Hi Kate, I would definitely do a mock-up first, that shouldn't take too long. you'd want to move the folded edge up a few inches and cut the pattern in half, and add a few inches to make it wider.

Oh yeah! I did buy a few pieces and have already used all except the Kitty print, 😺. Hate it when I buy fabric and don't use it!

Oh wow, that's a bit over my head! Sewing can get technical, I try to keep it simple so my students are not scared off!

@@FutureFashionDesigners I do draughting by profession, so I need to be up on a lot of very technical maths stuff.

So glad to help ☺️ I know when you're traveling you're out all day and don't want to carry stuff with you, so pockets are a necessity! Have a great trip if you're traveling!

Glad to help ☺️. Hope your sewing project turns out great.

Humm, I was thinking Singer made Janome? I just bought a Pfaff that I have always wanted. I believe Singer owns them too. I don't know who owns the Brother machines, I just know they're really good and don't break. Very important when you own a sewing school!

And so comfortable! The perfect combo.

Yes, that is what I was thinking, but I don't think that's what it is because you'd have two notches where you would ease it between. It's a mystery 🤷‍♂️ 🤔

I've had it for years, think I found it in the LA fabric district? 🙂

I believe I did? Video and photo, Humm. It was at the end of the video.

Oh wait, you're right, had a glitch in that video. To late mow. I do have it on the thumbnail.

Thank You! I have saved so many pairs of jeans from the Goodwill pile with this trick 😀

Thank you :) I love them. I just took them on a trip, easy to roll up and put in my carryon. Let me know how yours turns out!

You are so welcome! You should see patterns from the 1930s/40s, instructions all on one sheet, and no markings at all on the patterns! Crazy! I guess all could sew back then? Thank you for your kind comment, always nice to hear I helped someone!

I have never driven in the city, way to congested and fast-paced for me. Parking most likely expensive. NYC is a massive transit town. Restaurants, love the ones in little Italy, there is a fun place called Stitched and Houndstooth pub in the garment district. I think I have clips of them on the video there. I also have a video on Mood Fabrics. Have a great time, bring an extra suitcase!

You are so welcome, I'm glad to help. Ya, I know. There is that one tricky part when sewing a vest! 🧐

Thank you for your nice comment 🙂 and thank you for watching!

Hi Mary, Yes, this is one of my earlier videos when I didn't know how to lighten my frames. I have since remade the video, you can find it here :) hope it helps. ua-cam.com/video/SKi77ylnZg0/v-deo.html

So glad to help! Welcome to my channel 😁. Be sure to check out all the learn to sew, sewing videos! Keep at it, it gets easier with each project!

So glad I could help! That's the tricky side of making a vest. Really hard to understand on the paper instructions. Good luck on the finishing details!

@@FutureFashionDesigners Thanks again and it turned out perfect!

Glad it was helpful! You will find this kind of hem in many projects, so it's good to learn it in your early days of learning! Keep up your sewing!

Hi Joani Thank you for your lovely comment and nice words 😀. It's always nice to hear that I have inspired someone! I found the cute sewing fabrics at Joann's fabrics. If you have a nice fabric but it is too lightweight for your friends DIY apron, you could always use innerfacing. It would definitely work for DIY tools. And you could always put a loop on the waistband for a hammer! And congrats in your new sewing machine! I am considering buying a new Pfaff machine this week. I have always just used very basic machines and have always wanted a Pfaff for some reason. Not the fancy embroidering ones, they are way too complicated for me! What part of Australia are you in?

So glad to help! Good luck with your alterations!

She sounds like a bit like me. I hate wearing anything with buttons, snaps, or anything that digs into my skin. I have removed many waist bands and replaced them with soft stretchy bands using neoprene or bathing suit type fabric as a wide casing. You could add elastic too. I will put this video on my list to make. I may have one similar in my videos. I will look and let you know.

I have this video that may help. ua-cam.com/video/vNdR2YFtPsI/v-deo.html I will have to make a video about using a wider band of neoprene to replace an uncomfortable waistband. I think many people have this issue. Hope this helps

Right?!

The ideas just keep coming! 😄

Yes it is! Better to spend time on the prep instead of time fixing mistakes!

It may come as a shock that not all women want to emphasize their breasts. 😉 And women have had breasts for centuries. 🧐 Look back to the 1920s when foundation garments were designed to flatten the breast's. 😲

So glad to help! There are a lot of great fabric stores there for sure! Hope you saw part 2 Rome stores also! If you're also going to Florence, I just added that video to the playlist a few weeks ago. So far, Rome has had the best variety of stores. Happy traveling, let me know how it goes!

So glad I could help ☺️ Good luck on your pockets!

Hi, I'd suggest first making a sample of the shrug pattern out of muslin and seeing where you can cut and add seams to create the length of the pattern. A sample will help you see how the pattern looks on. Also, using the center front button facings along the shrug neckline could be fun and maybe use the cuffs in the arm area of the shrug. Or,t cut your shirt short, rehem , do some shaping, and turn it into a bolero. There are so many shirt styles, not sure what you have, hope I helped with some ideas for you.

So glad to help! Hope your halter top works out great 😉

Hi Susie, Thank you so much for letting me know. For some reason the link diverted? But think I got it fixed. Let me know if it doesn't cooperate! mailchi.mp/6f1314b6da59/caftan-pattern

I did, it's in a photo at 19:39. I was explaining how cold it was out at the pool and I put it on over my clothes to atleast get a photo. And it looked way better on my niece, her photos are after that. Now I need to make myself one!

Hi, Having trouble with my scanner. Should be up soon!

okay, think its working. I'll be waiting for pictures of your caftan! mailchi.mp/fb624c36569e/caftan

It works great with most of these pesky gaps. Sometimes it doesn't get it all out but a little gap is better than a big gap! Good luck on your alteration! Hope it works great 👍

Hi Linda, yes that was before I learned how to lighten the exposure on my editing program. I made another video that is lighter. You can check it out here. ua-cam.com/video/SKi77ylnZg0/v-deo.html

So many great stores! Be sure to leave some extra space in your suitcase! Enjoy!!

So glad to help! Thanks for letting me know 😃

Glad I could help 😊 Thank you for letting me know. 💚

Nice 😊, hope it turns out great. Where ya traveling to? I just made a fun skirt with a lot of pockets. It will make a great travel skirt. And will be out on video soon. 😄

Glad to help ☺️

I love that stuff! I always hated making waistbands this made it so quick and easy!

Hi Teresa, I tend to place the pins depending on each project on this hem the horizontal helps hold down the area better. Helps prevent the stretching. I rarely sew over pins, I only do that when I'm working with very slippery fabric or velvet. The chalk markers are great I have two of them but I rarely use them. You use them when you are marking uneven hems. This tutorial was just for a basic hem technique. But good idea on the chalk marker, that would be a good video 😀

Nice! Be sure to let me know if you find any I haven't discovered yet in this video! And if you're going to Rome, I have two videos on those! And videos on the Gucci museum and Ferragamos museum. Enjoy your trip!

Oh my gosh, I can't wait to see it! Are you going to trim it in the pink color? I have to get started on the green linen, soon summer will be over! Be sure to send me a photo!
