Brillliant!

Excellent tutorial. 👍

Well said!!! Clothes should be made to fit our bodies, not the other way round 😊

Oooh boy.. I need to watch more of your stuff❤❤

Oh my goodness! I just tried it on a garment that was giving me trouble and it worked first time, easily, perfectly and took no time at all. It was like magic! It's the neatest set-in sleeve I've ever done. I still have the other one to do, but I am really, really pleased. Thank you.

Haha! I don't like cutting the fabric 😉 I like everything else on your pie chart: the design, drafting the pattern, and especially the sewing. I don't even mind the pressing! It's just cutting the fabric I'm not so keen on. I think it's because at every other stage you can recover from a mistake - you can unpick a seam, you can even unpick a button hole if you haven't cut it yet. But once you've cut your fabric, there's no going back... 🤷‍♀️

You say helping “women” but what about men who sew?

Thank you, appreciate this very much. Also, you have the most amazing skin, so envious!

I actually thought the cutouts are a really good idea if you put a scarf under the collar and insert it from below through the cutouts...

THANK YOU!!, BEAUTIFUL LIZA. This relatively new male sewist appreciates this valuable tip.😊 👍

Excellent information 👌

Thankyou so much for demystifying the creative process, It’s so empowering to see that I can do this too .

Wonderful thank you

Thank you this was so helpful and right to the point.

Os dois❤

Generally I am skeptical of TH-cam videos. The comments tend to be positive and appreciative no matter how bad the video is! But this… your teaching method is perfect! Thank you!

Fibres: wool, linnen, cotton, silk, maybe viscose, and the rest are all various kinds of plastic (yes even “bamboo”). Fabrics: plain weave, twill (like jeans, it has diagonal lines), and satin, which skips multiple threads before connecting back into the base fabric; and then there is knit fabric aka Jersey. After that come all the fancy names for more specific weaves, or specific variants of what has been done to fibres pre weave, or during or post. This is where the confusion comes in because not everyone understand the first two basic lessons. (I didn’t either until I took weaving lessons when in my fifties).

Hi Lisa, can u pls make a vid on body shape that have small chest but big tummy n butt cheek. I also have big forearm n am 5’4”. 80kg. I have difficulty finding clothes that fit me beautifully. What fashion wud you think suits me better? I am also learning to sew a dress but hav yet to actually make one officially in case I waste the material.😬 what kind of material best to buy for practice purposes? Thank you.🙏

I have been working almost every evening since watching this wonderful course and keep coming to an impasse re the back. I've made blocks with different SF and the back is always too low for me and I can't figure out how to alter this. If I go higher at the waist 3-4 inches up it is good but I can't sew it as it become a big round-doesn't lay flat, etc-using a tunnel for the elastic. Crossing my fingers someone here can tell me how to proceed. thanks

Thank you so much!

I just had to take a moment to thank you for this incredible playlist on pattern drafting and sewing underwear. The techniques and the way you've structured the class are truly inspiring. Your dedication and effort in creating such clear and detailed tutorials mean so much to me. I’ve learned so much, and it’s all thanks to your hard work. You’re truly making a difference.

What is the stitch length you use for crimping? Should we use longer lengths like 4mm or regular 2.5mm?

Thank you for this video it help me understand better cutting patterns smarter to fit my body.youre truly awesome 👍

I love the sleeves. This is something you can wear when you don't have to be doing practical things. I would take the collar off and trim it back to a smaller pointy collar without the decorative eyelets. I think this could have benefitted from seeing buttons rather than a hidden button placket, but it's OK. I would add a 1.5" or so waistband with a little ease at the waist and use your sleeve fitting trick to ease the jacket into the waistband and definitely add a large button. Perhaps take just a little off the length of the sleeves or re-position the buttons to cinch in the cuffs. It's really the arms on this that make it. The collar, not so much. I love Japanese-style clothing and the body of this has that vibe, but simple things are often the hardest ones to pull off.

Such a wonderful video! Thank you! I will immediately send it through to my granddaughter, who shares the same passion for sewing as her gran! 😄

BRAVA!!!!!!!🎉❤🎉❤

Thank u so much, this is what I needed

Thank you for this amazing course (Im on test pair nr 3 and its looking good) and the opportunity to see how your other courses work.

THANKYOU THIS IS AMAZING

It's not working well for me. Is it only certain fabric types that it works for? I've got thinner fabrics than what I think you are using, and I get very little crimping. It's there but just slight, nowhere near as much as you are getting.

I dont think Ive ever heard of waxed fabric. I do know of waced thread. I may have seen a few work jackets that were waxed around 1960. But I think some tarps and tents were made with it. Of course. I live in South Mississippi.

chestnuts 😋

Looove the coats 🧥

😅😅😅😅 why did you fast forward all the boring architecture talk 😂😂😂

Thanks for taking me back to my alma mater (Braga). Had I known I’d develop a love for sewing, I’d have started sooner and learned all about those factories during my uni days 😅 Greetings from Scotland!

I'm taking your free sewing course! It's concise, easy and encouraging. I'm so grateful that I found you.Thank you so much!

I recently saw a coat on Talbots (US) website, listed as “wool blend” with a similar tiny amount of actual wool listed -and the comments were scorching about it! 😂. I recently purchased fabric listed as “habotai” on Etsy thinking it was silk. Wrong. 100% polyester according to my burn test (melted like the wicked witch of the west). Consumers have to be vigilant too! Really enjoy your videos! Good luck hunting down those natural fibers! ❤❤❤

So glad I found your channel!! Thankyou for this sewing tip. The patterns I purchase never seem to line up where the sleeves are. ❤

Thank you for sharing this technique. I bought a new home sewing machine and haven't had time to work with it and I will definitely use this new technique next!

According you my husband, some top football manager (don't ask me who... 🤷‍♀️) said: "We either win, or we learn". It applies just as well to garment design as to football. And actually, I think it applies to life in general. It's the things that don't work out that teach us the most.

Thank you the problem solved.🤗

Thanks so much 😮

Brava

Thank you for this - new subscriber here. I saw your TH-cam channel name and this technique mentioned in the comments on another TH-camr's channel.

Oh god, guy's!!! 😅 thanks for the video. My partner and I just made a very, very similar trip in Australia and Indonesia ...I thought we were the only crazy ones!!! Be well and keep making lovely and long-lasting clothes

love your fabrics, please consider shipping to Japan :)

I’m excited to see that someone somewhere is still making natural fabric only knits.

I thought the jacket was very very cute.
