Aneka, you are a Godsend. I bought a sewing machine 3 years ago and I've been so scared to touch it until I found your tutorials. I'm so looking forward to this sewing journey with you by my side 😁...thank you for all the time you've put into these tutorials. Cheers 🤸🏾♀️
This free tutorial contains more useful information than some others that I've purchased recently. Thank you! I especially appreciated your explanation of the selvage, and the horizontal and vertical grain lines. I never knew about "truing" the vertical grain line until watching this video. I'm also glad to see that you pin the pattern to the fabric before cutting it out (just like my grandmother used to do). I've recently watched videos by other instructors who suggest that pinning isn't necessary. However, in those same videos, the edges of the fabric pieces they've cut look somewhat uneven and inaccurate. So, I'm going to take your advice and continue to pin my pattern pieces before cutting. It takes so little time to do it, and pinning certainly prevents the pattern piece from slipping! Thanks for these fantastic videos!
Thank you for your lovely, kind words Megan. I am so pleased that you like my tutorials and style of teaching. I was taught to pin by my grandmother too, a lot of people use weights nowadays and sometimes these can be useful (slippy / stretchy fabric), but most of the time I will still pin. Thank you, Aneka x
Being a trained tailor with a masters degree in sewing as well as teaching, being on the lookout for good basic tutorials for my goddaughter, I'm super happy I found this series. The basic knowledge put out in the videos is easily cohesive even for the most as of now ignorant newbie. Great job teaching.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review. I really appreciate it, especially coming from someone experienced. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

@@domenicomonteleone3055 Hi Domenico, thank you for your lovely message. Great to hear you have a new hobby. It really depends on what your level is to start with? I would suggest that you get confident with the sewing machine first? Maybe begin with a small project, a lot of the stuff I have is 'female focused' but a wash bag like this could work? My husband has one in tweed and one in wax cotton that he made and they look cool: madetosew.com/how-to-quilted-wash-bag/ Or you could make some Christmas gifts for friends / family? I have lots of beginners detailed tutorials for getting to know your machine. When it comes to garment sewing you could start with a basic t-shirt, or shorts or a shirt even? I must plan more men’s garments for the channel. Open to any suggestions. Thanks, Aneka
@@MadetoSew Aneka it soon will be winter and the weather will be cold 🥶 any suggestions on warm weather clothes for me Thank you kindly for responding back to me in 🇨🇦 #YSW Domenico ❤️ 😊
@@domenicomonteleone3055 Well my husband went from sewing pyjamas, to a shirt to a jacket, when he was learning!😆 So you can definitely challenge yourself with a jacket or coat. They are my favourite things to make. Frustratingly I don't have any mens patterns I can share right now, I am just about to launch a leather jacket pattern for women. I will have to do a male version. Very jealous of your cold weather coming, in the north of Australia (where I live at the moment) it is super hot. I would much rather sew a jacket / coat to wear.😃
@Made to Sew just beginning to learn to sew, and I picked you to be my instructor. Your clear and concise and you don't dumb down your instructions. I feel comfortable and I look forward to your class. Thank you. 😊
Very clear and concise course! I finally feel confident in cutting out and sewing from a pattern. 51 year old guy who’s never made clothing in his life. I’ll keep you posted!!
Building my courage to learn to sew after hand sewing some doll clothes. Your videos are helping to bring back learning from many years ago. Your videos are great so far! Thank you!
Aneka, I am feverishly taking notes as fast as I can type (and I type about 75 WPM). You have a wealth of information in your videos. I just stumbled across your channel. Although these videos are from a few years ago, I hope that you'll continue making videos on beginner sewing various projects that we can try to tackle. My entire life, I've always dreamt that I'd learn how to sew but never got around to it. When I was single, I bought a used machine in 1993 to try and learn but then "life happens" and then it the machine has just been sitting around since. Now that I am finally not working full time (but still am wife and mother)...at age 51, I've decided now is the time. I've waited long enough to pursue my hobby. I've always found sewing intimidating from threading the machine to learning the vocabulary on patterns. It's like a foreign language but you are so VERY thorough and patient. Such an amazing teacher you are. Even a dummy like me don't feel nearly as intimidated as this whole process is. I actually now think I can do this, of course with your knowledge, experience and your inspiration. Thank you!
Hi Eva, thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely message. And for sharing your wonderful sewing journey. I am really pleased that I can be part of your sewing progress. Aneka x
This has been the most informative, and well thought out instructional video for sewing beginners I've seen. I've watched a ton of them too, so thank you, I feel ready now.
My [American] husband reads and listens to so much world history and current events ... he stated one day that no one can string words together as coherently and confidently as a Brit can. ;) You are so right, Fountain; I second that.
You are simply amazing! I'm a beginner to sewing with in last couple of years and there's so much I have learned just from the last 2 sessions! Can't wait to watch every single one of your videos!!! Thank you for doing it!
I guess I don't need this specific part of your course at the moment. However, I have to say that this course is made with a lot of care for detail - and I really like it! Thanks for all the work and effort you have put in!
@@maveakoto3064 Of course, I have other videos that show how to work with dressmaking patterns. I didn't want to presume that everyone watching this video wanted to learn dressmaking, they might prefer quilting or home furnishings. :-))
I’ve just started to teach myself to sew Came across your series by chance and so glad I did! U make things, complicated by other tutorials, as simple as can be for a beginner! So impressed! Thanks 🙏🏼
I noticed that the views from video one to video two are literally two thirds less, and that's a shame because everyone really missed out. I am so grateful that you put this on TH-cam for all of us. I have already learned a ton of terminology and tricks and I'm only half way through this video. Thank you a million times over!
I particularly liked your tips on properly placing the pattern pieces on the fabric and how to align them with the selvage. Also, it helped me realize that a slight slant in placing one piece can damage a garment. Thank you very much!
I'm a middle-aged woman that grew up with a mom that sewed bridal gowns, prom dresses, pillows, & curtains. I never took an interest in sewing until now. My mom is not very good at teaching, she's tried many times 😁. I know absolutely NOTHING about sewing. Not even by hand. Sewing my kids dresses is my new years resolution. I'm determined to finally learn this year thanks to your extremely helpful videos.
Day 2 of our Beginners Sewing Course - learn all about fabric preparation. How to pin and cut out patterns as well as ways of marking fabric for professional results. Enjoy!
HI! Thanks for your lectures. I wish to know if there are possbilities of enrolling in a course with certificates? Thank you for helping us. Carry on you explanation.
I have only recently bought my own sewing machine, and after a bit of trial and error in finding a well made tutorial I am glad to have found yours. Right, off to watch Episode 3!
I have never sewn before and am watching a few of your videos before going out and purchasing everything. Trying to make a list of all I need: sewing machine, polyester thread, fabric, scissors, measuring tape, needles and pins. Thank you for your videos, wish me luck!
Hi Matilda, thank you for your lovely message. I wish you all the best with your sewing, you will be great! Good luck getting your supplies! :-)) Aneka x
Thank you for this! Trying out sewing in quarantine with my mums old sewing machine (it’s ancient 😂) this is super helpful and I feel confident cutting patterns without losing a finger thanks to this 😂 Stay safe in quarantine everyone!
Aneka: I start your videos today, I already know how to use a sewing machine, my mother sew all her life, but today i have learned something new, Perfect love, your video. From San Juan, P. R. Thank you.
I've Built Cars, Houses , Roads, Rockets and now ive promised my wife i'm going to make her a new Dress ! Never seen a sewing machine in my life. Here goes....
I suddenly just got the itch to learn how to sew and start making my own clothes and I came across your channel and in 2 videos I’ve learned so much! Thank you thank you thank you!
I just bought a sewing machine without knowing a clue about it or fabric or patterns...shoot I can barely hand sew. These tutorials are the best!!! Thank you 😊
Really excellent course. I grew up sewing (and at a time when home economics was a required course for girls and was held five days a week for an hour and ten minutes each day). We always had a sewing machine at home and made a lot of our own clothes and did any needed repairs. Over the years, I stopped sewing and forgot so much. Your excellent course is refreshing my memory and reviving my forgotten sewing skills. Thank you!
I just got a sewing machine ( Singer ) as graduation/birthday gift and i've been looking for a guide on youtube about the basics of sewing. Your lessons are very detailed and it helped me more than any other videos I've seen. Thank you!
I quite desperately wanted to learn how to sew but it's SO hard and there's way more to it than I ever imagined. I'm alone here actually starting to cry because I thought this was a way to afford to make things for my grandkids that live far away but now I'm unsure if it'll ever be a possibility. She's saying rip the material to make it true and I don't have a clue what that meant.. at.. all (I've never felt this useless).
So sorry Cheryl, I feel really awful that I made you feel like this. Please do not feel useless, it is a journey and I have tried to cover as much information as possible in one video. I am talking about how to make sure that the edge of the fabric is on the true horizontal grain. When you buy fabric you buy it in X metres or X yards; this amount that you purchase is measured along the length grain, selvedge edge of the fabric. This is the lengthwise grain, and is what you use as a guide when you put your pattern onto the fabric; aligning the arrow with the selvedge. Then the person who you buy your fabric from cuts the fabric, this is the horizontal grain and because they have cut it, it might not be correct. You can make it square / correct by tearing some fabrics, or you can pull on a thread, or draw a square line from the selvedge. I talk about nap and other fabric things in this video: th-cam.com/video/gX5t1YN_Nu4/w-d-xo.html it might help make sense of it?
I finally understood the whole grain line debacle. Only starting so not planning on garments at the moment but I sure will come back if I ever decide to build something. Thank you!!!!
The best tutorial for beginners. I'm a Brit now living in NZ and have had a Singer machine for two years and have been too scared to use it as the manual is rubbish. Thanks for this. Will now give it a go.
+squange20 Oh thank you for leaving such a lovely comment. I am really pleased that you have enjoyed the tutorials and I wish you all the best with your Singer machine. Any questions let me know! Hope your having an amazing time in NZ, I'm sure the weather is better :-)).
Nice easy to follow sewing tutorial. I am trying to get back what I had forgotten. Got a new sewing machine a few years back and now it is time to learn how to use it. You are a good teacher!
Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate your feedback. So pleased you like my tutorials and that I have been able to help you get back into sewing! Aneka
Thank you so very much for making these video's. Recently I found a second hand written sewing-cource and a bunch of 80's patterns. But these video step by step tutorials are brilliant, too! Thanks for all the knowledge you freely share!
That's ever so kind. Thank you for your lovely feedback. I'm really pleased you have found the videos useful and have enjoyed them! Your 80's patterns will be wonderful to play with!! Good luck with your sewing! X
This is amazing! Thank you so much! I have been sewing for a few years but have always made my own patterns and just recently bought some patterns. I opened them and immediately noticed there was so much I did not understand!!! This video cleared most of the confusion, and I am very grateful. Now I can try those projects more confidently
this tutorial is very helpful. I am just getting into sewing and the detail you give for the process is awesome. I have tried sewing in the past, only to get frustrated and give up because I didnt understand these details. I looked at patterns and they were like a foreign language to me. now I get what to do with all those markings. I am going to binge all of your videos. thank you for making this series.
Hi Robin, thanks so much for sharing your experience and writing such a lovely review. Really pleased you like my teaching style and that I could help you on the journey. Thanks, Aneka
I'm trying to make a handmade idea and I had no idea half of this information. I was gifted a new sewing machine for my birthday so I have a lot to learn.
This was a nice video also and there is so much valuable information on how to begin cutting material and using the patterns and how to work with them. The information you gave us is valuable to all of us who are beginners or upgraders and I hope to remember it.
You are absolutely the real MVP. I was thinking about taking sewing lessons, but this series gave me so much information that I’m going to try it myself! Thank you so much for the helpful content :)
@@MadetoSew my first sewing project (containing 4 way stretch materials) turned out great thanks to all of the information you gave me. Ps. Yes I know that I shouldn't have started with 4 way stretch and if you're a started too, please try non-stretchy materials first. Nonetheless, I managed to make my project and it came out okay (there is still some room for improvement, but that's okay. I didn't expect anything else) And I'm thrilled to try some other projects as well :)
@@sannevandervelden2040 So pleased that you had such a successful and challenging first project. Sometimes it is great to 'jump in the deep' end with a project - you learn quickly :-)). Aneka
Thank you for your video. I've sewn since I was about 10, but I haven't done much in the last 10 years (I'm in my 60s) and I'm eager to get back to doing some projects. I feel that I've lost some of the finer skills, but your videos have helped to encourage me and I've learnt something with each one video. I really like the way you mark your notches, I learnt to cut a triangle towards the outside of the pattern and have continued to do that - but your way is much more accurate and neat and I will keep it in mind next time I cut out a pattern.
Hi Jacqui, thank you for your lovely message. I am so pleased that you like my tutorials and that you find them helpful. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Good luck with your sewing. Aneka
Thank you so much for saying the lengths in centimetres! Inches don't make much sense to me (I live in NZ so use metric) but everything in sewing seems to be in inches and yards, I find it quite frustrating especially using the fractions! It's much easier to say 1cm than 5/8ths of an inch. I've just brought my first sewing machine and I have found these tutorials VERY helpful, you've done a really great job. I'm going to start with a pillowcase then move onto a shirt from Colette patterns.
Hi there, really pleased you like my tutorials. Thank you so much for your kind words. I tend to work in CM and INCH because I have some customers that prefer CM and others that prefer INCHs, so I try and make it easy for everyone. Thank you :-))
Another superb tutorial! I'm eagerly waiting for my first sewing machine to arrive this week. I'm going to make classic cut trousers for my husband. Keep the fingers crossed that I succeed.
Thank you for your lovely comment, I am so pleased you have enjoyed the tutorials and found them useful with your collection of vintage machines. What an amazing thing to collect! Really pleased that you are now able to use them. Good luck with your sewing!
I am refreshing my sewing skills after many years inactive (I'm on the beginner side of intermediate in my skill level). Your videos are so helpful! Thank you for your time and effort making these.
I’m watching your videos to go back to basics, as I’ve noticed my sewing has gotten a bit lazy lately. I love how thoroughly you go through things and give various options. When I was taught to sew, I was taught to cut my triangle notches out instead of in (if that makes sense) so there was a little sticky outy triangle that I trimmed after. This made sure I didn’t accidentally snip too far in when I was a beginner.
I've just ordered 6 easy sew patterns ranging from pj's, dresses and skirts since watching your videos. You are very easy to listen to and learn from. Thanks for the time you have taken putting these video classes on here for us new sewers :)
Oh thank you for your lovely message Beth. That is so very kind of you. I am really pleased you have enjoyed the videos and tutorials and I wish you all the best with your new patterns. Stay in touch and please feel free to ask any questions. I would love to see how you get on! Aneka :-))
Hi Khayyam, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Bev's recommendation of Jaycotts is great, I often use them. I also recommend Sew Direct for reasonably priced patterns (www.sewdirect.com/) Here is the pattern I was using in the video, it was only as an example (jaycotts.co.uk/products/v8815#.V5RvopODGko). I hope this helps! Aneka
+Khayyam Shakeel Oh I am so sorry to confuse you Khayyam. In this tutorial is used the Vogue 8815 (sewdirect.com/acatalog/Vogue-8815.html) but as an example, to show you how to follow the grain line and cut the fabric etc. You don't need to use this pattern, you can use any pattern as an example and follow what I did with the grain line etc. But if you would like to make this top you are welcome to use this pattern. Unfortunately I don't have a tutorial on how to make this top. Did you want to make the top? Or just follow the video for instructions on how to lay a pattern of your choice onto the fabric. I hope this helps? Any more questions let me know. Aneka :-))
I last made for myself about 34 years ago when my first child was born. I'm watching your videos as revision but skills I was taught at school are coming back. However I remember being told to cut notches out of the seam allowance and to transfer darts etc using tailor tacks. Never used carbon paper. So this will be new thing for me.
Hi Bev, lovely to hear from you. You can cut the notches out of the seam allowances, I also do this. I cut straight into the seam allowance, a very small snip (rather than a triangle, that can fray). However I try not to do this if I want to finish the seam allowances with the overlocker and don't plan to cut anything off (and the garment won't be lined), because then the snips can be seem through the overlocker. Hope this helps. Aneka
Hello! I just wanted to say that you're my best teacher! Out of all the sewing channels, I find the most elaborate and comprehensive classes from you and you only. I love how you use example and sample fabrics of stitches and tensions. It really helps not-so-bright beginners like me. I'm going through your videos like a marathon and everything seems so easy to understand. You're always so generous and detailed with your teaching. Thank you so much! I have a question however, I was hoping, if you see this comment out of hundreds, if you could do a tutorial on starter tools for beginners. For example: the notcher, awl, tracing wheel and each of their functions, also if you could mention the height of the pattern cutting table. I'm so glad I found you. I can't thank you enough. And, YOU ARE SO PRETTY! I hope you see my comment. Have a lovely day!
Bless you Sanjida, thank you for your lovely message. You are very kind. I am really pleased that you have enjoyed my tutorials and learned some new techniques. Of course I can film a video on the tools you need, I will add it to the list. I am just a bit behind with my filming at the moment so please bear with me. I will measure my table tomorrow and let you know the height. Good luck with your sewing, Aneka :-))
Hello Sanjida, I just remembered that I didn't measure the height of my tables for you. I tend to use them high for pattern cutting and standing work, they measure 91cm / 36" from the top of the table to the floor when they are high. I don't believe mine will go any higher than this. When they are lower for working on the sewing machine I tend to prefer a height of between 74cm 29" and 78cm 31". I hope this helps you. Aneka
+Cheryl Brockman that's such a lovely thing to say, thank you Cheryl. I am really pleased that I have been able to help and refresh your memory! Good luck with your sewing.
Same, Sissy and Aneka. New skills - or alternate ways of old skills - can always be learned (number of notches increasing toward the back of the garment, marking both sides of the fabric -- where have I been?). I'm picking up things here I apparently hadn't paid attention to in home economics or three decades of on-and-off sewing. :) Also, Aneka, you're lovely to listen to, and so clear in your teaching -- I really appreciate all the wonderful teaching you offer at no cost to us. Love from across The Pond.
How I wish I found your channel years ago❤️ This is just so amazing. Thank you so much for making sewing easy to understand. You have a new subscriber❤️
Another wonderful tutorial. Wonderfully detailed and informative. Much of it is review for me, but with enough new and practical information to greatly improve my skills. Thank you! And I’m so glad you use both metric and imperial measures. I’m more comfortable with imperial measures but want to learn metric well enough so As to be “fluent” in both. You are an excellent teacher with a lovely manner- so helpful while learning!
This is very good. I am just starting to sew and have been watching video, reading and gathering suppliess. My first project is a tailors ham and it has darts. I used my tracing wheel (without the paper) and went over it with the type of pen you show towards the end to draw where my darts should go. The paper looks more accurate.
i so much grateful for your video's if you would only know. i love to sew as a stay home mom with a son and daughter it love to make things for them and here I'm with my own classes in my home thank you so much
Hi Patsy, that is so lovely to hear I am really really pleased that you enjoy my tutorials - thank you so much for taking the time to comment and I wish you all the best with your home sewing :-)) Aneka x
I’m 63 years old and my mom and stepdad bought me a sewing machine 2 1/2 years ago very nice one I haven’t even opened it yet. I haven’t shown since I was a teenager 18 years old maybe a little bit in my beginning of 20s and I do not wanna ruin it so I have not unpacked it. My granddaughter is six years old and I’ve been wanting to make her summer dresses and different things for her roomand I have been looking for classes, but you don’t really find anything good out there and I’m sure as I watch this video. It’s definitely a different type of sewing. It’s funny I had. An old-time sewing machine when I was young so all this stuff is very much updated so I am ready to take one. It would be nice if I could go and take classes with her. I’m still a little leery of taking it out, I don’t wanna ruin anything. I wanna be respectful of the machine, so I’m gonna continue to watch your tutorials and I am so appreciative and so grateful and thankful for you to take the time out of your time and your day to teach people like us or even experience people that has tricks so I’m hoping you can teach an older MomMom new tricks
Wow, how can someone dislike it? the care for detail is beautiful. Thanks so much for what you do!! x

I’ve just started to teach myself to sew
Came across your series by chance and so glad I did!
U make things, complicated by other tutorials, as simple as can be for a beginner!
So impressed! Thanks 🙏🏼
You are so welcome!
I noticed that the views from video one to video two are literally two thirds less, and that's a shame because everyone really missed out. I am so grateful that you put this on TH-cam for all of us. I have already learned a ton of terminology and tricks and I'm only half way through this video. Thank you a million times over!
Thank you so much for your lovely words, that is very very kind of you. So pleased you liked it. Aneka :-))
The way you explain this art is so beautiful, you deserve better.
Thank you.
I particularly liked your tips on properly placing the pattern pieces on the fabric and how to align them with the selvage. Also, it helped me realize that a slight slant in placing one piece can damage a garment.
Thank you very much!
Glad I could help. Thank you.
Excellent refresher for anyone who's been away from sewing, as well!
Thank you.

Thank YOU, Aneka, for taking the time to do this!
I'm a middle-aged woman that grew up with a mom that sewed bridal gowns, prom dresses, pillows, & curtains. I never took an interest in sewing until now. My mom is not very good at teaching, she's tried many times 😁. I know absolutely NOTHING about sewing. Not even by hand. Sewing my kids dresses is my new years resolution. I'm determined to finally learn this year thanks to your extremely helpful videos.
So pleased. 💖
Day 2 of our Beginners Sewing Course - learn all about fabric preparation. How to pin and cut out patterns as well as ways of marking fabric for professional results.
Enjoy!
Thanks
HI! Thanks for your lectures. I wish to know if there are possbilities of enrolling in a course with certificates? Thank you for helping us. Carry on you explanation.
@@Simou2341 I am planning some Online Courses on my website - launching January time. These can have certificates. :-))
@Ama Plange Yes. I have a video planned on my website for drafting a sewing an A Line Skirt. :-))
@@Sharifahfoulkes Thank you.
I have only recently bought my own sewing machine, and after a bit of trial and error in finding a well made tutorial I am glad to have found yours.
Right, off to watch Episode 3!
bandiceet thank you, that is such a lovely thing to say. So pleased I could help. Thank you, Aneka x
I plan to start sewing..and your videos are helping me so much! I love the information! thank you!!
Hi Nicholas, so pleased I can help you with your sewing. Good luck! Aneka
Thank you. 2024 and learned so much already. Good pace and great tips. Thank you. Looking forward to Day 3
Thank you so much - I'm loving this. At last a course which really is for total beginners. I love your clarity and attention to detail.
Thank you for your kind words Debbie, I'm so pleased you are finding it helpful.
I have never sewn before and am watching a few of your videos before going out and purchasing everything. Trying to make a list of all I need: sewing machine, polyester thread, fabric, scissors, measuring tape, needles and pins. Thank you for your videos, wish me luck!
Hi Matilda, thank you for your lovely message. I wish you all the best with your sewing, you will be great! Good luck getting your supplies! :-)) Aneka x
how'd your sewing journey go!
Saaaaaame. Bought the machine and had it stashed for months now I opened it and I’m seeing it didn’t come with thread 🧵😿 need a list of stuff
I have not sewn in a very long while and following your course is a great reintroduction into one of my favorite hobbies. Thank you so much.
H Joan, thank you for your lovely message. Really pleased I could help. Wishing you all the best with your hobby again. Aneka
I’m a beginner and found your tutorials to be very professional. I had so many questions that you answered. Thank you
Thank you so much Melanie, wishing you all the best with your sewing. Aneka
Thank you for this! Trying out sewing in quarantine with my mums old sewing machine (it’s ancient 😂) this is super helpful and I feel confident cutting patterns without losing a finger thanks to this 😂
Stay safe in quarantine everyone!
Thanks Archie. Stay safe too. :-)) And good luck with the sewing.
Ooh your mom is also saying u to learn sewing with ancient machine
I thought it was just me
Brilliant course. Couldn't wish for a better teacher. So professional, better than going to a class.
Love your lessons. So well explained and with such a pleasant voice and knowable teacher, thankyou
Thank you very much.
Your videos are really helping me. I love that you can explain and show things in a way that even real begginers can understand!
Thank you.
Aneka: I start your videos today, I already know how to use a sewing machine, my mother
sew all her life, but today i have learned something new, Perfect love, your video. From San Juan, P. R. Thank you.
Thank you so much Haydee. 💖
I've Built Cars, Houses , Roads, Rockets and now ive promised my wife i'm going to make her a new Dress ! Never seen a sewing machine in my life. Here goes....
This is so exciting Jason. Good luck!
Same.... I want to make her 👗 and make my own suits for any occasion ✌️😁
Jason Clark
Ok so updates.
So cute
Jason Clark.... How did it go ??
I suddenly just got the itch to learn how to sew and start making my own clothes and I came across your channel and in 2 videos I’ve learned so much! Thank you thank you thank you!
Hi Amanda, so pleased I could help. Thank you. Aneka x
Thank you!! I haven't used a pattern since middle school and I couldn't a good video until yours. Thank you!
Glad it helped Kerrie. Aneka x
I just bought a sewing machine without knowing a clue about it or fabric or patterns...shoot I can barely hand sew. These tutorials are the best!!! Thank you 😊
Thanks so much Laura.
This is so good! I'm taking notes for my sewing binder. Treating it like a class. Thank you!
Single best tutorials ever for new seamstresses. Thank you
Thank you. I'm pleased you have found it helpful.
Really excellent course. I grew up sewing (and at a time when home economics was a required course for girls and was held five days a week for an hour and ten minutes each day). We always had a sewing machine at home and made a lot of our own clothes and did any needed repairs. Over the years, I stopped sewing and forgot so much. Your excellent course is refreshing my memory and reviving my forgotten sewing skills. Thank you!
So glad I could help you get back to what you know. It is a shame that sewing isn’t taught at school very much any more. Wishing you all the best.
@@MadetoSew - I wish you the best too. Thank you for your kind reply!
I am about to teach my Granddaughter to sew and your tutorial’s have given me so much help in how to star thank you
So pleased I could help. Aneka x
So glad I found this class series, I’ve been afraid of trying a pattern but I may jump into one now 😃
So pleased I could help Sonya.
I just got a sewing machine ( Singer ) as graduation/birthday gift and i've been looking for a guide on youtube about the basics of sewing. Your lessons are very detailed and it helped me more than any other videos I've seen. Thank you!
Thanks so much, I am so pleased I could help.
I quite desperately wanted to learn how to sew but it's SO hard and there's way more to it than I ever imagined. I'm alone here actually starting to cry because I thought this was a way to afford to make things for my grandkids that live far away but now I'm unsure if it'll ever be a possibility. She's saying rip the material to make it true and I don't have a clue what that meant.. at.. all (I've never felt this useless).
So sorry Cheryl, I feel really awful that I made you feel like this. Please do not feel useless, it is a journey and I have tried to cover as much information as possible in one video.
I am talking about how to make sure that the edge of the fabric is on the true horizontal grain. When you buy fabric you buy it in X metres or X yards; this amount that you purchase is measured along the length grain, selvedge edge of the fabric. This is the lengthwise grain, and is what you use as a guide when you put your pattern onto the fabric; aligning the arrow with the selvedge.
Then the person who you buy your fabric from cuts the fabric, this is the horizontal grain and because they have cut it, it might not be correct. You can make it square / correct by tearing some fabrics, or you can pull on a thread, or draw a square line from the selvedge.
I talk about nap and other fabric things in this video: th-cam.com/video/gX5t1YN_Nu4/w-d-xo.html it might help make sense of it?
Don't give up.Keep trying.
Hi. How do I make patterns 😢
I finally understood the whole grain line debacle. Only starting so not planning on garments at the moment but I sure will come back if I ever decide to build something. Thank you!!!!
Wonderful. Glad I could help you.
The best tutorial for beginners. I'm a Brit now living in NZ and have had a Singer machine for two years and have been too scared to use it as the manual is rubbish. Thanks for this. Will now give it a go.
+squange20 Oh thank you for leaving such a lovely comment. I am really pleased that you have enjoyed the tutorials and I wish you all the best with your Singer machine. Any questions let me know! Hope your having an amazing time in NZ, I'm sure the weather is better :-)).
Nice easy to follow sewing tutorial. I am trying to get back what I had forgotten. Got a new sewing machine a few years back and now it is time to learn how to use it. You are a good teacher!
Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate your feedback. So pleased you like my tutorials and that I have been able to help you get back into sewing! Aneka
You just cover everything, it’s marvelous! Thank you so much.
Amazing, thank you.
Thank you so very much for making these video's. Recently I found a second hand written sewing-cource and a bunch of 80's patterns. But these video step by step tutorials are brilliant, too! Thanks for all the knowledge you freely share!
That's ever so kind. Thank you for your lovely feedback. I'm really pleased you have found the videos useful and have enjoyed them! Your 80's patterns will be wonderful to play with!! Good luck with your sewing! X
This is amazing! Thank you so much! I have been sewing for a few years but have always made my own patterns and just recently bought some patterns. I opened them and immediately noticed there was so much I did not understand!!! This video cleared most of the confusion, and I am very grateful. Now I can try those projects more confidently
Thank you so much and so pleased I could help. :-))
this tutorial is very helpful. I am just getting into sewing and the detail you give for the process is awesome. I have tried sewing in the past, only to get frustrated and give up because I didnt understand these details. I looked at patterns and they were like a foreign language to me. now I get what to do with all those markings. I am going to binge all of your videos. thank you for making this series.
Hi Robin, thanks so much for sharing your experience and writing such a lovely review. Really pleased you like my teaching style and that I could help you on the journey. Thanks, Aneka
I'm trying to make a handmade idea and I had no idea half of this information. I was gifted a new sewing machine for my birthday so I have a lot to learn.
So pleased you are starting on this journey. Good luck! 💖
Oh, your instructions are so easy to understand. I thank you for your time you put into your channel. Best of luck to you.
Thank you so much!
Thank you Aneka for putting the links of second and the rest of sections on the link below this video, was a great idea 👍
You are so welcome!
This was a nice video also and there is so much valuable information on how to begin cutting material and using the patterns and how to work with them. The information you gave us is valuable to all of us who are beginners or upgraders and I hope to remember it.
Thanks so much Sidney, I am really pleased you found it useful.
You are absolutely the real MVP. I was thinking about taking sewing lessons, but this series gave me so much information that I’m going to try it myself! Thank you so much for the helpful content :)
So pleased I could help you on your sewing journey! Thanks for the lovely message! Aneka x
@@MadetoSew my first sewing project (containing 4 way stretch materials) turned out great thanks to all of the information you gave me.
Ps. Yes I know that I shouldn't have started with 4 way stretch and if you're a started too, please try non-stretchy materials first. Nonetheless, I managed to make my project and it came out okay (there is still some room for improvement, but that's okay. I didn't expect anything else) And I'm thrilled to try some other projects as well :)
@@sannevandervelden2040 So pleased that you had such a successful and challenging first project. Sometimes it is great to 'jump in the deep' end with a project - you learn quickly :-)). Aneka
Thank you for your video. I've sewn since I was about 10, but I haven't done much in the last 10 years (I'm in my 60s) and I'm eager to get back to doing some projects. I feel that I've lost some of the finer skills, but your videos have helped to encourage me and I've learnt something with each one video. I really like the way you mark your notches, I learnt to cut a triangle towards the outside of the pattern and have continued to do that - but your way is much more accurate and neat and I will keep it in mind next time I cut out a pattern.
thank you so much for your videos , I'm learning how to sew and I don't have time to go to a live class , and you explain things perfectly. blessings
Hi Jacqui, thank you for your lovely message. I am so pleased that you like my tutorials and that you find them helpful. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Good luck with your sewing. Aneka
Thank you so much for saying the lengths in centimetres! Inches don't make much sense to me (I live in NZ so use metric) but everything in sewing seems to be in inches and yards, I find it quite frustrating especially using the fractions! It's much easier to say 1cm than 5/8ths of an inch. I've just brought my first sewing machine and I have found these tutorials VERY helpful, you've done a really great job. I'm going to start with a pillowcase then move onto a shirt from Colette patterns.
Hi there, really pleased you like my tutorials. Thank you so much for your kind words. I tend to work in CM and INCH because I have some customers that prefer CM and others that prefer INCHs, so I try and make it easy for everyone. Thank you :-))
Another superb tutorial! I'm eagerly waiting for my first sewing machine to arrive this week. I'm going to make classic cut trousers for my husband. Keep the fingers crossed that I succeed.
Wonderful, glad I could help. Wishing you all the best sewing the trousers.
Great tutorials, thanks for taking the time to make them. I collect vintage sewing machines and your vids have helped me to actually use them.
Thank you for your lovely comment, I am so pleased you have enjoyed the tutorials and found them useful with your collection of vintage machines. What an amazing thing to collect! Really pleased that you are now able to use them. Good luck with your sewing!
I am refreshing my sewing skills after many years inactive (I'm on the beginner side of intermediate in my skill level). Your videos are so helpful! Thank you for your time and effort making these.
Thank you for your lovely words. I am so pleased that you like my videos. Thank you, Aneka x
I’m watching your videos to go back to basics, as I’ve noticed my sewing has gotten a bit lazy lately. I love how thoroughly you go through things and give various options. When I was taught to sew, I was taught to cut my triangle notches out instead of in (if that makes sense) so there was a little sticky outy triangle that I trimmed after. This made sure I didn’t accidentally snip too far in when I was a beginner.
Thank you for your kind words. That's a good idea. Thank you for sharing.
Aneka you are a wonderful teacher and your videos are clear and detailed. Thank you for sharing!!
Hi Andrea, thank you so much for your lovely words, so pleased you liked it. Aneka x
I really appreciate your instruction style. You seem very organized and it's easy to follow you. Thank you!
Hi Tricia, thank you for your lovely message. Really pleased you like my style of teaching and have enjoyed the videos so far. Good luck, Aneka
I've just ordered 6 easy sew patterns ranging from pj's, dresses and skirts since watching your videos. You are very easy to listen to and learn from. Thanks for the time you have taken putting these video classes on here for us new sewers :)
Oh thank you for your lovely message Beth. That is so very kind of you. I am really pleased you have enjoyed the videos and tutorials and I wish you all the best with your new patterns. Stay in touch and please feel free to ask any questions. I would love to see how you get on! Aneka :-))
+Khayyam Shakeel
Hi Khayyam. I ordered my patterns from
www.jaycotts.co.uk
Hi Khayyam, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Bev's recommendation of Jaycotts is great, I often use them. I also recommend Sew Direct for reasonably priced patterns (www.sewdirect.com/) Here is the pattern I was using in the video, it was only as an example (jaycotts.co.uk/products/v8815#.V5RvopODGko). I hope this helps! Aneka
Thank you Bev! :-))
+Khayyam Shakeel Oh I am so sorry to confuse you Khayyam. In this tutorial is used the Vogue 8815 (sewdirect.com/acatalog/Vogue-8815.html) but as an example, to show you how to follow the grain line and cut the fabric etc. You don't need to use this pattern, you can use any pattern as an example and follow what I did with the grain line etc. But if you would like to make this top you are welcome to use this pattern. Unfortunately I don't have a tutorial on how to make this top. Did you want to make the top? Or just follow the video for instructions on how to lay a pattern of your choice onto the fabric. I hope this helps? Any more questions let me know. Aneka :-))
I last made for myself about 34 years ago when my first child was born. I'm watching your videos as revision but skills I was taught at school are coming back. However I remember being told to cut notches out of the seam allowance and to transfer darts etc using tailor tacks. Never used carbon paper. So this will be new thing for me.
Hi Bev, lovely to hear from you. You can cut the notches out of the seam allowances, I also do this. I cut straight into the seam allowance, a very small snip (rather than a triangle, that can fray). However I try not to do this if I want to finish the seam allowances with the overlocker and don't plan to cut anything off (and the garment won't be lined), because then the snips can be seem through the overlocker. Hope this helps. Aneka
This is a very explicit explanation extremely helpful.
Hello! I just wanted to say that you're my best teacher! Out of all the sewing channels, I find the most elaborate and comprehensive classes from you and you only. I love how you use example and sample fabrics of stitches and tensions. It really helps not-so-bright beginners like me. I'm going through your videos like a marathon and everything seems so easy to understand. You're always so generous and detailed with your teaching. Thank you so much! I have a question however, I was hoping, if you see this comment out of hundreds, if you could do a tutorial on starter tools for beginners. For example: the notcher, awl, tracing wheel and each of their functions, also if you could mention the height of the pattern cutting table. I'm so glad I found you. I can't thank you enough. And, YOU ARE SO PRETTY! I hope you see my comment. Have a lovely day!
Bless you Sanjida, thank you for your lovely message. You are very kind. I am really pleased that you have enjoyed my tutorials and learned some new techniques. Of course I can film a video on the tools you need, I will add it to the list. I am just a bit behind with my filming at the moment so please bear with me. I will measure my table tomorrow and let you know the height. Good luck with your sewing, Aneka :-))
Hello Sanjida, I just remembered that I didn't measure the height of my tables for you. I tend to use them high for pattern cutting and standing work, they measure 91cm / 36" from the top of the table to the floor when they are high. I don't believe mine will go any higher than this. When they are lower for working on the sewing machine I tend to prefer a height of between 74cm 29" and 78cm 31". I hope this helps you. Aneka
It's been so many years since I've sewn... Your videos are a God send for refreshing the memory, lol.. Thankyou! 😆
+Cheryl Brockman that's such a lovely thing to say, thank you Cheryl. I am really pleased that I have been able to help and refresh your memory! Good luck with your sewing.
+Made To Sew 😆
Same, Sissy and Aneka. New skills - or alternate ways of old skills - can always be learned (number of notches increasing toward the back of the garment, marking both sides of the fabric -- where have I been?). I'm picking up things here I apparently hadn't paid attention to in home economics or three decades of on-and-off sewing. :) Also, Aneka, you're lovely to listen to, and so clear in your teaching -- I really appreciate all the wonderful teaching you offer at no cost to us. Love from across The Pond.
Hi Tracy, thank you for your lovely message. So pleased I could help and that you have learned new things from my video. Thank you! Aneka xx
How I wish I found your channel years ago❤️ This is just so amazing. Thank you so much for making sewing easy to understand. You have a new subscriber❤️
You are so welcome! Thank you for your kind words.
These videos are great. They are exactly what I need right now. Thank you!
Thank you :-))
Wow, I just learned about 12 things. Thank you, well done!
Thanks very much Michelle. Aneka
Wow! These series are a gem! Really excited to try
Very helpful! Purchased my first pattern and this helped me understand the markings on the pattern pieces!
+Donna ONeill Wonderful news, I am really pleased I could help. Thank you.
Amazing video explained so clearly explained at the right speed, easy to follow. loved it
Thanks so much Chaula
This video is exactly what I was looking so. So invaluable. Thanks so much! Xx
Glad it helped you. Such a pleasure xx
Another wonderful tutorial. Wonderfully detailed and informative. Much of it is review for me, but with enough new and practical information to greatly improve my skills. Thank you! And I’m so glad you use both metric and imperial measures. I’m more comfortable with imperial measures but want to learn metric well enough so As to be “fluent” in both. You are an excellent teacher with a lovely manner- so helpful while learning!
Thanks so much Anna. So pleased you like my style of teaching. Aneka x
Thank you. Love your easy to follow sewing demonstrations.
Thank you Maria. Aneka x
This is very good. I am just starting to sew and have been watching video, reading and gathering suppliess. My first project is a tailors ham and it has darts. I used my tracing wheel (without the paper) and went over it with the type of pen you show towards the end to draw where my darts should go. The paper looks more accurate.
Really pleased I could help Carol. The carbon paper & tracing wheel method is both accurate and quick! Good luck with your sewing.
i so much grateful for your video's if you would only know. i love to sew as a stay home mom with a son and daughter it love to make things for them and here I'm with my own classes in my home thank you so much

I’m 63 years old and my mom and stepdad bought me a sewing machine 2 1/2 years ago very nice one I haven’t even opened it yet. I haven’t shown since I was a teenager 18 years old maybe a little bit in my beginning of 20s and I do not wanna ruin it so I have not unpacked it. My granddaughter is six years old and I’ve been wanting to make her summer dresses and different things for her roomand I have been looking for classes, but you don’t really find anything good out there and I’m sure as I watch this video. It’s definitely a different type of sewing. It’s funny I had. An old-time sewing machine when I was young so all this stuff is very much updated so I am ready to take one. It would be nice if I could go and take classes with her. I’m still a little leery of taking it out, I don’t wanna ruin anything. I wanna be respectful of the machine, so I’m gonna continue to watch your tutorials and I am so appreciative and so grateful and thankful for you to take the time out of your time and your day to teach people like us or even experience people that has tricks so I’m hoping you can teach an older MomMom new tricks
I have 2 books and you cover both of them and more. Love 💗 your accent.
Thank you for your lovely words. :-)) Aneka x
