This might be the biggest sewing tip of the year 😀

[@Sumogrits]

From one seamstress to another, I'm glad you installed the power mesh and elastic band in such a way as to eliminate bulk. Thanks!!

[@TheAmberDTaylor]

This video makes me want to make 10 pencil skirts in different colors, lengths, and fabrics. I was one of the ones silently wondering what you were wearing underneath. NOW I KNOW! First step, order the mesh. Next, line all the skirts I already have. Thanks for the tips and tricks.🤗

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Amber Taylor-Greenhouse Thank you!!!

[@anitalaff]

You just opened up a whole world of pencil skirts for me!

[@jacquelinerobinson9158]

Your waist idea is so much easier than any pattern instruction that I have seen in the past. Thank You MIMI G.

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Thank you, I like having it neatly finished.

[@loverlyme]

Fabulous result at the end! I know I've already commented but just want to say that you are one of the best sewing tutors I have ever seen on KZbin. In fact, I think you're the best teacher I've come across so far- not just with sewing. Everything is super clear and easy to follow and you don't waste too much time talking nonsense that we just don't need to hear. I can't wait to watch some of your other tutorials.

[@mariarojas9917]

They have a thread for stretch fabrics u put it in the bobbin case call wooly nylon works great u use it on straight stictch

[@SuperCassieC]

I add this stuff to the front of my jeans. Really helps the tummy area.

[@arteisiacalvin6286]

Really! Thanks

[@HiNinqi]

does the closure for the pants have to go on the sides of the pants instead of the front because of the mesh? Do you only wear fallfront jeans with this method?

[@StitchSisters]

This is genius!! Off to buy some power mesh now. I hate spanx too, so this is a game changer. Thanks Mimi x

[@lovehearts3384]

Service Is not an

[@lissa4306]

Perfect for my daughter with MS - this power mesh on high waistbands will eliminate the need to wear her mesh back brace!

[@AZDIAMONDTWIN1]

I have been buying your patterns and LOVE that you also show a step by step on how to put it together with your website. What a great way to promote your styles. I just love it!. Thank for sharing the power mesh fabric for an additional slimming look for skirts and dresses. I have been sewing for way over 30 yrs and still, there is more to learn about how to make your garments better. Happy to be part of your followers. Keep up the great work and keep giving us more styles with your patterns.

[@JudithBrummett]

I am a surgical weight loss patient and almost am crying over this. I am starting to make my work clothes because I cant find ready mades that fit me properly. This rocks my world! TY! SO! MUCH!

[@syltoy2745]

Thank you Mimi G. I never thought of doing that to a skirt or a dress. I wear a girdle and a long line bra most of my life. This is great!

[@ginaconrad613]

I love the things you make and love that you make your own garments! One thing I wish is that you’d show us the article on after completion. 😊

[@bevmcmullen8758]

Mimi you rock xx. Quick question, when using power mesh as a lining for a dress, do you cut the whole “lining” 1/2 inch smaller all round or just from the armholes to the hem? Thank you for sharing your incredible talent 😘

[@kamkami9906]

Thanks for the amazing tips! I'm going to add this to all of my dresses from now on. I love your work! I purchase most of your patterns.

[@rickiadoss2551]

Girl, you are the best! I’m going to put this in all of my fitted clothes. Love you much!

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Rickia Doss Lol! Thanks

[@deep.2082]

Perfect Mimi! Thanks for sharing this! I know so many people have asked about this, now I can hold in some of the "junk in my trunk" thanks again !!!

[@brendajefferson5984]

Very nice tutorial! Years ago, I purchased many yards in various colors from a store close out and it is amazing. I’ve only used it on the back pattern piece to prevent seat out.

[@Redamini]

Thank you. I have been stalking your sewing classes and your blogs WAITING for this video since you announced you would be doing this. Lol

[@MimiGStyleshow]

T C Thank you!!

[@larimarv.7904]

I just found your channel and I'm so happy! Love this tutorial! The lighting, the quality, and most importantly the DIY!

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Thank you so much! I dont get it right every time but we try, lol

[@maykynize]

I really enjoyed this video. I like how you make sure it looks nice and professional. Also I like how you did not go super fast through your tutorial. I am looking forward to learning more from your future videos. :)

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Thank you Tammy

[@mamayake]

I’m wondering, since the mesh is ‘smaller’ in size than the skirt fabric, how come you didn’t get ‘gathers’ when you connected them together?

[@raslalique]

I use this to line all my knit skirts too. I never thought of cutting the power mesh 0.5 inch smaller. Thanks for the tip

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Yes totally works

[@185Diannah]

This is such a great idea. Could the mesh be used as a interchangeable separate support piece without sewing it in for each of my skirts?

[@Heiswithher]

No more wearing my "spanx" tights under everything. I'm going to put elastic only in the mesh and use it kind of like a slip instead of putting it in each individual skirt. I guess I'm explaining it correctly. You are amazing Mimi thanks.

[@sherronwalker3749]

Great tutorial. I would have over lapped the elastic to alleviate that bulk when adjoining the ends of the elastic. Love the idea tho!!!

[@barbarakathleen5870]

I love your videos so much details and easy to follow.

[@misslati1807]

Dear Mimi, for a dress , would you attach it to the shoulders ? (making a second mesh dress underneath ? thanks a lot for your answer

[@kelseyblee57]

Yay! My gray power mesh just came in and I'm excited to try this out! I'm in a love/hate relationship withmy spanx lol

[@Ms.Charlene1102]

Definitely going to look for this, thanks so much

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Thank you for watching!!

[@lilmzchoc]

Thank you! I always have to wear spanx and this is a great alternative.

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Thank you!!

[@jennyb4222]

Darling you were born to teach. Nice job

[@souls6534]

WOW! Brilliant woman. Love you to pieces💕

[@polaris7828-e1h]

Omg!!. I made some body con dresses for me. I am a full figure curvy girl. An i dont like wearing spanxs or other stuff makes me feel comfortable all day just fixing my self all day. This is a big help an simple. Or make it separate an have it for my other dresses. Love it. Thank you girl😊😊😊

[@Cocobrown4u]

Great idea and so easy to follow. Thanks for sharing!

[@janicek6399]

What a clever idea! I own several Spanx, I wonder if I can cut and use it as lining?

[@PPatty13]

Thank you so much for this Mimi! I definitely need this, I was wearing control top pantyhose as my Spanx. 😂

[@MimiGStyleshow]

LOL, I understand the struggle. xx

[@lindacastillo4429]

I’ve learned many things from you! Great teacher!

[@sweetoneloves6811]

OMG...THANK YOU MIMI ! for giving me this Power Mesh video . This will make my hips BEHAVE NOW.... I hate spanxxxxxxxxx . Spanxs makes my body feel like its was in a sausage casing lol. Going to make this with a lot of my outfit I create. thank you again : )

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Thank you! I know the feeling, lol

[@sweetoneloves6811]

: ) : ) lmao

[@BeaunaturelleFeb11]

Mimi i know you zigzagged the mesh and skirt together at the top, but did you use a straightt stich for the casing please? I couldn't see so well in the video. Thank you.

[@barbararegina5198]

Great video. A question: you cut your power mesh smaller than your skirt, but it didn’t look like you were stretching it at all when you were pinning it to the skirt waistband area. Were you in fact stretching it a little and just didn’t mention that?

[@Hide_and_silk]

Bulk order of power mesh on its way haha!

[@angelahart2776]

Yass! I've been waiting on this every since your interview with Meg Scoop

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Angela Hart Yay! Lol

[@jeanbourque6486]

Great idea! Thank you!

[@jamiebjorklund288]

Hey Mimi, I checked out your 30 min pencil skirt video and loved it. I have a question about measuring. In your 30 min video you say to take 2 measurements, the length and your waist. But, the pencil skirt in this video is not just a rectangle. Could you please share with me what you did to make it more fitted like the one in this video. My hips and waist have a 4 inch difference and I would love to make a skirt like the green one in your video. Its probably super simple but I am very new to sewing and cutting patterns.

[@marleneneve1966]

Thank you for this! I thought the mesh would need to be less in width!! One mistake averted! Well demonstrated too!! No waffle. Clear and to the point! 🎉 now… I have lost weight and have baggy upper arms … can I add power mesh sleeves to cotton sleeveless dresses ??

[@jo-anncrippen683]

Fabulous idea!! Keep the great ideas coming!!

[@user-qt6bc4ny3j]

Amazing in the simple explanation and the ability to teach!

[@myraalkins5305]

Thanks Mimi. I'm not a big skirt wearer but this might change my mind.. After seeing this video I have been thinking how I can incorporate the mesh into pants and shorts..If i follow your suggestion and cut the mesh smaller , do you think it would work if the mesh is sewn into the zipper ? or do you think it would pull too much on the zipper.

[@MrsKervang]

Brilliant idea! I'm a new subscriber and I am loving your channel

[@MzKinkyCurl]

Love this!!! This was a sewing gem!!!

[@kaihokumui3335]

Love it!

[@niceleedone]

I'm inspired and will be making this pencil...but...you advised to watch the pencil skirt video first, which I did...(fabric cut is a rectangle)...and I'm noticing that in this compression mesh video the pencil skirt isn't quite a rectangle...the one stitch and the fabric are curved. There seems to be a difference in shape...what was altered? I can only imagine the curve makes the fabric more flattering. Please let me know how to go about achieving this alteration and adjustment. Thank you ;-)

[@Sewing556]

This is a WONDERFUL idea! If you are the first person to come up with this idea, you should patten it, don't know if I spelled ( patten) correctly.. but you know what I mean. Lol.. I have three pencil skirts that i wear to church that I have to wear shape wear underneath. I figure maybe I can sew this mesh on the inside of those skirts?? I will also try out your pencil skirt tutorial.

[@arteisiacalvin6286]

Revolutionary!! Mindblown can you make a video doing this in a fitted top. I cant stand my back rolls lol

[@ShanaJRay]

Omggggg this is ingenious. Changing the game

[@sailorgirl2017]

Instant subscriber, Girl! Thank you for your informative videos which are easy to follow.

[@bevmcmullen8758]

You’re brilliant Mimi. Thank you. Quick question... well two questions really. What type of fabric did you use to make that gorgeous dress you showed us in your video. You looked stunning. You mentioned it was stretchy... was it stretch lame? And what kind if marker did you use to mark the waist edge of your pencil skirt in this video. Many thanks xxx

[@AmaniEats]

You have such honest eyes.

[@justme-fe2sf]

This is a good idea. However it only works in simple projects like this one and preferably where you have fabric hugging your body all around front and back. It gets quite a bit trickier in dresses although it can certainly be done since it can often pull and distort the dress, sometimes the neckline or armholes where the under structure is tighter. And the powermesh can ride up if too tight and you will feel like reaching all the time under the dress and pulling it down. As I said for pencil skirts like this it can work fine but I would stick to spanx for dresses and keep the two separate and moving separately and not attached

[@alluniquefashion6202]

THANK YOU. YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER

[@Maridith2]

Oh..My..Goodness!! Brilliant!! Thank you, Thank you!!

[@susanchandler2756]

Great idea, I love it!

[@Mocacolrdgrl]

Love this idea, because although I love spanx, I don't always want to wear them. I'm trying this out along with the 30min pencil skirt this week. Can ankara fabric be used for the pencil skirt, or is it not stretchy enough?

[@MimiGStyleshow]

Mocacolrdgrl no you will need knot stretch fabric. 😊

[@mayrarosario4002]

wow......that looks easy to do. Now I need to get a sewing machine. I look at you videos and I hope I had one. I'll get one soon. so thanks for that push I enjoy your videos

[@LollipopCouture]

Thank you for the Tutorial always wondered if you wore spanks. Trying to get back to sewing I'm probably going to sew your pencil skirt!

[@cutiedoggy475]

Do you add the mesh after you make the garment or while making it?

[@nappyscribe1987]

Good idea Mimi. I think I’m your biggest fan now!

[@leelee7427]

Really good tips. Thank you.

[@dee6913]

Awesome!! You a very talented teacher! Tfs

[@cougarintexas]

Love it!!! Making it!

[@foreverreeseluxe3806]

Mimi, I love this idea so much because the regular slips are so clingy & the make me sweat. How would you do this for a sundress that is thin layered?

[@janettechapple1782]

All the best ideas are simple. Thankyou.

[@alfredchipembele8591]

Well done Mimi, you’re my Angel sent 😆

[@laurawilson6092]

You are brillant! Love this tip and I just subscribed, I can tell you are worth watching!

[@charirichards1]

Hey Mimi can you tell me what marking tool you used in this video? I have been looking for a really good marking tool. I like the tools you use in your videos and would like to invest in some good marking tools. Thank you in advance.

[@SaltandPepper8010]

czeelee me too! I’d love to know!

[@tammydeplata2526]

whoa....mind blown...LOVE IT!

[@mrshendry08]

Thank you so much for this video!!! I am wondering if the process is essentially the same of I wanted to use power mesh for pants....hmmm. Any tips for successfully doing this for pants?? Greatly appreciated!!!

[@Tina06019]

Nice. I don’t wear pencil skirts (no room for pockets), but this is a very good technique.

[@JudithBrummett]

can you do this with slacks? maybe to the mid thigh or knee?

[@loverlyme]

Thank you so much for this tip. I'm in the midst of developing a new type of bra and was trying to think of what fabric to use that would have some stretch but also hold its shape really well. Can I just ask one itty bitty sewing question though? I noticed that you didn't iron the seam on the skirt open and flat before joining the power mesh. Is that usual for a stretch fabric (I, obviously, haven't sewn much with knitted fabric before)?

[@begevt]

What if I want my power mesh to be a little bit more powerful?lol Can i take it in 1, 2, maybe even 3 inches smaller than my waist? Does this work with nonstretch fsbrics as well?

[@gkimweli7233]

wow best hack ever....u r a great teacher

[@brandianisee]

Hi Mimi, great video! What would you say is the best compression fabric?

[@TRUFOX29]

You are a genius! 😍 New subbie !!

[@lizzielizardlipz]

You're the first person I've ever seen who has the same pinkie as me! Well only one of mine are like that. I pulled many "you broke my pinkie" pranks as a kid. Hehe

[@MimiGStyleshow]

LOL!! My son has them too

[@ruffyg5394]

Awessooooooooooo! Thank you, thank you! You've changed my life

[@Tuamotu]

This was awesome!!! I have to go get some power mesh tomorrow.

[@MimiGStyleshow]

LOL, thank you
