Sew Maniacal by Jacqueline is about inspiring you to make fun creative things one pattern mess up at a time.
I am an amateur sewist who's been sewing since 2014 with my first cosplay as a cyberman! I have always had trouble with finding patterns in my size and trying to fit my size 38/40 I/J breasts in a shirt. Im hoping to foster a community of plus size sewers who support each other and are courageous with their style.

I would like to point out that I am not affiliated with any pattern company (eg. Simplicity, Mccalls, Butterrick, Vogue, Etc.)
I do not get paid to do this nor I am an employee. If i ever get sponsored or paid for my opinion/craft, ill be sure to scream it really loud and be very annoying about it.
I just happen to be a huge fan and collector with 300 patterns and counting....

Thank you

Thank you so much for this video!!! I got stuck and almost gave up. Your video saved me and I accomplished it!
Thank you for making this sew along, am just about to start this pattern and your alternations will be very helpful for me.
@@emmamuddiman-rawlins8136 no problem! I hope everything turns out well for you! 😊
Great job, love what you’re doing! Could you talk about what sewing foot and settings (tension,etc) you used on your machine? Also how are you pinning this? Won’t that leave holes?
Thanks for making this video. My niece asked for sports bras and i bought this pattern. Your video was so very helpful

@@fayysade no problem! 😊
Thank you so much for posting this video, this is such a cool pattern, but the instructions on the site are very confusing
Thank you so much for this!! Im starting this costume project and i was hoping i could find a video of someone doing it!
Thank you very much, have been battling with this one, and was about to give up until I came across your vodeo
Love your videos. Did you use the correspond to your measurements or did you size down.
Really helpful video as I’m just about to sew shorts using this pattern. I thought you looked great but I get what you say, if it’s not you then fair enough!
Hello, I was searching for a tutorial on this pattern and found your channel. 😊
This is gorgeous! 😍. Thank you for the video!
Sorry they didn't turn out to your taste. If you did want to shorten, metal zipper teeth can be pried off (they're kind of clamped on). You just want to try to keep the tape they're attached to intact.
I tried this pattern once but never finished it lol😅. This video is really making me want to revisit it. Especially knowing now I might need to lengthen the top part Yours came out really well!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Great job! I learned so much. They look wonderful on you.
Enjoyed the sew along. You might want to check out the Noice jeans by Muna and Broad.
😲 I don’t think I’ve heard of that brand. Will definitely be checking them out. Thanks for the suggestion!! 🥰
@sewmaniacal4312 Might also want to check out the Ames Jeans by Cashmerette patterns. Both companies give you options on pant leg style. Also No tiny baby back pockets.
Thanks for sharing. I understand how you feel. I am not a fan either for my body, type. They do look nice on you.
Thanks. 🥰 it’s ok. Sometimes it’s an uphill battle but the more you sew, the more you get to know what works. That’s the goal for me 😊
So mad I’ve never found your channel before! This skirt is crazy cute and I’m thinking of making a leather skirt myself. Also your voice is so amazingly soothing ❤
You’re here now! You really should! Had no clue how much I would love it at the time. Thanks so much! 🥰
Haha true! Looking forward to the next video 💕. I’m definitely gonna try! And you’re most welcome ❤️
U so talented friend!!! 😍🔥 U ARE Glamorous!
Aww thank you!! 🥰
Ma'am you look amazing. You made me want to it, thanks gurl.
Awww thanks! 🥰 I am sure you would look wonderful in this dress! 💖
Thank you for the info!! Your experience is way more helpful than any manual, I've been struggling to find decent info on drafting bigger sizes
Thank you! 😊 I appreciate your kind words. I’m hoping to do an updated version of how I’m upsizing things in the near future, so keep an eye out for that 😉
New subscriber here. Your dress is gorgeous and fits you so nicely❤😊. Thanks so much for sharing your make👋🏽❤️🔥🪡👗
Awww yay! Welcome! Thank you so much! 😊
That -IS- show stopping! I love the fit on you!
aww thank you so much! 😊
Glad to see you back. Love the dress
Thank you! its been a long time coming but im happy to be back 🥰
Excellent tutorial , you absolutely rock this dress . We all go through something, but having faith and sharing the experience will guide us through.
I absolutely agree. We come out on the other side stronger. thank you so much! 🥰
I am glad I found your channel, you gave good and clear instructions and showed how you overcame issues, brilliant, I hope this year improves for you, and I think your short hair looks wonderful, thank you from the UK x
awww thanks! i appreciate all your kind words and constructive criticism. it really helps! Hello from florida 🥰
I can't figure out what I did wrong on step 10 (~ 5 mins into the video). I sewed all the edges and my zipper ended up on the inside. LOL. Help!
I got you! So let me explain, when you sew your zipper, both the corset fabric and the zipper are sewn rights side together. The wrong side of the zipper should be facing you and the teeth should be facing away from the edge. The raw edge of the corset and zipper tape are your new edge that you sew your lining to. So ignore the zipper and stitch the lining to that edge of the corset like it’s a normal edge at I think 3/8 inch, not sewing into the teeth, sandwiching the zipper tape between the outside fabric and lining. But when you flip it out through the lining hole, the zipper teeth should flip out as well. Hope that makes sense. If not, let me know! 😊 good luck!
@@sewmaniacal4312 thank you!
Your dress looks great! Thank you so much for the explanation & pattern endorsement!
Thank you! 😊
I love clarity in your video , it's straight to the point and so easy to follow. 👏👏👏👌❤
Thank you! I appreciate that 😊
Thankyou for sharing , i think you did a great job and looks really nice on you too
Thank you very much! 😊
Thank you, I was struggling with that weird cuff opening diagram too!
It was confusing but I’m always a supporter of doing what looks the best and works for you, even if you don’t completely follow the instructions 😊😅
Outstanding job! And thank you for saving my sanity- I got confused on the skirt steps 6/7. Being able to SEE it totally made a huge difference. Thanks again!
Awesome! Love to hear that. Thank you! 😊
So glad to have found your sew-along video!! I’ve wanted to try this pattern for a while but I am a beginner and found the blog instructions a bit confusing… your video really brought it all together for me and now I can’t wait for the challenge!
Yay! Glad to have helped! Can’t wait to see how it turns out for you! 😊
i want to say thank u to your tutorial sew this blazer,i follow step by step from your this video lov from indonesia 🥰
Aww yay!! Thanks for watching! Love from Florida! 😊
So cute I've been itching to make a leather skirt thanks for the extra push.
No problem! I have found a new love for leather skirts because of this. Thanks! 😊
I saw a video stating that if you cut the pants an inch outside of the cutting line, it will give you an extra 4 inches around, and is like having added insurance to help with the fit as it is easier to take them in and make them smaller. That is what I did with this particular pair of pants since I didn't feel like pulling out the measuring tape to measure myself against the pattern's measurements (gained a few pounds for sure). Once cut, I pinned and basted the seams together until I got the fit that I liked, then proceeded to sew. I hope this tip helps.
😲 you are totally right! I may have to revisit this pattern in the future. Redeem myself 😊 thank you!
Can you give some tips for working with Peachskin such as type of thread used, stitch length, and if you recommend straight stitch or small zigzag to prevent fabric puckering, especially on side seams. Thank you!
Of course. Thank you for the idea for my videos too! I used a microtex needle, which is very sharp and very thin. You almost want to treat it like satin. I used polyester thread, serging the edges or using a French seam to help with fraying and unraveling. And I saw one guide say that using a longer length stitch can help with puckering (ex. Instead of 2.5, use 3.0) I didn’t have issues using a straight stitch. Hope that helps! Good luck!
Thanks for the advice!
awesome
Thank you!! 🌸
Great video. I have just made a denim skirt, I am a long term sewer but I felt it’s a challenge make. Thanks for taking the time to share.
No problem! It really is one of those projects that challenges you. 😊
I’ve made this without the buttons but want to do it again when I get a covered button kit. I really love the finish with the French seems, it feels lovely and luxurious..
thats cool! Hopefully it goes well! French seams are slowly becoming my favorite for exactly that reason! 😊
Thank you for making this video. I was thinking of making a dress from peachskin and seeing how it behaved as you pinned/folded it and moved in it is really helpful. Your dress looks lovely on you!
aww thank you! 😊 Absolutely do this with peachskin! (excitement not yelling 😅) you will be very happy with the finishing product. i promise!
Great job, your denim skirt is very nice! New subscriber here, thanks for sharing. Oh yeah, love the fit as well✅👍
aww yay! thank you so much for subscribing! 😊 and thanks for the compliment!
Beautiful dress! It looks great on you!🥰
Aww thank you so much! 😊 I appreciate that!
Hi, I am a new subscriber. Such a beautiful fabric & make. Thanks for sharing.
Welcome to the family! 😊 Ive had this fabric for forever and im happy to be giving it new life. thank you!
I am working on making scarf B but for the life if me I do not under the first folding part. I wish you had actually showed you folding it instead the afterwards part.
Thank you for the feedback! I’ll be sure to include those kinds of things in the future. It took me so long because I had to find the pattern 😅 Are you referring to steps 11 and 12?
@@sewmaniacal4312 it is just the cutting out the long scarf part for me. I am always so nervous I am going to incorrectly fold and cut something wrong. I want to make sure when I cut that long piece my fabric is suppose to be folded one time or is it supposed to be laid flat as a single layer then cut? I am a visual learner so seeing thing done helps a lot. I look forward to more of your videos.
@@MissCraig I totally get it! I’m a doer so I learn by doing which makes me scared of messing up good fabric. 😅 The scarf part can be cut either way. According to the directions, you will have a long piece of fabric that is 2 times the size of the pattern piece when not folded. You’ll cut the three sides without the “fold” arrow which should be away from the edge, then flip the pattern piece across the “fold” side of the pattern and cut the other three sides again, making sure it’s one complete scarf. Or, you could just cut out your hood piece and with the fabric that’s left, fold in half so that the pattern piece can fit and the “fold” arrow on the fold and just cut the pattern piece out once on the fold which will also give you a long scarf piece. the fleece doesn’t really stretch in one direction, so the most you need to worry about is making the scarf one piece. Hope that made sense. I think I separated mine in the video because I didn’t have enough fabric but if you mess up, you can just sew it together down the middle and it sits in the back of your neck and people won’t see it.
How much leather did you get? Where did you buy your leather! This is very helpful! Thank you!
aww yay! no problem. I got around 2 yards, most of the skirts even up to a size 32 were for 2 yards. i got my faux leather from joanns. Im not sure if they still have it but heres the closest to it i could find. any faux leather will be good honestly, regardless of color. www.joann.com/black-smooth-faux-leather-sportswear-fabric/18242503.html Hope that helps! 🤗
I know you made this 3 years ago but I just made this and your video was helpful. Thanks
Im happy it still holds up til today! 😅 yay! im glad it was helpful, Happy sewing! 🪡🧵
