Mimi... you are an exceptional teacher! You need your own TV show. If they can spend all day teaching people how to flip burgers on TV... they definitely need shows teaching people how to make their own clothes. I would LOVE IT! If anybody is in a position to hook Mimi up with a TV show.... don't hesitate... this girl is GOOD!
I loved doing this in college. I was just saying how I needed to start making my own clothes. I always have ideas and can't find them in stores. You're great for showing people how to sew.
I love the way you do your tutorials. You're always very informative and you explain every step of the way the how's and why's for each technique. I can't wait to try this project !
Keep up the great work Mini. Here is a tip you can use when self measuring for skirt or pants length. I hold the tapeline upside down to where I want the length of the skirt or pants to be, then I hold the tapeline against my waist keeping my fingers on what ever number fall against my waist as the tape is upside down. This give me a great visual and accurate length of the length of my skirt or pants.
great tutorial! i am an extremely visual person and could see myself getting lost on the neck piece going by pattern instructions alone :) u have inspired me to buy and try this pattern- thank you!
Thank you my young sister. I am an experienced pattern seamtress and have to lengthen patterns because I am 5'10" but would not have purchased an pattern not my size. Today, with a pattern that only went up to 18 (im a 16 but a 20 according to Burda charts) and I made a new larger pattern from this. The dress is crazy easy once sized correctly and cut. Only one adjustment was needed. Wearing next week on formal night on a cruise to Jamaica, with a pair of nude pumps. I made dress right along side with you. Great video. Thank you again.
Thanks so much for explaining pattern sizes, I thought I was crazy because my size was never my size. I will start going by my measurements now. I am still a beginner but I am really enjoying this new hobby.
What happens when the pattern doesn't come in your size? Is there a way to use the pattern and adjust for your actual measurements? I'm sure it is, I guess the real question is how to use the pattern and adjust for ur real measurements! Anybody know?
Oooooh I'm making this next! Thanks Mimi! BTW, I ain't lying every time I watch your tutorial videos and that machine knots and cut that thread!!!! Chileeee I scream lmao
Mimi you inspire me, Can you believe my mom sew, but not clothes and i wasn't interested at all, and now, well living far now, I want to dress nice, and put my own ideas to dress myself like really I want to
Great DIY Mimi. Can you do a convertible dress DIY? Have you considered hosting your annual event twice a year so more people can attend? By the time I found and fell in love with your channel the event was already sold out. Please consider the idea! Thanks
Hi Mimi - I hope all is well. As always, love love love your tutorials - so inspirational and educational. I know this pattern is from the vault 😊…but checking to see if anyone has this Burda 7065 pattern. It’s a classic and definitely my favorite. I made a rendition of it from scratch by watching your video but I would still prefer to have the actual pattern. Any recommendations on where to purchase it? I have searched everywhere. Thanks in advance and take care!!
I Love the pencil skirt and the dress and want to know if you got the patterns over the counter, I would like to purchase the dress pattern.cute for the holidays help.
Contact Oprah, the mayor somebody! You need your own show!!!!!! Asap! I am trying to learn to sew! I love to thrift, coupon now I need to master sewing. New subbie, and I follow you on Facebook. I think I do in the Gram too. Thank you for sharing.
I could not find the pattern you used for this tutorial. I bought a similar Simplicity 4561 pattern instead. However, it is a Jr. Trend size (not my size at all). Can you do a tutorial on upsizing knit jersey pattern?
hello mimi I am new to the your site and also to sewing as well I Iove your work. I was wondering if you have instructions on how to sew from you previous designs.
I ALREADY HAVE MY 3 T'SHIRTS TO TRY AND DIY AND I PLAN ON DOING THIS TO JUST NOT SURE WHEN I SAVED THE VIDEO TO MY FAVORITES THAT WAY WHEN IM READY I CAN DO IT
Awesome dress, looks fabulous on you. However, I would love to see this dress made in off the shoulder. Also maybe in a trim around the top and bottom. A stunning midi dress just as classy for Fair Grounds.
Hi Mimi I am a first time subscriber to your channel.Love your channel. I was wondering is there anywhere out there where i can still get this pattern Burda 7065. Thanks
Do you have a video on making your patterns larger? I recently bought 7 of you patterns due and found that three were the wrong size and I don't live in that town to return them. The patterns are 1115, 1016, and 1159. I planned on making one to wear this weekend but it's it the right size.
I'm just curious, are you a self taught sewer, or did you take classes? You do really good quality work and if all these skills can be self taught that's excellent!
Hi MiMi. Can you please assist me in locating this pattern. I only say it on ebay in the UK. Is there anywhere in america I can find it. Can anyone recommend somewhere online. Thank you
Hola mimi te sigo desde hace una semana y este vestido me encanto pero no se ingles y pues no capto bien lo q dices solo lo q puedo ver me gustaria q pusieras subtitulos en ESPAÑOL a todos tus videas gracias!!!
can you do tutorials without using patterns, also when you use the pattern to cut can you lay out the pieces that you cut so that we can see if ours look like yours
