Super Easy Poncho Tutorial | The Sewing Room Channel

Super Easy Poncho Tutorial | The Sewing Room Channel
In this tutorial I'll show you how to make a super easy poncho.
**HOW TO MEASURE FOR THE FABRIC AMOUNT NEEDED**
The fabric width from selvage edge to selvage edge is 46" when it is unfolded. When the fabric is folded with selvage edges together the width is 23" from the fold to the selvage edges. For the amount of fabric need for your body measure from your wrist, up the arm, across the shoulders, down the other arm to the wrist. That is the amount of fabric to purchase.

How much fabric?

I love this!! You are such a good teacher!! I have been sewing since I was a little girl and I learn something new all the time from you.

I was going to make a Tshirt as my first garment. I think this will be much easier. Thank you.

Hi Ladies Blvd. You will really enjoy the poncho - it is so easy to sew. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@claricebridges2436]

I found this tutorial. Excellent and beginner friendly. I’m so excited about making this for myself. I’m attending a mother’s retreat soon. This will be a hit to wear. Most conference rooms the temperature is usually cooler than comfortable. Thank you.❤

Thanks for watching💗and Merry Christmas😍

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

I love this! Not only can you make a beautiful poncho, but if i take this same technique, (minus the fringing of the fabric) I can make awesome swim suite cover ups using very thin or shear fabrics. It might take some adjustments but it gave me some great ideas. I have been collecting really large scarves that have the perfect width for coverups.

[@joyscranfield5527]

A double gauze would be beautiful as your swimsuit cover up

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Great idea!

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

@@joyscranfield5527 I hadn’t thought of that. Thanks

[@carolg.6838]

Really cute poncho. I need some clarifications as it was hard for me to see the detail on the fabric. After fringing, then you fold 1/4 inch on front and back neck/shoulder pieces to the wrong side, correct? You sew the neck/shoulder edge to sew the shoulder seam with right sides facing with a wider seam allowance so the folds are not sewn over at that point open, is it that the seam is open but both edges of the seam allowance still have the folds? Are you then putting one folded edge on over the other to sew on the fold?

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Carol. To sew the seams at the shoulder bring front sides (pretty side) together and stitch the shoulder seams. In the center leave it open (do not stitch closed) for the neck. Then fold the seam allowance under twice all the way across the poncho. Now stitch the seam allowance folded edges down - stitch close to the folded edge. Hope this helps. Glad you liked the sewing tips. Thanks for watching💗and happy sewing😍

Hi Carolyn. In the DESCRIPTION section under your KZbin screen is the instructions on how to measure your body. Thanks for watching. 😍

[@melenewycza]

please advise how much fabric you purchased for poncho as well as the width. I live in Australia. Lovely video thank you

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Look for fabric that is 42” to “45” wide. Measure from the top of your shoulder to where you want the bottom of the poncho to land. Then double that number, and that is how much fabric you need to purchase.

[@anitagreen7425]

Yeah!! Thanks!

How much fabric did you start with before starting your project?

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Donna. The fabric amount is listed below your KZbin screen in the DESCRIPTION section. Click on the video again. Then scroll down until you see the word "MORE". That section will expand open and you will see the information on measuring your body to get the correct amount of fabric. Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍

[@susanwilliams3598]

can you also turn this poncho 90 degrees with a V-neck front and back? thank you for video

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Susan. Yes you, but make sure the neck opening in going in the correction direction. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@Grammanonna1957]

Cheryl, what kind if fleece do i ask fir at Joanns? There are so many. That would make a good video …different kinds of fleeces and the best use for each. Thank you for this tutorial❤️

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Gramma Nona. This poncho was made out of Joann's platitude fabric. It is not fleece. If you want to make this out of fleece you cannot pull the fabric strings out to make fringe. But you can turn the raw edges under and stitch them down. Buy the best fleece you can afford. The anti-pill fleece does not get little knots on top of the fabric after wearing it. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@Grammanonna1957]

@@TheSewingRoomChannel oh ok…i cant believe i totally forgot that you mentioned what kind of fabric that was! Thank you so much for all your great videos, im learning so much from you. God bless!❤️

[@Grammanonna1957]

@@TheSewingRoomChannel would you recommend the platitude fabric for children’s pj bottoms? If not, what fabric would be best? I value your opinion…im a late bloomer when it comes to sewing/crafts! 😂

[@karentoynton8948]

Hello Cheryl found your poncho patterns. Please can you tell me how you can work out material for a longer length poncho. . Not sure how what length or how much material you have in front of you . Please can you tell me how I would work that part out. For myself Thanking you in advance.

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Karen. Decide what length you want it to be - measure from the top of your shoulder on down the front of your body. Multiply that length times 2. Thant is how much fabric you need to buy. Fold the fabric in half. The fold is where your shoulder seam will be. Before you cut the fabric hold the fabric up in front of your body to make sure it will fit. Hope this helps. Happy holidays. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@karentoynton8948]

@@TheSewingRoomChannel thanks Sheryl so sorry I spelt your name different that’s just how we spell it in the Uk. I do apologise. That is very useful information for me. I haven’t really made clothes mainly just quilts and the likes. I would love to be able to make clothes with confidence. You definitely inspire me to give things a try. Just being brave enough. You make things look so easy, I know they are not. Hehe well wouldn’t be for me. Haha

[@mariaperham6382]

Great video 💕 Three questions: 1) Does the fringe unravel over time? 2) Is this washable fabric? 3) If so, what method, hand wash?

[@dale3404]

If you sew along the edges to be fringed and wash in a mesh bag, you shouldn’t have much of a problem.

[@vickisouth76]

can you make this with fleece??

[@elizabethsanda1959]

How much fabric did you buy? What's the width and length of the fabric?

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Elizabeth. The fabric width from selvage edge to selvage edge is 46" when it is unfolded. When the fabric is folded with selvage edges together the width is 23" from the fold to the selvage edges.

Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍

[@onebuttafly8692]

Hello…. Would any cotton fabric be ideal to make this poncho?

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

In order to make the fringe the fabric must be a loose weave. If the fabric does not unravel easily, you will not be able to make the fringe. Before purchasing the fabric pull on the thread to see if it unravels easily. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

Hi Barbara & Teresa. This information is listed in the description of the video but just in case, here is the information you're looking for. Look for fabric that is 42" to 45" wide. Measure from the top of your shoulder to where you want the bottom of the poncho to land. Then double that number, and that is how much fabric you need to purchase.
