5 Easy Clothing Sewing Beginner Projects

[@MondesThreads]

Which one of these would you like to make? Let me know in the comments

[@shereakajones2691]

I'd like to make a maxi circle skirts and palazzo (I've always pronounced it puh - lah - zo) pants!

[@katie6731]

I bought a robe in a fabric/pattern from a brand I love, but that doesn't make a few wardrobe staples that I want. My plan was to turn the robe into a skater/above-the-knee circle skirt and a hoodie. However, since I bought a larger size than I wear to have extra fabric for the skirt, I forgot to account for the top being _way_ too big for me. I can't just cut off the bottom of the robe to set aside for the skirt, hem the top section, and add a closure mechanism as planned. I was thinking snaps for the closure, because they're fun, and they aren't as much work as a zipper or buttons. If I were to make the cardigan, I'd need to take the top of the robe apart and re-fit each piece to my body. My sewing level is probably beginner-level. When I was 8-13-ish, I used to help my mom make clothes for me by choosing patterns and fabric, pinning and cutting out the pattern, and running some of the easier seams and hems. I was tiny, so the clothes that fit me from stores were completely inappropriate for my age (this was back in the late 1980's to early 1990's, long before girls' clothes became smaller versions of adult clothes). So, she made a few great pieces that I wore for picture day, choir recitals, and other important events. Mama had a sewing machine that was ancient when it was given to her something like fifty years ago. That's the machine I learned on. It could reliably only do two kinds of stitches. Hubs just bought me a modern sewing machine. It feels like going from a horse and buggy to a spaceship: I could press random buttons and hope for the best, but I'm just as likely to make it go as to inadvertently trigger the self-destruct. 😅 If you're curious about the robe I'm starting with, it's the Unisex Hooded Modal Robe in the pattern Give A Duck (which seems to be gone from the site, but it is rubber-ducky-type ducks on a bright blue background) from the brand MeUndies. I bought an XL/2XL. My actual size is probably two sizes smaller, so there's a significant difference between the robe's dimensions and my body . . . except, I have a larger-than-average bosom for my frame. So, that likely involves adding princess seams, so I'm not swimming in fabric. This project seems like it has a lot in common with a short version of your kimono duster and either the elastic-waisted skirt or the circle skirt (though, I don't know if I have enough fabric for a full circle skirt). I'd *love* to see how you would tackle a project like this. 💙

The Palazzo Pants and the Poncho please!

[@LisaRLloyd]

Same for me, please​@@amythoennes5395

[@dawnray1395]

I'm just starting after about 50 years, I wasn't really good then so imma try

[@e_i_e_i_bro]

I read this as "I'm starting in about 50 years" and I thought to myself that's exactly my procrastination method when it comes to sewing 😅

[@to8484]

Me too. I took a sewing class in college but to many students for individual time... so I'm buying g a machine and my 96 year old grandmother is going to teach me.

[@angelinalozada189]

Me Too.

[@joanc551]

Me too! How did it go??

[@JyotsanaSinha-b3s]

Don't worry it's so easy to learn tailoring

[@JenniOjibwe-f3o]

“As long as it’s good for me, it’s good.” What a great mantra.

[@danasorrells2358]

I live in the PNW and that poncho was SO cute! I'd love to make it for those days that are too warm for a jacket, but too cold to go out in just a blouse.

[@tashawiehe2875]

This is the video Ive been looking for!!! The very first thing is exactly what I’ve been wanting to wear and to realise I can just make it!!?? I have never felt confident worh a sewing machine and never really made anything. I have just acquired 2 antique singer machines and am excited to sew something proper with them!! I haven’t even watched the rest of your video yet I just needed to share this 😅💙

[@AliceNsWonderland]

I went to the thrift store and bought a bunch of flat sheets for 99 cents to practice on! I found a couple really cute cotton Polly blends that I'm going to save until I get better and maybe use for an actual dress or even a circle skirt! LOL!

[@Elea_gacha_stuff]

Practise on paper to see if your good at doing like straight lines

[@Elea_gacha_stuff]

And then do more if you want

[@connielichtenberg8816]

Oh I look forward to getting my sewing machine up and running! Excited about the palazzo pants. ☺️

[@MondesThreads]

Yaaaaaaaaaay

[@HairstylesbyCarol]

Aww 😢I thought you were going to demonstrate how to make the items!❤

[@marialuvsdee10]

5:39 thank you so much for the Hand London as I'm really a beginner, appreciate it

[@shereakajones2691]

Great job sew sis! I've tried to make circle skirts in the past, and they always turned out a bit wonky. The By Hand London tool definitely helps with precision cutting. I think I will give it another go!

[@MondesThreads]

Awesome. Yes definitely try it again. I'll do a video showing how to do one soooooon 😉

[@becka36ful]

I'm 50 years old and I'm starting my Clothing line. So I need to learn how to Sew🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@pollyandrade2125]

Thank you so much for that website that will help me calculate my circle skirt measurements! God bless!❤

[@julsbendandi9374]

I love your videos! I was a beginner for a long time cause I used to be sooooo hard on myself! When I got more into the progress aspect I had more fun and got better fast! Palazzo is palace in Italian and it‘s pronounced pa! La! Zoh! Like you would say it if you were showing guests around your marble palace wearing your Gucci palazzo pants! ❤️

[@MondesThreads]

oOoOO thank you so much. I learned something 🤣🤣🤣. Palazzo even sounds like Palace lol. Yess learning how to sew can be fun when we allow ourselves to make mistakes. ❤️

[@NN-er8wg]

omg I love that you talked about the kimono controversy thanks, I'm Japanese and I love your videos too! also you're pretty:) thanks for the video:) I'm a beginner but I'll never give up until I'll make my dress!!!

[@shimmerofadiamond]

This so though!!! 🔥 Where has this been all my life! 🤣

[@sonjamclellan]

Kimono inspired duster looks great!

[@MondesThreads]

Awesome. It's a super easy project. You'll definitely be Sewing more. I actually need a few more

[@bellum5432]

[@bellamane3346]

Loved this and your page so much! Thank you Queen. I’m new to sewing and happy to be learning

[@JustinTHuffman]

How in the world doesn't this have like a million likes? Can you do easy projects for a guy to make too?

[@MondesThreads]

Lol I guess not as popular. I can definitely do a quick video for quick easy projects for guys

[@JustinTHuffman]

@@MondesThreads That would be awesome! I've got a 36/38" inseam depending on the pants so I've gotten somewhat accustomed to hemming my pants but I'd like to get more adventurous!

[@fnw2691]

Great Video Sewsister! I am currently doing a pajamas pant and a kimono now!!!

[@MondesThreads]

Yaaaaas. Glad you liked the video. I will do another kimono and knit pajama pants

[@juliep1122]

Pol-aht-zo Pants is how I've always heard it said. I'm too clumsy to wear those, my bog feet get caught in the other legs pant leg. I've tripped, face-first more than once so I don't wear them anymore. They're cute tho!

[@TheresaDaigle-v7i]

im interested in the palatoo pants pattern

[@gaynorjackson1244]

When do you do the sewing tutorial

[@pilluche2664]

4:20 As an Italian I'd say "pah-lah-tso" pants ( zz -> think how you'd say pizza) but like "pah-lah-zo" would surely work too

[@SharonBaisden]

Do u have a video of wedding dress designs

[@shellyJaaaay]

Hiii is the elastic waist skirt video still available? I’m trying to find it on your page but I’m not seeing it

[@kohlraedirectioner]

4:25 Palazzo is pronounced almost like you first said, but the double z is pronounced like the double z in pizza

[@Elisa-nc5yc]

You saying it right

[@jinnygreenwood2681]

I'm sure others have answered but... PALATZO is how we pronounce it in the UK, but as it's an Italian word that still could be wrong 😅

[@djtblizzle]

What’s out there for the guys???

[@ayodelefunmilayo6971]

Please how to cut cowneck gown

[@brendaembery6084]

I am starting after 2 years

[@colleenpearman1685]

Omg where is the description box I have no idea lol

[@charlottesmom]

Press “more” under the title of the video then press more in the box that pops up to the right, there is all the info for you. 😃

How to join online tutorial

[@okunrinboyekikelomo6517]

Pls I will like to see tutorials

[@romyvv]

palatso is how you say it!

[@mariemarie528]

Cant the palazzo be done in woven fabric? Why?

[@MondesThreads]

They sure can. The only thing you have to be careful of is the crotch area and how wide they are. Woven fabric is easy to work with but not so forgiving because it doesn't have stretch

[@mariemarie528]

@@MondesThreads won't you do a nice tutorial someday to explain how to measure and do a decent woven pant . I find woven fabric cheaper to work with but not many sewing tutorials on woven fabrics.

[@MondesThreads]

I'll see what I can do

[@dorcasbaidoo8015]

I want tutorials

[@Denise-z2k8p]

Palaza

[@tashawiehe2875]

Oh no! The skirts not there anymore 😥
