Ah bless you for sharing your June make, not every blogger would be so open and ask us to laugh with you.... (I did - but more at your response then the resulting shorts) sewing is such a huge learning curve - as it should be 😉 long may you carry on learning and sharing your sewing journey with us you lovely lady xx
Thank you so much Chelbyuk, I appreciate that! Thanks for watching and laughing - LOL!
Great sewing plans and I truly can’t wait to see your “anniversary” collection! I can totally understand when you say how busy you’ve been...I just got back from vacation and felt like I never got ANYTHING done! As far as laughing...🤣🤣🤣! I was rolling when you started doing your dance, LOVED IT!! My first pair of shorts of the year turned out to big too and I just learned from you to laugh about it! (Because you can always remake it! And I did!)
Myra, glad you got a good laugh! I'm SOOOO ready for vacation. It's nice now I can totally focus on the collection, I'm looking forward to how it will all turn out.
I am a beginner sewer and you encouraged me even pros make mistakes lol you made me laugh so hard because you laughed at yourself those shorts 🤣😂😀🤗
Hahahah, I'm not close to a pro, but I have realized during this sewing journey we can't take ourselves to serious or we'll just defeat enjoying what we do. Thanks for watching.
That's a great tip tracing the pockets or facing into the actual pattern. I don't make many adjustments when I sew just than the bust adjustment
Thank you, when I saw that mentioned on Craftsy, I was like "brilliant" no need in trying to fuss with the pattern piece. LOL
😆😆😆 reminds me of a pair of shorts I made once. We joked I’d fly away in a stiff breeze.
Really enjoy your work ❤️
That's hillarious! Thanks for watching.
I'm so glad you shared this! it's so nice to see the real side of the journey. I know for me it helps keep me moving right along. I cannot tell you how many "garments" have ended up in the trash hot off the machine. Can't wait to see your next video. so excited for you and I'm loving the anniversay sewing updates!! xoxo
Thanks so much Sonia! Yes, we gotta keep at it otherwise we would give up, right - LOL! Thank you for watching.
Lol, your reaction to the shorts is my reaction to most of my clothing makes since I'm a beginner, one day I'll get it right. Great video, tfs! Can't wait for the new makes.
Tina, we just gotta keep plugging away. The more we do it, the better we get. Since I've never made these before or this style before it was a great learning lesson for sure. Thanks for watching.
Oh my goodness those looked huge on you lol. I had to laugh with you. It’s ok. It happens to us all. I’m loving the purple material and flowery material for the shirt. Can’t wait to see you in them.
Thank you Zina, glad you had a good laugh. Purple is my favorite color, so I'm hoping the final look is what I envisioned in my head. Thanks for watching.
When a sewing project doesn’t go as planned, those are the times we learn great lessons that you will remember for a long time😀
So true Colleen and thanks for stopping by! Thanks for watching.
No problem.
Thanks for sharing!! :) I loved it, and learning on top of having a good time ;0, I can't wait to see the final one.
Thank you Lorraine and stay tuned, I'm definitely doing them again.
You are too cute! I think the culottes style is a tricky one, so my hat is off to you for making them! The purple outfit is so chic and beautiful. Love your video -- I've had those LOL projects before. Sometimes it's laugh or cry...I'd rather laugh!!
I agree, it's better just to laugh! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for cheering me up.I love your honesty and showing us the oversized shorts, Onward and upwards.
Yep, Onwards and Upwards - LOL!
Love it! I laughed and laughed...especially the poop bit! You win some you lose some. Nice that you have such a great attitude!
That's exactly it, just gotta laugh sometimes or you'll cry and I enjoy sewing and learning, so gotta keep pushing through this journey. Thanks for watching.
I sewed the same just the D. They are BIG. With WIDE legs. Easy sew.
You are right, such an EASY sew, definitely doing them again without all those adjustments - LOL! Thanks for watching.
The video of you wiggling around in them is hilarious! The 💩 bit.... oh my! I can’t wait to see your final version as I envision it looking great on you. This is helpful for sure.... learning is always there when things like this happen. For entertainment value: it’s GOLD.
Exactly Karina, this definitely was pure entertainment. The next pair will look MUCH better for sure. Thanks for watching.
:) :) :) It's good that we can laugh at ourselves! I make horrendous mistakes, but still keep my sense of humour about it! TFS xx
So true Hazel, so true!
Bahahahaha I had a very good laugh so thank you
Too funny! It seems that the lessons I learn from my fails are the lessons I learn the best. Thanks for sharing-it's good to laugh at ourselves.
Yep, Charlene that's how I'm feeling as of late. Especially since I'm really working on getting fit right. Thank you for watching.
hi sewy sewy here we have all made those shorts that either wont go over hips oe we fit in one leg lol your next ones wii be great that type of shorts are always great looking have a great day
Thank you Sharon, I think this is really a great simple pattern. Will definitely show my next try at it. Thanks for watching.
You do yourself an injustice on your comments about your shorts. I think it sounds like you did all the right things.But from my years of experience of making skirts and pants I have learned never to make anything with pleats or gathers at the front of the garment. Whilst I can get away with making dresses like that I have always found that the waisted garments have never been anywhere near flattering on me. They emphasise the belly and like yours never ever seem to hang like the ones on the slim models or the pattern photos.
If it were me I'd give that pattern a wide berth and find a culotte style pattern with a more flattering front. 10/10 for making them. ;-)
Enjoy your holidays. ;-)
Oh no, no injustice at all. I'm just not taking myself that seriously, that's why I say "laugh it's okay". I know with this pattern, the things I would normally do wasn't really necessary, but that's where the learning for me came in; as I've never done a pattern like this before so I had no idea the outcome would be like this - LOL! Now I know. I actually think it's a good pattern and will do it again without all that fussing around with adjustments that I did. I actually like the front on this pattern. I'll know for sure once I do it again whether I'll hang on to it, so not giving up on it yet. Thanks for commenting
Ha ha! Good luck with the next ones then. ;-) x
As a fellow plus size girl I know what was going to happen before I saw those shorts. During your list of adjustments made I muttered that's too much. lol! Keep trying though, I was tiny when I learned to sew and I'm not anymore so I totally get the fit problem. I bomb sometimes too so know you are not alone!
Joanne, THANK YOU....as I was preparing to make the adjustments, I was thinking "um, this looks like to much" but I powered on, not taking into consideration the finished garment measurements or drape of the final garment - LOL! But hey, I just laugh, it's all good, I'm still learning. Thanks for watching.
Oh my goodness-that was hilarious! I recently learned the same lesson about how much ease can really affect the fit of a garment and stood in front of the mirror laughing at myself, too. I think your final version will look fabulous and am looking forward to seeing it.
Thanks so much Laura, I agree...it's okay to laugh at ourselves. The next pair will be fine. Thanks for watching.
Yes, that was funny especially the extra piece you mentioned in the back, the “poop” part 🤣, oh there’s no delay.
LOL!!! So funny
Thank you for sharing...that was great! And it is always great to know that someone else has done the exact same things!!Some times a person just has to try without the adjustments!
Yep, and next time.....no added adjustments....it was too much - LOL!
WE SEW, WE LEARN , WE LAUGH! Thanks SO much for this ! I learned something!
EXACTLY!!!!
OMG!!! I was over here dying over your little poo pouch!!!! I know exactly this feeling!!! Sometimes you gotta just laugh and call it a lesson learned!.
Glad i made you laugh and yes, if we don't laugh we will take this lovely hobby and turn it into a burden and I enjoy sewing too much for that. Thanks for watching.
So so funny Nateida! I'm glad you could laugh about it--I know pants fitting is a kick in the head at times!
Yes, gotta be able to laugh!
😂😂😂 tfs, I made some duds, I should have laughed at myself instead of getting frustrated! New subbie here 😀
LOL, glad you got a good laugh, thanks for subscribing.
😂 Thanks for sharing a sewing fail, sometimes it happens but we keep on moving to the next project.
Exactly
Been there, done that, so I know exactly how you feel. And yes. you have to maintain a sense of humor about it! :)
EXACTLY....I totally agree!
I’ve been there. Thanks for sharing your fun fail. It’s always good to know it’s not JUST ME😂 After a fail, I usually sew a great one next!
Patricia and that's what I'm thinking, the projects I have going on now will be a success - LOL! Thanks for watching.
Oh Dear-back to the drawing board. I am glad you were not mad at yourself after all those adjustments.
Hahaha, no, not made at all. That's why I say can't take this stuff so seriously and it's part of the learning process. Next go round will not be like this - LOL! thanks for watching.
Oh, bless you Natieda 😂....they do look to big on you and non of us want that do we......loved the jiggle 😁 😉. We all learn from our makes and it's so lovely of you to show us yours and especially the ones that your not particularly happy with. I'm sure that you will make them again and nail it next time👌. Thanks for sharing Natieda 😊😘
Thanks so much Sally! Glad you enjoyed it and yes next time I'm not doing all those crazy adjustments for this type of style. It's a really easy sew actually! Thanks for watching.
LOL Love that you can laugh at yourself! Enjoyed the video and the honesty :) Also, looking forward to seeing your other makes.
Thank you lady!
Please make s video of how you adjust and fit your patterns! I’d love to see what you are talking about. I have to adjust mine some to fit my measurements but not more than a inch or so. I have 2 methods I use. Or I make a toile.
I sure will, I plan to share more on how I do my adjustments as I get comfortable with it. Right now since I'm still learning I'd hate to show something that is totally wrong and lead people down the wrong path. So stay tuned and thanks for watching.
You are so fun! Love how you are committed to get the best fit. Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you Andreanne and thanks for watching.
You are hilarious! ❤️
😂😂😂 I made these too! Such an odd fit on me.
I'm going to definitely give them another try without all that extra adjusting. We shall see how it goes. Thanks for watching.
Laughing with you lovely lady.
😂😂😂 Yes, I guess you overshot the fit just a “bit”! But I’m sure those pants have provided a lesson you won’t soon forget. Glad you can see the humor in them too.
Hahahaha, exactly!
It's good to be able to laugh at yourself, lol:) Since your last video I downloaded the Itch to Stitch petal skirt and sent it to my husband to get printed (with about four other patterns, lol😁.
Yes, I agree we gotta laugh during this sewing journey! Oh, nice and that's an easy sew, I bet you will like it. Thanks for watching.
THANKS FOR SHARING DEAR, YOU ARE JUST THE BEST!!! SHOWING THE GOOD AND BAD, IS HELPFUL TO ALL. I THINK YOU MAY NEED TO TAKE IN TO CONSIDERATIONS, THAT YOU ARE A QUITE A BIT SMALLER AND YOU MAY NOT NEED SOO MANY ADJUSTMENTS!!! YOU ARE LOOKING ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!!
Thank you Retia, I appreciate that. I'll definitely share my next pair I make as I think this is a really good and easy pattern.
😂😂, thanks for sharing. Maybe you can salvage some of the material instead of trashing it
The shorts, I decided to keep as lounge shorts, but there was a small bit of the fabric left I just trashed, I'll never go back to it and it's to fiddly to donate.
Lol I was expecting something terrible. They were waaaay big on you lol
They sure are
You are so funny. So glad you can laugh at this make - sometimes sewing can be soul destroying. Looking at the pattern I doubt you would need any adjustments other than crotch depth, as the line drawing shows a lot of wearing ease.
Thank you Janine, yep you are right that's all I'm doing next time is the crotch depth adjustment. After the Carolyn PJ bottoms I knew better than to let this totally derail my efforts. Just gotta laugh, thanks for watching.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😉 you looked so funny in those shorts but I think they will suit you if you can stop yourself from adjusting the hell out of them 😏 maybe now you have lost quite a bit of weight you won't need so many adjustments to your clothes that may have confused you as you think of yourself as a larger lady still.
Have a wonderful anniversary holiday.
Thanks so much Julie - LOL! Yeah, I've never made shorts like this before, so I didn't take in account the finished garment measurements or the drape.....NOW I know hahahah and definitely will not over adjust the next go round. Thanks for watching.
I just finished making this pattern. I could.not see a finished garment size for the waist or hips maybe it's because of the elastic. So when I started making the pleates I made them narrow to give me a better fit as I thought the waist looked too small.... big mistake, I forgot about the actual waist band and had to draft a larger piece, in the end they were so big, but I made the elastic shorter. They fit ok, but making another pair without any adjustments. Hoping the front will hang better as it looks a bit like a nappy when I walk hahaha.
hahahaha, that's funny. I haven't tried these again, as I do like the Helen's closet Winslow Culottes. This was so funny, but I gave it a try. Thank you for watching.
@@SewNaturalDane I absolutely love your videos xxxx
I just rolled on the floor with that 💩💩pant section. Lol.
Told you....HILARIOUS...sometimes we just gotta laugh
🤣🤣🤣 bless you.. we’ve all been there 😘👍🏼
I laughed, blessings
lol, I'm cracking up I've been there too! 😂😂
I love your sense of humour. God bless you. I plan to make the longer version. My waist is 34" (size 20) but size 20 finished measurement is 37.5".
I am not sure ...would you recommend that i do a size 18, which has a finished waist measurement of 35.5", or a straight size 20??
For this one, I highly recommend doing the size 18 in a muslin first. I truly did find that this pattern ran extremely big even if you are focusing on your measurements. You may find you need to grade between sizes. Hope that helps, but definitely do a muslin first.
@@SewNaturalDane thank you. I will definitely do a muslin as I have to lengthen both the front and back crotch curve. Keep the videos coming ♥️🇬🇧
I laughed 💜😂
Glad you had a laugh!
😂😂😂😂😂😂. We’ve all been there 🙄.
Thank you - LOL!
I have those pants and this is the reason I am so scared of making them! LOL I was worried about what edits I should and shouldn't make. Do I graded in at the waist like I usually do? Do I make them bigger at the hips like I normally would? I just want them to have the same finished look as they are intended! Oh well, I guess I'll just have to trial and error them like you. Thanks for sharing!
Yep, that's how I learned _ LOL! Do it in a fabric that can be muslin, so if they don't turn out right, no big deal. Thanks for watching.
👍👍👍👍👍
👍😁
Try using tailor's tacks instead of snipping/clipping delicate/fraying fabrics.
Great tip, thank you!
😀😀
🤓🤓🤓
culottes are HARD to wear even for a skinny girl. You made a cute pair of burda pants that were flattering, I'd cut that pattern again at short length and skip any style close to those culottes!!!!
Actually, I think this pattern will be fine without all of the adjustments. I do like the style and look of them, but all that extra adjusting I did, it was WAY TO MUCH - lol. I'll definitely share the next time I make them. Thanks for watching.
😂😂😂
I'm sorry I did laugh. Mostly at myself when I made them. I sized down and could still fit me and my toothpick of a son in them. It's the pattern not you. ps with fabric that frays easily I serge all the edges before sewing the item together.
This fabric was tricky, I had no idea it would fray like this until after I started handling it, otherwise that most certainly would have helped - LOL! It's okay to laugh, we can't take sewing so seriously as we are continuing to learn and I'm still learning. Thanks so much for watching.
😂😂😂🤓
😂🤣🤣🤣
