So in the video you say you don’t include seam allowance in your patterns....I recently purchased this pattern and it said the seam allowance was included in it, just wanted to make sure that was correct:)

[@EdgewaterAve]

Seam allowance is now included! I had sooo many customers asking for allowance to be included so now I’m transitioning all patterns to include it :)

[@syx2syxnailtribe]

I’m having a really bad day and your cat just made everything worth it! 🥰

[@franciscomaldonado1424]

I love when the cat gets in the way! 😂😂

[@__glint]

Hey! I love your videos and would so so so appreciate it if you did one on tension for sergers! I'm a newbie with mine and am having trouble when I turn my pieces inside out (the thread shows, a lot!). Anyway, looking forward to your next vid.

[@tygerslife5713]

Just come across you and you are going to be my new addiction 😂

[@flawlessprince8324]

Girl you rock! I never bought a pattern but I'll buy yours. I make my own and u have me anxious to download this pattern it's super cute. Where is the video for the bottoms?

[@madyleighdecker]

Wondering which style bottom is pictured in the final product? I love that cut!!!

[@immyxo1472]

Your videos help me so much to create my own bikinis!! Thank you x

[@sophiedifilippo7571]

Great video ! Maybe you could make a how to add pads in this type of bikini top ? Anyway I really appreciate your videos !

[@EphyAvenue]

That switch aroo part did get pretty confusing but I think when I’m actually sewing and give it a try, I’ll be alright. Cool tutorial thanks😝🙌🏾♥️

[@denissealcazar7754]

Hi! I like your tutorials :) This is the first video I try to make but I get lost in the last part, after you sew the elastic of the top. I cant understand what you did to sew the bottom and elastic

[@christinakaragiannis3281]

❤amazing job and explanation thanks

[@mercedessmelser9048]

I can’t figure out how to turn it inside out to see the bottom together :(

[@caleighsmith9030]

you do a great job of explaining the part where you have to turn everything inside out!! thank you!!

[@EdgewaterAve]

Thank you! It's hard to describe in words so I hope to get better camera angles too!

[@gracefulonthetrail2244]

What kind of stitch should you use if you are using a regular sewing machine and don’t have a serger?

[@kristinadewitt7138]

Hey Katie! What kind of stitch do you use on your serger?

[@kylacote2966]

In love with the cheetah fabric😍 any chance you could tell me where you purchased it?

[@kylacote2966]

Katie Fredrickson thank you so much! I’ll check it out

[@godlovessophiia]

The kitty! 🥰😻seen the doggy too lol. Wish I would’ve seen this before cutting my swimsuit top apart. I’m doing a reversible one but I didn’t leave a hole on the side 😩

[@shesoblonde2028]

My cat does the same thing. She normally leaves me alone when I’m doing something unless I’m cooking or cutting fabric. She loves to lay on it for some reason

[@thekidsofchrist]

What settings do you set your serger’s tension dials to? 😭😭

[@jhannaherrera789]

I loooved it. 😍😍😍 What type of thread are you using?

[@anabeatrizlessapereira9367]

Amo seus vídeos!!! Beijos do Brasil

[@oldestsister389]

Could you do a bandeau one piece swimsuit? Xx

[@ParachuteRoses]

Is there a way to insert bra pads ???

[@alanafiguerres3276]

Hey love what is that tool called that’s your cutting the fabric ?

[@EdgewaterAve]

It's called a rotary cutter: amzn.to/3cSEqIB And I use it with a cutting mat: amzn.to/2QffL74 -Katie

[@carmendorrego6524]

Hermosooo!!! 😍

[@jaydynpetersen4723]

So cute love this top!

[@taylorgolshan874]

hi! i bought some patterns and they all say 1/4 allowance included but you keep saying none expect the one you recently posted has it included. should i trace the pattern perfectly or still add 1/4in?

[@EdgewaterAve]

By popular demand, I’ve been updating patterns to include seam allowance. So if it’s mentioned in the pattern that seam allowance is included then it has been updated! Within a few months, all patterns will include seam allowance.

[@taylorgolshan874]

@@EdgewaterAve thats great!! thank you!

[@amyc615]

My cats do the same thing when I cut lol

[@reisslevu197]

can you do a reversible sports bra style bikini top

[@izzig2957]

Do you have to use elastic?

[@EdgewaterAve]

Nope, but it helps the seams lay flat and gives structure to the garment! -Katie

[@suzanneschoon6331]

I found this really hard to follow, and badly explained the camera angles aren't great for visual explanation either....

[@sweetnessyouknow]

My cat is the same way

[@lauracisneros860]

I recently purchased this pattern and the back is WAY to shorter than the front on the sides, they don't fit

[@bernicecrichlow8148]

You have your cat I have a 2 year old cousin 😂💖

[@iheartlolatv2947]

I need a cat 😂

[@ingritbailfussdepaula9178]

😘😘

[@oneiceafoster7570]

That cat thou

[@Jayariee]

Honestly I was good right until you were doing the bottom and kept saying take the right side out. I'm not even sure what you can do to make it clearer, maybe a larger garment and more zoom 😭

[@shesoblonde2028]

Jayarie she explains this concept better in a lot of her other reversible tutorials!

[@trucklynn]

Ahhhhh i want to boop that nose SO BAD! 😆😆 and also i LOVE your videos, hoping to make some suits soon!

[@oly6912]

The struggle is real 🤪🐈

[@EdgewaterAve]

You got this!
