My Nana and I are working to sew some things for a cosplay I'm working on, and this video is sooo helpful 🙏🙏🙏 My Nana has sewn her whole life, but this is my first time, so this is helping me understand what she's talking about. Interestingly enough, I used to make a lot of origami when I was in school, and some of these techniques remind me of how I'd work with paper! Awesome video, and I'm excited to make some clothes of my own

[@lanaebabs8675]

I really appreciate this video because I've been sewing for a while in a "trial and error" fashion, and it really helps to now know what some of these words mean. Maybe I can actually follow a pattern now! Thanks for the info!

[@shadymotel11]

This is the most helpful video I’ve found, I feel like you explain things clearly and makes it easy to follow along with the visual aids! Thank you!

[@HillTopSlappy]

I started sewing today!

[@nakiaakbarx3042]

Great info, I would pay for a class by her.

[@cocobeebunnied7371]

I’ve done sewing for a long time but I’ve done only plushies outside of the pjs my mom had me help with to teach me how to sew. This means I have a general understanding but now that I’m trying to learn how to make clothes and costumes I’ve felt so lost. This helps a ton

[@gracecarol4854]

This was such a helpful video!! Thank you :D

[@JaxonHolmes]

thank you so much for this video, i've just started learning to sew and I'm having an incredibly fun time, and I'm really getting the hang of it, while i've been practising on making things like tote bags and pillow cases for friends. My next journey is I want to try creating a simple t-shirt based on a shirt I already have.

[@bradiedean7466]

This was exactly what i was looking for! Thank you so much!

[@samanthawright23]

thank you for this! i sort of jumped straight into sewing patterns and realized i didnt know what any of it meant haha

[@mariacerda5489]

Very helpful!

[@Andrea286x]

Dropping a thank you comment to boost algorythm

[@TheMssiobhan]

Thank you!

[@63clairep]

Great video, very informative. I thought I had it on 2x setting. Perhaps you had a time limit?

[@anainesrodrigues]

Teally good video. Thank you so much

[@meriumhasthephonebox]

Ooh thank you!! So great

[@veronicacruz3749]

Thank you so much for the video but is still hard to understand maybe if you show more pictures that would be great.

[@stephaniechenard9346]

This was great! You mentioned “yolk,” but never explained what it meant. Could you share its meaning?? 😀 Thanks in advance!

[@deskube18]

It's yoke defining an upper cut that will bear a different style from the rest of the clothes. Sometimes you can use different fabric on that part

[@myrmulz]

Thank you for this amazing video! You speak very fast so I had to pause a couple of times but other that it was amazing

[@ReKre8s]

I'm a super beginner and trying to create tech packs for my clothing brand

[@dacgaming415-30P]

On short Sleeve shirts what does ease in mean????? new to sewing my own shirts????

[@rachelpickering6619]

What does UBR mean in sewing?

[@2logj]

Nice effort.for the cutting on fold you could have shown with a fabric.thanks.

[@happihapagurl8762]

great video you just speak a little fast so hard to follow along

[@blakematthews5447]

Great video, thanks! Though I would keep in mind not everyone learning to sew is a girl - something to keep in mind when referring to your audience 0:20 :)

[@CommunistCommando1]

Communist Commando says thanks for the information ;)

[@djtblizzle]

“Don’t worry girl. I got you.” I’m a guy… 😐

[@JacobChrist]

I came here to make a similar comment.

[@Jay-nw8ir]

Loved the video! Really helpful. Also everyone don't forget, Jesus is soon coming repent and believe the gospel. I'm not forcing just saying btw. Remember God give his only begotten Son to shed his blood for our sins so that we can be freely given grace when we have faith. Ask for forgiveness for you're sins today, pick up your cross and follow Jesus daily. Look at John 3:16- 17. 1 John 1:9, Romans 10:9-10. They're also other scriptures about your salvation through Jesus if those ones aren't understandable for you. May the Lord bless.
