I'm so glad that you are doing a "sew along" type video! This is really fun and I am looking forward to part 2!😄

[@miiol7018]

really excited for this!! love the way you explain things. also I have to admit that my first immediate thought when seeing the keyhole design was "wow just like the one Spock cuts into Jim's shirt in Amok Time!" 😂😅

[@marlphil]

This is great! I am a fairly new sewer and I'm just getting into garment construction. I'm excited to follow along. I know there are other channels out there doing a similar approach but your videos are so well produced and so watchable!

[@davederrick9431]

I think you are most definitely command 😊

[@oh_k8]

This has always been my goal.😍

So excited to see the finished garment! I've always been afraid of not using *exactly* matching fabric types. The drape/heaviness of the red doesn't seem to be the same as the black.
