Do you ACTUALLY need a mannequin to sew?
How does the description say "no sewing" then you do have sewing in it.
It says 'no sewing pattern'
As a beginner garment sewer, I really appreciated all these great tips. Thank you for this great video 😊
So glad you found this useful ❤️
Great info, thank you so much. Wish I had read this earlier, definitely using all these tips moving forward.
So glad you love the video 💗
Very nice, I will try making it.
This was a well done video! Fabric choice, yes! I've made the same pattern out of three different fabrics, and the fit was different every time!
I know tell me about it! Fabric really can affect the final fit!! It's fun to experiment with how they differ too ❤️
It is good to have these al at one place. A good video, especially for beginners.
Thank you so much, so glad you find it useful ❤️
Thank you - very informative. Lots of tips that I hadn’t thought of before.
Thank you! So glad you love my content ❤️
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
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…
People have different styles! There are plenty of others on UA-cam, just find another one who presents it the way you like it! Problem solved!
Hi , I just found your channel. So far, I really liked it. I have a question: What model of sewing machine do you have. I like to buy one and I have trouble choosing one.
Thank you! This machine is the Brother Innov-is VQ4 ❤️
Best tutorial! Thank you
So glad you like it :)
Your class looks fun you have. Ever run sales? $400 so expensive for me. Is it only in metric or inches too? I've taken classes in metric and i have to keep using google to find the measurements in inches.
Thank you! I use both measurements depending on what method I’m using to draft patterns. Also I do run sales on my course, if you sign up to download my free sewing pattern business roadmap you’ll be added to my list when I send out sale emails ❤️ the link is here www.passiontoprofitcourse.com/roadmap
@Tammy.Handmade Thank you. I like that you teach drafting a mannequin. Never did that. Can't wait for sale. I am trying to learn to draft a pattern block but I don't know how to use the block to make things. I appreciate the response!
What length and width do you have for the zizag?
Trying to make these for jars but they aren’t turning out. 😢 sad
Thank you for sharing your video! I do have a question. Should I buy a bigger size than what I normally wear to make it a crop top? I’m a mom of 3 but wear high waisted bottoms. Still like to be stylish though😂
Omg I love it gonna try ❤❤❤
Wow you're the best!!😊😊😂❤
Love it
Guys please do not adjust the green screw bobbin!!! I just did and found it that it is the one perfectly set for embroidery.
Amazing tutorial ! Easy to follow! Thank you!
I love the way you explain things! A patient teacher ❤
Thank you so much ❤️ im so glad you love my video 🥰
Having trouble with making my stitches straight. What should I do they’re always curved
Start by sewing folds. It helps
❤❤ excellent advice ❤❤
So glad you love the video ❤️🥰
Thank you so much for this demonstration. I've just received my new Brother machine. It's the first computerised mch I've had so I was a bit confused. This has really helped
I would have put the pocket on first.
i made this today! first clothing i ever made. it’s so cute! thank you for the detailed video ❤
I’m so happy to hear that!! ❤️ Congrats on sewing your first piece of clothing 👏🏽
Awessome Machine. And nicely explained details.. What's the name of your Sewing Machine Please ? Which Model it is ?
Hello how I buy 100% pure merino wool fabric for suits in best price?
I always come back to making this sweet grocery tote. I kind of like putting the pocket on last because then I can really align it. Such great direction, thanks.🛍
I think your zipper foot is a regular zipper foot. Invisible zipper feet have a channel to put the zipper teeth in to keep it open while sewing.
Thank you for sharing I didn't know how to used them I'm a biogenesis have a bless day
Thank you dear friend
Glad you love the video ❤️
Which fabric is this..?
It’s linked in the description box - but it’s a gingham cotton fabric ❤️
Great, thanks...
Glad you love the video ❤️❤️❤️
Please how do i get to buy you type of sewing machine please am in Ghana .i really need one please
My current sewing machine is the Brother Innov-is VQ4 and can be found here sewingcraft.brother.eu/en/products/machines/sewing-machines/advanced-sewing-machines/innov-is-vq4
Loved this video! I teach sewing for beginners and im taking notes from you. Very organized and easy to understand. Thank you!
So glad you loved the video ❤️❤️❤️
❤Thank Tammy. Very helpful!
So glad you love it! 🥰
Wow great video thanks for sharing love your tote bag
So glad you love it 🥰
Please do more flowy skirts/dresses for those under 5'3, your explanations are so good! Also, do you have a general timeline on how long certain projects/pieces take?
Oooh this is a lovely idea!! Whatever project you sew will depend on your experience and how complex the project is. The tote bag for example can take around 1 hour to make :)
@@Tammy.Handmade I'm a complete beginner and wanted an activity that would teach me some practical skills and also not need to have me glued to a screen😂 but yes, keep doing your amazing work!!
I'm in Dorset ❤. Loved your videos. I've just started sewing and I have a brother sewing machine. Mine is the one below yours with all the embroidery and pretty stitches too. I just watched how to use all the tools. Be nice to see how you use the button hole foot with 4 holes if you have time to show me. ❤. 🎉
So glad you love the video!! Brother sewing machines are the best ❤️ Absolutely that’s a great idea!
What is the black button with the spring for on the "J" foot?
Thank you for the video!
Glad it was helpful!
I didn’t not like the zipper closure. But cute. Would not do that again.
loving your videos!
Thank you!!
This was a great tutorial and I like that u leave the open seam by the zipper for a clean finish thank you for sharing
Glad it was helpful! 💖
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?
Following
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 :)
A thoroughly enjoyable tutorial without any rambling on that others are inclined towards. Straight to the point and extremely informative. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much! So glad you loved the tutorial ❤️
Thank you for the video. I am planning to teach my 9 yr old granddaughter how to sew and am using this idea for a dress she can have a go at making .
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?
What is the size of the finished pouch please
Hi Tammy, really love the elastic waistband tutorial, one of the best and easiest method I've seen! Would it be okay if I use any fabric for this elastic waistband method? I'm thinking of using a suit fabric. Thank you! :)
