Simple Ladies Wrap | The Sewing Room Channel

Ohhhh I need to try this! It would make a great bathing suit coverup! Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@shellylemons]

I’m with you. I have to buy another bathing suit. Mine from last year is too big. I loved it. It’s a full bathing suit dress with boy shorts bottoms and tummy control. I have lost 15 pounds since last summer so it’s way too big.

@@shellylemons Congratulations!!!!

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@shellylemons]

@@christinemeleg4535 I was having a difficult time losing weight until I did some research. Your liver has a lot to do with belly fat. Since I had chemo and radiation treatments my liver was a mess. It needed to be detoxed. I use milk thistle, dandelion root supplements plus dandelion tea. It takes time but it has worked. I still have 10 pounds I want to lose before the end of March. When it gets warm here in North West Tennessee I will start walking.

Oh Sherrill, thank you so much for this!! I've always wanted to make my own wrap to save money from the clothing store purchasing, and now I can, because of you. Thank you so much for sharing!

Excellent tutorial.

If you don't have a machine with a single needle throat plate, I think I've read that you can use a tear-away stabilizer or even a nice weight tissue paper under sheer fabric to keep it from sucking into the sewing machine. You just tear it off when done stitching.

[@christinemeleg4535]

Ohhh thank you!! My machine doesn't have a single needle throat plate, your suggestion will work! I hope wash away stabilizer could work as well!

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Good idea. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@honeywell891]

YES . I have been doing this for years. I place 2 strips (one both sides). Takes a little time to strip off after, No big deal. Otherwise I feed the monster and loose lots of material…

[@janbrassard7857]

Thats what I have done for 40 years using newspaper.

I have a cream color lace fabric. I wonder how hard it would be to make a wrap out of it....I love watching you. Great ideas!

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Portia. The lace idea sounds good. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

Thank you. Cheryl. Great tutorial. I have the same problem with readymade wraps. Now I can make my own.

[@roxannaweaver2155]

I'm going to share this with my sisters. They like things like this. I'm too much of a "tomboy" to wear something like this. I'm more comfortable in T-shirts, jeans because I spend a lot of time outside working my gardens. and I seldom go out where I would probably wear something like this. Also, if you can find some Plantain Ointment you can use that on that cut on your finger. It doesn't take much but you will need to keep it covered while it does its work. Plantain heals from the "inside out" and rarely will a scar be left. I use it on my own cuts, burns, bruises. It works fast. Look at your local health food store. If you can't find it there, get online with your local gardening group and ask where you can get some. Someone on that group will probably have some they've made or know someone who has it.

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Thank you so much for watching and happy sewing! 😍

[@janiceweed9198]

Very clear tutorial. Thank you! Have you ever experimented with spray starch to stabilize the edges to make it easier to do the fold overs?

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Janice. No I haven't tried that. I will experiment with it. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@honeywell891]

YES. Starch makes the fabric easier tho handle.

[@notmyname2229]

Great video. What type and size of needle do you use, ballpoint or universal, 60 or 70? Thank you. 🥰

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Not My Name. I used a size 90/14 needle universal. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@notmyname2229]

@@TheSewingRoomChannel Thank you.

[@emilychadwick3857]

You just told us you use weights, so I am good, 🙋‍♀️🌷

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@shellylemons]

1)Do you wash the fabric first? 2)What if you are wider in the rear than the shoulders? Do you still cut the width to the shoulders? Alright!! I have some material that I want to make a wrap with. I think it’s polyester/rayon? It’s beautiful!! I don’t have a computer machine. The fabric I am going to use isn’t sheer just flowey.

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Shelly. Measure the widest part of your body and use that measurement. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Yes you can prewash the fabric. Before washing/drying do a zigzag stitch on the 2 raw edges of the fabric so that is will not unravel. 😍

[@julieweaver3456]

What a great video! Will definitely be trying this garment. Thank you!❤️❤️

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Have fun! Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@patriciahines4660]

Very beautiful . Thanks for sharing . Simple and well explained . I would love to see you do a tutorial on a caftan . many blessings to you and yours .

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Patricia. Thanks for the suggestion. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@joandobrijevic7572]

Love this! I have a Kenmore sewing machine about 15-20 yrs old. It works fine but did not come with a throat plate with only a single hole. Any suggestions? Or would it be best to use a Serger?

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

You can still make this but just be aware that the fabric might get stuck in the hole. Use a new needle because the point will be sharp. An old needle is dull at the point and also can cause problems. You can also use a serger. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@paulinequinton1345]

If possible could you do a tutorial making this kind of garment without the front opening

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Pauline. Don't cut down through the center front. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@suzanne8216]

Very nice--thanks! I've made a couple of kimonos in a very similar way. I chose to French seam the sides/under the arms--worked out well--and double-fold hemmed the rest. I even added pockets made from scraps to the inside bottom fronts on one. :D I made the second kimono from lightweight sweater knit (Walmart 2-yd/$4 deal!). I had some major aggravation with it being eaten by my machine, and long story short, used the tissue paper trick. But I'm glad for your instruction about a different throat plate. I'll have to look into getting one.

[@shanegeis2696]

Thank you for another great tutorial! I love it! I’m going to try this! I’m teal and have a difficult time finding a shawl/ wrap that fits me properly now I can make my own . I didn’t realize how easy this will be. I am excited to try this out. I look forward to all your tutorials 💞

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Glad it was helpful!

[@emilychadwick3857]

Hi there, what do you use for weighing the fabric down ?

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Emily. I use 3" square metal weights that I purchased from Home Depot. You can find them in the section of the store that has large metal bolts. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
