Just wanted to say that you are a big inspiration. I am 12 and my grandma bought me a brother sewing machine last august before she died. Since then I have made 5 dresses, 2 blankets, a t shirt. I also hosted a charity sale at my school. I made 50 scrunchies and 20 masks. This video had helped a lot. I was just wandering if you could do a video on how you design a dress then make it. Thanks☺️🙃
Im also 12 and i got a sewing machine for Christmas! I just really dont know where to start on the sewing part. Can we be friends??i dont have any friends who share the same future goal as me
@@mikustan2808 OMDSSS IM 12 AND I HAVE THAT GOAL TOOO YALL WE CAN BE FRIENDS
Same
Btw you. MUST be creative
Aw keep going ❤️
I love how even as you're growing as a channel and sewer you still make time to answer and help your supporters! God bless you!💞🤍
it's the best part of what I do :)
@@NataliaTrevinoAmaro 💛
Can u tell me tha name of sweing machine... 🥰
@@pecocoart2789 of mine? it's JA1400 Brother sewing machine. But I think it's an old model so you may not be able to find it. You can check online!
@@pollyandrade2125 ok thnx 🥰
It’s good to change your sewing needles out every six hours because they become dull if you’re doing every day sewing. Which is also one of the reasons they break overtime, randomly. As for heavy duty and Jersey needles a lot of times heavy duty Jean needles are sharper and they have a bigger eye and needle point so they will poke holes in lighter materials such as silk and knit fabrics.
I actually took a little course on fabric a couple years ago. Woven fabric looks like this under a microscope #. It is straight threads going in different directions, so the needle needs to be sharp to pierce the space in-between the threads. Knit fabric is looped together so there isn't an easy spot for the needle to get through. Stretch needles are rounded to help it find a spot to get through the fabric. If you use a normal needle in knit fabric it could pull your fabric down into the bobbin case because it gets caught on a thread instead of going through. Or it will actually cut the threads and if you have to seam rip it leaves behind huge holes and your fabric potentially unravels. Always use the right needle for what you are working with!!
Yes! That is the explanation I was trying to give but wasn’t very extensive about😂 THANK YOU!!!❤️
@@NataliaTrevinoAmaro I'm glad my random knowledge can be useful! Love your videos :)
I screenshot this comment thanks for the tip 😄
#Facts strech needles and seam ripper, must haves

Great basic sewing tips! I remember when I first learned how to clip along a curve, I was so amazed by how it made such a difference in making the curve more flat
I’m a beginner and this helped a lot
I really love your channel and i think it's because I love the way you talk and your personality which is confident , full of passion and of course, charming.💕

I have always been creative, I absolutely love crafting & designing since the very beginning. My mom owns a boutique & I use to cling to her & helped while she sewed her projects. But I couldn’t get any kind of hands-on training. I literally get so excited when I see any kind of sewing/ designing videos cuz I wanna do something like that too. However, I’m an international student pursuing PSYC now cuz fashion school was too expensive & with too much on my hand rn, I just don’t know how to start learning what I’ve always wanted. Literally breaks my heart. :(
I cant even express how excited I am for this
i was really looking for ways how I can learn how to stich and improvise on my clothing brand and universe really helped me

Yes! Was already planning on it!!

Don't become designer 😠😠
I na from Czech republic And I love you
8 minutes more!! So excited
This is amazing!
Thank you!!
This has helped me so much! I want to learn how to sew but just don’t know where to begin. I have my grandmas old sewing machine with a bunch of ransoms stuff. I have my fabric and a pattern but it confuses me 😂 I may have to start with the very basics
So how would you stop a curved seam allowance from fraying if you clip in to it? Always wondered about this since starting my sewing journey
omg thank you so much, this video really helped me out !!!
a package ive been waiting on to start my brand came to my door as i was watching this video... a sign? i think so!
Heck yea it is!!!
You are brilliant. I can sew also... and i also want to open my small shop or buiness at home.but financial issues .... I can't open😔
I like to watch the vedios who work hard and open... I pray that u will get more success
I really want to learn how to pattern make! Also how to drape a pattern and transfer that to pattern paper!
You got it!!!
yay!! i loved this video!! it was so informative and helpful!! one question though- is it possible to understitch on a curved seam?
Yes! Definitely a little tricky, but totally possible!
Please do jeans. like a whole video or something dedicated to everything about sewing jeans. I've broke 7 needles already (jean needles).
Great tips💖😍
Is it just insane that I want to do everything by hand? Is it unrealistic or a good idea?
I wouldn’t suggest it unless you want something incredibly time consuming to keep you busy (if so then I would suggest it) it is up to you but if you have access to a sewing machine then I would suggest that more than hand sewing. It is possible to do but it’s time consuming and WILL kill your hands.
Do you own a coverstitch?? What are you honest opinion about them ?? Sorry I don’t know if those on the table are 2 sergers/overlock 😬
Nope I don’t! I wish I did though hahah thinking of getting one in the future!
I don't have an advanced sewing machine. Mine's simple. But it's really cool. ☺
Thank you
Would you tell me, what's on your wall to manage the needles?
Heyyy , thanks so much for your video. I’m trying to get into sewing and design and this is very helpful. I want to know what you mean by press your seam allowance. 😊
Hey Natalia, this is so great! But i still wondering, what is the brand of your rotary cutter? Hope u replying this cause the answer helps me a lot, thank you
how do you control the foot pedal to go so slow when your doing back stitching , im always having a hard time going slow enough for a couple of stitches, im wondering if the plastic grey foot pedal and i need to get a different one. tips would be appreciated.
My machine has a speed control, but with a regular machine, it just takes a lot of practice to understand the amount of pressure you need to put on the pedal!
@@NataliaTrevinoAmaro damm i didnt know machines had speed control lol and i thought so, thanks!
Can you make a video on how much fabrics should a plus size person get to make dresses or other projects like that so let's say if a person is 50 and plus then how much fabrics should they get to make a dress or shirt or any other projects like that so can you make a video of it
where do you normally get or download your patterns?
I make my patterns!
Woooow thank you
Could you make a video on how to make the shirt your wearing? :)
You're such an inspiration! Can I know how you learned sewing?
I learned when I was 15! I took classes at my high school!
@@NataliaTrevinoAmaro woow that’s great!
I’ve broken so many needles and never thought about getting injured omfg I’m in a dangerous industry 😂
The fashion industry is no joke😂
I love this video!!! For sure I will follow all the serie!!! I am amateur sewer and I am trying very hard to learn how to do clothes for myself due to my particular body shape and the style that I like but all garments ended up to look like very strange or bad constructed ( I am doing by myself everything from the pattern to the sewing process ). There is some useful books or guide for people like me that didn't follow a proper fashion school can use to learn how to properly the pattern process and the sewing process ?
I don’t really use books but I’ll be sure to make videos on patternmaking soon :)
You didn't mention about the fabric cutter which you use in every video... Plz let us know about the cutter I mean the brand nd the link
My aunt gave me an industrial sewing machine and for me it is harder to use, especially trying to thread the needle in it is very confusing... it’s from the 1950 someone gave it to her and she passed it down to me... it just smells and dirty
Hahah new industrials are nice! Haven’t ever used an older one though!
What kind of style do you like it
Mine classic: brown, dark green and black, white
Im planning to make my own brand and i like to sewing but i dont have eny machine i wish dat i have one like you that you can start your own business im from Philippines and i watch your video and i feell sa positive to plan at to makr it my own brand
Hi..could you please do a video on size.
