      Both items are beautiful! And I am totally going for elastic waists. Having lost 25 pounds, so many of my favourite skirts with fixed waists no longer fit, but I am, at least, able to alter the elastic waists, thank goodness. I think everything I make now will be elastic or wrap. Life often brings altering waistlines (stress over breast cancer, in my case), and being able to adjust one's clothing is a great benefit - plus, its comfortable!

    I think that’s a great tip that you shared from your mom regarding not having to amass a collection of patterns but rather hack them. It can be very tempting to buy all of the things. As a new desist, it’s sometimes hard to identify the differences or similarities between patterns and know whether or not you can make do with what you have. Possible video idea?
    I recently watched a video you did with the McCalls 8181. I’m going to use that pattern to try and make a top very similar to the one you just made in this video.

    Hello! I'm so impressed by your ability to just whip up garments like this! I absolutely love the top! I really like RiflePaperCo as well. But I find the 44-45" width they use makes the fabric a bit more pricey for garment sewing because you have to get more. But maybe I'm due for a treat?! Thank you!

      @LaurenJohnson  20 днів тому

      Thank you so much! I placed the straps face down on the top, and basted them in place first, then then I stitched across the top with the lining in place, they are caught in that seam. Think of this pattern as a strapless top, so the straps are caught in the seam of the lining and outside. I hope this makes sense!

    The skirt is great, and the top is fantastic! A tip is to reverse the zipper next time.
