My biggest question about a full slip is how do you get into it! That more fitted waist would seem to make slipping it on over ones shoulders and bust hard enough, but taking it off would seem impossible. Help, please.

Aprons rule!!!! I have several, including the indestructible Starbucks apron inherited from my son as a result of his college Starbucks job. I am, however, looking for a front wrap version to make for a friend based on the Mrs. Hall apron in All Creatures Great and Small.

How do we get the pieces you are holding up in the video? I don't see a download for the tape measure or the round item.

You’re sooo funny!!😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣

Currently making a dress of my niece. My first ever attempt at one. Up to now, I've only done circle skirts. Now I'm making a double circle skirt and big butterfly sleeves for the dress. Its far from perfect but she'll grow out if it so fast, perfection isn't necessary.

Sorry I pressed enter too soon - I also love your delivery Maggie

Hi I am from the UK and I am happy to have found my tribe

A page from Faux News: “ some people say it’s a scam” - nicely done

Is that a love bite under your neck?

I didn't understand at all

thank u for this, ive been watching plenty of pattern drafting videos and was wondering why is it so complicated and super technical, i thought it was abit unnecessary the level of depth a pattern has to reach in order to be able to sew anything, specially when it doesnt feel traditional and im sure people in the past didnt have to do it this way and they were fine . i didnt wanna be lazy and skip the step, but after reading some comments, i still wont ditch it but i wont stress over it and will learn from it what feels necessary and keep adjusting to figure it out and thats it. thank u🙏🏻

Loved this video and subscribed; and was disappointed to see your last post was 10 months ago. Hope you're doing well and will continue making more soon :)

The vintage patterns from Vogue are "borrowed" from a vintage pattern collector. They are NOT patterns which Vogue has developed from a photo or sketch.

So, hopefully you have a video on how to do this ? Ooh you did.. But coulda NEWBY DO THIS ?

We've all made all the mistakes! Thank you for being humble enough to share yours ❤ Also your humour actually made me chuckle so thanks for that 😂

Where can you buy the French tools you used please? thank you for your videos

New subscriber here

There’s no way I could have made my pattern pieces without this video ❤ sorry if I missed it I also tried looking in the paper directions but what do you do with the wedge you cut out on the back pattern piece? Is it a dart your ment to sew or do you tape it together on the paper piece? Thanks for your help

You’re funny! ‘When she hit jr high..’ lol. The same thing happened to me when I tried to make a dress for my daughter. Pattern size said 6-9 months, but didn’t fit until she was 2 yo!

Your videos are so fun!

Love your channel ❤

My reissued vintages are lumpy out of the envelope, I have a dress form and trim the hell out of the pattern,I'm a 1940's style body shape in an eased up pattern world.Love your content ❤❤❤

Simplicity! Taking over sewing in a bad way - should we send them a Haslam System book to restart proper sweing ??????

I think I am a dum dum because I am still lost :(

Thank you. I went to school for commercial sewing but I know I never learned this💁🏽‍♀️🌼🌼🌼

Too complicated

Yes!!!❤❤❤

👋👩‍🦳👍🇦🇺. ❤ Thank you so much for sharing with us all ❤❤❤

❤️❤️❤️

I love this video. I do have melons. I started sewing recently, and although I'm very happy with my skirts and pants, every blouse I've done is wrong in one way or another, and that is so frustrating, I was ready to give up on blouses. I will try this method for sure. Thanks!

Omg! I can relate to the two dresses sooo much. I always have to pick a bra that fits with the dress so it is at least less obvious. Also doesn’t help that I have a hip size way too big as well. For A-line clothes I can size down. Now I’ve been measuring and realised my upper bust difference compared to full bust is 4-5 inches if I measure loosely. I was just blown away when I realised it’s not my body that’s the problem! It’s the commercial clothes that aren’t made for me. I have been working on trying to make a sloper with my measurements but I should probably make a fba to it as well!

I got lost as soon as you started on the pattern. I'm out.

Slippery fabric...gives me headaches! If it is slippery I baste everything...I find that it is either baste or rip and I prefer basting.

Very Nice !!!

Just landed on this video, I love you and your spirit, you speak to my internal freespiritedsewist😅.

I really want to learn how to draft my own patterns. You should create a book to accompany your tutorials! Also, I love your pink cutting mat. Where could I purchase one like it? It would match my sewing room decor perfectly! Thanks for sharing.❤️

this sounds like a home made version of the lutterloh system

I've also run into the preschooler huge size problems with my granddaughter who lives thousands of miles away. It's taken about 16 months for her to grow into the outfits, even though I used her measurements against the pattern measurements.

Lets go back to cave men & women days where there were no sewing patterns ruling our brains , lets jus go back to wearing what they wore , boy that would be sew refreshing , wouldnt it ? 😂

I don’t understand that guide you used. Is that something you have to use with a pattern or do you make your own patter? I am always making adjustments when I sew-been a few years since I last did a project-but love to learn more

there are quite a few of these types of systems the most famous is the lutterloh from Germany.

Being realstic patterns are made to fit white women who have more sloped shoulders, less rounded hips, less bust than black women, so we cannot buy them and just cut as I see some women doing.

I learned to sew without patterns from a lady from El Salvador who didn't speak English. I am so grateful for her teaching me. Patterns are a lot of work to make fit.

You have such a nice manner. I really enjoy your teaching style.

I've lost just over 11 stone in the last 10 months, I really need new clothes (more of them) so I will be making my own patterns.

I’m currently switching from using patterns to pattern drafting because most didn’t fit my wife’s “blessed” figure (50 bust 43 waist 46 hips)

My grandma sewed by eye or drafted on literally anything. Rarely bough a pattern. usually a Vogue. But modern patterns are all the same. Get the pattermaking for fashion design 4th edition on is ideal and draft away. Make a block and go. If flat patterning is your jam, it all u will need. You can look at a garments style lines and copy it.

I am reteaching myself to sew. This is the info I wanted. I was drafting payterns for some simple bags, rolls and clutches last night and havimg fun with simple ideas and wishing I could do the same for clothing. Thank you!!

I actually have the original system. I’d have to dig it out, but I’m sure it comes with a booklet on how to use it. I’ll have to build up the gumption to try it out.
