I learned to sew when I was six and though I am not even remotely a beginner I still find it a challenge to follow the instructions that come with commercial patterns as the sample pics are not sufficient and the directions can be interpreted many ways and even at times poorly explained. I am a visual learner and Mimi seems to be the only pattern designer that has video tutorials that walk you through each pattern she has and that has made this soooooooo effortless! It’s a brilliant sales tactic as well. I specifically purchased a dozen or so of her patterns because of this. I made these pants yesterday and wore em today and omfg they are sooooooooooooooooooo comfortable! I’m working on a second pair now! Thankyou

Firstly, MimiG you style your designs to grace and enhance the body, regardless of size. Thankyou. These pants are soooooo flatering, and make a woman look like she is power dressing, not skanky dress. I can not find these pants to buy at any shop on the rack. You are fantastic. Everywoman should have your designs as a capsule wardrobe.

I just finished my first pair of pants ever following your tutorial, and they are GREAT! I made your pants for my mom. I've just started sewing so she supports me by being my customer/guinea pig. I've called her over to try them on, so that will be the big test. But as far as the look, they look amazing. They actually look and function like pants. I know that that's silly, but as a beginner I'm always afraid I'll get some Frankenstein looking creation. And that it'll be like the hand made mugs you make for your parents. They're super happy and proud of you but everyone else thinks you made a bowl or morphed figurine. Anyway, thanks for the tutorials on how to make your fabulous clothes.

These full-legged pants should fit any plus-sized woman with comfort. A partial drawstring waistline may be of more comfort for any time of the month.

What type of material are you using? I know I look at the pattern and he said Knit two way stretch is a tweed or two way Stretch, you experience and you know what type of material ,So what my type material is that through using? Thank you so much for your patience.👩🏾🦲😘 It says about fabric options, knit 🧶 two way stretch, But there’s so many different styles of knit 🧶 know I sound silly but I don’t have that much Sewing common sense, I No you need to stick with the material that’s on the pattern in the back, so is that a heavy two Stretch or a light two a stretch, I’ll figure it out I know it’s funny to you, but your expert at this, like I’m good at cooking and when someone ask me a question I smile, because I know they don’t get it I’m familiar with measuring cups and measuring spoons and I know the lingo of chopping and cutting ,dicing, Blanching your Tomatoes and green peppers, But when it comes to sewing I have maybe one or two common sense on that like don’t speed when your sewing 🧵 But what other things I need help!
