Just finished my first skirt with grown on waist band constructed with your pattern drafting videos, thankyou so much! Would never have believed I could do this. Great instructions!
Dear Teacher,
I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for your incredible teaching videos regarding skirt patterns and body skirt patterns. Your explanation of skirt piecing was truly enlightening and helped me understand the concept. I was searching for skirt and blouse patterns, and your videos on skirt patterns, especially the piecing, really made me understand what to do.
I hope you can teach about blouses too, which I’m going to learn soon. Since I’m learning skirt patterns but haven’t done the sewing yet, after seeing your videos, I got some ideas on how to sew as well.
Thank you.🙏👍
So glad they have been helpful, thanks for watching!
Thank you do much for doing these tutorials, I'm really enjoying learning from you, brilliant teacher 😊
You're very welcome!
Another inspiring lesson and I’m so grateful. I learnt so much from this video.
Would you be able to show us how to create our pattern blocks on the computer too? I’d love to know how to do that.
I sewed up my toile skirt block yesterday and I’m thrilled with it. I feel like the world is my oyster and as somebody else commented… this is something I never imagined I’d be able to do. So thank you, Izzy. Thank you so, so much. ❤
Great video and very easy to follow. Thank you
You are welcome!
Fantastic series, am learning so much!
Glad you enjoy it!
Fantastic. Thanks Izzy. I didn’t know you should reduce your stitch length for topstitching!
Thank you for watching 😊
Thank you very much for this tutorial.
You are welcome!
❤thank you for sharing. Can’t wait for the trousers 😃😍❤️
You are so welcome!
Thank you Izzy, another great tutorial, also love the added tips re stitch length, I wasn’t aware top stitch should be so short! I don’t even know if my machine will reduce the length to 1.6mm I’ll have to check it out. I also learnt from one of your other great drafting videos that the standard length for sewing the seams was 2.5mm All my sewing life I’ve been using 3.5mm ! 🙈
So glad it was helpful 😊
Hi Thanks for this.. I have a question about the grainline of the facings cut. Seems one is more on the bias but the other is not. Is cutting one sort of on the bias and one not intentional?
