    Seriously, you are my new BFF! Watching your videos has given me confidence to sew for my daughter. Thank you for including your "hiccups" with the sleeve hem; it really helped me see how to make a nice hem, as I have been intimidated to work with knit fabrics! (We all learn from our mistakes!!) Happy sewing!

    Kia ora from New Zealand. I have recently started watching uour UA-cam videos. I love watching you sewing your projects. I have just made this dress. Such an easy make. I used interfacing on the sleeves and hem and a twin needle which worked just fine. I have now subscribed to your channel.

    @dwighthill58 5 років тому

    When you have a serger you just will automatically finish your seams. To me the garment just looks better. You are such a good teacher, I have been sewing for over 60 years and you use the same methods I do. Love your channel .

    I make a very similar knit dress and I uske a twin needle for the hems and cuffs and round the neck. This gives a nice straight stitch but is still stretchy.

    You could serge the edges of the sleeves and then make a narrow hem.

  • @laurajones4088
    @laurajones4088 5 років тому

    Great sew along for such a cute dress, Brittany! Thanks for including the links for serging/sewing darts. I generally always use interfacing for knit hems and when top stitching with a straight stitch, increase the stitch length to 3.0 or 3.5. I like finishing the seams when sewing knits, too. The finish looks more professional and I feel it helps the garment last longer.

  • @barbararodriguez5685

    So, I made my hubby simple elastic waist pj pants. I used the finished garment measurements for his waist and hips. Y’all, they were HUGE! Everywhere! I had to rip it all out and make a small all around! Maybe the muslin fabric idea is best??? I have a hard time with my clothes, too!

    Brittany, your sewing skills are great and your clothes look really good on you. I have a suggestion. Look at your back piece in process. Wouldn’t it look so much better if you omitted the back seam?? Cut it on the fold instead of two separate pieces.

  • @lisamoore5671
    @lisamoore5671 5 років тому

    Love your video! Here's a Tip - use a bodkin instead of a safety pin. They are much easier to use to pull elastic through a casing. There are alot of different ones - I like the metal ones with teeth to grip the elastic and a ring to close the bodkin onto the elastic. I have had safety pins open up inside the casing and it is no fun to solve.
