If your waistbands on skirts are getting too loose, you can always double up the ribbing for the waistband, fold it over, then run a piece of waistband elastic through the space you've created, then sew the elastic to the inside of the ribbing and sew the ribbing closed. I made a circle skirt using this method, and, even though the yarn I made it out of is heavy, it doesn't fall down or stretch out.

@crystalzapata19 3 күн бұрын

Hi! Is there a video you’d recommend watching so I can try this! I’ve been waiting to make skirts and add elastic but I’m more of a visual learning

@xinestraw7781 3 күн бұрын

@@crystalzapata19⁠unfortunately I made it up! But I would suggest trying out making a skirt without a well-supported waistband first to test it out (I really like skater skirt patterns which you can find a lot of videos for online), then sorta play with the way you want to make your skirts. I would also recommend just watching part 1 of The Stitchery’s adjustable split-side skirt tutorial where she discusses skirt construction so that you can decide how you want to make a skirt (what shape you want, waistband, etc. it’s technically a sewing pattern but I really think understanding construction of skirts will help with making them.) Then, I’d suggest trying out making a skirt with a drawstring to see if you like that for the waistband. Tons of videos for that online too. For the waistband method I prefer, I have considered making a video if there would be interest, but it’s a fairly simple process. The fun things about skirts is that you can really customize how you want to build the, since they’re basically just doing rows in a circle. I hope that helps!

That’s why I had to stop knitting, the strain on my wrist and fingers was too much. So I just gave up on that. Crocheting…I take very long breaks and just stop because I get cramps in my fingers/hands. But since watching your channel you had me running to Michaels and Walmart for yarn. So I’m just refreshing myself and making a mesh hat for my locs. Take breaks so my hands won’t stress either. I always wanted to learn how to use a sewing machine…the world is endless once you could master it!

There is an old saying: "If you fail to plan: you plan to fail" but what young person does everything right the first time? Sometimes you learn more from your mistakes than you do from your successes. You remind me of my younger self - so eager to complete something so I could use it/wear it/gift it or show it off etc.. 🙃🙂 You've learnt how to use a sewing machine, how to line a crocheted and uneven shaped bag requiring intermediate to advanced sewing skills. So, as someone once said, "All's well that ends well"

@alexcoop8068 10 ай бұрын

Always remember to add seam allowance, ironing the fabric will seriously make such a huge difference and make sewing a THOUSAND times easier(trust it seems so small but it makes everything easier and look so much cleaner too) and always try and pin with the pins perpendicular to the machine so they slide out easier! Also when doing corners or rounded edges or anything like that cut little slits(notches) into the fabric before you sew it and it won’t bunch up and will lay super flat and clean and make sewing a lot easier as well!

@bebbaheef 9 ай бұрын

For the fairy skirt, maybe you could try adding a strip of fabric on the waistband to line it and make it a little sturdier? I'm not a sewer so not sure if it would actually work but it might keep the piece in shape for longer. Love your long videos!! xx

Be patient with the learning process for sewing. It is a very different crafter vs crochet, but you will figure it out just like you did with knitting. To save some frustration, cut things larger. Easier to take things in our trim excess off. For the jacket, you can use a seam ripper from the fabric side to carefully cut the stitching, and use a lint roller or tape to pull any leftover threads out of the yarn. You got this!

i’m not sure if someone gave you this advice but when you are folding over the fabric you want to fold it over 2 times so the raw edge of the fabric won’t be exposed! it makes for a cleaner edge! either way you did amazing for your first time sewing i look forward to a potential sewing vlog!

follow up! if you want to get a perfect line that closer to the edge you could swap the sewing foot to an edge foot they have a little metal piece in the middle that will keep your stitches going in a straight line!

When putting linings in bags, ALWAYS sew fabric right sides together and leave them that way when you put it in the bag. This hides the lining seams and the wrong side of the bag when you sew along the top edge to connect them. I think everyone messes this up at least once, by just going on autopilot. 😂

@lisalisa1261 Жыл бұрын

hey girly, i dont know if anyone already said this, but it will be easier to first sew the lining of the jacket as a whole before connecting it to the crochet. if you copy the measurements of the crochet jacket and make a new "jacket"out of the lining fabric, you can put the two together wrong sides together and just sew the outer borders. or glue the outer borders of the two with fabric glue if you dont want seams to show. thank your for this video, i crocheted along with it

Personally, i sew all the granny sqaures in a 2D way so that the bag could be completely laid flat on a table and couldnt hold anything (like a blanket). Then i cut the fabric in the shape of the flat bag. Then i sew the lining on, then i stitch the bag together so that at that moment it could hold something ☺️
