What a terrific challenge for me. Anita, you are an inspiration to me. Since my husband passed 2 years ago I have doubled down on sewing. It has been very healing for me. But having sewn along with you has lifted my spirits 10 fold. I continue to pray for you.
Dolores Burrell Ooohhh, Dolores, I understand exactly how you feel about sewing right now. Sewing helps me so much. I’m very happy to have you here with me and I pray for you too, sister. 🙏🏽
I am so sorry for your loss ❤️❤️
@@yahushaisthemessiah I was just wondering this morning, the correct pronunciation of His full name! Thank you truly.
God bless both you ladies.
Yahusha HaMashiach!
Jesus is Lord and Savior of the world!
I'm just learning to sew with knit I know how to sew with other Fabrics I learned a lot from you
I just wanted to say that I love your enthusiasm, your kind demeanor and thank you for your work! I appreciate it!
Thank you so much.
Welcome Back Anita! Great job on "your first video". You did an amazing job! Can't wait to see what else you have in store!
What an excellent tutorial! Just what I needed as I was sewing my first knit sweater. Thank you, Anita for your videos. You are such an inspiration.
Welcome back Anita and you did AWESOME! Love the tutorial and the sweater, both were great!
Myra Lorraine Thank you so much Myra!
So glad to see you jumping back in. You give me confidence to try new sewing skills. Thanks so much for this tutorial.
Good morning, great tutorial. Thank you for sharing your gift of sewing with all of us Anita.
So nice to have you back!
Thank you! I learned a few things from you today! I really appreciate your detailed instructions and hints. Your calm voice and pace make listening to you a pleasure!
I’m just trying to sew a sweater for my dog from an old XL men’s sweater but learned so much here!! Thank you Anita
Great video! God bless you! I’m so glad your back!
Diann Harris Thank you!
Thank you for your wonderful tutorial! I can always learn something new and very useful even though I have been sewing for decades! I have made two tunics with this pattern and now I have new ways to sew with knits, thanks to you! It’s a nice versatile pattern.
I just started watching you, I’m making a tunic out of a sweater knit as well! Thank you so much!
I also love that you have a baby lock- !
Laurie Slater You’re very welcome Laurie. Thank you for watching.
An absolutely refreshing tutorial, bless your heart, welcome back, and thank you.💖💖💖💖💖
mystry miles You’re very welcome
I'm so proud and inspired by you. You are a true OVERCOMER!!
Thank you, I did not find the like button but I subscribed. I am so glad I found your blog. I will be doing lots of reading and watching your videos. And I do LIKE very much.
So glad to have your wonderful sewing lessons, again!!
Thank you Rena!
It is so glad to have you back... I love this sweater fabric and the project... Great job!
Tamara Kemp Thanks Tamara. Glad to be back.
You are a joy to watch!!
I love the way teach and sew! Thanks for being a blessing!
Tru Diva Oh thank you so much! I’m glad you like my teaching.
I appreciate your quick reply. Thanks again.
Anita, you are absolutely, hands down the best TH-cam sewing instructor!!!! You explain everything. When you come up on a difficult area (sewing over the hump) you don't ignore it, you address it. It's those little bits that elevate our sewing skills. The tip about placing the interfacing on the hem, PRICELESS! Now I know how to avoid my wavy hem when I sew my next knit project.
So glad to have you back! And you did a wonderful job recording alone! May God continue to bless and keep you!
Wow, thank you so much for that 'measuring tip'. I had no idea. I've always wondered why my sweaters 'grow' and loose their shape after sewing. I also didn't know that I need to use a zig zag stitch with sweaters. So grateful Anita for your teaching me that.
Awesome video, Anita! Love all your helpful tips for beginners! XO ❤️😘
Rosy Peña Thanks Rosy
Anita - I am so inspired by your tenacity and your unwillingness to allow your circumstances to stand in your way from accomplishing what you love. I am so excited for you and can't wait to sew this sweater! Great for you!
JC Lewis Thank you so much! Have fun sewing your tunic.
Welcome back, good to see you! Great tips, thank you for sharing!
Glenda Sam You’re very welcome

You are a truly beautiful woman and so talented with your sewing skills and your generosity in sharing them. You obviously have a great eye for style because your fabric choices create the most beautiful garments. This is something I find difficult and is a giveaway for a handmade garment. I’m so happy to have found your channel and feel inspired to keep sewing.
Welcome back . I am glad to watch you4 video, I always avoid working or altering knit fabric but with your instructions I will try again.thank you very much.Blessings

Hi Anita thank you for this video you've inspired me to make this tunic pattern. Your voice is very pleasing and your instructions are easily understood, I look forward to more tutorials. Blessings to you in your future endeavors.
I love your fabric. I have a difficult time finding wonderful knits. Thanks
I am sooooooo excited. I’m a beginner “me maker” and I am having so much fun and so far have only sewed for myself. My teenager has asked that I make this tunic for her and what perfect timing. Thank you thank you!!! I love watching your “love” come through your teachings. Also, I love sewing with stretch knit.
Lydia Waldron Yaaay Lydia! You’re welcome! Enjoy sewing the tunic!
This video made me want to make a sweater. Awesome!
Ms. Anita, it is so nice to see you "back". You did great on your "first" video. I can picture your dear hubby beaming with pride. Your journey and triumph has been an inspiration and an incredible example of what it means to completely trust in the Lord. Thank you for all the wonderful knowledge you have shared, I learned so much in this tutorial. Keep them coming! :)
Love this pattern!!! Great Sew a Long Anita!!! Keep up the good work.
Thank you Yolanda
I just LOVE this sweater! It looks easy to do and would be perfect in anyone's closet. You are loved by all here and are watched over by your hubby, he is like ' babe, you got this! And you have mad TH-cam skills '
TheSliverleaf Oh gosh, thank you so much for the encouragement!❤️
That sweater looked darling! Thank you!
You are so welcome!

Yes, Lisa! Congratulations on your sweater.
Love this Anita!

STYLE with Glenda K Harrison Thank you Glenda❤️
Thank you for the tutorial. I've always wanted to sew a sweater. I'm able to knit one but have never sewed a sweater.
Thank you for this video. I am about to make my first sweater and having watched this has given me confidence to make it well.
That's so good to hear. I wish you much success with your sweater.
such a great video Anita! I purchased a sweater dress last winter (clearance) and need to shorten it about 4". I think your method for hems will be just what I need to feel confident that I'm not going to ruin the dress! Thank you!
You're very welcome
So thankful that you're back, I've been prayerfully awaiting your return. Have shied away from sewing knits but after viewing this video I'm purchasing my pattern tomorrow and am going to make the tunic. Your video is inspiring and I feel confident that I will not produce a lopsided fiasco of a tunic. LOL. Thank you, you are an inspiration and an overcomer girded up through the love of Almighty God.
Tinarobb8 Ooohhh, thank you so much for your support. Yes, you can do it. Just practice for as long as you need before starting your project. I’m really happy to be back and can’t wait to record the next sew-along. I already have the project picked out. Have fun sewing your sweater.
Excellent video- thank you
You're welcome Ella
Thank you for making these videos. I am a new sewist, and your videos are teaching me so much. Hope you are doing well in these crazy times.
You are so welcome! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the videos and learning. I'm doing very well, and I hope you are too, Natalie.
You are a wonderful presenter.
Thank you! 😃
Very interesting video. I love your sweater. It looks great on you. It is fun to see how methods for sewing knits, are so different. I used quilt bat fuse - cut into narrow strips to put in place of the elastic. It secures the knit in place and prevents stretch in that area where I don't want any stretch at al, because as you wear the sweater the shoulders can start to sag. I never press sweater knit fabrics because it flattens the stitch definition and fluffiness of the the knit fabric, the only exception being my card method of hem marking . I always insert my neck before adding the sleeves to prevent drag and pull on the garment and generally having to deal with all that bulk, while inserting the neck- which is the most difficult part of the project. I cut a piece of card the width of the hem I want to create and before I sew the side seams I use it as a guide and press the fabric up over it on the wrong side, of what will be the inside of the garment. This way I can protect the front side of the knit from the pressing and squashing the knit. I never use steam for the same reason. Next, I do the same, making the hem press marks with card for the sleeves - then I sew the side seams. It is easier getting the hems positioned in place right when they are still flat. I use a wide double needle for knit fabrics and a long stitch length of 3 or 3.5 to prevent stretching and pulling, and sew the hems up, making a nice stitch finish on the front hem and sleeve hems. Finished. Looking forward to more of your videos.
These are GREAT tips! Thank you so much for sharing. Yeah, I know some people don't press sweater knits. I've always pressed mine and haven't had any issues. But, yes, I hear you on the issue off flattening the fluffiness. Just haven't experienced that yet. I think if I were to use a specialty knit or something with a high loft, then maybe I would consider not pressing. But I would test it first to see if pressing would harm the fabric. Yes, we're all quite different in our sewing techniques. That's one of the things I love about sewing and learning from others.
Great tutorial! I am going to learn a lot from you!
Thank you so much Vickie! Glad to have you here.
This was a great video for the process. I live in south Florida so I won’t do this pattern but will use what I learned in this video thx Anita ❤️
Awesome! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the video and found tips you can use with other projects.
Beautiful sweater!
Thank you! 😊
Brilliant. I’m hooked on all your videos. I’m getting a serger soon and going to start making clothes again after so many years of not. I used to make so much when young. Thanks so much for inspiring me. God bless. X
Hi Hilary! Thank you so much! Glad to have you here.
Thanks so
Much!!!!
fede hall You’re very welcome
So glad you are back. Garment sewing is Not my better area. Quilting is more my thing. But your videos inspire me to try. Thank you.
I can’t find the beautiful knit sweater fabric that you have used. I watch your teaching a lot and enjoy. Just wish I could find the beautiful fabrics
Congratulations on your sew-along. Nice job. I recently made a sweater knit jacket that I was not pleased with. I never thought to use a walking foot. Next time I'll use your tips for a better result.
You're very welcome! We're always learning and I love it.
Your videos are so inspiring and informative. You are a wonderful teacher.
Sorry to hear about your husband. I'm sure he is very proud of you carrying on. All your subscribers appreciate your return.
Thank you
