I appreciate seeing how to repair a mistake. I am a beginner sewer and I find this type of video helpful and also encouraging, in that I can see that mistakes can happen to anyone. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so glad you fixed that .I was needing a refresher course and that sure didn’t look right .the repair job made much more sense and I was successful in being refreshed on gussets
Not a square...a diamond. Makes so much sense and matches up with the other seams so much better. Love the floof moments. Sweet kitten. Thanks for sharing your fix with us.
Thank you my young friend for owning up to and correcting a mistake in public. I’m a newbie sewist about to add my first underarm gusset to a shirt that’s a bit tight. I’m 50-something and totally confused about how to draft it. Again thanks!! ❤️ Edit: My first effort looks like a giant underarm tumor. Starting over. Sigh.
Its funny how seemingly little things can become big problems, but I love the coarser linen you used to make the shift it really gives it a historical look.
Ahh I want to both widen my sleeve AND add a gusset but adding the widening piece of fabric under the arm would mean a rather strange shape gusset with a square bottom? Maybe it's possible but i dont want to ruin my garment in the process!
I've never done it that way before. I think there would normally be a side seam if you were installing a gusset, but if for some reason you don't, I would guess you just find the center fold and then cut to make an indentation where the gusset could be installed.
The basic historical costuming stitches are: the running stitch (the weakest - often used for basting), the running back stitch (a little stronger - but fast), the back stitch (very strong), and the folded felling stitch (for seams). You sewed the gusset with a running stitch, in an area of the shift that should probably be stitched with a back stitch because it gets a lot of stress. You might want to go back over the gussets with a back stitch? Then you might want to fell the seams? Your repair job looks very good otherwise. See: ua-cam.com/video/B5tC06IXOKc/v-deo.html

Thank you, I agree the corrected version is much better.
Excellent! Gussets ARE confusing. I've sewn dozens and they still make my brain go **EEEKK** when I attack the first one.
This was the first one I had ever done and my brain was like "what on earth is this?!?!"
Informative and adorable. Thank you miss.

What if the side panel has no side seam..how we can attach the gusset then?
