I know this video is long, but.... I could not fit all of the information into a 10 minute video, so it is what it is, I wanted to make sure you see some examples and reasonings behind why I do certain things.

[@lucialiguori2219]

No problem for the length! We are in a world were everything 'must' go fast! You give me/us the time to learn! I enjoyed every seconds of your explanationt! Thank you!

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

@@lucialiguori2219 Lucia, thank you so much!

[@vivenna]

Another immensely valuable video! Thank you so much for putting in so much time and effort to create these clear and visually appealing explanations! :)

[@clairedriscoll8628]

Not too long at all completely thorough and lovely clear explanations thank you x

[@mizhamilton4937]

This is going to be saved and shared to infinity :)

[@user-bl6mp2js6j]

Hi, I’m a 59 year old beginner sewer who fell upon your videos by chance when browsing and I’m so happy that I did. (I hated sewing when I was younger, because of a sewing teacher I had at school!) I absolutely love your detailed instructions and the video shots are so clear and easy to understand. I’ve been sewing for almost a year now - simple things for the home and some easy bags (generally, square/rectangle based stuff) and I’ve not had the courage to feel I was capable yet of moving on to clothes. However, your enthusiasm and explanations have made me change my mind and I can’t wait to get started on some simple tops and T-shirts. Thank you so much. 😊

[@0401sharl]

Very very informative for anybody new to sewing

[@heidipucci9078]

❤ thank you so much!! I keep replaying this. I have to do that until my mind can get the concepts!😊

[@charlotte8879]

Excellent video

[@pamelavance648]

With your talent info inspiration, definitely don't mind longer videos

[@deannalebedz851]

Excellent tutorial. You explain everything so well. Thanks

[@krissycus]

This video really helped me grasp the different options. Thank you for such clear instructions!

[@janefarham6379]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. At 72 I wish I had had this info when my boys were children.

[@jenniferpasion7913]

Watching from Clark, Phillippines.

[@suno8911]

Your English, like your explanations, is truly amazing. I can tell it isn’t your first language so I really admire how much work must have gone into becoming this proficient. Which is why I hope you won’t be offended with the following: both in this and another video, you keep saying “voven“ fabrics. But the word is WOVEN (from the word to weave). So, “wo” as in work, wonderful, or wow. I can hear many words where you pronounce the w in this way, including “working”, weren’t, and “way”. I dared write this comment not to criticise but because I know that, as advanced speakers, we can only eradicate fossilised mistakes and improve our English further by being corrected. I aim only to help. - Big Fan. 😊

[@yooperlooper]

I'm trying to teach myself to sew in my retirement and sewing necklines & armholes has so far resulted in ruining 3 tops and several more screaming banshee outbursts. I've looked at many many videos wondering 'why can't I just sew the necklines and armholes rolling them in and sewing them before I sew the sides and shoulders. this is the first video that shows me exactly how to do that!!! Now I'm ready to try again. If only I can sew a straight line I may have a chance. I'll try on some old lighter fabric first. God help me if I can't produce a simple tank top!. 😂THANK-YOU! [P.S. I Love the facing idea too! - maybe that's a better option for someone with little patience and technique -oh wait! that looks way too confusing ]

[@yamburanday911]

I really love this tutorial. Now I know how to finish my necklines. Thank you so much.

[@maryakers1901]

These videos are so helpful. Thank you!

[@FarhanaFaruq]

Thank you! Really like the rolled hem technique. Wish i knew this year's ago.

[@chouchoue]

These tutorials go really fast with no time wasted at all. I love it even when I already know what's being explained.

[@teresaschwarz1243]

Great video! You are giving confidence to try making clothes. I’m currently a quilter/bag maker.

[@StunningEmu]

I got everything mastered with sewing except for necklines and zippers. Thank you for this video🥰

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

My pleasure! I think partially it is the stress when it comes to necklines and zippers, cause often it is one of the last steps and that anxiety of getting it right can sometimes be overwhelming. Here's a detailed video on the invisible zipper - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hICtpotsmdSDaLs

[@StunningEmu]

@@ThoughtfulCreativity I'll be sure to watch after this video ♥️

[@dianep649]

The video was well worth the time it took to watch it. It is such a great reference video. I've never seen such a good explanation of the burrito method. WELL DONE!

[@marybrown9207]

Excellent video and great information, thank you

[@acb7634]

Goodness. Those serger threads are driving me insane. 😂😂. I love your channel. I'm new to sewing but your instructions are very easy to follow.

[@sharongallagher3443]

Very thorough video.

[@conniefullerton1706]

Thank you so much! Your tutorial made it easy for me to understand how to make the all-in-one neckline and arm hole facing. I never learned how until you showed us. Your lessons are great!

[@bernardmadziatayika8919]

Thanks so much for giving very clear illustrations and explanations.

[@flossymelton7658]

This is one of the most useful videos EVER. Thank you. Thank you.

[@rosaleebertucci7]

Excellent. I learned so very much

[@karenlaroche8200]

Thanks for the guideline tip towards the end.little things like that help me.

[@sandrarekker585]

Thanks, very informative as always!

[@lisadiane55]

Your videos are so clear and easy to understand. Thanks! One thought: perhaps a tutorial on applying bias tape visible on the right side in such a way that the half on the wrong side is 1/8" wider, and then "stitch in the ditch" on the right side with no visible stitches showing on the right side.

[@miaochs7716]

Excellent tutorial. 10 /10

Fantastic video. I have learnt so much. Thank you x

[@joanneroy4618]

This was very very helpful..!! Now, I know wat technique I could use to hem certain fabrics..!! I just usually double stitch all my garments. Thanks alot !!

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kathygann7632]

Excellent instructions.

[@saundraweed9738]

Love your presentations. Information is so relevant

[@tarshiherndon1930]

Over the past twelve hours I have viewed several of your tutorials starting from scrappy t shirts up to this one by clicking on the links. I am a visual learner and love how you explained, modeled, and demonstrated the process on each of your videos. I especially like this one and it wasn't a long video to show how to finish the different necklines. Thank you so much. Now, I am off to view the different hem finishes video.

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Glad you found it helpful and welcome to the channel :) I try as much as I can to show in details, when we talk about very specific techniques, I find that it makes it easier to understand what's going on :)

[@JUSTMCKOY]

I love this video. Very detailed thanks

[@bbrown8353]

You can teach an old dog new tricks! I haven't done much garment sewing in years but I am getting back into it, I had never seen the Burrito method you showed and it's great. The last time I made a little girls dress I did a similar facing and remember that I had to review the directions several times because my brain couldn't "see" how It would finish. This method with the video simplified it and made the facing lay so nicely. Thank You

[@joannehagon8297]

Wonderful! Thank you ❤

[@tracys.5143]

Wonderful video, thanks for putting all these finishing techniques in one accessible place. Keep well, dear Alisa!

[@astone3871]

I’ve been sewing for over 50 years and can’t seem get understitching to lay flat. I will have to try again. I have a huge stash of lots of different fabrics and just haven’t had time to use much of it lately. I also have lots of little girls dress patterns and no grandkids in sight. I really appreciate your telling us about the Dress a Girl project and will have to make a few dresses to donate soon.

[@mazlinaidris7829]
