My Tips and Tricks to Patterning + How to Adjust My Patterns!

[@boogieonthebeach]

I'm literally in the process of making my own selkie dress inspired by yours (but in a dark green) and making patterns for it now!! Like yours it's also going to be midi length and hit my waistline instead of my bust so have followed your video pretty closely because I started sewing only like a year ago or so! I'm making a few adjustments (like the bodice is going to be a square neck with wide shoulder straps that I'll attach the puff sleeves to so I won't hopefully need bias tape) but videos like this are so so helpful because patterns are so unintuitive to me! Thanks so much!

[@PaperStxrs]

Yayy! That’s so exciting! I hope it goes well, that sounds so pretty!!! I’m so glad this video is helpful!!☺️🌻

[@FancyRavenmoon]

I love your creative mind I’ve been making my own clothes now I don’t need to buy anything except material and thread. I’m so glad to be part of this movement!! Thank you for all your important tips an inspiration!! Its never too late I’m 60 and in love with sewing!!

[@harleysimonephotography]

I need to know what kind of schooling you've had. Like public school, homeschool, Waldorf, whatever. You are such a creative soul and I resonate with that so much. And you seem so incredibly knowledgeable in all these different skills and hobbies.

You are really inspiring and you give me motivation to finish my project. Thank you dear! You are trully a marvel 💐 keep going 🙏🌺👍

[@PaperStxrs]

[@maggiesmusic7490]

You are very good. It is like you mentioned. Im a self taught pianist and guitar player. It takes years. I gave my sewing machine to someone that can really use it. I was so scared and itimidated by it. Your videos are very inspirational. Maybe it is not to late to start.... Lol😉

[@mirandacole8549]

[@PaperStxrs]

I just sewn the bottom of my crop top to make a lettuce-like border with a sewing machine (I've always handsewn stuff) and I'm obsessed

[@kaya2611]

[@michelewegman2173]

The plaid pants video you made is when I first heard you say to make everything big and adjust from there. It totally changed my sewing life!!! Thank you, thank you!!!

[@tee5112]

This was actually so helpful, thank you!

[@PaperStxrs]

Yayy! That makes me so happy!☺️

[@Annnabannanna]

Thank you!!!! As a short girl, I NEED to be able to decrease lengths, etc.

[@rachelfinder]

"Your seam ripper is your best friend." 😂😂😂😂 WAAAAAY TOO ACCURATE! I have to keep mine close to me at all times while sewing. Im constantly ripping out stitches due to some tweak that needs to happen.

[@luciaescobar6931]

This is sooo helpful! I was thinking of making shorts based on your pattern but did not know what seam allowance you were using or how to adap it to my exact measurements so this video came at the perfect time! :)

[@PaperStxrs]

Yayy! That makes me so happy!!☺️

[@izzahallara3015]

🤓🤓🤓wow i hope i can be like you my dream is to be a fashion designer but im still learning about sewing

[@mereldesmedt4639]

Since you were 5?? Oh my god! How did you start? That's so amazing!!! Gosh I'm really just full on fangirling 😅, you are so inspirational. I'm so happy to have found your videos, I'm just starting out and already so excited about what I'm recreating :)

[@gracelikekiwi8815]

@PaperStxrs Do all your pattern measurements on the video include the half an inch seam allowance? or do we add on an extra half an inch ourselves?

[@FancyRavenmoon]

It’s no wonder you’re so good you started at10 years old!!! Smart girl!!

[@ambersmith2612]

I always make everything too big 😓 in my defence fabric looks TINY when not on a human

[@naomigwolfe8112]

It's okay! Iys better to have too much fabric that too little (like me ^^') when that happens just put it on, pin it together at the seams (maybe a few inches in) so it would fit nice, then mark with a chalk where the new seam will be. Take it off, then inside out, sew at the mark, and make sure the connecting seams (new and existing) are tough and sewn correctly. Then cut off the excess fabric with a 1/8-1/16 inch seam allowance. And re-inside out! Then it should fit perfect! C: Hope this helps, have a blessed weekend!

[@Elena-ux9uk]

thank you so much for this, now I just want to sew the whole day away :D

[@Katz1123]

Aww thank you!! I was from your last video asking for how to adjust the dress into a larger one :) This video is so helpful! Also do you have any recommendations on what fabric to use for linings for dresses and shirts?

[@PaperStxrs]

Im so glad it was helpful!! I like to use rayon fabrics for linings because they are nice and light but still have a good drape!✨

[@kokirea]

Love this !

[@ricma889]

I needed this! Yayayaya

[@NM-gh9oj]

Hello, I have a question (hopefully I'm not too late lol). So say that your waist is 25'' and mine is 27'' (and like every measurement of mine is 2 inches larger than yours), if you cut out dimensions for a bodice of a dress or something like that, would it make sense to just add two inches when i'm making mine? (so if the width of one of your pieces is 11'', could I make mine 13'')

[@PaperStxrs]

It really depends where the extra 2” should go for you, but I would try adding 2” to the back pieces and see if that fit works for you! You could also just try making all my pieces just sliiightly wider which might work well! A lot of sewing is just trial and error☺️

[@NM-gh9oj]

Looking so pretty 😍

I pin my things with safety pin 1st so i dont stick myself or friends works great

[@donaunsworth5620]

Hi i dont know whats happened here but the screen is really dark? Im a beginner to drafting my own patterns and have the Empire line dress in mind. I love the fabric and drape. May i ask what it is please? I have set myself a task of making my own holiday clothes if poasible this year. Also is there a way of making a side zip into a back zip so i can add pockets please? Many Thanks 😊
