I keep a notepad to write down my pattern pieces. I’ll put a big “A” at the top, then list and number my pieces for view A. Then tuck that in with the envelope when I’m done. Writing directly on the instructions gets confusing when you want to go back and do a new look. Carefully folding and ironing the pattern pieces will get them all back into the envelope. Then store all the envelopes in a plastic sealed bin with one of those little desiccant paks that come with new items to fight off moisture. I know… I’m pretty ocd, but it helps me. 😊😊

using a muslin first is helpful in regards to gettting the right fit before cutting the fashion fabric. 😊

You’re absolutely right. Making mock ups for good practice runs so you don’t ruin your good fabrics

I’m using a vintage (2001) McCall’s pattern, so I appreciate this video! I cut out the pattern pieces today. Thankfully I’m the largest size on the pattern, so I can just fold it to the other sizes if I need to!

I'm happy to have found this video on McCall's patterns. For the first time, today, I bought a McCall's patter to make clothes for my husband's "Infant Jesus" figurine. I have to say figurine because he doesn't like me calling it a doll! LOL hehehehehe I've never bought this brand before, so when I opened it, my eyes crossed and my nerves went wild. I found it to be totally confusing. Then I watch this video and now it's all so clear. It really does LOOK way more complicated that it actually is. Thanks so much for that.

One suggestion I have is when marking what patter pieces you need use an erasable ink pen or heat eraser pen this way if you use the pattern again you can mark another view.

Thanks I liked the method for storing already cut pieces from pattern.Great idea.i thought if we are doing a regular pattern after cutting why not use Fusible interfacing to add thickness to the cut tissue and store.
@thewolfsdenDIY Жыл бұрын
That’s an interesting idea, I have not tried that. My only hesitation would be that the ink of the pattern piece may be ruined when you iron on the interfacing. If you try it let me know how it turns out
@djtblizzle Жыл бұрын
Maybe for small pieces that are subject to tearing, but that’s a LOT of interfacing if you’re doing a larger outfit or garment. Sewing your own clothes is already expensive as is

What does right side of pattern and wrong side pattern mean to me. I see it on the fabric cutting layouts please explain. Thank you
@thewolfsdenDIY Жыл бұрын
Hey Vera! The right side of the fabric/pattern is the side that is meant to be seen, or face out on the project. On the tissue pattern piece the writing would be “correct”. Where the wrong side the pattern of the fabric or writing on the pattern piece would be backwards. Check out my sewing vocab video here. I have some examples for you!

After you cut your size can you like do same dress with another size or you have to buy another pattern??
@thewolfsdenDIY Жыл бұрын
I like to keep my patterns and just add a bigger allowance when I cut a larger size. I usually just eyeball it based on how the sizes are spaced out. And of course try on your dress as you go to see if you need to make any adjustments. But if you’re not confident in doing that you could buy a 2nd copy of the pattern. Another option is to sew a mock up of the adjusted pattern on some scrap or muslin fabric to double a check your measurements. Let me know if that makes sense or if you have any questions
@s.f.8867 Жыл бұрын
Do these patterns have the seem allowance included or do you have to add this when cutting the fabric?
@thewolfsdenDIY Жыл бұрын
Depending on your pattern your seam allowance is calculated into your pattern piece. Your instructions for the pattern should tell you what size seam allowance to sew. If it is not listed the standard seam allowance is 5/8”

You can get sewing patterns from most sewing and crafting stores. Stores that I go to here in the US are Jo Anne Fabrics, Hobby Lobby, Michael’s, and even Walmart. You can also sometimes find patterns and fabrics at your local thrift stores if you know how to look! ☺️

Wow - this is so risky, especially for beginners (which I still class myself as). I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS trace the pattern as I make different sizes of ths same pattern which you can't do with your message.

That is correct, and a good practice. This is just my preference as I usually only use one size, if not I make the appropriate adjustments based on measurements and fitting the garment to a manikin or the person

I noticed that you cut the pattern based on one size, I mean you ruined it, what if you want to use the pattern for another size cut. Is there another method to cut the fabric for a specific size without cutting the pattern?!
@thewolfsdenDIY2 жыл бұрын
Yes there is. If you want to keep all the sizes intact on the tissue just simply cut out the largest size. Then when applying them to your fabric to cut pieces for your project you can use tailors chalk to draw out our pattern for the appropriate size. It just adds another step to the process. A second option is to copy the pattern onto tracing paper before cutting. Another option if your budget allows is to have multiple copies of the pattern

Normally you would not cut the pattern but copy it to transfer paper as she said.
