    Does anyone know if it matters Which way you fold the fabric before you lay the pieces on it to cut? Right sides together or wrong sides?

    • @SewLiberated
      @SewLiberated 9 днів тому

      As long you are are consistent, either is okay. Just make sure it is selvedges together, so that you are cutting on the grain.

    4th time making these amazing trousers. I still use this tutorial each time. Thanks so much. I really love them. Linen viscose 2x loose and swishy and summery 1 x Japanese cotton, worn to death, 1x fine black wool suiting, so useful. This time in light weight teal wool with a viscose stripe. A winner for sure.

    I love the Chanterelles as sweat pants! I already have four Songbird Tanks. The thing I like about them is the straps are fabric. They’re soft and the top is very supportive.

    • @SewLiberated
      @SewLiberated Місяць тому

      Soft + supportive is always the goal :)

    Great vlog! Question, do you have a jeans pattern? And if not, when are you coming out with a jeans pattern? Looking forward to seeing them! 💕

    • @SewLiberated

      We do not, and don't have jeans specific plans, but stay tuned for more pants soon!

    I would never wear a top like the ones that both of you are wearing (in this video) except as an undershirt under many layers in the winter. My upper arms are so ugly that I have sleeves in my summer nightgowns. It would be so nice to have arms, legs, and breasts as nice as yours. I'm 76 years old.

    • @grannyparks
      @grannyparks Місяць тому

      Hi, if you can't do as you please at 76, when can you?? Please wear whatever you like, and don't worry about what anyone else thinks!

    • @SewLiberated
      @SewLiberated Місяць тому

      We want everyone to wear what makes them comfortable. I am sure your upper arms are fine, but I know those mental trolls can be strong and mean. If you prefer Songbird as a layering piece that is a great use for it! We hope that through sewing we can help you love the body you have, however you want to dress it.

    Thank you. I have not been wearing any of my skirts (because I did not know that I could style them with any of the flat shoes I have to wear). I thought women in skirts had to be worn with dressy high hills (pumps). My health issues have made high hills dangerous for me. Time to get my skirts out and go back to wearing them again. .You are correct. All loose skirts should have hidden pockets in them.

    • @SewLiberated
      @SewLiberated 2 місяці тому

      I am so happy that this video was helpful! You can wear them with whatever shoes you love. Sneakers, sandals, boots, flats. We love mixing styles to create unique looks. Thank you for watching!

    I used to have a Lands End skirt just like this in denim, when my kids were Teenagers, I think. I loved it so much I wore it out and then they didn’t sell those any more. I have your pattern, but forgot what kind of skirt it is. I’m need to create myself a database of patterns and their styles. Most of my patterns are digital, so I don’t have envelopes with pictures. But I think I should definitely make this skirt very soon!
