    Hey guys! I’ve been made aware of the technical issues at the end of the 19th tip. So sorry about that. Not sure exactly what happened as it is perfect on my computer. I’m going to be making a short with the 19-20 tips. My apologies! 😅

    I like the technique used for patching jeans, i.e. matching thread, sewing in direction of weave, etc. Very helpful. I'm so glad you are back and truly enjoying the e-course.

    Using color matching thread..
    I've also used shades of gray thread to give a shadow effect!
    Save scraps "Golden Rules" for sewing!
    Following existing needle holds!
    My sweetheart bought me a clap on light/ magnifying light!

  • @creativitybycarilyn6634
    @creativitybycarilyn6634 Рік тому +5

    Very nice tips!! Reusing thread is a great tip that I could have benefitted from many times over. I also really like the idea of saving your hem scraps to repair hems. I recently had to extend the length of a pants and used flannel material to make a contrasting cuff on the edge of the pants. It came out nice, but not everyone wants a contrast color on their hem and having some hem scraps would have been nice. I've been buying clothes from Temu lately and I am finding that some of the items seem to be sewing mistakes or they are not finished very well. I had to fix a swimsuit from the crotch taking out 5 inches very similar to how you take up shoulder straps. Once that was taken out, the butt of the swimsuit was in the proper position with proper coverage, instead of looking like a thong.

    • @DowntownTailoring

    • @DowntownTailoring
      @DowntownTailoring  Рік тому +1

      Hi! You might have a leg shorter than the other. It is important that you mesure both legs for your pants. And for your dress you should measure as it’s shown on the video from the floor and up. Cheers 🥰
