Welcome to my Channel! If you're a new beginner who's interested in step-by-step, very detailed sewing tutorials, you've landed in the right place. I know what it's like to watch videos where important steps are omitted. I know what it's like to jump for joy when you find a video that walks you through the steps from A to Z. I'm here to help you. In order to follow along with the tutorials, you must have basic sewing skills. If you haven't learned to sew yet, check out my online course, LEARN TO SEW, MASTERING THE BASICS. In the sewing course, I walk you through a more in-depth training of learning how to sew your own garments, diving deeper into the basic skills with lots of details. Click the link below to get information about the course.

I invite you to subscribe to my channel and TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS so that you don't miss out when new videos are posted. Also, feel free to comment on and share the videos with your friends.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Hi Anita, I am waiting for my new cover stitch machine to arrive. I didn’t get a babylock but I’m sure these examples will help tremendously. I cannot wait for it to get here. I’ve watched for a few days now for some videos to prepare for my new friend but no one explained how/where to line up the fabric and explained that the key is to ensure your folded fabric is even (and cut straight) all the way from end to end like you did. I sew with mostly knits so I can’t wait!

    Your tutorials are THE best! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us here on You Tube. I have a question about sizing when working with knits. Accordingly to the pattern sizing on the package I would be a size 12. Do you usually size down when working with knits? Last time I made a knit dress is was quite baggy and I’ve heard it is good to size down so you have negative ease. I would love your suggestions about this.

  • @AnitabyDesign
    @AnitabyDesign8 күн бұрын

    I always choose my patterns based on the finished measurements. With knit garments, if I want a snug fit, I choose a size that will give me negative ease.

    I am excited to find this tutorial! It just popped up in my feed out of nowhere. I quilt, not sew garments, but I also just learned English smocking. I had no idea JoAnn fabrics sold smocked fabric. With my sewing experience, making this dress will be no problem with your great tutorial. I may also try to add some smocking design to the front of the dress if the material lends itself to that. So thank you!

    Yes, as I mentioned at the beginning of the video, this tutorial assumes you have basic sewing skills in order to follow the sew along. The press cloth is something I teach my students about when they're learning to sew.It prevents scorching and water spots depositing onto your fabric should your iron leak.

I'm wondering if I should see the vertical seam, then raise the lower portion up (without cutting it off just yet) then use the surger, with a cutting attachment to secure.. are there any tips to doing this, that you can think of? 🙏❤️
