Such a good video! Thank you for making these. Just found your channel. Just love it all. From your energy to the depth of the info. Delivery is also on point. Wish I found your channel sooner.
I am wondering one thing? Can you do a tutorial on pressing different fabrics. Iam working with a synthetic fabric today. And I can’t get it to press properly. To flatten the seem.Maybe you already made a video, and I missed it.
Thank you so much for these tutorials. I originally watched them when you first produced them, but it has been so good to watch it again as I have been able to absorb it better.
I so appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge, Lauren, thank you! I've added a few of your pattern suggestions to my Pinterest board. The Aomori top is gorgeous!!! Papercut patterns do seem to speak to me. I have a few jerseys in my collection and needed patterns ideas for different types so now it's a go. So helpful. x
I so wish I lived in the uk so I could shop your store and fabric shop.... I’ll have to shop your web site. Love watching your videos to learn about all types fabrics 101
These video are so useful - thank you! I've been sewing on/off for a couple of years and have never found fabric shopping fun as there's so many different types and terms to get your head round. But videos like these really help 😊
Fantastic video Lauren...thank you! Was really good to see the made up garments too. The Nielsen stretch sheet will be invaluable. So watchable..thanks.
Thank you so much for these explanation videos. There are so very many wonderful fabrics (not locally for me) but I’ve been afraid to order on line so you have really helped de-mystify!
Good discussion about knit fabrics. Interesting that you say knit fabrics should always be prewashed. I made a lovely dress, wore it once, washed it, then thought I had put on a great deal of weight. Now I realise it might have shrunk.
If you look for the gsm weight fo the fabric that will be standardised, so 180gsm or 250gsm. Not every fabric shop will display this (or even know it) in which case more subjective terms are used like light weight, medium weight etc
Hi Susan, thanks for the feedback. It's a good point but often prices can change, especially at the moment due to the economy and exchange rate in the UK. I'm conscious of making the videos as relevant as I can over a long period of time and thought if I mention prices at the time of filming it would go out of date. There is a link to the corresponding blog post in the description of the video and that lists all the patterns I mention and the listings of them on my website, with prices too, so that will always be the most up to date place to look. Best wishes, Lauren :)
for necklines I typically add a band in the same fabric as the main fabric. I've made a separate video about that - here is the link to it. For armholes, I've actually only ever made jersey clothes that have sleeves. The sleeves then just get hemmed by folding them back once and top stitching down with a stretch stitch or a cuff band is added. If the garment was sleeveless then could can finish the arm holes in the same way you would the neck. Hope that helps :)

I could listen to you talk all day. I love your accent. I live in the US and often wonder if people think we have an accent when we speak?

Also do you know of a technique to sow Jersey or stretch fabric by hand ? A stitch that would stretch?

Thank you, great information .
Thank you for explaining. I want cotton jersey yoga pants to hold their shape pretty well. Are thicknesses standardized or subjective?

Hi love watching you to see what fabric I would like to buy. it would be good if you gave prices of fabric and patterns. .Susan Peach

Are you going to do a capsule SERIES for winter
Hi Tracy, we haven't got one scheduled at the moment, for winter its likely to be next winter now. I'm sure we will do a summer one though :)
Is this fabric for summer ?
For a stretch fabric how do you finish your neckline and armholes ?
for necklines I typically add a band in the same fabric as the main fabric. I've made a separate video about that - here is the link to it.
For armholes, I've actually only ever made jersey clothes that have sleeves. The sleeves then just get hemmed by folding them back once and top stitching down with a stretch stitch or a cuff band is added. If the garment was sleeveless then could can finish the arm holes in the same way you would the neck.
