ABOUT:
Hi, I'm Wendy, and I have been on a sewing journey ever since my mom taught me how to make little outfits for my dolls. I studied engineering and business, had an office job for two years, and then quit to embark on a lifelong sewing adventure on TH-cam. Subscribe to join me on the adventure, and maybe make your own clothing too! Thanks for watching ❤️ - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I hope this vid helps you to get to your perfect fit faster and more consistently! These tools have been a HUGE IMMENSE IMMEASURABLE confidence boost for me because I don't worry as much about "will it fit?" or panic that I can't afford any mistakes because I only bought the exact amount of fabric needed to do it once perfectly (whyyyyy do we do this to ourselves)

Thank you so much for making this video! I love it!
Can you make a video on how to make fleece shorts??
You should attempt to make a transformation dress made out of thrifted items
Could you please make a diy video in how to transform a sleeping bag into a onesie? Like the Selkbag ones :)
Tip from a fashion designer. Bodice blocks always have darts ending right on the "peaks of the boobs", to not draw attention to these peaks or get a bullet bra effect, always shift darts that land on boob peaks a 2cm or so away from said peaks. Don't know if you knew this already but there yo have it.
Her voice is like lavender essential oil, I feel so relaxed
Even my husband pauses to watch her videos! 😁 and he's a manly-man contractor type of guy. 😁
Its like almost asmr. Not whispering but sounds like it
Watch me in my clothes making channel and DIY 🥺🖤🖤
that's exactly what it is!! love
Omg perfect explanation !!
"I'm self taught and I've been making stuff." - Wendy 2020
😊so encouraging
I relate to that... 🖐 hahahaha
That sentence is the essence of gen z, it's not even a joke there's studies that show that gen z prefer learning things by them selves
Wow, what an inspiration💕
@@melinahysko7613 Gen X does too 😉
i work in a fabric store and a good way to keep patterns for a long time is to use a type of interfacing! Its actually called like a pattern interfacing and its like a mix between paper and fabric, its thin, lightweight, can be folded and last a long time. Its just a tip i havent seen many people talk about and i only learned about it since working there
How do we get it?
@@aaliyahi.7493 You can try ordering it online or going to your local fabrix/craft stores !
Kendall Jenner’s waist in the thumbnail caught my eye. But I’m really here for Wendy!
is this... youtube catfishing? 😂
dw honey, Kendall had a surgery to get that waist
Joe Heller kendall has always been skinny the only thing she got was lip fillers and a face lift, her body hasn't been touched
@@fate.88 oh sweeties, she had multiple surgeries both on the face and the body, just look it up
@@joeheller7581 there is such a thing as a - diet and work out plan, just saying
The paris georgia dress is actually made out of stretchy fabric, that's why it's so form-fitting.
that is a great detail to point out thank you
So Wendy actually did this on hard mode, even more impressive 🤓
I just tried making this and I used a non - stretchy fabric.. The fit is perfect but I can't get it on 😂😭
@@emilietoubkin8560 girll u gotta sew on a ziper
Your Instagram post sold this video! It's soooooooo perfectly fitted, I haven't even finished the video but I *KNOW* you nailed it. Also gurllllll, your earrings are always in point! Really appreciate the sample size of testers you went through to test the kit hahaha
thank you!!!
I know everyone put their thumb up to their nose when Wendy said they were the same length 😆
Someone please comment if their thumb to nose ratio is a major mismatch
@@withwendy My thumb is longer than my nose, the tip of it ends up above the middle of my eye! But I do have really long thumbs though (:
My thumb to nose ratio is an absolute mismatch.
I do have longe fingers and a long thumb. And I'm the proud owner of an Asian nose.
@@withwendy mine is in line with my eyebrows, I do have very long fingers
I have a really small nose, so my thumb is not even even close to the size of my nose 😂😂😂😂
oh my godddd julia is so adorableee we stan an assistant queen
I've been trying to make a basic bodice block for two days, and I'm screaming out of frustration! This video could not have come at a better time! THANK YOU!! Now I feel energized and like I can do this! You're the best!
It's so refreshing to see Julia in a video! Hoping to see more cameos of her in the future!
As always, you nailed it, Wendy! Such a perfect fit!! 👌
It turned out sooooo good Wendy! ❤️❤️❤️
So glad you shared this! I love that you're showing more challenging projects lately but still make them super simple to follow😁
Ugh this turned out amazing!! There's something so satisfying about perfectly tailored clothes that gets me, I may have to make my own pattern even though I've never sewn something from scratch before!
I’ve just started to get serious with sewing like 3 days lol, and you can’t believe how helpful this is!! I know this is all stuff I can probably learn on my own from watching other videos and reading various blogs, but you just make it so easy to follow and are honestly such a huge inspiration💛💛
This was such a timely video for me as I've just acquired my mother's Golden Rule book from Lutterloh two days ago. Hers is full of patterns from the 50's or 60's (I've been trying to get my hands on it for the last three decades or so!) and it's nice to see that while some alterations are likely to be needed, it's a useable system.
I love how the top turned out. You have great taste when it comes to choosing what you will make, colours and styles. Since I am not a sewer (I don't mean the sewer where water goes down into the waste), I can admire your work and hear, blah, blah, blah... knowing I can come back here when I get to where I can make something for myself. The final result for one was/is stunning and suits you, beautifully. Well done. Thanks for doing the comparison with three people of differing sizes. Very scientific.
I'm so happy you made this video, I've been wanting to make some tops ( especially the corset you showed how to make) but I never knew how to make patterns that would fit me this video was super useful 💗
This top is just perfect !!! Speechless
I’m obsessed with your channel your style everything !!! Much love 💕
Have been sewing since 2016 now (following your videos) and I just constantly get inspired by your content to try more and more complicated things! This is very helpful. Your channel is a library 👏 Thank you, Wendy.
patiently waiting for the sewing machine i ordered, cant wait to remake your pieces!! Deffo adding this one to my faves ^^
Wendy, I've been watching you for years and admiring your skills and creations from the sidelines. But today I bought my first sewing machine. I'm scared and giddy and just wanted to say thank you. Your recommendations helped me pick my machine. I'm very intimidated but even more excited!!!
My late husband was a wonderful pattern maker. He worked for several high end labels. He was awesome!
This top came out amazing!! The binding just makes it pop and look so chic. Well done! 💖💖
I love this!!!!! that little book is a game changer for me, I don’t know how to read a pattern but I’m self taught and I have been making stuff too on my channel it’s really awesome not using a pattern however it hasn’t been quite as awesome when I am trying to make something for anyone other than myself I think the book method would make my whole life easier thanks for sharing 💕
Such a great video! I love the detail she goes into and how she’ll show her mistakes and how to fix them as part of the processes, it creates a lot of learning opportunities that I really appreciate. Also A++ for going the extra mile and testing the techniques on different body types.
Usually I feel anxiety watching sewing videos but you somehow make it very calming and like a forgiving humble environment
Im really grateful that i found your channel
the final outcome was so gorgeous!! it was also really nice to see those whole process of making a perfect fit pattern. thank you so much, wendy & team
The finished product looks so fabulous! I cant stop coming back to this video!
I love your tutorials Wendy, they are so inspiring and they give me the confidence to attempt projects myself.
Too cute love how this turned out! Finally ordering my sewing machine can't wait to start!❤️
I love how you invent your own patterns and are flabbergasted if you see the little book full of patterns. Your assistant got beautiful hands! Looks good.
This is so helpful and the end product is gorgeous 🦋🤍
I luv ur content Wendy u inspire me to start sewing
inspo! I was looking at the in the folds blog to make my bodice block. Glad i randomly landed here to see and get an idea of how it turns out! Will definitely be giving it a try. Thanks Wendy!
wendy gets better and better! great video so worth the wait!
Wendy: This is from Paris Georgia..
Me who have no idea: No that's LORDE SAVIOUR MELODRAMA
LITERALLY
Lol but also... I wish we could have new music from her!
@@withwendy Istg she needs to save 2020s music industry
Was just talking about Pure Heroine with someone yesterday.
Lorde is my queen and I’m so excited for her to release more music. Both of her albums are perfect places.🤧❤️
Wow the top came out literally so well! It looks amazing!
Thank you! In the fold is such a good resources in my opinion! Love them
So obsessed with this video! I always love seeing other sewers drafting techniques and I learned some new things in this one!
I’ve never learned so much from just one video!! I’m in the beginning stages of teaching myself flat pattern drafting and I feel like I just leaped ahead in terms of know-how. Also, bias tape has confused me in the past and know I have a better understanding. On top of that the end result is incredible!! Fantastic video!
Wendy I love you. You are so patient and calming, and watching your videos makes me want to sew so badly.
i love how approachable u make sewing!!!!! ive been following more advanced ig accts and its so !!! intimidating!!! i dont know the first thing abt pattern drafting, (ive only been tracing my existing clothes so far) but this has made it feel so so approachle
i love how she wore the blue top from the thrift flip
You explain this process so clearly and straightforward! I’m still very new to sewing and this was super helpful. I love that you tested the bodice on 3 people for data point analysis. Love some data science
I love everything you do you teach us so many valuable sewing related tips 🤩🌻
it turn out so well. love it
This is my favourite video that I’ve seen in a while! So useful, so helpful, so intriguing!
Wendy this video is amazing, super helpful and straight forward for drafting your own patterns!
The finished product looks exquisite!!!!
I love the Lutterloh system, and have used it for years. The one thing to keep in mind is that it works better the closer your body is to being evenly proportioned (because it's based on a standardized human proportion, a la DaVinci Man). So you will have to make adjustments for individual body quirks like a large bust, swayback, long/short waist, etc. OTOH, you generally have to do that for any commercial pattern anyway, and commercial patterns are often graded to larger/smaller sizes from the core block in ways that distort proportions more the further off the standard size they get. Because of that, you usually get quite a bit closer to your own body shape with the Lutterloh system on the first go than you would with a commercial pattern. But a multi-measurement custom block will fit best since it captures all those quirks to begin with. So generally speaking, a Lutterloh pattern will end up somewhere between a custom block and a commercial pattern (and usually closer to the custom block, unless you are a significant proportional outlier).
Your vids are always majest! Never a dull one. Loved the finish product
Thanks for coming up with inspiring ideas! Everyone can improve their sewing techniques one way or another
You're such an inspiration, wendy💕💕 You inspire me to practice more in sewing 💕💕💕💕
Omg it turned out so cute!
Wendy you are my hero ✨ thank you so much for all this amazing content through the years
The fit of the final top literally had me going "WOWWW" This is an awesome video with instruction and links, thank you for making it! I've watched you fall in love with your Lutterloh kit more and more and now I know how it all began 😄
This is so goooood!! I’m currently making the white cecilie bahnsen dress and I love the process so much 🤍🤍🤍 Will definitely make my own bodice blocks after it’s finished!
I’ve been working on the bodice pattern for days on and off because mine was not looking like yours nor the blogpost whatsoever and I felt discouraged. But I pulled through and ended up with a near perfect fit, only had to adapt the neckline and the armholes! So happy I stuck to it and followed your lead!!
Wow, that’s great!! You’re so talented 🤤 I love the black contrast edges! Your modelling pics are great too!
Hi Wendy!! Wonderful vlog.. What a great outcome.. I’m amazed at how well the second block turned out w/just one bust measurement....
💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
I love watching your process. You are an amazing seamstress! You inspire me!
Thank you for this! I loved the kit option and will be purchasing it today.
Sewing is so fun and let’s u be so creative. I’ve recently bought a sewing machine and have no idea where to start, but this video was so helpful
The pink woven fabric for method 2 is soo pretty!
it ended up looking so cute!
Instantly subscribed, wow you're making such an effort to make these videos and they are helping me so much♡♡♡
SO COOL! Thanks so much for this. I just bought the Lutterloh kit because the idea of it blew my mind!
She has such a nice, soothing voice.
I end up listening to her without understanding the whole thing.hahaha
Thank you so much for this video. It is one of my new favorites 🙌🏼. I’ve been wanting to make my own custom bodice pieces and video has helped me so much. I wish I could like this 100 times😄
wow the end result was amazing, you're one of the main reasons why i have motivation to sew. Love your videos and your clothes jaja
Wow the top came out so pretty, I love it
i LOVE the final result so much!
This video is BOMB 💣! I’m in the middle of making an evening dress that needs a fitted bodice and this video helps so much!
Hi Wendy! After watching this video sooo many times, I actually tried drafting my own perfect fit bodice block. After 7 hours and 2 attempts (am not proud of that), i got a perfect fit block! I tried the first method and I did get the same problems as you hehe. So happy with how it turned out!
OMG IT LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!
Absolutely adorable! Complicated for beginners but still adorable!
VERY NICEEE omg this turned out greattt
I HAVE BEEN SEWING FOR YEARS BUT THIS KIT IS AMAZING NEED TO GET IT ASAP🥰THANK YOU XXX
I'm so grateful for this tutorial, I've been trying so hard to make a 'perfect fit' pattern to finally make things that properly fit me. But I was a bit intimidated. This is very helpful, Thank youuu 🙏
I’ve tried making a bodice block before and failed miserably. I might give it a go again with the Wendy approved link. Thanks for re-inspiring me!!
You’re such a gem! Thanks for such great content!
hey wendy! love your videos! I wanted to add a tip my sewing teacher taught me for bias tape on points like the front one. cut your bias tape in a v shape so that the middle point is the lowest point and conned two v's right sides together for a crisp right turn in your bias tape :)
this is to help with the "valley of swethearts" :)
The top looks amazing and you are so pretty!!
Subscribed! This is the first sewing video that actually helps me 😍
duuuude!!!! it looks so freaking great!!!!!!
Really awesome! I actually used that little booklet before and made my first pair of shorts! I wonder where it is now! Makes me want to get it out again. I really enjoyed this video!! As usual! Never a dull moment with Wendy!!
i love this so much thank you the top turned out beautifully
this looks stunning on you! OMG, adorable!!
Wow this is really well explained & I love the big bump upon the dart trick. Subscribed thank you 💕
i finally bought a sewing machine and been starting on projects and so so fulfilling 🥺 thanks for inspiring me i love this new creative output
This little top is beautiful, love the colour. Classic, this could be worn for years.
Omg i love Julia's pants! They're so cute! Also Julia is so cute!! 💓💓 You guys are the best!!
The binder pattern moment at 6:43 = WHOA!!!!! 😂
This video inspires me to keep doing my own alternations so as to my garments to fit correctly. One day I will sew a dress. The fact you are self-taught is amazing; you explain methods very well. BTW, those drop ball earings are stunning. Thank you for the great video and stay well. 🙌🏾❣️
this video was so long--I LOVED IT!!! cant wait to try this
Can’t wait to try this! Thanks Wendy!!!
girlll you nailed it, im so inspired to start sawing again
Thank you sooo much for this tutorial, Wendy!!!
