Hi!
20 plus years ago I did a complete sewing course with creat patterns, cutting, sewing,etc.
But after the course I didn't pratic what I learned. With the years I have been doing some clothes alterations for family and friends... But now a want to star creating my own wardrobe.
Your video give me glimps of what I had learned more than to decades ago.
The way you explain every step is easy to understand.
Thank you so make, for sharing your videos.
You're Amazing 👏🏻 💖

Hi Kim, I was looking for comfortable and professional tutorials to watch and help me get back into sewing. Everyone wasn't helping me properly until I came across yours. I really can relate to your tutorials, your presence is beautiful and the way you really take the time to explain everything in that wonderful accent of yours. What I'm trying to say is I appreciate your videos they're very helpful Keep up the good work God bless you always😁❤✌

Thank you soo much! A lot of people make tutorials on how to make (but it should say *sew*) a mini skirt and they just whip out a pattern and expect you to also already have one. Then they just sew it up like anyone else would.

[@mercytunde-yara5389]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Very explanatory. Kindly explain why the centre back goes down by half inch. I've always thought the centre back needed a rise so while sitting down the skirt doesn't slide down. Thank you for the clarification.

Hi Kim. Just came across your channel and subscribed. Thank you for taking time to do these sewing/pattern video clips. I have one request. How does one get your chalk to draw nicely on your fabric. All the chalks I buy just don't glide over the fabric . Is there a trick to getting chalk to mark smoothly ? 🥰

Yeh..yeh...love it. Thanks
