Simplicity 8595 is as simple as this dress for the person who commented about not wanting to show her arms however the way you did this dress taught me something new I never thought about using the elastic for the neckline or the arm holes that is beautiful. I'm definitely going to be making this I'm going to cut it out today I have the pattern and I have some lovely units. Thanks for a wonderful video .

Hi Catherine, I've been struggling for over week on a dart that starts at the side seam on an upward slant to the bust. Could you do a video on repositioning and/or adapting darts to individual figures? Especially determining individual bust apex and bust span differences from markers on the pattern. The patterns I use are generally my go-to for minimal fitting issues but this dart thing has me stumped. My measurements indicate that the B cup is correct but I keep getting a bump at the bust point and I'm quite frustrated. I've narrowed and/or shortened to change the end point and even considered re-cutting and moving the dart to the shoulder. Thank-you for all your wonderful videos. I view them over and over for the amazing knowledge you share.

I can’t even begin to tell you how your videos have impacted my sewing! I LOVE recycling of any kind, but am not a trained seamstress. You gave me the courage and inspiration to try any alterations an try and try again if my end product is less then desirable. I’m so proud of the few items I’ve recycled so far, and have enjoyed the process immensely. I always think “ what would Catherine do ? “ anytime I’m floundering…thank you thank you so much for sharing your wealth of experience with us through your love and passion for what u do. ❤❤❤

Catherine, you do the most amazing alterations and your final result always looks professional! Good job and thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'm not sure I'm brave enough to try what you do, but I enjoy learning from you. I also have a favorite small embroidery/sewing scissors - the Gingher lightweight embroidery scissors - and they are a little bit cheaper on Amazon than the Zwilling scissors. They look very similar. Thanks again for all the great content!

I usually fit McCall's size 14 so I did cut the medium back and front on the fold top and skirt, it turned out a perfect fit. Thank you for this video, M7386 is a great pattern for knits. I also added short bell sleeves, it's more versatile and so comfortable.

I do this without super stretching the sock while sewing. I don't get the decorative ruffle edge but it makes sock SO much more comfortable. I use the server, but a zigzag would work. Great for diabetics, edema (pregnancy and other edema) and thick or swollen ankles. Great technique for "sleep socks", too. Thank you for getting the word out. Hope you put this in one of your regular videos too, so lots of people will see it. It was a life changer, increasing daily comfort, when I stumbled on the idea.

I’d love a version with bigger bust if you can find one. Being a JJ it’s very difficult to adjust patterns to fit so a sloper would be great. I’ve tried a few different tutorials but they never work out. Maybe woven fabrics just aren’t for me 😂

When you're basting you can use a different color thread so it's easier to see. Because the basted thread will always be removed. I never thought of that myself but it occurred to me while watching you.
