I've been avoiding using paper patterns for 50+ years because they looked confusing & intimidating. You disproved that theory in this very informative & easy-to-understand tutorial. I just bought a McCalls scissor keeper/notions paper pattern. This 70+ year old intermediate beginner sewer is pretty psyched about it. Thank you !!!

I have no one in my life who sews, and your videos have been invaluable in helping me learn. A lot of the other patterns for beginners videos don't go into seam allowances or cover the specifics of pattern markings. Your filming style makes following the content very intuitive, thanks for the info!

Hello … I just started a sewing class , learning to sew clothes . I like your idea of making a carbon copy of the original pattern. This video is extremely well done and very helpful! You have a new subscriber… you are my virtual teacher from here on . I am not going to pick up all knowledge during my class time in person so your videos will be an excellent way to improve my skills . It is my hope build my wardrobe with pieces that are made by me …. I have always wanted to do this 30 years ago but raising a young family and working at a demanding career never allowed me any free time to do this. This is an old gal wanting to fulfill a long awaited goal and I am so excited I found a way to level up my new skill . Thank you very very much for a great tutorial and I shall be binge watching your channel. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I have taught myself how to sew to make facemarks and have now made nearly 2000...so I have decided to try to make some gifts for Christmas and bought a couple of patterns and got so confused when I tried to figure them out. Your instructions and explanations have given me a lot of information and some confidence...though I need to go out and buy some tracing paper....what a GREAT thing to know about as I had been wondering if I needed to buy the pattern multiple times since my sister is a small and my mom a large and my kids different sizes too.

I remember my mother cutting material from the patterns she had when making dresses and blouses, but never learned any of it because she expected my sister to be the one to take up the craft of sewing, but she didn't. Seeing how you made your patterns from what you had really helped me and I will remember it when I am ready to produce some clothing.

I'm so happy this is so helpful! Pattern reading can be very intimidating, so it's great to break it down into little pieces at first. Can't wait to see the kinds of things you end up making! Cheers :)

This was so simple and amazing! I used to read the patterns and for some reason it looked daunting. Circling the numbers really helped get me started. Never done that before! Ty for the video! ❤❤❤

Your videos are great! Sewing is a skill and you have taught yourself well. I have been sewing for 55 years and I was taught at home as well as in school (a skill that should still be offered). Might I suggest a hint for you and your viewers? I would suggest adding the pattern name and number to each piece (McCalls 2526) just in case someone isn't as well organized as yourself or if the project isn't sewn shortly after cutting. Thank you for your content, I love it.

Thank you so much Deb! I think I put the exact pattern in the description of the video so people can find it, but this is a great idea. That is a great idea to put the pattern number on each piece for sure though! Good recommendation! Hope you have a terrific weekend, thanks for watching :)

Thanks to your video, patterns don't appear half as scary as they did before. You've made them much more accessible. The other thing I've often wondered is how do you deal with your size changing over the years should you want to reuse the pattern. The answer is so simple and obvious - use the tracing fabric so that you can make all the different sizes without chopping up the original pattern thereby losing the ability to make the larger sizes. Maybe this is what you're supposed to do with patterns as standard but I always see people chopping up the original pattern. Great tip, thanks Tock!

I'm really happy this was so helpful to you! Thank you very much for the positive feedback. Hopefully you're able to start getting some new patterns and make some amazing things soon :) Let me know if you have any other questions along the way!
