This video is just perfect!! Love it

So helpful! Thank you 🙏🏼

Great job 👏🏽

nice tutorial, will be making this soon!

This was a great tutorial. It helped me add a zipper to my husband’s pullover hoodie. Now I’m going to dig out the other hoodie I put in timeout because the neck hole was just a little too small. Thank you!

THANK YOU!!, BEAUTIFUL LADY, for this GREAT tutorial. You are an EXCELLENT instructor. You have given this relatively new, male sewist the confidence to believe I can make this 1/4 zip sweater.😊😊

Thank you for this tutorial. I have a pattern but I always think its a good idea to see what to expect. Pattern instructions often assume knowledge. So thanks again. Love the explanations

I just started Simplicity S9328 knit dress, with 1/4 zip, today. Although I'm an experienced sewer I knew immediately the zip would be fiddley. Your video was just what I need. Thanks!!

I'm glad it helped you ❤ finishing zips beautifully is always a tricky task!

This is so good! I have a wonderful fitting but old and dirty hoodie that I now can copy and since I'm breastfeeding I will let the zipper go a but further. Thank you!

Aw thank you! I had to look up what a Breckenrisge Henley is 😬 but it looks like a style I would wear so I will have to give it a cracking soon! ❤

Hey thanks so much for this! I started making one by hand last year (didn't have a machine at the time) just by approximations and gave up after the body and arm so now I can go back and finish it! I do have a question though... What paper are you using to create your stencils?

Pleasure! Hope yours turns out well. I have an old stash of patten making paper since I used to work in the industry, but now I've run out and I just use butchers paper or whatever rolls of brown paper I can find easily 🤗

Thanks! I'm using French Terry fabric. If you look that up you should be able to find many stockists depends on where you live!

what are the green markings on the front armhole and front and back neck? And were they included when you traced the final pattern piece?

@SlewLiving

The green highlighter markings are my 1cm seam allowances 😊 Remember to add seam allowances to all final pattern pieces!

Can you please let me know what stitch you use for top stitching, is it a regular straight stitch or special stretch stitch

@SlewLiving

I used a regular straight stitch for this top stitching because I only top stitched areas that didn't require a lot of stretch 😊

Is there a way to make the 1/4 zipped sweater into a full zipped sweater ?

@SlewLiving

2 жыл бұрын

There is! It would be easier to do a full zip than a 1/4 zip, if you watch a video on how to sew a full zip it'll help you 👌

Hello! I am not sure on how to draw the back facing piece, could you please help me? :)

Where did you buy your fabric?!

I purchased this cotton terry from Draper's Fabrics in their Melbourne store. They do have an online store too!

How much fabric did you use for your sweater?

@SlewLiving

Жыл бұрын

I can't remember exactly but I think it was just on 1 metre!

How much fabric do I need for that?

@SlewLiving

Жыл бұрын

It depends on the width of the fabric and the size of the jumper being made, but roughly 2yards should be an estimation only!

how much of fabric we need?

@SlewLiving

6 ай бұрын

It depends on how wide the fabric you are purchasing is and what size you are planning to sew. I recommend watching the instructions and use your existing garment as a template to estimate how much fabric you will require.

Would u say this is beginner friendly? I’ve never sewn a top😅

@SlewLiving

I would say it's not beginner friendly unfortunately! For beginners I would recommend a jumper with no zips no buttons no fastenings, so that you can learn how to sew the fabric first!
