[@nagadoogardening6035]

Not even planning on sewing anything, and I watched the entire tutorial with ads because your teaching is so clear. Pleasure to watch!

[@aHIGHasian]

Same. Don’t even know why this is in my recommended but watched the whole thing. Great work Glory Allan

[@GloryAllan]

Thank you ☺️🥹

[@UKLeonie]

Listen same, " frigging cutie, lets goooo", no interest before now I'm a subbie 🤔🙄😜🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@PaisaSnake]

Same

[@SimonSozzi7258]

I freaking subscribed 🤣👏🏼👍

[@mkay__89]

I have never seen a tutorial giving out so detailed and helpful information in any subject ever. This is how tutorials should be 👏👏

[@funkypigeondotcom7917]

Couldbt agree more, im from englanf so i might do my epq on it xxx

[@maria-martina]

this is soooo good, thank you for taking the time to explain all the preparation at the begging and the accessory recommendations!!

[@shanstocken1135]

You are bringing back my love of sewing with every pattern! Thank you

[@ljmill]

Yesterday, I ordered the DIY kits for shirt, hoodie, and shorts and a Brother sewing machine. I wouldn't have taken the leap without videos/products like this to help me get started. Thank you.

[@jB..33b854]

How did you go?

[@ljmill]

@@jB..33b854 I've only had time to make the box tee so far and it went great! I ordered a sewing machine that came with a walking foot (ST150HDH). I found that, while the machine is absolutely superb, the walking foot caused the kit's fabric to get caught up in the plate. So, I removed the walking foot and had zero issues what so ever. I definitely recommend the DIY kit and the ST150HDH for that matter.

[@poephila]

Thanks for sharing your experience! i wasn’t sure how helpful a walking foot would be because I don’t have so many issues without one haha!

[@bonbonmonel9571]

Thank you very much. This is one of the best tutorials I have seen. You are so clear in explanation and the video is excellent with the close up shots and all.

[@kamikaliente]

This video is just simply wonderful. I found my self being excited whenever you ironed the seams and sealed them perfectly! Bravo 👏🏽

[@CNMTCFilms]

I always sewed front and back together, sewed the sleeves and then attached them. Gotta try it the way you did it - seems way easier 🔥

[@henrykempiv]

Just got my sewing machine last Friday and gonna take a beginners class Friday before I order a kit! Excited to try this!

[@Fastskull]

Hey man, just wanted to say that this video is pretty helpful for me, someone who has about a year of classical training with sewing, even now for creating a tee shirt pattern. The quality of these videos is insane and much appreciated. I hope you blow up like you deserve to!

[@lisawood-bradley8250]

Oh I am so pleased that this popped up in my feed today - this was an incredibly useful tutorial and I will be watching more. Thank you!

[@brendadouglas9833]

I have been sewing a long time, and I learned so much. Never thought of sewing the whole t-shirt with a twin needle. Very cool and saves time for sure.

[@zmilk]

It’s very generous of you to do this tutorial and make it free. I Appreciate it :)

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Wow! That was an amazing tutorial! You had so much wonderful information and everything was so clearly presented! Also, love your B roll! Keep up the great work!

[@AVE_YAMA]

This has been the best sewing tutorial I've ever seen! Thank you so much!

[@beach8811]

omg, I've been waiting for this tutorial from you for almost a month!!! Thank you so much for your work, you are simply the best!!! You explain very well, and you have a very cool speech and voice. I sincerely wish you a large audience, you deserve it!!!💕👍

[@jpeood32]

I just bought my kit and excited to get on with it! great video and obviously inspired this old man to try something new

[@lizhayward9319]

I freaking love this video! The instructions are so clear. And it is so refreshing to have a sewing tutorial by a guy for a change I’m so glad I stumbled across this video! Gonna go sew me a T-shirt !

[@mahekbhaldar5517]

Really, we need more teachers like you!! Your teaching is so precise and clear! You're my guru!

[@Arquentez]

You just put me on and I learn so much. I’m a beginner at sewing so this was very helpful.🙏🏾

[@jomomma7616]

Saw a clip of yours and decided to stop saying I want hand made clothing and finally do something about it. Thanks for making something that seems so big and confusing clear and approachable

[@theodorawinter7361]

I bought the kit awhile ago and finally got around to making the tshirt. The collar was def the most difficult part but I’m super happy with the results. Thank you for this! I can’t wait to make another one

[@topssewing3784]

I love that you are inspiring a new wave of sewers. Can you make your patterns projector 📽 friendly? I’ve been sewing 23 years and all tho I make my own patterns as well I love the simplicity of yours. Keep it going 💕

[@anaismontoya7]

this is refreshing I've been having a sewing block bc my last project I had to scrap it 😅 this is giving me motivation to try again with a different fabric

[@bosvigos9165]

What a fab video. I am an old stitcher who has not been sewing for years. I have learned so much from you today, I now want to get at again. I can only imagine how many you will inspire to take up sewing. Excellent tutorial! ☘️💚☘️

[@soopadook995]

Your explanation of the ballpoint needle thing was very informative, I didn't know that. Thanks!

[@LucySBeauty]

I’m impressed how well thought out is the set. And together with this tutorial I think anyone can make a T-shirt, even me ;)

[@romdiggity]

Bro you have no idea how much I just learned within the first 7 minutes in terms of materials and equipment needed. Keep up these fire vids!

[@lilmissmella5605]

As someone who has been sewing for years this is the clearest Tutorial I have ever seen

[@sallymeister4989]

Wow, I have been sewing for years….you are a great teacher, give good information on technique, and you have good habits. You are talented!

[@n1ght995]

absolute legend! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge for free!These days nothing is free. BIG LOVE

[@cesareduardoglzf]

I went to fashion school but still watched this whole video haha learned a few helpful things 💕

[@jeancartoon]

I don't have a sewing machine... but I really appreciate your attention to detail as well as the way you explain everything needed to make this tee... I'll go ahead and sew it by hand... I hope for the best lol

[@kristijay3524]

Great video In the first 3 minutes I learned a great trick with the tissue paper, I wish I knew that sooner 😩 So many tips in this video Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼

[@thesewclubpatterns]

I love your channel so much, I hope to be able to edit like you one day - you have such rad editing skills and style!! Thanks for being an inspiration :)

[@sheilahughes5303]

Tip: The wonder clips are made to be used with the clear part (the straight part) against the sewing machine bed, with the colored part (the curved part) facing up. If used in that position, they move more freely as you're sewing. Great tutorial! Thanks!

[@michelbrandy261]

omg this is what i am looking for..the design of the shirt is so perfect for me.

[@genocidejenesis1293]

Genuinely one of the most informative videos I’ve ever laid eyes on! Thank you so much!

[@catrellwashington3295]

Was trying to find a video for tech packs but this is exactly what I needed for the last few specific details! Hella good 🙏🏾

[@cassgero7530]

Weirdly enough I haven't been able to find a simple explanation of when to use cotton or polyester threads. So for this video even just that information laid out was worth the watch. Most articles ive found go into the mechanics of each thread type and is quite confusing for a beginner who really just wants to know a basic rule of thumb to follow. I know it's a small thing to get hung up on but when you want to do things right it happens. So thank you for this video and the others of yours I've come across while learning!

[@herebefrogs]

I just love all the advice, do's and don'ts and why that's so. A treasure trove of experience distilled clearly and concisely!

[@teresabrixey6019]

Love your videos. You are a wonderful sewist. Thank you for sharing your time and talent. Just a thought quilters use a small scrap of fabric at the start of the seam to help stop the machine from eating your fabric. Also you may find that marking your neckline and ribbing in fourths instead of thirds is easier. Match shoulder seams together and put a pin in each fold gives you fourths with no measuring.

[@jusuiselisabeth]

Wonderful Teacher! Been sewing for long time. But learning so much. Your video's are a Find!!!

[@n0one555]

Hey man, just received the complete DIY kit all the way to the Netherlands. Looking forward to try it out! I just wanted to tell that your passion shows even in the packaging, there's a clear attention to detail and it feels overall very premium. Great work!

[@GloryAllan]

Thank you for this comment, really made my day. Good luck with the DIY Kit 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@fromcesarwithlove]

Thanks for the information, liked and subscribed! I love how serious and professional you are in the vid. Boss!

[@beardedelephant3023]

Now I really want to start sewing. Been contemplating cut and sew for a long time

[@KdramaElla]

I know getting the materials required is gonna be very difficult here in my country and I still watched to the very end. It was that goooood

[@jonathanevans2069]

Amazing Bruh dont know why it took me so long to find a page like yours, keep doing what your doing

[@lauraafrouzian2959]

[@donatussamuel8487]

Your Teaching was so calming and understanding 😌

[@masonics2927]

This video was extremely beneficial. Gonna be purchasing the kit as well 🔥

[@bonginkosikings6039]

I've been putting off making my own clothing for forever but now I think I'll be able to handle it thanks man.

[@pegasusquilts]

Brilliantly detailed and clear video. Just be aware if you are not using the kit but other fabric and pattern, prewash the fabric the way you plan to handle the finished shirt. Don't avoid shrinkage at the beginning if you are going to treat the finished shirt in a way that will shrink it, or your shirt may be too tight.

[@ashboss727]

PLEASE POST MORE. I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS AND ADVICE.

[@stupidnb7]

from this video i can see the quality of yours, so clean and passionate

[@taihaile]

Just purchased my kit - Beyond excited!

[@jgrutza]

I am another one with almost no interest in sewing, but this is one of the best video tutorials of any type that I've seen anywhere. It almost makes me want to try it. I really hope that you continue to teach.

[@GloryAllan]

I’ve been looking for a complete starter kit to no avail. Definitely getting yours! Thanks for the content and knowledge transferral.

[@brendaweaver6326]

You are an awesome sewist Clear and concise!

[@archi2509]

[@FirstnameLastname-gs5xt]

Fire info, so much nuance to working with knits.

[@pavlal.4552]

This video was packed with info, thank you so much.😃

[@Cecibug1]

I suggest washing the fabric the same way you wash the rest of your laundry so in the case you didn't realize something was in the load you don't have to worry about shrinking something on accident 💕

[@stephk5223]

amazing video ! thank you for all the information, so helpful

[@jasonlang8703]

What a great video! The kits are such a great idea! I’m gunna get the tote shorts and tee!

[@GloryAllan]

[@tw4025]

This tutorial is nuts!! Thanks dude

[@martinpallmann]

Hey, just a shout out: thank you so much for this tutorial. I followed along and made my first T-shirt. I f*d it up a bit though and added the collar on the wrong side of the shirt. D'uh. But I will do better next time. It was great fun and easier to do than I thought. Thank you again.

[@GloryAllan]

Exact same thing happened to me xD Been there. All good, the next one will be better. Glad my video could help, all the best! 🤓

[@dianedean521]

You do a great job teaching. My only suggestion is to show the finished garment both at the beginning and again at the end and take your time showing the interior as well. Thanks

[@kyleearmstrong8930]

I love that I stumbled across your channel! Your a wonderful teacher and I really would love to try out this pattern. Am I able to print the pattern out at home on a standard printer or have to go into a printing store? Thanks so much for sharing your skills

[@igorgois728]

Best tutorials ever!

[@OnlymeMOK]

Your video’s are so informative thanks

[@sh1joco]

Love your tutorials

[@jjjjjjj111]

you made sewing a tshirt look so easy... i tried to freestyle a tshirt and it did not go according to plan at all....but, i will not give up!

[@1stMikeWhite]

I have 4 rolls of my favorite fabric and a custom T-Shirt pattern that I created. I've been trying to create T-Shirts for years now, but things have been getting in the way and now I don't even have money anymore for it. I don't know how to personally sew but I've designed things the best I could and have had many many samples made.

[@adamjohnson5307]

Never even realized I needed ironing tips and I’ve actually been sewing for a little bit lol

[@SniffanyBlues]

The kit is genius 👏

[@dpcaw]

Super helpful and detailed tutorial!:)
