When I used to sew, I actually did a lot of "basting" or hand sewing on things that were more difficult, such as zippers and puffed sleeves. "Basting" is actually a large hand stitching to keep things in place while you permanently sew with the machine. Then, after machine stitching, you take out the "basting" stitch.

I really enjoyed this video. The one thing I'd suggest is making necessary adjustments to the paper pattern prior to cutting. I will also make a "dummy" garment of calico or old fabric to check the fit first. It only took me 45 years to learn that. Happy sewing everyone!

I like your style of teaching. You're funny and knowledgeable. The pace is better than hysterical speed. Thanks.

I'm the same, but no one ever tried to teach me how to sew and I'm only 19. I'm starting to sew with linen bias cut camisole/slip. It is an undergarment, so I'm free to piece and sequeze as much as I can from the fabric. I'm trying to fit 3 slips in 2½ yards. I could fit as much as 4 if it was straight grain, but bias should be better, so I'm going for it

Thank you!! This was so helpful-- and thank goodness you mentioned that sometimes you have to use the same piece twice. I thought I was missing a piece in my pattern. Quick question: the pattern layout I have shows the pattern laying in such a way that it would be face down. Can that be right? I mean, it must be right because that's how the diagram is but it seems weird.

@LTRLTrendFashnGuru

4 жыл бұрын

Hi LAM, thanks for watching .... glad I could help! Yes, the pattern can be shown as face down when your fabric is all facing up (not folded as sewn in the video). There can be pattern layouts that show right side up (which is the case for asymmetrical patterns), but if there is one one piece in the pattern that is symmetrical (as might be the the case for your pattern) this will mean the pattern needs to be cut face up and face down in order for you to have the opposite piece. Hopefully that sheds some light on your dilemma. Feel free to follow me on instagram at @ltrltrend and DM me personally if you have any further questions! Happy sewing

Thank you for the video. I couldn’t figure out why cutting the fabric was the hardest part for me. I’m left-handed and wasn’t using left-handed fabric scissors. 🙈 I’ve always used regular scissors despite my dominant hand being left, but turns out it is very important for cutting fabric. 😂

You are correct! The grain line is parallel with the selvage edge and in this video I show you how to line that up the selvage even if you are cutting your piece on the folded edge. And not to worry, this is a VERY common beginner mistake (speaking from experience... I have done this myself). Keep practicing! Thanks so much for watching.

Thanks for watching! In order to preserve all 4 sizes, copy thw pattern you need with a separate piece of tracing paper (make sure to get wide enough paper in order to do this without having to tape pieces together). It's annoy to have to do this, but if you want to keep the other patterns intact, than this is about the only possible way. Best of luck!

@LTRLTrendFashnGuru

Thanks for your question! Best top to cutting is professional fabric cutting scissors, making sure they are SHARP and never using thwm for paper..AND, while you are cutting make sure that you are keeping the scissors on the tabletop this will help you cut with more stability. And try to take long drags of the scissors rather than little snips. Also depending on the fabric you are using (i.e. chiffon, rayon, light-weight jersey knits, polyester georgette, satin...any light-weight "shifty" fabric) you can use a "toothy" tissue paper underneath your fabric to help stop shifting while cutting. Hope that is helpful - best of luck and Happy sewing!

When you have to fold together a fabric with a (for example) flower pattern on one side, do you have to fold it so the flower pattern is on the outside or the inside ?

@LTRLTrendFashnGuru

4 жыл бұрын

Very good question! Cutting out patterns is a completely different process (as I may have mentioned in the beginning of the video cutting out patterns are something more advanced - and I hope to be doing a video on it soon). But my suggestion is, depending on the size of the flower (if its small, like a pixie print) than you can cut it fairly similar to what I show in the video right sides or wrong sides together doesn't matter. If you have a big print and you would like to place the prints accurately on the body shape than cut right sides up - and cut all pieces WITHOUT folding your fabric - NOT folding will give you more control on where your print is being placed and you can also match the motif at the side seams (kinda like wallpapering?). Anyways, hope that helps! Happy sewing
