It is so clear and obvious how much time and effort goes into these. they're so in-depth and are helping me so much as a beginner. It is also great to find someone making modern men's fashion, keep it coming!
Love your channel. Well done and actually helpful for beginners. I search countless videos for sewing with knit where they mention the same info but then demo with a serger. A beginner most likely will not have a serger. So thank you for showing the whole project with just a sewing machine. I’ve made your bucket hat and holster bag and it came out great. Definitely will be add this to my list of projects 😊
always a great feeling watching your videos, while trying to learn sewing. thank you for helping more people get into sewing. I got my first machine cause of you, and not only am I learning to sew, but so is my son :)
I love how you show how to use other stitches on the machine to sew stretchy fabric like this one. Being a long time sewist, seamstress I have had Industrial single needle and serger but have down sized. I mainly use an 80 year old singer but I still have a serger but a portable Juki as well as a cover stitch machine. Awesome video/ tutorial!!!
Yeah -to another commenter - I don't have a surger - I'm a beginner - I am learning to save money and get some personal funk to my clothes - no way will I even buy a surger .... Nope - so it is very helpful that you mention that for those who want to do this on a smaller scale ! LOVE your vids - and your camera work and editing is beyond top notch
Hey.. great video..Just a friendly advice; @gloryallan when you cut, use chalk, remove the paper pattern and most importantly cut outwards - meaning the scrap fabric should be facing you , thus you do not risk cutting into the actual self fabric.. so when you are cutting and if you go off the chalk line you do not end up cutting into the self.
Thanks for the tip!! I'll use that in my future videos 😊 How do you trace the pattern onto your knit fabric? The chalk doesn't work well because of the stretch.
@@GloryAllan Fabric markers! They make several different kinds. I use a pink one with water soluble ink for lighter fabric and a metallic sharpie for black/darker fabric. Edit: I have since swapped the metallic sharpies for a chalk marker. WAY WAY better.
okay my guy, seeing you do these videos….the EFFORT!!! been watching your channel all day as a beginnerand im so so grateful to have these!!! you make it fun while still spilling out so much important info that i know is gonna be useful/needed love your channel, keep em coming!!! 😆
I made this today, and loved it! Really beginner friendly. Thanks for reminding me to switch back to straight stitches throughout the video, I kept forgetting to check the settings 😅.
So glad to see you back on my feed. I have no clue why TH-cam is hiding your videos from my algorithm. I should probably being some videos aggressively 😂 so they see that I mean business 😅
Thanks for this!! I have a quick question…would the pattern change if I use a little to no-stretch fabric? I have a thrifted blanket I wanna use for the hoodie but I’m not sure how it will work. Thanks!
Love your videos! I made this hoodie without any mistakes and and so looking forward to making it again!! The only issue I had was finding matching ribbing for the color I purchased. I wound up purchasing a contrasting color but would have preferred the same color. I have seen some companies that sell the fabric and matching ribbing on Etsy, but unfortunately when adding the shipping the cost becomes very expensive. Do you have any advise on how to find fabric colors with matching ribbing that are different from the colors you offer for sale?
Awesome!! Glad it came out well 😊 That's a tough one, fabric stores can be very limited. Sometimes they won't even have the right fleece and rib knit in the weight I want. Sometimes they'll have it, but not in matching colors (one time i was looking to make a grey hoodie but the grey fleece didn't match their grey rib knit). Try different stores or call ahead to save time to see if they have the material in colors you're looking for or consider buying white and dying yourself?
Im a new sewer and your videos have inspired me to take that next step and make a garment! I have a Singer 4411, but I don't have a stretch stitch. Any help on how to get a stretch stitch workaround on that machine?
Yeah totally. You can do a narrow zigzag stitch. Try a few test stitches at 0.5 width, 2.5-3 length, and tension.. 4? Test that out on some scrap fabric and fine tune it to get good stitches :)
A rotary cutter is the optimal way to go instead of scissors. It may seem strange to use at first but after the first few passes you wont go back to scissors EVER! I have super sharp fabric scissors and I only use them if I MUST, otherwise its my r45 mm rotary. I use a 15 mm rotary to cut my paper patterns. for suer straight edges: a clear ruler. I also trace all my patterns to preserve the original, but I just using the tracing paper pattern to pin and cut my fabric. SAVE the traced pattern for future use so you never have to retrace.Trace all the markings, labels and words too! this way you don't have to play Mystery Pattern later on ie which pattern is this!?
Rotary cutters are so handy! I always use them when I can, they make cutting fabric a breeze. Good point on the tracing paper, always label them so you can reuse later without playing the guessing game 😊
The link to the 5 free sewing patterns is currently broken, also hey thanks you've got me inspired to start learning how to sew. Had to look for a long time to find the sewing machine we had stacked away in my house
Hey you sure it's broken? I just tried it and it worked for me. Lmk tho, would wanna get that fixed for you asap Sweeet LOL glad you finally found it. Excited for your journey ahead, good luck
Ok - flipping Odd request - but I had the feel of seams against my skin - AND - I have no patience for ironing a lot (I know I need to do some) can you do a vid of a t-shirt with seams on the outside ??? with no surger ? :)
Hey, I'm really new to sewing. And do you have any tips for like super beginners with sewing machines? I'm having a problem keeping a clean straight lines. When I sew I need to redo it sometimes because it's crooked, sometimes it's okay but it's not that clean. I just feel like the cloth is being pulled to one side or idk... And it's really overwhelming with the drawing, cutting, and moving cloths, especially when it's fraying. I just keep thinking that it will fray till there's no canvas left 🤣🤣
I've noticed that the foot used together with the stretch stitch is not the same used for the regular stitch and overstitch. Is it a specific foot for knit fabrics? Does it work similarly to the walking foot?
Can I get some recommendations for beginner sewing machines, there are so many to choose from and I'm not sure what I should be looking for. I also don't have a lot of money.
when you sewing the hood at 55:38 , instead of The V-Line at the video, can you do O-Line for the hood? I want to customize my own hoodie but I'm not sure where to start tbh.

Sir I'm a graphic designer with 2 years of experience and I really want to work with you as a thumbnail designer. Because I've done my small research on your youtube channel & I found that your current thumbnails are good but not that much eye catchy & attractive which is really not suitable on your channel. So if I do work with you then it will saves your time as well as your videos will perform much better and I will make very attractive, eye catchy and high quality profesional thumbnail for you that will grab the viewer's attention and increase the CTR of your videos for sure. So would you like to see my portfolio? (Please reply)
I have absolutely ruined and dolled my great grandma’s fabric scissors by using them on other arts and crafts. I remember when I was a kid she got on me because she went to cut fabric and it was not happening.😂
Hi so same here I wanted the pattern and when I clicked on ghe link I found out that it costs 24$ but if u subscribe ( by writing ur email ) they send u the pdf for the pattern

Great video for a beginner like myself. Took me two days but i finished it and looks amazing. Keep up the amazing vids! 👍
Hey hoping you could make a video specifically on the different types of fabrics how they would feel,cost,difficulty in sewing
That video is coming up in my sewing 101 series :)

Thanks!
You got a subscriber😊 what a detailed teaching, Can a four thread over locker be used to sew it as well
genious
are you going to do some more complex things like sweaters with turtlenecks or like overcoats and maybe formal dresses or something like that.
Definitely going to get more complex eventually. Right now focusing on basics and easy projects 🙂
@@GloryAllanA padded bomber jacket would be crazy
alright man i will be keeping an eye out for those videos@@GloryAllan

is twin needle topstitching instead of zigzag or overlocking good or should i do both

Awesome tutorial! I just didn’t really get how to download the free pattern :( On the website it is still 9.99$ for PDF version of it
Ok I am up to the hood, there is no instructions for double hoodie???
Can I get some recommendations for beginner sewing machines, there are so many to choose from and I'm not sure what I should be looking for. I also don't have a lot of money.
This one here is awesome
when you sewing the hood at 55:38 , instead of The V-Line at the video, can you do O-Line for the hood? I want to customize my own hoodie but I'm not sure where to start tbh.
I come back to this video religiously when I forget how to sew the sleeves on to the torso lmao
Allan, how did you slow down your sewing speed?
In the sizing guide there is a body length but there is no bust size do you have that for each size ??
i got PDF files for my pattern but on what size paper should i print it? a3?
Great video man nice work but why say free pattern when they aren't free
😊
your thoughts on the singer-serger foot attachment?
Yee!
is it possible for one to venture into designing as a bad drawer?😭
What is the size of pattern for print??
I need to know is HD6705c better or worth it?
Please review the Butterfly JHQ6032A
the link sends you to the website and the paterns not free. but it says here that its free !
The patterns are actually free! If you subscribe to the website by putting your email in, you’ll be sent a link to free patterns :D
Help!!! I have the a4 pdf to print from home but what size/printer setting to use?
126%
Print at 100% scale, always. That'll ensure the sizing is accurate. There should also be a Test Square you can measure to ensure it's right.
What size thread for this one to please

I love everything about this marketing, except the fact that there's 0 images of the hoodie actually being worn, so you can't see the fit.
.
This pattern is definitely not free
Hi so same here I wanted the pattern and when I clicked on ghe link I found out that it costs 24$ but if u subscribe ( by writing ur email ) they send u the pdf for the pattern
PDF is free
The pdf is literally free what do you mean
they send it per email. i got it for free
Definitely is free
the way i think is to take care of your sewing machine how youd take care of your teeth
Literally in the process of making this now can’t wait to get to the finished product ✨🧡🫂
ayyye GOOD LUCK 😊
