I like batch sewing, but one thing I will say is that it really works best when you’re using just 1-2 colors of thread. Otherwise I find constantly having to change the thread just slows me down.
Yay something to watch while I sip on my coffee you are so sweet so early in the morning thank you so much
Good morning to you! :) Yay, happy to be on your screen while you strat your day :) I hope today is wonderful for you!
I like batch making in stage of preparation of pattern, pressing, darts, hems, long seams, sawing buttons etc. With tricky elements like cuffs, collars, vents etc is just easier to take time and go slowly.
A good suggestion, indeed! I do like to do hems all at once because then I can set my coverstitch machine, but you are right - when it is tricky, better go slow and take your time! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Alisa!! I use this when sewing shits for myself or any family members, makes things so much easier....
💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
Yes, this is what a do when making my husband his shirts! It takes a little bit longer but well worth it. I am used to doing this when making a quilt as well.
Great idea! I'll definitely be doing this for kids clothes! I need to make alot of baby pants in different sizes too, so 5 of each size!
Hello 👋🏼 your channel is very good channel keep it up 👍
Thank you so much for your advice on how to work out how much fabric I would need I made one of your long sleeve patterns and it fits great and I love it I will definitely be trying more
YESSSSSS!!! So many helpful tips!! I absolutely LOVE your simplistic style to pattern making!!
Though I’ve sewn for MANY years, I’m currently studying pattern making (the hard way as I say) and enjoy watching your videos!
I hope to “marry” simplified and technical sewing skills together to create easy sewing designs!
Thank you for sharing your style!! 😘🥰
i sewed two quilts at the same time, my design so it was helpful to do at the same time because they are identical quilts, rather having to put down explicit notes to remember details.
Great tips. Thank you. I enjoy your videos.
Great video! I haven’t done much batch sewing bc I love to sew as many different things as I can, but it is helpful
Thank you
This sounds really useful! Thanks!
Dee, glad it is useful! Happy (batch) sewing ;)
Batch sewing is definitely a good idea, but for me I still feel I need to complete one garment for fit and alteration issues before cutting out multiples. Can see applying it to tops and especially like you did for young children's clothes. Thank you and as you said it is also good advice to apply to a lot of areas of your life.
Thanks that was great advice.
Ura, I am glad it was helpful! :)
Great topic! I batch sew when I sew dresses for charity. I even "chain sew" the decorative ribbon on the pockets. When I sew for myself, I typically sew one garment at a time. Space is an issue and the thought of organizing all those pieces makes me dizzy! If I like a garment, I will usually sew another right away with a different sleeve length or neckline.
It's great, I love all your videos . It's just a little difficult because my english isn't good. 😏😏thank's from France. 😘
When I do my test sewing projects I pull out my bin of DAV thrift store sheets that I buy as my muslin fabric. It's cute and can still be worn as an actually garment instead of using muslin fabric. I save my muslin fabric for my linings or slips.
Batch sewing is great, for me the downside is keeping it organized!!!! If you choose to batch sew make a plan and find a rhythm. Sometimes we get in a hurry with batch sewing and it takes on a life of its own.
Happy Friday Alisa, great inspiration as always. Thxs again❤️✂️🧵
Miss Arlene, happy Friday to you as well!!! What have you been working on lately sewing wise? And thank you for always cheering my day with your wonderful messages!
@@ThoughtfulCreativity I haven’t been working on anything these few weeks, due to my teen daughter giving me teen trouble so I’ve been in sad mode. But thx God for the peace of the Lord in the midst of the storm🙏🏽🔥
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Also a dear sister in Christ told me that the Lord spoke to her & said to bless me with the Juki 2010 that I’ve been saving up for, I’m still in shock & amazed how Jesus cares for us. I ordered it on Wednesday & it’s shipped already, can’t wait to make bigger bags soon🙏🏽🔥🧵✂️
@@MadeByTriniLena oh, teenagers... I am so sorry to hear that, but it will pass! We have been teenagers once too ;) congrats on your new Juki, SO EXCITED for you!!! Wow! It is amazing! One day at a time with teenagers and I hope that your mood will brighten up a bit when your Juki arrives!
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Thxs dear, yes we were teens too lol, but this generation are so different, but Jesus is the same🙌🏽. I’m sure it will cheer me up indeed❤️🙏🏽
This is such a good idea. Also where did you get the fabric for your daughters sweater from??
Hi Lisa ??? I am so inspired by your sewing ability and techniques and you make everything simple. I love those blouses /dresses with stripes that have the stripes going in several different directions would you do a tutorial on that?
Hello there, Renee! Oh, those geometric models are great. It is really easy - you can work with what you already have. Take your favorite pattern - just use any of the blouse/dress patterns, instead of working with half of front or half of the back pattern piece you will need to work with a full front and full back pattern piece, mark how you want the geometric pattern to go, cut apart and add seam allowances and ta-da!
Helpful video as always! ❤️ where on earth did you get that insanely adorable baby dragon fabric for your baby girl? I can’t find It and I need It!!! It’s so stinking cute and would make an adorable summer top!
I reinforce and finish all seams so that the bag will last longer
Yes to all of this. I’ve fallen into these traps most recently with cutting out two coat patterns from a coat I never tested. Yikes. Now I feel obligated to finish but thy don’t look great on me. A lot of time invested . It’s heartbreaking and you can end up feeling very defeated rather than very competent. Lol
It's best to test and do a muslin first xx
I have a question and I don’t know if you already have a video on this. Let’s say you alter the front and back bodice armcye. How do you alter the sleeve to compensate for the change of the bodice. I hope you understand what I mean. 🥰 thank you so much
Great question - I don't have a video on this, but a quick answer is that whatever you adjust on a bodice has to be reflected on the sleeve, as you mentioned. It is hard to explain in writing only, hmmm...
I’d like to add to what Alisa said. I have armhole problems because I have sloping shoulders and a forward neck which throws my shoulder ball more forward. (“Hunched” is the word. So what I have to do is cut a portion off the front shoulder seam, about 1/2”, and add it to the back shoulder seam. Then with the sleeve, I move the dot/notch forward the same amount. This rotates the sleeve in the armscye to take care of my shoulder ball being moved forward. You have to ease in the fullness in the front, but it does work.
good morning how are today I wich you a happy life 🌹🌹🌹
Thank you, same to you and yours!
hi where do you bought those pretty fabrics for your daughter? thank you ❤
Hello hello! Most I find at Hobby Lobby or Jo-Ann's and one was sent by a friend from Europe! :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity i have to check out those stores ,my mom usted find it there in the fabric fair's they have in portugal mainland, every month or so (well last year and this they haven't had it ) ,but i will check hobbylobby and joann's to ,thank you ❤❤
HI!!!
Good morning! :)
Yeah... Well... Uhm... I live in the Philippines... And... It's night here...... BUT... GOOOOOD MORNINGGG
If I was going to make a top?
how do you know how much fabric I would need to make my top. I’m plus size person.
Erin, hi! Great question - 1) if you are using a ready made pattern (from store) then it would say it on the back according to your size 2) if you are drafting your own pattern - draft the pattern first, that will tell you how much fabric you will need. Take your measuring tape and measure on the floor the "rectangle" within which your pattern pieces fall. You can also take an existing piece of fabric you have - lay it out and then put your pattern pieces on top of it for a better visual. Keep in mind and don't forget that some pattern pieces are cut on the fold. You can also take your pattern to the store, during not so busy hours and put it right on top of the fabric bolt. That's how I do it if I am not sure! Hope this helps!
I really love your videos and you seem really sweet but your voice sounds cartoonish or something. I’m not trying to be rude, just honest. Your voice is the most unique voice I’ve ever heard on a woman. It’s only when you say certain things though.
Perhaps best to keep comments to the content. Remember she is working in her second or third language
Sorry but this is sooo rude!!! Have you ever heard the saying if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all🤫
