Mimi we need to bring back home economics in schools so kids can learn about sewing and other home economics classes. Will simplicity ever do personal measurement patterns?
Agree with you 💯. I think that move is going to help develop their ability to determine clothing that fit well or not...also consciousness of saving ,consumption, environmental issues associated, etc.
I watched this video to the end. Excellent! I loved how you clearly explained every step, offering options and defining the stitching/ methods. The best sew along you have made in my opinion. BTW you, hubby and Brittini-- outstanding team.
As an art teacher I taught kids sewing. Hand sewing, decorating with buttons and beads for younger kids and older kids made a pillow using my sewing machine. They loved the whole process! But there should be a home arts class for schools. Learning how to cook from scratch, sew and repair clothing, clean and maintain a home are things they will use for the rest of their life time.
I just got the pattern at Joann's today and I am so excited. I used to sew as a kid with my grandma, but haven't in like 5 years. Hoping this pattern is easy enough!
We are the same here in the UK home economics seem to have disappeared, young teenagers are leaving school without the ability to cook clean or do a simple repair like sewing on a button, they then go on to have children and skills are not being passed on, and families end up living off takeaways and convenience foods, it’s really quite sad
May I make a suggestion especially for ladies that have "back" as per Sir Mix-a-Lot their hemlines need to be measured from the floor up to prevent the rear hemline hiking up and looking shorter in profile. After hanging for 24hours + use either a chalk hem marker (if by your self) or add an additional 1" to 3" to the center back seam tappering to the side seam to counter the problem.
So proud of you and the work you do. EVERYONE wants to sew and be included. You're such a visionary!!! I buy all your patterns even if I don't get around to sewing them (Norris, too).🥰
OMG!! I learned how to sew with you so now that I know I haven’t watched your channel in awhile and I didn’t know you came out with patterns and they look amazing too! I am so purchasing them!!!! I’m happy for you 👏
I know I'm a little, however I just brought this pattern and watched this video. It is really great and not hard to follow. I can't wait to make it! I'd like to add pockets to the shorts however I'm not sure where to place them (I'm still a novice when altering patterns). Any ideas on how to determine where they should go?
Will they putting back on the name of the garments, and how many pieces for each garment? As a beginner, it helps me narrow down which one to try. The pictures came be deceiving.
I am really excited about this pattern. I purchased it and isn’t something I would normally buy because I don’t like showing my stomach. I just think it is so cute though!
I was totally thinking the same thing and was thinking of ways to connect the two pieces but making it longer at the hem of the top sounds like a good idea. Im a new sewist so I hope I can do it.
Mimi - thank you for taking all of this on. It's going to help all of us out here. I want to make a comment that may be good to know - I have decided that, going forward, I'm only buying patterns if there is a video sew along to go with it. I don't mind if it's by you, Norris, Brittany or Anita Morris (who is not affiliated with your new job or your store, I know). I hope that's good feedback for the Big 4. No video, no making the garment ;-)
I just completed the top with a skirt of another Simplicity pattern using this skirt directions. 🤣🤣 It turned out so great and the pattern print is so pretty on this pattern. 💕💕 I love it. Sidebar: I did attempt to make the shorts in this pattern but the fabric material I choose was unforgiving. Nevertheless, the results were great. Thank you for the tutorial.
I’m so excited to hear about extended size coming in pattern form. PDF has been my go to for patterns. Because that’s what I find in my size. And I totally appreciate these indie pattern makers. But it would be so nice to walk into a store and buy a pattern that’s my size. And not have to print out and tape a pattern together. Thanks for your hard work. I’ve enjoyed your education.
Oh how I wish the shorts were shown on here. Cannot find a single shorts how to for this pattern and I am not understanding the pattern at all and need a visual
I really liked making the pattern but unfortunately didn’t fit in the crotch area :( I unfortunately don’t have the hips to go for a bigger size but still need a longer crotch curve. I was surprised because I have bought simplicity patterns before and never had an issue with size four crotch
I truly appreciate the sew a longs - but using white on white fabric for this is an absolute nightmare for beginners like myself. Like, WHAT is the wrong and right side?

That’s so true! I go to schools teaching sewing programs.
I know right.
You are so right. That is where I was first introduced to sewing.
Facts .
Agree with you 💯.

Thank you for this video. I am going to attempt to do this skirt.... it will be the 1st thing I have ever sewed. So far I have pinned the pattern.
Can the big four add tall patterns for taller women. Being 6’2” I have to hack all my patterns just to get a fit

So excited for this make, just need to find the right fabric.😊
I'd love to know where the fabric came from on the original pattern cover! Just bought this today!
Love the pattern. Just cut it out. I’m wondering what type of sewing machine you are using. Thank you
Thank you so much I’ve watch you for years and I’m still not sewing the way I would love to but your video are so much appropriate for me
So proud of you and the work you do. EVERYONE wants to sew and be included. You're such a visionary!!! I buy all your patterns even if I don't get around to sewing them (Norris, too).🥰

Thank you!! You are awesome! Thank you for representing👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I’ve been following you on instagram for years. Just bought my first sewing machine and can’t wait to learn from you and your videos!
I know I'm a little, however I just brought this pattern and watched this video. It is really great and not hard to follow. I can't wait to make it!

Just make it longer at the hem to cover.
I was totally thinking the same thing and was thinking of ways to connect the two pieces but making it longer at the hem of the top sounds like a good idea. Im a new sewist so I hope I can do it.
Honestly a cute little strip of tummy showing like that looks sooo good on anyone I see if that’s any encouragement to wear it!
Will there be a sew along for S9540 wrap dress?
I love your work
Perfect for Spring and Summer!

Mimi I love your sew along, what brand of sewing machine are you using.
Mimi you and your team are doing an amazing job!!!! Thank you.
You looking great. Remain blessed xxx
I’m so glad for the finished garment measurements because I measure myself and make the garment but it is a little big.
Beautiful work , 👍🥳🥳Awesome changes for patterns 👏🏼👏🏼

Very nice the two pieces 💖💖💖
I think this look is so cute! What type of fabric did you use?
I love your patterns!! 💖💕 Thank you Mimi. What type fabric is that white fabric?

I love this so much. This will be my next sewing project!
Hi Ms. Mimi G, from Upper Canada.💐
One love, ♥️
Marline Jenkins
👏🏽👏🏽😊🙋🏽♀️Thank you for the sizes for the girls with the curves. I personally want to say Thank you so much!!
Love this pattern and your tutorials❤️. Can I ask what sewing machine you’re using, shopping for one.
I saw you in the pattern catalogs at Joannes. I knew I've seen you some place then it clicked! Mimi sews on TH-cam. At any rate I thought it was cool
Mimi , could show us a easy wideleg jumpsuit. Blessings from Puerto Rico.
Yayyyyy!!!! I just bought this so I’m so excited to try this ❤️❤️❤️
Is the seam allowance already in the pattern
I love this pattern ❤️
Mimi what type of fabric you used? A new sewist.
I love you and your channel so much! You are ridiculously talented and an inspiration ❤
Are your patterns available to those of us in the Caribbean?
Great patterns and sizing!
Such a cute design, but why no pockets? This would be the perfect skirt for basic side seam pockets.
@@erinthompson9622 it’s easy enough to add if you’d like.
Oh how I wish the shorts were shown on here. Cannot find a single shorts how to for this pattern and I am not understanding the pattern at all and need a visual
Both views are so pretty.
Are we gonna get pattern S9554 soon?? I’m struggling 😭😭
Learned a lot thankyou
I really liked making the pattern but unfortunately didn’t fit in the crotch area :( I unfortunately don’t have the hips to go for a bigger size but still need a longer crotch curve. I was surprised because I have bought simplicity patterns before and never had an issue with size four crotch
So very 👏
So very proud of you
Thank Goodness for the finish garment measurements 👍🏾
Yeeeess
Beautiful
This is such a long time waiting so excited!! #gamechanger
I truly appreciate the sew a longs - but using white on white fabric for this is an absolute nightmare for beginners like myself. Like, WHAT is the wrong and right side?
❤😊
I would love if your husband would also start to make extended sizes in his patterns.
where is pattern #8177 video?
th-cam.com/video/HRMzUEKNF_g/w-d-xo.html
I'm still having trouble with the back for view A 😭😭😭
Mimi, can you start using darts for us who have bigger breasts, patterns like this tend to come out too baggy when there are no darts.
