    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @DrkNSwt
      @DrkNSwt 10 років тому

      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?

    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!!

    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.
