Wardrobe Builder January: How to Sew a Fashion Hoodie

[@jamie765]

I am a quilter, but I have always wanted to learn to make clothes! I am so excited!!

[@NancysNotions]

We are excited for you to join us! :-D

[@designerjoi7124]

I love working with my quilter students who have never sewn clothing or have gotten away from garment sewing! Welcome!

[@racheldavison4042]

I can't wait to see what else comes out of this series! I hope eventually there comes videos about pattern fitting to your size. I am always interested to learn how to take a commercial pattern and alter it for my body style.

[@NancysNotions]

Definitely Rachel! The garments coming up will have more fit and we will definitely dive into that!

[@aliciajoyce3675]

@@NancysNotions Do you have catalogues I want to by some sewing tools..thank you..

[@mssixty3426]

Thank you for the detailed information, very helpful!

[@minitastudio5083]

You are such a great teacher! Thank you!

[@virginiakasselman5953]

I’ve just found your channel after looking for pants resizing information and noticed it said ‘Nancy’s Notions’. I have followed Nancy Zieman’s pattern alterations and have her “ Fitting Finese‘ book and love the pivot & slide method. Are you affiliated with the Nancy’s Notions that we all love and why do you not teach her method under her company name? I have subscribed and am looking forward to seeing the technic of pattern alterations she did and without slicing my patterns up. Happy Sewing

[@amandarossouw493]

Thank you please keep it coming.

[@deedeejohnson6033]

I love watching you teach.. great series too..

[@designerjoi7124]

Hi DeeDee! Thanks for joining us in class!

[@dianawright8334]

Great tips, thanks for the video. Can’t wait for more

[@NancysNotions]

You are more than welcome!

[@galememeeof6688]

I enjoyed watching this series and I love the pattern you chose. It was a little cringy watching you sew over pins though. Thanks for sewing this for us.

[@designerjoi7124]

I know LOL! We all have sewing mannerisms. I had to keep it real and keep that in the video. See you in the next video!

[@jenniferrobison1345]

Great video, I can't wait to make my fashion hoodie. Love your teaching style!

[@designerjoi7124]

Thank you Jennifer! We make a lot of hoodies at our house. My daughter LOVES them!

[@danieduchesne9066]

Great video! May I suggest adding the links to the video’s Joi mention during this videos that demonstrate specific technic (eg. zipper). I have not been able to find that video and the other one she mentionned.

[@designerjoi7124]

Hi Danie! The videos are being loaded all the time. Make sure to subscribe so you will be notified as the new ones are available. The zipper one is available now. We tried to space them out to allow time for viewing.

[@sharonn7488]

What a wonderful series!! Thank you!

[@NancysNotions]

Thanks for your feedback! We look forward to having you sew with us!

[@WeQuiltStudio]

Ty for this. Can you raise the Camera for the next videos? It's hard to see your stitching with the camera that low. Sorry. I really love your videos, and want to learn so much more from you!

[@janicecook8776]

Hi! What zipper exactly did you use in the blue hoodie? Thanks!

[@kimberlyd9049]

I wonder why you didn’t add the zipper before you added the back to the garment. Seems like it’s have been easier to only deal with one portion of the piece with the zipper before adding the back and then needing to work around the back and sides.

[@darlenehembree3925]

Hi Joi! are you using the scuba knit fabric that is on Nancy's Notions website?

[@designerjoi7124]

Yes all the fabrics I will be featuring are available in the store online

[@susannedubois9521]

I was unable to find the How to Insert a 3/4 Zipper video you referred to. Would you please provide a link? Thanks.....great video.

[@designerjoi7124]

You should be able to type in Wardrobe Builder in the KZbin search or go to the Nancy's Notions KZbin Channel and they are there. Thanks for asking

[@luminant1]

In the Description section, could you please put the links to all of the videos that were referenced in this video? Thanks.

[@designerjoi7124]

Make sure to subscribe and you will be notified of all the videos. There are many new ones coming out each month.

[@lindadavis6193]

Do you use stretch thread in bobbin also?

[@NancysNotions]

Yes, you would use the same thread in the bobbin as well. Thanks for asking!

[@karenrehfeldt8884]

In the tutorial she mentioned Seraflex thread. Does Nancy's Notion sell this thread? I was not able to find in on the website.

[@designerjoi7124]

Yes it is on the website.

[@hotdoger51]

Where is the zipper video? A you tube search using the title shown in the video reveals nothing. Also not on Nancy’s notions KZbin channel. Thanks

[@designerjoi7124]

Hi Cathy! We are spacing the videos out but the zipper is available so we hope you will check that out!

[@WeQuiltStudio]

What is your stitch length with that Seraflex thread?

[@designerjoi7124]

Any length- based on the use. Make sure to watch the how to sew with knit tutorial and see the stitch sample example. That will help!

[@patbehles8793]

Great video, but I wish you had spent as much time actually showing how you finished putting in the hood lining as you did the hems. I didn't understand how you said to turn under the facing edge and stitch it to the seam allowance. How do you do that without stitching through the entire hood? And I didn't understand what you did with the extra flaps that hung down by the zipper.

[@lindabridges445]

Please list the items you are using. Fabric, pattern #,

[@designerjoi7124]

Thanks for watching. The pattern number and items are listed in the first part of the video as a reference.

[@wandaveldman2201]

I'm hoping for ways to create a simple t-shirt dress that is just right for my body.

[@nicolassmith1278]

Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today??

[@katielove9932]

Sure would be nice if you covered-up those dress forms.
