Hi Carly, trained Seamstress here 😊 I'm from Austria and actually went to a high school specialized on Fashion and Design, we had up to 14 hours a week of sewing for 5 years, plus additional classes like pattern drafting or fabric production technologies.. i chose to study IT after school though and just recently came back to sewing in my times off and found my love for it again.. the past ten years i just occasionally sewed some shirts for friends but never had as much joy as i have now that i'm sewing things for myself again 😅 Regarding learning different sewing techniques i would maybe recommend starting a binder with test pieces, like for example if you want to learn a new type of pocket, make a small sample that fits in the binder and keep it there. Its way easier to learn a new technique without having the stress of maybe ruining the whole garment because its the first time you are doing it. And you can always look back at your sample and immediately remember how to do it if it has been a while since you last made it (for some intricate things like the french seam to slit thing you did - which i also didn't know of until some weeks ago - maybe do all important stages of the process). Our binder in the end had so many different things, from different hand stiches over seam finishes, sown and hand stitched button holes, different types of pleats and amounts of gathering, pockets and so on.. Other than that i also learned a lot from all those shorts you get on social media Really love your work and your personality, just recently found your channel and already watched so many videos.. always looking forward to find a new video of yours 😊

[@vernieplummer5148]

I am not a taylor, but I have been sewing successfully for many years. I am currently 63, and all of the instruction I learned about sewing I learned in seventh grade home economics. This is a class that was given to the girls in the United States in schools for many years. I am not sure if it is still in place. We learned to sew a simple apron, and we cooked a meal. Since then, I have made many garments for myself, and my daughter, curtains, pillow shams, etc. Just in the last five years or so I have become interested in quilting, and have now made a quilt for my bed and have another quilt with all the pieces made that just need to be sewn together. Every single thing I learned about Quilting was off KZbin. As far as tailoring goes, I watch people like Bernadette on KZbin, who do historical Sewing in the correct manner. At this point, I’m sure I could sew a dress by hand lol. I have also been cooking all my life, responsible for the dinner of a family of four from age 9 on. I became interested in cooking, and watched many many cooking shows. When I was 50 I decided to go to culinary school, just for fun, and pretty much knew most of what I was learning already just from the TV shows. Never doubt the power of KZbin U.

[@carinagonzalez7421]

I tested this pattern too and while I absolutely loveeee it, the pin tucks were challenging to wrap my head around! The process I ended up landing on personally was to ONLY mark the center line of the pintick, fold, and pin maybe 4 times along the way, then I set my machine to a 1/4 inch width and sewed every pintuck. My first make I did try to mark three lines and press but it made it too stressful each time. I also didn’t cut the armhole under AFTER I finished my pintucks, just to be absolutely certain if my pintucks were too small or large it would still fit the pattern piece. I did trace where the shoulder guide should be but I’m glad I didn’t cut until after because every time my traces line was off from where the pattern actually was supposed to be 😅 but it was still so worth it in the end because the dress was gorg!

[@mglouise97]

I just picked up sewing again since I haven't done it since I was a child. I remember more of it than I thought I would. But I'm excited to make things! Having a channel like this to watch while I work is so fun

[@daxxydog5777]

You should find an antique pin tucker foot. It makes it a lot easier. They used pin tucks at a lot in early 20th century clothing and our ancestors weren’t stupid. They wanted to be efficient, too!

[@RJLeigh]

Whenever I'm in a creative/sewing rut, watching your videos is such an inspiration to me! I love how you think about and approach creating, it's so lovely and gets me inspired to do the same!

[@annagubinskaya2260]

Hi! I'm from Russia, and sewing is a part of the curriculum in intermediate school. So, I spent 2 hours per week sewing since the age of 10, and then in my years 8 and 9 it was more like 4-6 hours per week attending sewing classes at the local college. Also, my mom is a good sewer and she used to take sewing commissions when younger. So, it was pretty much expected of a young girl/woman to be a competent seamstress if not a tailor. At school, we studied patterning and sewing, and at college, it was more of industrial sewing techniques - two completely different ballparks to be honest. Then, I read a bunch and I have quite an extensive library on tailoring, patterning, fitting, and sewing too. Then, I am a reenactor and, naturally, I study historically accurate sewing and tailoring techniques. In the end, even though I can quite competently sew a garment using all the 'right' techniques, I usually choose not to LOL. When sewing for myself, I can skip steps and go in the most roundabout way about putting stuff together. I can pattern draft, but I prefer using commercial patterns because that is easier. IDK where I am going with all this, but I guess what I am trying to say is that knowing all the right things about sewing did not make my sewing journey more enjoyable or learning any faster. I still need to remind myself how to sew a vent or a fly every so often. My mom teaches herself the sewing techniques after the 30-year hiatus too. Anyway, I find there are three different genres of sewing with three different techniques. Industrial sewing is very 'get it done' or 'we have a machine for this'. For example, when making a garment in the industrial fashion you would sew all the body seams first so that you can press everything at once, then you sew shoulder seams to make a 3D shape. No pins, no basting, all the staystitching is replaced by interfacing and staytaping. Most of the operations would have a special machine. Pressing on a steam press, straight stitching on a straight stitch machine, button holes on a button hole machine. Seam allowances are included and always the same width for all types of fabrics. None of the industrial sewing manuals would have a single line on fitting. This is what the pattern designers and tables of unified sizes are there for. Not useful for a home sewer! Bespoke is more about precision and high-end finish. Yes basting, yes pinning, understitching over topstitch on any day, rolled hems by hand over blind stitch (stitch in the ditch), no special machines and a lot of fittings. 50% of all bespoke sewing books would be on how to fit a garment perfectly. If there is a pattern it would not include any seam allowances to allow for transferring the pattern lines onto the fabric perfectly and stitch with the utmost precision. Also, there will be a lot on seam allowance trimming and grading, pressing to shape, steam pressing, ironing out the ease and other unsustainable techniques in industrial setting. Home sewing is mostly targeted at consistent results across inconsistent sewing skills. Because it is bad for business when you have 10 sewers completing your pattern and getting 10 different results.

HOLY COW I've been eyeing this pattern for FOREVER because it's on the higher end- both on skill/ effort and price 😆 I keep missing the Frux Studio sales too. This video encouraged me to just go buy this (on their next sale) and do it! You shared such great tips! I really want to make the kids size version for my 3 girls. So I have been thinking of how to possibly make 4 of these 😆 I love the look of pin tucks but I honestly dread the process😆. Thank you for this lovely video!

[@xfrelinx]

Late to the party but here I go! I work as a freelance tailor och seamstress, I have done so for three years now! It all started with an evening patternmaking course at my local Cutting- and Tailoring school, and then I fell in love hehe. I took their one year basic sewing, patterning and design program. Then I went on to the Patternmaker program (working in a CAD-program instead of by hand). I wanted to work as a patternmaker but the market was terrible at that time and I had no work experience basically as a 20-year old. So I thought I would give tailoring a try. I went back to the same school and did Women's tailoring and Dressmaking for three years. After that I started my own company taking on private clients and businesses. I have gotten new clients through luck and connections pretty much. Don't even have a website. I really should get started on that. Anyway, that's my story! I like having your videos on in the background while I crochet :) I do very little sewing for myself nowadays unfortunately. I only really get the drive to sew for me when I have a longer break or vacation. I have a whole lot of UFO:s, though. But the sew-jo ebbs and flows, I feel like.

[@fromcarlyb]

Ohhh thank you so much for sharing your story. It sounds like you have accumulated a wealth of knowledge along your journey. I understand that feeling - it's hard to find time to sew for yourself if you're sewing for others all of the time! I hope you get a chance to finish some of those projects you have your heart set on! Thanks for watching whilst crocheting hehe!! sending love

[@MicahKC]

Your joy is infectious! My question is about sustainability: Do you frequently wade into thoughts about how the fiber content of your makes may not be the most environmentally friendly, even if the fabric is purchased secondhand, and how adding more non-natural fiber garments into the ecosystem is compounding the problems of polluted water ways, climate change, and the prevalence of polyester fabrics? If so, how do you manage those thoughts? I have a lot of stress about this topic, especially if I decide to let go of secondhand, polyester fabrics I've bought and give them to donation places. And mix in classicism and who has the right to confortability and sustainable clothing and well-constructed garments without the cost of slave labor. It's a lot.

Hi Carly! First of all love the vid, theres nothing better to have on in the background whilst I'm crafting! Btw I'm hand sewing a gray scale tea length circle skirt made entirely out of thrifted mens neckties. Working on my project whilst watching the vid made me wonder if you've ever considered working with neckties as a patchworking medium? There are plenty of them at thrift stores in a rainbow of different colours and patterns. They can also easily be bedazzled, sashiko, embriodered etc for extra pizzazz. Pintrest has mutiple examples of different garments and accessories you can make! /Love from a swedish historical sewing ethusitast!
