Great step by step. I am a beginner and I actually understand this.

[@BankruptMonkey]

This is perfect! I love the functions of shorts and skirts, but it's almost impossible to find premade skorts in stores. I'm adapting this design to convert skirts I already have into skorts.

[@evelynwald9132]

Super cute

[@jennijenn.22]

Is there a more beginner level version of this?

[@ladyforeverwishng]

This is PERFECT for my daughter for tennis!!! I'm glad I found your channel! You're so clear and precise! I bought some simple spandex from Joann's and it was a devil to sew! It was slippery, my machine hated it. I used a zig zag and stretch thread! Please continue to make videos!!! How about spandex/knot sewing basics, best stitches, sports wear!

[@joanbondar]

Just a suggestion: I put tissue paper between the fabric & the machine feed dogs. It helps with sewing both stretchy fabric & slippery, especially if you don't have a walking foot. The paper tears away easily without wrecking your stitches.

[@cindywright2643]

How does it work without elastic in the waistband? My waist is larger than hips.

[@coffee1855]

고마워

[@faithkalyam2731]

Nice lesson.please explain how I can make the same but the skirt is straight and long with slide slits using non stretching material .Thank you

[@savannahdragons3282]

So... you're asking how to make a completely different skirt?

[@kymclinton3140]

Do the shorts as the lady explained and trace an existing skirt of the design you require but leaving bottom side seam splits although a straight skirt in non stretch might not sit as well as the circle skirt I've done similar in the past i.e straight skirt but was not as happy with the results a lot of sewing is trial and error I've even in the past brought cheap stretchy material or duvet cover s even jersey bedding to do a trial make and these end up as first a template to make a paper pattern I normally make the paper pattern from a roll of wallpaper lining paper or brown paper usually used for wrapping parcels and store all my patterns in the see through file covers then store in a large file noting down measurements material I used these trial garments end up as either night wear or clothes for around the home during the day in fact the pj short/skort I'm wearing plus a t shirt I made was from a jersey bedding set that was below half price as there was a few stains on the set I washed it all the stains .came out the pillow cases I use on my bed as I use four pillows and the fitted sheet acts as undersheet on my bed and the set was reduced from £24:99 down to £5:99 at night and the duvet was a double size there's enough to make a matching kimono dressing gown and a short cardi to go with the short/skirt t shirt set it is a peachy colour background with blue and yellow flowers on it I live in the UK and we have B&m and Wilko and even some of the supermarket s have cheaper bedding before you commit to more serious sometimes expensive materials in fact I've just nipped to my corner shop in this out fit I'll be wearing in bed later and been complemented on it and I did not say it was my PJs but I had made it from a jersey bedding set

[@spartum1337]

Im not a sub. Im watching this.

[@SophisticatedTeacher]

I am glad you decided to watch. These are very easy to make.

[@kana3693]

i have a question, did u use a specific needle to sew stretch fabric?

[@SophisticatedTeacher]

On there it may have been a basic needle but now I use stretch fabric needles in the smaller sizes.

[@kymclinton3140]

I use stretch needles which I buy in my local haberdashery and I've even brought them in my local Barbados charity shop uk I was surprised to find a section in there that does a stand with threads machine needles and other sewing accessories as I love a good rummage in there and I've even found brand new material in there that's been donated now the main lady who runs the shop calls me if they've had a donation of material so I can have first pick and I've even had brand new curtains from there

[@christinegray2100]

Love it!!!!!!!! And you showed a very simple way of making 👍❤️ Thank you for the tutorial

[@tracyborland5471]

This helps me so much, so simple and doable it makes total sense. Thank you!!

[@rnbsteenstar]

Awesome! It also looks so simple to make.

[@SophisticatedTeacher]

It is one of my easiest creations to date.

[@robynlynchmclain8763]

Thanks, super cute and easy

[@kymclinton3140]

So clear and concise and the amount of material you put as yards and such beautiful material too and to anyone not understanding the sizing this lady cut around a pair of jeans that already fit her I do this a lot draw round a pre brought garment and very often add my own interpretation of what I want and as this was a stretchy material easy enough to make waist adjustment before sewing the garments together even a novice sewer should understand I've just made several pull on dresses out of jersey and all I need to do was sew two side seams ,shoulder seams no paper pattern just used a dress I already have and I made matching shorts for underneath the dress es by tracing round a pair of cycling shorts I already had I wore one of the complete outfits today to meet a friend and my fifteen minute walk into town took longer as so many on my walk stopped to ask where I'd brought the out fit and as it was a bit breezy the shorts were exposed a few times

[@robinmazariegos1]

Love it!!!

[@mikecoxlong5497]

This was so unclear, I have no idea what to do

[@SophisticatedTeacher]

Please tell me where you got lost because nothing in the video should be confusing.
