What’s the point of basting if you use pins to hold things?
Beautiful! That is SO much work
Wow! Amazing work and a stunning couple!!
Is there any way we can get the prices of these custom dresses marked in the video? Price range shown on each dress in these vids would help me understand if I should even reach out for a consult 😅
@@Penelope_kc ☺️ Feel free to reach out anytime with what you have in mind here: www.doinaalexei.com/custom-bridal-and-alterations-price-request.html and I can give you a price range!
❤
Off getting married aye. Congratulations ❤🎉
Where have you been, Mrs. Missy???? I have been checking in on and off for a whole year❤😂😂😂 My sewing has improved, and I continued to watch your videos.
The lace wrapping looks phenomenal
So beautiful!
Thanks a lot
Wow! You have provided information, I haven’t heard on any other channel. I just learned something new today. Thank you 😊
thank you so much!! you just saved my project😭❤
Thank you - that was an awesome video - gives me confidence to try French darts myself 🙂
Clear and nicely produced video, Doina.
Egads. Just show how to sew a lapped zipper. All the extra waffling is not necessary. Changed your life, indeed.
Never used bias tape before and ur video was the only one i had to watch before i got it!! Tyy, vry comprehensive :D
I don't like that it took 1:30 to get to the meat of the video, but it's good info!
What can you use if you do not have an overlocker?
The BEST video fuly explaining this process I have ever seen--- and I have watched tons on this!!!!! Thanks!
Please how do we make wedge dart
Do you have video of separating zipper with flap placket?
If the pattern is office printing paper, do you pin it to the fabric? I find the paper very easy to tear when pinning. May be I should have traced the pattern on tissue paper.
What about the raw edges left behind?
what about the inside? the zipper flaps are exposed
please turn down the music. It is terribly distracting. Sorry- I really want to watch this but I can't.
Very helpful and timely that I found your video today. Because today I want to finish the seams on a quilted jacket. Since there is batting in between layers, I’m sure the bias binding will be a neat finish to the seams. Great video, thank you!
Thanks so much!!
Thank you so much for making this! Crazy how little informative videos there are on this topic on UA-cam but your video is awesome
Cant believe you explain how to do this in one minute and its very easy ro understand. Youre such a god send 😂 Thank you very muach
Useful video thank you - but the backing music distracts - it's way too loud!
Thank you for this! I have watched so many tutorials and this one was the best. You explained it so well and gave so much detail. Thanks you!
I've been searching everywhere how to make an invisible mitered corner with a bias facing (your method #2) and I could only find method #3: thank you so much for the super clear explanation - can't wait to try it out!
Thank you I didn’t know how to do this but now I do thanks again u saved my project!!
Found the music and intermittent images distracting.
Simply explained
Loved it!
No need for hand basting.
So many videos I've seen so far about using sequined fabric advise to "keep it simple," and "don't try any complex design elements like darts." Thank you for showing me it's possible!
7/8/23 Please do videos on understitching a facing and collar. How do you sew straight without a guide? How do you measure the sewing distance. I like your videos they are straight to the point. Please do a video and sew a classic pussy bow blouse.
What type of fabric are using?
Thank you, do you have one for placing on pants pattern im getting different measurements from top to bottom 🤔
Thank you so much for this video!
Hi Doina, I am a design student here in India, this video helped me a lot in my research to understand nerve knots formed because of repeated use of fabric scissors in professionals. If possible can we connect over a short video call? i would love to take your insights on this topic
worked perfectly. thank you
Your explanations and videos are very tasteful and informative. Thank you for your dressmaking tips and tools too!
I love how you gear your videos to use beginner sewest, but jam pack them with a level of knowledge, skills, and techniques that a home sewest of every level can learn from and grow toward.
P R O M O S M
I love your videos. You have such a high skill set
great tutorial, helped me out so much!
