Hey hey party people! I am using a new film editing software (Filmora) for the first time ever! I taught myself, I'm still working out the kinks, so please be kind! Make sure to check the description box, it's full of book info and links!
Editing looks great, I love seeing examples popping up on the screen :) The audio sounds very fleeting for lack of a better word, not sure if it has to do with the software? I wonder if you adjust the levels of your audio, it seems a bit high pitched compared to your voice compared to your live streams for example. your speech is very dynamic which i love, i just wish the volume and quality would be more constant.
Yes, I'm not happy with the sound. I might edit the sound in Audition and add the audio file to Filmora afterwards. The rain did not help. Curious about how it will like my voiceover mic. Thanks for the feedback! Making the popups was fun!
I would recommend using a canon camera for video recording it’s great for longer videos and high quality resolution maybe when you start a pattern making video it’ll be great.
The learning is in the doing! That is the best advice I have ever heard lol. You have a way of teaching that makes a person want to learn more and more. I am so glad I found you :) Wondering if you delve into the dark side and do corsets?
If only we had you as a professor at my college. I dreaded going to my fashion classes 😓 We would love it, if you started a whole series on pattern making. The course that I took when I was in college was God awful. It was the professors first year of teaching and I barely passed. I would gladly support you on patreon. ❤️
I would love love love a video over sleeve pattern drafting! Everywhere always talks about sleeve cap ease and I remember your conversation with Kathleen about the BS of that notion.
A video on designing the insides of garments would be super helpful! We learn a lot aesthetics and what the outside is going to look like, but often those ideas are hard to execute without a solid understanding of what needs to go into the under structures and linings.
Thanks for another great video Zoe! I am a beginner at sewing and I always learn a lot with your chanel. The video about linning and sleeves definitely will help! Thanks for all your support. Warm regards from Munich :)
Just want to say thank you so much! I actually stumbled upon your vids after getting interested in sewing clothes, I have done small stuff like bags, etc. Also the fashion figure ones helped me improve my sketching people (I do trad and digital arts but still find it hard to get the anatomy right and clothes draping so I always do a more stylized thing). I now have long term project, designing my wedding dress! Will be getting married in 2024, and I want to be able to sketch it myself and choose the fabrics in a way that makes it easier as well for the sew shop to materialize exactly like how I imagine it.
YES to a video about linings. also I'd love a video about WARMTH- what materials/fabrics do you use for certain temperature ranges and things like that. like say it's a 5 degree winter day out in new york city, what would be a good shell/interfacing/lining combo to handle that weather.
Amazing amount of learning. Thank you so much for these “learning is in the doing” reference, I’m certainly finding this as a newbie sewer. You are the best for teaching and explaining!
A friend of mine gave me an adjustable form that I am very grateful for, but it is frustrating when I practice pattern draping. Now it is more of a glorified coat rack. Awesome video, Zoe, stay safe and sane!
I learned essentially the same method for preparing for easing, but one row of basting stiches is on one side of the seam line, and the other row is on the OTHER side. I think this helps control unwanted pleating when you do the final stitching.
Great information. I believe they need fit profiles for smaller sizes as well. I am a size 8/10 and have yet to find pants to fit my fuller thighs. The blocks companies use to make garments should have different blocks for waist and hips. It would give parts of the population a fighting chance to find RTW garments that fit. I have heard of some companies using the same block for every style of pants they make. That's great if the block fits, if not you are in a long wait until they move on from that block.
Your videos are so straight forward and no bs - love it. Like the teacher I've never had lol Actually inspired me to start making my own samples and patterns rather than getting them made offshore. Thank you for everything you do.
Really enjoyed this video. I like that you were direct and to the point. Alot of info in a short period of time. Yes, I would like to see a video on linings. I use silk for my linings as poly is just to hot and conducts electricity and I can't stand the shocks I get when turning a light on! Thanks again!
Hey Zoe! I would really appreciate a video about linings - particularly fabric weights for different lining purposes, such as a nice silk lining and a warm cashmeere.
As someone with experience in graphic design, and experience with Adobe Illustrator since version 4, Affinity Designer has all the capabilities of Illustrator, I actually switched over to it recently. The workflows of the two programs are quite a bit different though, but you'll probably manage to learn Illustrator in the 30day trial period after learning on a different vector based illustration application.
I LOVE YOU, ZOE! I really do ❤ I'm absolutely obsessed with your videos. So much value & so entertaining, at the same time! Your videos are seriously like a treasure to me. Thank you so much. You can't imagine how grateful I am. P.S.: I would love a video about linings. :)
#The learning is in the doing. If the first one sucks you’re probably doing it right. 😊Thank you( I needed that☺️). I would love a video on sleeves, you are so informative. I thank you for sharing. Also I request a trifold video on patterns grading. What is the real difference between professional patterns and home sew patterns. Lastly (self taught ) I dedicate at least five hours a day to sew however I’m looking to push my self to better order and wondering a good skills set checklist a kind of a what every pattern maker / designer /sower needs to know ( I except homework 📚🤗 )
Hi ! first of all tysm for all the resources you provide us with, so far there hasn't been a single video of yours I didn't learn something from, and I really appreciate that :) could you please talk about shirt collar/cuff construction? also, I have a hard time getting dresses to sit right on the waist so if you could talk about dress construction that would be great!
Thanks so much for this video, Zoe! I learnt a lot. I wanted to ask if you were going to continue the pattern making series w/ Myriah? I remember one of you mentioning that you guys might do a "making an outfit" from the pattern video. That'd be really helpful. Cannot thank you enough for all the knowledge you've provided already. Love from India.
Thanks so much for this video! I would like to see a video on darts. More specifically finishing them the couture way. I read they are cut open but I'm curious is how they are reinforced to be prevent fraying. The book i was reading didnt seem to cover that.
Could you make a video on how to take a randomly draped shape on a dressform and turn in into a pattern? I have been looking everywhere but cannot find any information about it. How do fashion houses do it when they drape those crazy shapes full of volume?
I know this video is from 2 years ago but I was wondering about what types of fabric would be best for curvier women who do have curves and rolls and dips. You briefly mentioned that we should use something higher quality but didn't give any examples. Thank you!
If you want something that will skim over your "rolls and dips", you'll want something thicker, more substantial, to fall over your curves. Specific fabric choices depends on what you're making but generally thicker is better.
Best Fashion reference on UA-cam by far! Maybe the entire scope of the internet. I’ve watched a great deal of your videos and I don’t think I’ve come across look book tips/tutorials. I’m in the process of creating one but not sure what all to include. Have any suggestions or do you feel look books are straightforward? P.S. you’re so necessary, thanks for dropping knowledge.
Look books or line sheets? Linesheets are more technical and I have a video about them in my Garment Construction playlist. Look books are clean booklets/online layouts with clean photos that emphasize showing off the construction.
Zoe Hong I'm creating a collection and wanted to include a look book for the potential buyers/customers. While thinking of concepts for the look book my brain wants to incorporate other things that may not be necessary. Then again, I don't know what's required.
Hi, Zoe. Great vid, as per always. I would like to learn about industrial/mass production sewing, specifically order of (sewing) operations. I know if you're pattern making for production it's important to know the sewing steps. (Obvs the steps are different for different garments, soft goods, etc.) Can you recommend a reference for this info? Thanks!
Hey Zoe! I know you always mention that you don't talk about things you don't know about so if possible, could you please bring someone in to talk about grading?
Mam plxxxx make a video on textile designing because I M confused about what to take in future ,. How both designer actually do in their work after graduation..... Humble request
On plus size: You nailed it on all points. Lumps and rolls are a thing. Stretch fabric fits more bodies. But it often makes humans, who have flesh and fat, which is poorly approximated by a dress form of any shape, look like walking balls of flesh and fat. People don’t buy clothes that make them look bad. Or they buy one piece, because they need it, and never seek your brand out again. People spend the maximum their budget allows for, on clothing that makes them look and feel good. They seek your brand out again. They budget for buying another one of those magical garments. Make me feel comfortable and confident in your clothes, and I will keep buying. Edit: And give me pockets. The pockets that can’t be designed into garments because they’re cheap, thin, stretch knit which makes me look lumpy, are much easier to design into the structured the garments using sturdier fabric - which you’re using to avoid the lumpy look. So just put them in.
@@zoehongteaches Getting into a fashion shool is really a tough thing out here. Discovering you was the best thing. My progress seems pretty slow without a degree but you're of great help. I truly thank you for that.

It's something that's on my mind, it's a bit of a filming logistics issue, but I am thinking about it!
I also would LOVE for a pattern making series. I've learned so much just from Zoe's videos already so a pattern making series would top it off! :)
Yes please, I'd like a video all about Lining. Especially Lining for stretch sheer fabrics and finishings. Thank you Zoe 😊
Linings video? YES!!!
I would love love love a video over sleeve pattern drafting! Everywhere always talks about sleeve cap ease and I remember your conversation with Kathleen about the BS of that notion.
there' s so many different layouts, i found 2 that work especially for the elbow bend
I'm confused. Sleeve cap ease is BS?
I have sleeve lessons in my video.
@@pharaoh9089 It is not. I have explained that in my sleeve videos.
A video on lining would be sooo great.
"The learning is in the doing" - I just gonna frame it and hang above my work space!
Yes! Drafting sleeves! That would be a great video :)
A video on designing the insides of garments would be super helpful! We learn a lot aesthetics and what the outside is going to look like, but often those ideas are hard to execute without a solid understanding of what needs to go into the under structures and linings.
Linings and structures are different and would require different videos, but I'll ask people in the lining video.
Thanks for another great video Zoe!

Gathering in a princess seam is something new for me. Will try it on my current project after I do all the prep.
The lighting in this video is flawless.
Amazing amount of learning. Thank you so much for these “learning is in the doing” reference, I’m certainly finding this as a newbie sewer. You are the best for teaching and explaining!
I love your videos, Zoe. You are a great teacher and fun.❤️
A lining video would be amazing!! ❤️
if you do not already have a sleeve pattern video, I would love one! I will be looking around your channel, or waiting patiently. love your work, Zoe!
I have one! Check my most recent vids.
Yes please make a lining video! I've been searching for more knowledge on linings 😪
A friend of mine gave me an adjustable form that I am very grateful for, but it is frustrating when I practice pattern draping. Now it is more of a glorified coat rack.
Awesome video, Zoe, stay safe and sane!
You too!
The technical lessons work very well. Super understandable and allowed for me too see where my mistakes are.
I learned essentially the same method for preparing for easing, but one row of basting stiches is on one side of the seam line, and the other row is on the OTHER side. I think this helps control unwanted pleating when you do the final stitching.

Yes, silks like habotai make great linings, especially for silk shells. I HATE when the self is silk and the lining is poly.
@@zoehongteaches Me too!

I would love a video about lining. Also the different between interlining and interfacing
This is really informative! Thank you so much!
You Rock!!! I love listening to your videos as I sew. Thank you😘
Flashback to school, funny I need some microwave popcorn right now. Thanks for the walk down memory lane!
I swear u r such treasure informations for every designer😩💕
Zoe, this was brilliant. Im on lock down and itching to drape and sew. This solved a number of my problems.
Yes sleeve drafting video

Another reason why a seam may pucker is because the one side tension of the fabric may be tighter than the other side.

Designers don't grade. The little pattern I made for interfacing is an example of a professional pattern piece.

Hey Zoe could you please do a video on care labels and how they are produced for garments? The whole test washing process I mean x
Your best bet is to contact a wash house and a label company like CBF labels.
Could you make a video on how to take a randomly draped shape on a dressform and turn in into a pattern? I have been looking everywhere but cannot find any information about it. How do fashion houses do it when they drape those crazy shapes full of volume?
