Here for you 🫶🫶🫶

[@PaperWolfe]

I love your creativity in shot choices and the way you demonstrate the different fabrics. It makes the video pop that much more!

[@GloryAllan]

Thanks PaperWolfe, glad you appreciate the effort I put into the visuals 🙏🏻🤓

[@hansen-house]

Aside from your skill as a designer and craftsperson, you are a GREAT educator. I am immensely grateful for the way you break things down like using lengths of cord to demonstrate textile weaves. Thank you again!

[@mrmivisuals]

ooooweee the boy cooked in this one with the production levels, love it!

[@Lanza2401]

I found you because of the answer in progress video about pockets. I am so impressed by how cinematic and informative your videos are, I can’t wait to start my sawing journey!!

[@aiyanamcdonald]

I've always wanted to learn to sew my own clothes. So grateful that you make these clean, simple, and fun videos to make learning easier, helps a lot for gaining confidence when approaching something I know very little about. A huge plus is how everything is shot, every video looks great! Just got my sewing machine and im excited to learn

[@cameronadams8533]

The BEST and most informative sewing video I’ve ever seen and dare I say on the World Wide Web

[@yoimmoon]

Please continue to put out these amazing videos. I have realized that there are not many people putting out high quality and informative sewing videos for men. Keep it up!

[@Paul-ru3cj]

[@GloryAllan]

Good luck sewing 🤓🤓

[@Engineezy]

The crosswise grain rope-flick technique is on point 👌

[@blueberry_lemon]

I learned a lot about fabric from this video! I love the filming/editing style, it's very creative and you executed it great!

[@kenkenwelch]

Best description I’ve seen yet of grainline.

[@Blanca7C]

I appreciate your creativity with your videos! The little details don't go unnoticed! & not to mention, super informative for me as a beginner sewist!

[@mandy7296]

through you I FINALLY understand what they meant by grainline. I am a beginner and am familiar with most terms, but this was never as well explained as in this video. thanks a lot (bonus: it's all insanely well shot)

[@alecialennox2971]

You are the goat!

[@Marie-fp6jl]

Any tips on fabric substitutions? I like to thrift my fabrics and use up my stash before buying new stuff. Are there any general rules on what can be subbed for what?

[@GloryAllan]

Try to stick with the same fabric type (ie wovens sub for wovens; same for knits). Also try to match in weight, so your prototype will sit the same as the final. I'll try to think of some more tips but those are the first that come to mind.

[@julianasegura309]

Patiently waiting for episode 5

[@someperson8670]

Love the videos, they are incredibly helpful for starting out! Question for around 3:40 ish, I have an old sewing machine which is mostly out of metal - it seems to me that the only weak point would be the needle for when sewing multiple layers of denim/canvas... is that correct or amy I forgetting something? (The machine is an old bernina record 730) Edit for clarification: I'm asking in regards to the comments about stressing the machine

[@diginic117]

Here from AIP and I def love it

[@samharry7474]

[@GD-mw1kd]

I have to wait before I watch this video for KZbin to introduce ai feature to mute background track 😒

[@real.ilya_remov]

Is it just me or is the background music far too loud? It's a bit difficult to hear you...

[@richardjecooke8036]

Please turn down your music. It's hard to hear your quiet voice over it

[@AB.926]

Dude in this day and age why are you promoting polyester!

[@TwistedRootsVanVelzerPress]

truth - but I'll pick up bits of free clothing to practice on - so it is good just to learn the machine :) then toss LOL

[@Villa_0l]

Whats wrong with it?

[@AB.926]

@ it’s called google. Ask there!
