Dear Sewing Friends, in this video I would love to share with you how I draft and sew cuffs for my knits garments. You can use this for both - tops and bottoms, and you have seen me make cuff for my garments numerous times through out different tutorials.
The width of the cuff is determined by how you would like this cuff to sit on your wrist (or wherever you're attaching it to).

Hi Alisa, can you pls explain as how you plan fabrics for different projects. It seems you use the same fabric for several projects but none of those are boring as you mix them unexpectedly. It's a great way to create a personal style and to maximize the use of fabric. But I am still far from that art/skill. Pls share your tips.❤

Know this is an older video but wanted to say thank you! Was exactly what I needed to learn how to replace cuffs on old favorite hoodie. Came out pretty nice if I do say so myself. Even learned how to use a new stich on my machine. Now will take this knowledge and fix up some other stuff. Thanks!

Fantastic tip for the non stretchy fabric cuff! ThankYou ❤

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 жыл бұрын

No no... Cuff needs to be stretchy either way otherwise you won't be able to put it on yourself period, it is for the fabric that does not stretch as much, but still stretches, so it not woven.

You'd find it much easier if you turned the garment inside out before you attatch the cuffs and neck band .

Morning Alisa 😃 would you show us how to draft a pattern for a wrap dress? I'm plus sized n I'd like to try Making a wrap dress for summer (it's summer in NZ) but would rather draft my own pattern so it fits my body shape 🙂

Hello there, you can start by looking up a tutorial on my channel on drafting a wrap cardigan and go from there.

Hi Alisa, I always like the way you explain all of sewing & patterns but I've doubts on which size of sewing needle to use. Pls tell which size for one stretch fabric , double stretch or super stretch. Waiting for your advice

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 жыл бұрын

Rita, hi! Here's a comprehensive needle size and type guide from Singer that will help you out - my suggestion would be printing out those needle size tables and keeping them in your sewing room so that way you always have a reference - www.singer.com/sewing-machine-needles
