Thanks for the tutorial. I snagged this pattern and am ready to try it. I love the color of your fabric, I'm going to try it with polka dots like on the front of the pattern.
Thank you for this beautiful and in depth video I just bought this pattern Friday and I must say I’m ready to go ahead and knock out the top and the skirt Thank You Mimi G !!! 💛💛💛💛
Mimi, when inserting the zipper on knits do you use a straight stitch or a stretch stitch for knit fabrics? I’m new to sewing garments so wanting to ask to make sure I’m doing this correctly. Thank you for your help
So cute! Did you have any trouble sewing over the metal zipper? Do you have any tips for that? Or maybe it just looks like metal. Thanks for a wonderful tutorial!
Janet Johnson Slow the play back speed. Makes it easier to see.........You can see that the tiny piece of fabric [ where it was clipped] she is stitching down extends a tad below zipper stopper. Also using the zipper foot allows for the zipper NOT to get caught while sewing!😊
Z'Nycé London Thanks for the suggestion. I noticed that too. My question was referring to the last step of the collar being stitched on. At both the very beginning and the very end of this seam/topstitch section, the top ends of the zipper teeth have to be sewn over and enclosed in the seam allowance. Maybe it’s not too difficult since the zipper is open and you’re only sewing through one side of it at the beginning of the seam, and the other side of it at the end of the seam.
Happy to see your patterns don’t make the fabric store often and this old lady resists on line shopping butttttttt that may alter soon . Ohhhhh alter is that a sewing term. Indeed so sew on profitably 👌🏾💕🌷👼🏿🙍🏽🦹🏾♂️
Hey Mimi, love all your patterns😃 I was wondering if you could just use a serger to sew the whole garment if you are using a knit fabric. The zipper would be sewn with a sewing machine of course. What seam allowance would you use?
Mimi G, you make it look so easy. I hope i am able to get to that point as well. With both sew alongs I am going to buy the pattern and follow along. Thank you for sharing!
@@MimiGStyleshow I'm thinking it's not necessary because stretch fabrics don't fry? But aesthetically serged seams do look nice and professional looking.
Mimi would you consider doing a tutorial for one of simplicity's costume patterns? I would really love to learn how to make the costumes but can't find any good tutorials to help me. :(
Love the tutorial, thankyou! Mimi, can you show the pattern design before starting the vid? And how do you find the patterns, is there an online catalogue (coz I can't find it)? XX

hi mimi...I love this video tutorial...thank you sooooo muuucchhh for sharing.
Great top
So cute! Did you have any trouble sewing over the metal zipper? Do you have any tips for that? Or maybe it just looks like metal. Thanks for a wonderful tutorial!
You can manually sew through the zipper once you get to the teeth but has to be done slowly.

Made this top Friday and I love it. I will be make more. So comfortable. Thanks Mimi G
Can’t wait to make this in a maxi length
Very cute Mimi. What fabric did you use?
Mimi G, you make it look so easy. I hope i am able to get to that point as well. With both sew alongs I am going to buy the pattern and follow along. Thank you for sharing!
My Joannes don’t have the new patterns out😌😌 great tutorial as always😊
For those that don’t know if your using Stretch fabrics like she did in the tutorial if you need to use a Stretch stitch or a Serger
No, not necessary for this project actually. You can use a normal needle and straight stitch as I did.

Mimi would you consider doing a tutorial for one of simplicity's costume patterns? I would really love to learn how to make the costumes but can't find any good tutorials to help me. :(

Hi Mimi what kind of knit did you use in this video there are so many different kinds
Mimi if I wanted to do this with Non-Knit Fabric (100% Cotton) do I just cut the next size or two up? 😊
Stephanie Williams p
Who are the two people who gave Mimi two thumbs down? We should hunt them down and chop their thumbs off! Lol
They can't help themselves, just pray for them lol
If I want to buy the pattern, how do I go about it. Because I live in Nigeria. Thank you.
Mimi what you got for big women?
I tried to look up S9182 and this isn’t what comes up.
Faye Cox just look up Mimi G New Fall Patterns or the Simplicity Website should have them 😊
Same!
