My brother passed away 6 months ago and left a LOT of tee shirts, 3x. I am thinking of making pants, a dress or two, skirts and a few tops. He was a guitarist and I am keeping all the shirts with guitars on them for these projects.

I love your classes. You are so well spoken and teach with clarity. Well done!

[@user-qt8lk9um7w]

A clear yet very useful video for using small stash of fabric or upcycling your old tshirts. I'll be looking into more of your videos. Thanks!

[@dianadeap572]

I'm definitely going to ake this as soon as my Dress kit arrives and I've had time to work it all out ! Love it !

Your are most welcome.

[@Joy4650B]

I don't like this, I LOVE IT! Especially, the style on the mannequin. I really wanted to see the back of that one. THANK YOU! If I had my SFD with me, I would start immediately. I may go tomorrow to look for some stripes and a solid. Hugs, Joy

[@surefitdesigns]

Joy Bernhardt The back of both T-Shirts are just plain ol' Jane. I ran out of both the red/black stripe as well as the black! I'm lucky to have squeezed the 2 T-Shirts out as it is! Glad you like them.

[@yvonnepaes2847]

Thanks,you have simplified my approach to colour blocking.love it

[@danielaguevara5671]

Thanks for this! What about doing curved color blocked designs? Would it follow these same steps?

[@surefitdesigns]

Yes, pretty much exactly the same.

[@hjkennaugh]

I love both of the t shirts. What sort of knit fabric did you use? Di

[@surefitdesigns]

Hazel Cook - Both the solid black and the stripe are medium weight Ponte Roma

[@glynishigham1893]

i wish i could afford this system, i live in uk and postage is more than the the cost of the stylus. so heres my problem, ive been making the butterick 5998 pattern (the black and white design) however, as i am pretty new to dressmaking i didint take all the necesary measurements, from the waist down is perfect but the top half is wayyyy too big (bottom is size 18 top needed is size 14) my question is,,,,, how on earth do i recut to make the top fit the bottom, im really struggling with this and getting nowhere, thankyou in advance

[@sueallen207]

Glynis Higham Hi Glynis. Why not order a dress kit from Judith UK Agent? Postage costs must less and my kit arrived within 2 days. I'm only just getting started but so much info on the website /. UA-cam. One step at a time but I'm sure you won't regret the investment. Good luck. Sue A.

[@hjkennaugh]

Sorry phone went in the middle of messaging. What differences have to be made to the body blueprint to use knit fabric please Glenda?

[@surefitdesigns]

Hazel Cook - we have a video on this knit topic - please see - ua-cam.com/video/2exy6diJIFY/v-deo.html

[@hjkennaugh]
