I needed this today, I just started sewing in September and it's so frustrating sometimes. I'll take these tips and improve my work. Thank you so, so much!

I sewed myself a tailors ham and a tailors roll as soon as I retired, when I planned to finally have time to sew a lot ! And I have !

I use my tailors ham all the time, and the seam roll, too!

Hi Amy. My husband brought me a size small denim jacket from the Goodwill. I will use that to practice embroidery on. Thanks.

Love all of your makes especially that bold diagonal stripe knit dress - You are very creative to make some changes to your patterns creating a different look. I have always had troubles matching the best fabric for the pattern I want to use. I have had to resort to purchasing fabric online (tricky) because the only place with fabric in my town is Hobby Lobby with a limited selection. Just found you and am enjoying your informative videos!

Great idea about washing your fabric first!

The tips are great and so very helpful! Thanks!

Wow you definitely improved that dress - nice fabric that was just begging for a new life. Can’t believe we used to wear such frumptastic items! 😮

Your flat felled seam is actually a French seam

Hi thanks for taking the time to post your video ! Very informative! Stupid question, does it make sense to serge the edges of your fabric after you cut the pattern, instead of serging the edges after you create your seam ? ( provided you stay on the edge properly) .. in my mind this seems easier, but I’m a newbie, so I’m not sure. Thanks !

Thank you for your comments. I so agree about the ironing!! I had been taught to iron the seam closed first then open. I think flat felled is great for “sportier” looking fabrics rather than chiffon which is used for more formal wear. A French seam might be more appropriate for lightweight and sheers. Just my opinion.

Using the finished garment measurements is also very helpful when selecting the correct size.

Btw, you can also purchase refurbished sergers.

I'm learning how to sew and I really appreciate your video. I'm trying to marry sewing and embroidery. Your tips are great!

I have a taylors ham..bought it years ago...never used it. I just did some tidying up and found it. Yay.

Thank you I do appreciate your tutorial on mistakes made by beginners. I’m not a beginner but I do need to be reminded of mistakes I can make. Thanks again and God bless.

No the real number one mistake is we are seamstress not Sewist? Women are seamstress and man are tailors. I’m a woman and dang proud of it.

Great sewing mistakes to avoid! I just happen to be one who likes to press my seams.😂

Thanks Amy.

I make a lot of drawstring bags to organize anything I need to keep all the pieces parts together. The flat felled seam is so nice and sturdy and keeps the inside nice and smooth. All of these are such great tips.

Excellent Information!!! Somethings we often forget to do!! Thank You!!!!

Wow this is awesome video. I love it...

Thanks for the great tips!🤩👍😊

I typically buy the pattern, then the fabric, unless it’s a one yard cut or fat quarter bundles, which are my weakness.😊 I like to machine embroider, quilt, and rarely attempt some garment sewing. I find the latter to be extremely challenging.🙄

I found a canvas shower curtain and made dish towels.

It depends. If I like the fabric, I will buy if it's is on sale. I buy patterns when they are on sale. I bought the little mat from the dollar store, also.

Very nice! 💯

Great tips Amy! Enjoy your hike!

Joann Fabrics will have sales on patterns. Also Hobby Lobby. Etsy has pdf patterns too that are reasonable priced.

I grew up picking my pattern first then shopping for the fabric and notions - I'm more likely to actually make the project; plus I can only sew so fast! I agree on new or relatively new thread; I tend to pick the thread at the same time I buy the pattern, fabric, and any other notions. There are so many free patterns/tutorials for garments and other projects; you can also check out sewing books from the Library that often include patterns that you can trace (a roll of Swedish Tracing Paper is a must for any sewing room). I'm also curious to learn about drafting my own patterns that also include variation hacks.

Used sewing machines sometimes come with notions. Sometimes a lot, especially if you're buying someones machine in a cabinet. I've scored 3 that had years long accumulations of everything needed to just sit down and sew.

Love the sheet prints

Hi Amy. I'm new here, from Ohio. Hello !

Definitely, definitely fabric first! Love thrift store fabric shopping and the thrill of a great deal!

Fabric first… but trying to have a pattern in mind first now. Yes…I need all the fabric…Lol!

I love the thrift stores and estate sales ideas. Great tips!!!

Great Tips!!! Love the idea of Sheets/Shower Curtains. You have Wonderful Ideas!! Thank you for sharing with us!!!!!

😍🥰

Leave a comment-what do you buy first; the fabric or the pattern?

The jacket turned out great! I'm so impressed with your vision and how you bring it to life! Oh, and I do prefer the finished sleeves.

I love this idea. Thank you for sharing. I have a similar vest. I think I may try this refashion.

What kind of paint did you use? That is so cool!!

What a super great idea! And, it’s so SO cute!

Super Cute!!! You are so creative!!!! 💗💗💗
