    I would find content on UA-cam so much better if our generous UA-camrs would be much more succinct.. please.. a lot fewer words. Just tell us your 10 tips for a better fit.. and secondly, try not to repeat what others have said.. eg.. check the finished garment measurements; don’t put in all the “ ease” that patterns include. Etc

    • @Tammy.Handmade
      @Tammy.Handmade День тому

      Wow this comes across as very rude! I make content that I personally like to create, my aim is always to create easy to understand videos but this just sounds like your very personal opinion 🤷🏽‍♀️ I have told you my 10 tips, if that’s similar to other knowledge out there that’s because that’s advice which is most beneficial…

    Love this, it’s so helpful! When drafting patterns from a bodice block, should you start with a block using typical commercial sizing measurements rather than your own body’s measurements e.g typical measurements of a UK size 10? Do you have any guidance on how to then scale the pattern into other sizes?

      This is completely up to you! I find because my measurements mostly fit within the typical sizing they give, it's easier for me to create a block using a straight size 10 for example and then adjust the pattern after to fit me personally. I share in my course linked in the description box how to draft a bodice block and grade patterns :)

    When I moved house I lost a lot of parts for my old Brother mechanical sewing maching. I haven't done any machine sewing for a few years but now, long to get back to it. The cost of buying replacements for my old machine worked out quite expensive and, as it is so old, I think it's time to buy a new one. I'm a bit nervous of computerised machines because what happens if they break down? I'm quite handy at fixing problems with a mechanical but I would need a professional if there was a problem with a computerised one. Guarantees don't cover everything. So my question is, is it expensive to get a computerised sewing machine repaired?
