I love batch-cutting, too! It's very time-consuming but so worth it! You mentioned you shared a video for batch-cutting months ago and you got some hate? That's ridiculous and so mean. You're sharing your process, right or wrong. You do YOU! Haters can change the channel if they don't like it or agree! I enjoyed the video and your energy! 🥰
100% agree! How are folks going to tell her about HER process. At least she’s not hoarding patterns and fabric and never choosing a project to sew…like me😂
This is genius! I think my ADHD is bad enough that by the time I cut everything out, I wouldn't want to make it anymore lol, but I love that this works for you. I'm gonna start doing it on like, half scale. With 4-6 things at once. You're so for smart thinking of this! :D
Yes! I batch cut too! I’ve been sewing 50 years, and just started batch cutting last year and it’s upped my sewing game. I’ve been cutting out about 10 projects at a time and I keep the cut fabric in separate zippered project bags I got from Amazon with any notions. I plan out my wardrobe, prioritize and then I get cutting. Cutting out is my least favorite sewing step. Somehow, the batch cutting helps me keep motivated. I love to make lists and organize. I have a couple of your pattern choices on my Spring plans. I have that McCall’s 8001 cut out and ready to go, I love how it looks. I also have the skirt, McCall’s 8149 cut out in a white denim. If you do a review or sew along I’ll be watching!
Aww I love this!!! Thank you for sharing! Someone else has mentioned those zippered project bags on Amazon. I need to check those out because they would definitely be helpful. I’m looking forward to making M8001 and M8149 too! I think they’ll be nice additions to the wardrobe. Happy Sewing!
I’m a batch cutter myself. Taking advantage of large empty tables when I get access to them. But I organize them by thread color, then fly through them. Unless they vex me or the darn serger decides not to lay. I’m on a light blue/purple kick right now, for example. Love just sitting and sewing, one after the other. Did enjoy, sorry about haters, not sure they were having the great time we do when we batch cut. ❤
Love your idea of batch cutting. What a way to prioritize your projects according to how you want to sew! Love that I found your channel. I've been sewing all my life and hardly ever thought of that process. You Go Girl!! Can't wait to see the finished projects ❤❤❤❤❤
You know I’m team batch cut! You could have done a mock up on those cargo pants by just doing it to mid thigh. I have that bodysuit pattern and I have the perfect rib knit for it, but I’ll wait till summer so I will have it for Autumn. So sweet to see big sis holding baby boy!❤
Batch cutting is new for me. Not sure if I like it but I can see it’s value. I like cutting so I don’t mind having to do it. For me cutting is part of the Art of sewing.
Ooh, I like you! Subscribed straight away! 👍 What a brilliant idea! 💡 The thought of cutting out the pattern pieces and fabric can be enough to stop me from starting a project, so I absolutely love this, thank you! Lots of love and hugs xx Deb 🤗
Batch cutting can definitely be useful and I dabble with it sometimes. I'm more likely to batch-cut knits, some cottons or non garment projects when I do it. When it comes to rayon or linen I want to cut and start sewing right away as they tend to grow and can ruin the project. Even cottons cut on the bias or with curves can warp.
YOU JUST POPPED UP! I’m so excited and a new subscriber. Used to batch cut. When kids were little and went to bed. Usually no more than six. My kids only wore school clothes that I made up until they were in 3rd grade. But as a 71 year old great grandma I can’t go that strong anymore. Loved your pattern choices and colors with your complexion. Happy sewing and I hope nothing has to be thrown into time out in the corner for a couple of days until it decides to cooperate with you. 😏
I love that idea to getting ahead of sewing by cutting more than one item out. That 1st one, the blouse I have made. A great top. The skirt with the crop top/ shirt, I LOVE. I'm making that set in a teal color of Linen. I'm so excited to see yours. Love your channel. ❤
I’m happy for you!!! I need to get on this system. I’ve always wanted to batch this way but something has always stopped me from doing it. I know I will feel satisfied when it’s time to actually sew. I have a few in your line up that I’m planning to sew. Tfs!
I never considered batch cutting but I’m not mad at it! I’ve been considering getting some knee pads. I also use a mini cordless fan that doubles as a pattern weight lol. It’s a game changer for cutting on the floor.
I love to batch cut because my cutting table is in a different room from my sewing room. Batch cutting makes it easy so I don't have to go back and forward. I love your video.
Yes! Absolutely! That makes complete sense and I’m so happy to read that you have a process that works well for you! Thanks for watching and for sharing! Happy Sewing! 💜
I started out sewing clothes. I’m tall, so I could adjust patterns to fit my long arms and legs. 😊 Now, I quilt. I love this idea. I often batch cut quilt blocks and set them aside so they are ready when I have time to sew. Cutting is not my favorite part either. Everyone’s process is different, and everyone should do what works for them. Don’t listen to the haters! I enjoyed your video and your enthusiasm.
I love the batch sewing idea. Have done this with cutting out the same top out of several materials at once. Like you I hate the measuring, laying out and cutting the fabric, but I take my time or else I make mistakes (done so for 64 years). Also, I am sure that you do this step, I prewash all my fabrics before cutting out the pattern. I love all your fabric choices with the patterns. Always wanted a Sew She Shed!!!!
Cee, I'm just like you! I do not enjoy cutting patterns and fabric. I'm with you all the way!! I batch cut too. I made S8601. GREAT pattern. New Look 6650 is a fantastic pattern. That rib knit will work well. I'm so impressed how well organized you are. I can only batch cut only up to 3 patterns in a day. That's my limit. I'm so impressed with your progress. Wow! I also sew a project or 2 in a week too. Having it all cut is such a relief. Great JOB!! 🥰
Love your videos!!! Thanks so much for all of them! I pattern only batch cut then as the whim strikes me I just pick the fabric that makes me happy and sew I go. Happy Spring Sewing 🧵 to you!!
I I’ve your energy so much! I have a similar method that I use. The only difference is that I don’t actually cut until I’m ready. You’re going to have a fabulous wardrobe. By the way, all I could focus on for a while were the cute chubby baby legs 😍😍😍
Nice job. I batch cut also. What I do differently is take a day to cut out the tissue paper and then I will cut out 5 or six garments. I say whatever works for you. In that way once I start sewing I’m on a roll! Enjoyed your video. 🪡🧵👗🥰
Wow!!!! What a great job you did. You’d be awesome on an assembly line. lol. It sometimes takes me a day to cut one project. Thanks for sharing your process. I took 4 days off. I’m going to give batch cutting a try. I’ve tried it before but only 2-3 at once. I’m going for 4 this time. Batch cutting of course. The sewing will take me a month since I’m a slow sewer and still learning. Awesome job.
WOW!! I'm impressed with your commitment and stamina. I have such a hard time starting things and getting them done. I'm working on that more though... trying to finish up all the things I've started before starting something new.
Thank you! 😊 It definitely utilizes a lot of willpower to finish something before you start a new project,😩 but I waste less materials (and money) that way, and I’m able to push myself through it. Wishing you the best of luck 🍀 Happy Sewing!
New sub. I love your spirit. I used to batch cut and sew, but it was the same pattern. Example 10 pair of pants at one time. Looking at your video brought back sweet memories. Keep up the good work.❤
I need to make clothes for my new job and I could definitely see myself cutting the same pattern multiple times for several pants and tops. That’s cool!
I wish I would of taped it, but it was well before the time we stand in now, it was in the late 70s early 80s. A short example of this is after the batch cutting, then come the batch pinning of the different steps, pin all the back seams, sew all of them, then pin the front seams, then sew all of them, then pin the pleats on the waist, then sew them, then pin the all pants together using the inseam and so forth until all steps are complete. When you finish the last step you will have how ever many that you decided to cut completed. Of course it depends on the style when measuring how much time it will take. The pants that I was making had pockets and a botton for closure, and not fly zippers.
@@dwellwithFatine how do you arrange fabrics to pin and cut out? Do you put a bunch of fabric on top of each other then pin them all together with the pattern on top? That part is confusing for me. TY
Hello! It’s my first time here. I love your idea for batch cutting. I wish there was more channels into garment sewing. I’m trying to get into making more of my own dresses since my church has its own style of dress that we wear. I hate depending on my friend to make my dresses.
I've recently got into batch cutting too. I don’t have a dedicated sewing space, so I end up just taking over the living room for awhile. If I'm putting together a print at home pdf pattern that takes time and the takes up most of the living room floor, then tracing the patterns off onto tracing paper, then cutting into the fabric all take awhile of just being on the floor--so it works out to not *also* be taking up the table with my machine and notions, and other parts of the room with my iron and ironing board that I'm not using.
Amazing video Cee xx I have been batch cutting since seeing you do it last time. I have Been doing a few at a time but am now intrigued to do more. It’s so satisfying to move from one project to another without the extra planning and cutting etc - the icky stuff lol P.S. people are people, you can’t please them. So if someone out here be giving you shade for what works for you, just ignore them xx
You are so sweet! 🥹 Thank you and I’m so happy to read that you feel satisfied with the quick transition to the next project after batch cutting too! 😁
You are lucky that you fit into a pattern without making a muslin. Cutting into fabric without testing a pattern is a disaster for me since my weight fluctuates so often. Just curious-do you check your pattern/fabric to be sure each piece is on grain before cutting? Thank you for sharing; this is a very efficient way to prep for “the fun part”-sewing! I enjoy seeing your pairing of fabric and pattern and look forward to your pattern reviews and finished garments when ready.
No, I certainly have fails every once in a while 😩 I definitely cut on the grain. Any exceptions I make would be a pattern that’s specifically intended to be cut on the bias, or if it’s a 4-way stretch knit and/or I’m limited on fabric.
I don’t even understand how somebody could be mad at how you choose to cut out your fabric. I don’t even understand what could they possibly say people are so weird I love these patterns you have chosen you’ve given me inspiration, and I picked a couple out off of eBay lol. Can’t wait to see how your projects come out.
I used to batch cut patterns but have ended up not sewing them when life got in the way. Just do a couple otherwise you will end up with lots of unsewn fabrics lying around. I hv been moving my stuff around the pattern packaging are now separated from the cut fabric.
Yes, as I mentioned in the video, you know your capabilities better than anyone else so the amount of projects I cut may not be suitable for everyone so 2-3 is a great number to test the waters, or implement into your sewing practices. I’m already on my 6th make from the projects I cut and I can’t wait to share with you all!
I love your videos.. I haven’t seen in last few weeks. I’m new to it and think I may try this strategy. Hmmm, I may really invest in some knee pads because that is the thing that hurts the most😅. I’m prune of myself haven’t steeped foot in Joann’s.
Yayyy!!! I’m excited for you 😜 I cut my notches when I first cut my pattern pieces, but I don’t transfer markings until I start sewing that particular project. Some of these marking tools fade and since I don’t sew some of these projects for a while, I don’t want my markings to fade too quickly.
Fabulous job! I've recently started small batch cutting stack and it was enjoyable to do the cutting and marking using this approach. I was curious if the fabric on the NL6650 dress was directional because you flipped the pattern?
Thank you! 🙏🏾 Yes, that was directional. I very rarely ever stray from pattern instructions when cutting the pattern. Construction? Sometimes 🙈 But almost never when cutting my pattern pieces because that’s the step in sewing that I almost always make a careless error.
@@weceestyle OH DRATS!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️I was really hoping I was wrong on that! I hope you have enough to cut a second piece because I think the pattern and fabric were a good match and you'd look amazing in it. I've been there so I totally feel your pain. P.S. I'm a new subscriber and I'm cheering you on to pull it out of the fire. 🔥
I’m sorry, I think I misunderstood you. I can’t recall the pattern instructions, but if it didn’t advise me to flip the pattern, then I took it upon myself to flip to conserve fabric waste. Regardless, I’m in great shape because the fabric is 4-way stretch and the fabric has the same symmetrical design. One side is the back on the fold and I reversed it for the front on the fold. We’re all good over here and I can’t wait to start sewing it 👌🏾 Thank you so much for checking!
I rarely prewash. I do if I’m working with a fabric prone to shrinkage, but most times I wash afterwards and I have never had an issue with this because the knits and poly blends I work with don’t shrink on most occasions.
I love batch-cutting, too! It's very time-consuming but so worth it! You mentioned you shared a video for batch-cutting months ago and you got some hate? That's ridiculous and so mean.

I think you are great and creative. I wish I had the energy to batch cut my quilts. I will work on it. Thank you girl and much luck and love.
What true sewist doesn't batch cut? I've been doing it for decades...decades. 😉
This is genius! I think my ADHD is bad enough that by the time I cut everything out, I wouldn't want to make it anymore lol, but I love that this works for you. I'm gonna start doing it on like, half scale. With 4-6 things at once. You're so for smart thinking of this! :D

I agree with you. I don''t like cutting fabric. I just started cutting a couple of patterns at a time. It does save time. I totally understand.

I used to batch cut patterns but have ended up not sewing them when life got in the way. Just do a couple otherwise you will end up with lots of unsewn fabrics lying around. I hv been moving my stuff around the pattern packaging are now separated from the cut fabric.
Yes, as I mentioned in the video, you know your capabilities better than anyone else so the amount of projects I cut may not be suitable for everyone so 2-3 is a great number to test the waters, or implement into your sewing practices. I’m already on my 6th make from the projects I cut and I can’t wait to share with you all!
I like the idea of batch cutting.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes ♥️
Wow you are organised!
I am! 😂
Girl you r a trouper i cant believe how many patterns you cut out I have to try doing this
Yes, definitely give it a try! Start small and let me know how it goes 😊
Lololol! You Go Girl!!! I'm with you!!!😅😅😅
Thank you, Ms. Zelda!!! 💜
Great idea! Thanks.
Thank you so much! ☺️
Good cutter
Thank you 🙏🏾
I love your videos.. I haven’t seen in last few weeks. I’m new to it and think I may try this strategy. Hmmm, I may really invest in some knee pads because that is the thing that hurts the most😅. I’m prune of myself haven’t steeped foot in Joann’s.
Go for it! I hope it helps you! ❤️
I also do batch cutting too
Awesome!!
Beautiful upload nice video thank you for sharing my friend
Thank you so much 🙂 I appreciate you!
I batch cut my stuff all the time
It is much easier for me to get my garments finished in a timely manner.
Absolutely! So happy someone can relate! It truly helps finish garments in a timely fashion!
U r the prettiest female seamstress I've ever seen. This is from a 68 yr old gramma.
🥰 Aww you’re so sweet! Thank you very much!
I also have a lot of patterns. Batch cutting does help speed up the projects.
Absolutely! 💯
You go girl!!! I’m going to do my first batch cut, so I’m only going to cut 3.
When do you mark them?
Yayyy!!! I’m excited for you 😜 I cut my notches when I first cut my pattern pieces, but I don’t transfer markings until I start sewing that particular project. Some of these marking tools fade and since I don’t sew some of these projects for a while, I don’t want my markings to fade too quickly.
I’m with you. I don’t like dong all the cutting either…just want to sew 😂
Exactly! 😂
nice video. love your makes. new view so just a question what iron setting do you use to smooth out paper pattern
Thank you! 😊 My iron is on the lowest setting with no steam
I need to do this
Let me know if you do and how you feel about it 😊
Fabulous job! I've recently started small batch cutting stack and it was enjoyable to do the cutting and marking using this approach. I was curious if the fabric on the NL6650 dress was directional because you flipped the pattern?
Thank you! 🙏🏾 Yes, that was directional. I very rarely ever stray from pattern instructions when cutting the pattern. Construction? Sometimes 🙈 But almost never when cutting my pattern pieces because that’s the step in sewing that I almost always make a careless error.
@@weceestyle OH DRATS!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️I was really hoping I was wrong on that! I hope you have enough to cut a second piece because I think the pattern and fabric were a good match and you'd look amazing in it.
I've been there so I totally feel your pain.
P.S. I'm a new subscriber and I'm cheering you on to pull it out of the fire. 🔥
I’m sorry, I think I misunderstood you. I can’t recall the pattern instructions, but if it didn’t advise me to flip the pattern, then I took it upon myself to flip to conserve fabric waste. Regardless, I’m in great shape because the fabric is 4-way stretch and the fabric has the same symmetrical design. One side is the back on the fold and I reversed it for the front on the fold. We’re all good over here and I can’t wait to start sewing it 👌🏾 Thank you so much for checking!
@@weceestyle it was ME not explaining myself very well! Thank you for taking time to reply and clarify. Happy sewing 💗
Do wash material before cutting out?
I rarely prewash. I do if I’m working with a fabric prone to shrinkage, but most times I wash afterwards and I have never had an issue with this because the knits and poly blends I work with don’t shrink on most occasions.
