Your Ankara dress is gorgeous! Well done on making 18things!

School and sports have started. So my sewing time has slowed down. Thank you for sharing, I feel seen lol

You have him that Gordon Cartrel

Congratulations on your 18 makes🎉🎉🎉🎉

That's good to know about Joann's giving their bolt holders away! Thank you!

Love the fabrics you chose

Hi Keisha, your shorts turned out beautiful! I'm going to pop over on Instagram to see them on you.

Unrelated to sewing I would love to hear what you’re reading 🤭 I’m constantly scrolling on kindle unlimited and good reads for something to read lol

Your shorts came out beautiful! I sometimes have that same issue of the curved edges not catching the serger stitches. I noticed when I straighten out the curve instead of trying to turn the fabric, that helps it catch 💕

I love the fabric you used for the shorts! The final product is perfect. Im a rebel because I never follow instructions 😂

You are so welcome. I usually don't give any suggestions because I am somewhat a beginner and still learning. Love your shorts they are 🔥. Can you tell me where you got your tracing paper and the hanger with multiple rows at? Amazon has a double tracing wheel tool that will trace the pattern and seam allowance at the same time... if you see this message from than once, sorry. I have sent it three times, but it didn't show up. Can't wait to see how you style it.

If you want to make sure you follow your seam allowance perfectly but don’t wanna mark out the SA, you can get a magnetic seam guide for your sewing machine. I saw one on Wawak’s website for around $3. I’m still trying to figure out the tracing wheel myself 😅 Love the fabric you used for your shorts, they look good!

I would measure my seam allowance. I have used my salvage edge before. Once I sewn it up, the salvage didn't show because of the 5/8 seam allowance. Hope that helps. I hope this make since.

Thanks for sharing

Beautiful fabrics, I really like the yellow one with flowers. Thanks for sharing

Omg Keshia, we go to Myrtle Beach every year too! Thanks for sharing what fabric stores they have! We ended up at Shuckers Oyster Bar last visit but will def check out Noizy's next time! Awesome video! 💗

Thanks for taking us along! I don’t eat oysters 🦪 or crab legs but they sure do look delicious! You’ll love that fabric you purchased! What are you planning to do with the fat quarters?

All great items we definitely can use in the sewing room. Thanks!

I use my seam guide every day! I love that yellow iron hem guide. I have one too. I need to pull it out. I forgot all about it. That Singer Bobbin winder looks interesting. I might check it out. I use a diffuser and a candle too!! Very nice. I use a document clip board for all my instructions. I need them to be upright and easy to read. We share similar essentials. Great list!

I have the same struggle with t shirt neck bands. They never mind up properly for me and it's always floppy looking.

Nice list. I definitely depend on my bodkin. Made by clover featuring Nancy Zieman. It's definitely a game changer, better than the safety pin faster and easier to use.

LETS GOOOOOOOO

Great save on your button down shirt! Your hubby’s top is nice too! You had me laughing when you showed the first one because of your expressions. 😂 As Grace said, always sew the band to the right side of the fabric. I think the photo threw you off because it was showing how it looks after it’s been stitched down and pressed upwards. I hope you have a great vacation! I have one coming up too. Thanks for sharing!

I would recommend that you test wash a swatch of every new marker/tracing paper on the fabric prior to using it on your entire project. Just throw it in the wash when you wash the fabric prior to cutting. Some marker products are wax-based, some chalk, some ink. Combined with different fabric content = unpredictable outcomes. And it wasn’t your fault that the pockets were not cut out correctly. I have never seen such a goofy pocket placement as the one you showed from the pattern company. The pieces should have been all the way on the fabric as there was room. I loved the lessons you learned, especially the first one. Going slow is GOOD. It teaches us to enjoy the process. ❤️

Well done! I still have the first shirt I made twenty years ago. You now know you can tackle anything. 🤩

I forgot to say, you don't have to unpick the whole neckband, just an inch or two around the pucker.

OOOH I'm going to pick up that stain remover from the Dollar Tree! Thanks for the tip. For neckbands, always pin the folded band to the RIGHT side of the neck matching raw edge and notches. Right sides together. If you look at the illustration, the 2 notches are PRE sewing and the band is pinned to the right side of the neckline. Then it shows the band AFTER sewn all in the same drawing. The pins make the illustration confusing. You did a great job with the maroon top. You may be able to unpick the pucker and then stretch the neckband to fit the neckline and sew it again. Neckbands are tough. There are many videos on youtube that show how to put them in. That strawberry fabric has A LOT of stretch so you may want to size down whatever you sew with it. Take your time sewing. Make something you're in love with. Nothing else. I'm working on some Tees. Simple and low stress. I want to make a cape too!! Hope you have a wonderful vacation! 🥰🥰

I did not know about fusable interfacing until I made a dress that required it. And I still didn't use it. thankfully, it turned out OK.😅😅😅

Hi Keshia, very pretty patterns! I think the pattern sizes will work for your children.❤

You did it ! And now you can challenge yourself with another garment ,I just challenged myself by sewing a pair of Jean pants the waistband give me a run for my money,but its wearable

Ripstop is a raincoat type of nylon fabric. Headliner is a foam vinyl liner fabric. I use the Pellon EK130 Easy Fusible knit with all my knits. They have it in black and white. When the bag pattern lists 1A, 2A, 3A etc it means Fabric 1 for View A, Fabric 2 for View A and Fabric 3 for View A. Bag patterns sometimes use a variety of fabrics and they are labeled by the numbers. You don't have to make them from different fabrics. They can all be the same fabric. Hope that helps! Sorry for the multiple posts.

Great unique haul. I really like the bag patterns. I left a comment with sku numbers for ripstop and headliner fabric from Joann's and I think that's why it got deleted.

I left a lengthy comment and it disappeared. I hope to repost.

Beautiful family thanks for sharing

You did such a great job on your shirt! When I first started sewing cuffs I had the exact same thing happen. I was given some great advice to make sure the cuff pieces are mirroring one another to denote the left and right side. That advice fixed all of my cuff issues. Hope this helps. 🙂

Awesome job. The shirt is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m a slow sewer also.

You learned all the basic design elements! 🤩 Collar, placket, pocket, facing, button holes WOW! You picked a great pattern to learn these skills. You are now good to go with any pattern. 🥰Take your time and enjoy the process. Getting started is sometimes the toughest because I get bogged down with fabric selection. Sometimes the tracing paper is made of wax. It may come out depending on the fabric. What I do is test tracing paper on scrap fabric before using it and hand wash it. Try using Dawn with Shout spray with your existing stains. That should work. I never heard of air soluble marking pens. Interesting. This was a fantastic thorough analysis of lessons learned for this pattern. 11 hours is as long as it would probably take me. Speed is not important. I like to sew leisurely. Speed sewing is not fun for me. Now on to the next exciting pattern! 👗🎽👕👠

Congratulations, I am so proud of you. I learned a lot doing that shirt. I still have to do the button holes.

Very creative

Your shirt is coming along nicely!!!❤ Don't be too hard on yourself.🥰 I'm glad you're adding the sleeves. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished garment🥰

Wow your shirt is coming along nicely. Excited to see the finished garment!

Try spot treating the stain with Dawn before going into the wash. Button holes aren't too hard once you get the hang of it. I always practice on the scrap fabric with my machine. I have a video on how I make buttonholes. You picked a very popular and awesome pattern. It has a lot of great design details. I didn't realize it had pockets too! Wow! Nice job on the collar. Collars are challenging. Talisha is a fountain of information! 💖 The shirt is looking good. Take your time and enjoy the process. I hope to enjoy some sewing over the holiday weekend! Happy sewing! 🪡

Omg I LOVE the nautical fabric!❤❤❤

Nice haul

Yes. Hobby Lobby fabric is alwayson sale 40% off every other week! And their notions: zippers, thread, bias tape and buttons are ALWAYS 99 cents everyday. That waffle knit is amazing. I got a light tan of that and made S9857 set. My Hubby gets excited for fabric for him too! Beautiful family. Nice video. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you had a beautiful Mother’s Day Weekend 💕!!!!

I have never participated in Me Made May because I don't have the bandwith for a daily video. My interpretation is that you upload a video daily and wear a me made and talk about it. I LOVE your caftan. So dramatic and flowy. It's always a good idea to interface the placket whenever there are button holes. Try iron steam to remove the interfacing. Tshirt knit will still work for S9314. Have a great weekend!

Girl, pause… Heat that iron back up to as much heat as the fabric can take and steam that interfacing again to loosen it up, then peel it off. You have to finish that shirt! Or, if that doesn’t work for you, get another strip of that fabric to cover the interfacing.

Wait, girl, you’re in Maryland?!?! I’m in NoVa!!! Also, great job on the caftan. I didn’t know you could make a knit caftan!

Girl, you are gonna make that button shirt and get all those new skills down pat! I also dislike pockets on button shirts and I am also busty. I don’t have The Office or SNL fabric but I do have The Little Prince fabric and still don’t know what to make! 😂 These plans sound solid and I can’t wait to see the results.❤
