figure out how to get access to all files 🎉🎉🎉

Brilliant tutorial Thankyou. As I'm a novice sewer. Can you suggest a way of ironing on a satin type fabric for the clean edge please? I'm about to embark a massive task of making two sets of curtains which are nearly 13ft long. One will have eyelet headers and will be lined. The other unlined as dress curtains. I'm hesitant to even cut the fabric let alone sew. I know I must be MAD but cannot afford for anyone else to make them for me. I don't have a huge table either so it'll be a nightmare. Any tips at all will be appreciated. Thank you so much.

I couldn't understand the process altogether well, but I found this video helpful nonetheless. Perhaps more experience would serve me right.

Just seeing Canal boat art for the first time! I love it and I really appreciate the way you explain. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

Can you convert to inches?

Thank you, I’ve picked up some excellent tips.

Thanks for very good explaining-hints and tips so grate❤❤❤

Thankyou very helpful indeed.

good morning!Great video! I have a plaid tree I am trying to separate the 2 colors (similar to yours in this video) and I am not sure how to get them to separate to print. If you could give me some pointers that would be great! Thank you :)

A really helpful video. Feel far more confident now!

You are the best I really enjoy your work keep the good work up 😃

Are these durable? Or the nail polish flim break easily?

Very useful. Thank you.

Thank you. Very sweet!

Hi Louise. I tried your roses. I published my attempt. It was fun. 😂

Sorry..wrong paint. wrong brushes..and all the roses are the same ..You do show some proper ones though..

Absolutely stunning and what a tutorial thank you

That's fascinating and beautiful. Mine would be very interesting with my shaky hands. 🤔🙈

😮 wow. Lovely. I want to make one.

I learn by laughter and your sense of humor is perfect. It allows me believe that I can do it. 😊 Thank you.

Great job!! I love it. Thank you. 🥰

Hi Louise, I started my sewing business 6yrs ago and have been sewing all my life, my name is out there now and has gone from strength to strength, the only thing I struggle with is the pricing, but after watching your video I think I need to put my prices up, I think people will always pay as clothes mean alot to people and are so grateful when their clothes fit perfectly after I,v altered them,. Wishing you all the best.

I just bought this trailer on ebay and took my new retriever puppy out yesterday he fell asleep almost straight away. The quality is good but it is very heavy not so good for hills.

What iron brand are you using please?

This was a wonderful video. THANK YOU for using a well defined contrasting fabric and thank you for taking the time to show us.

Does the herringbone stitch hold up to dry cleaning?
