Unlike them all but the red or striped ones really stand out.

Love the red!

The red one! But you look beautiful with all of them.

Everything looks beautiful on you, but the black and white one looks so cozy for a cold winter day

Great job and I am so happy for you! Thank you for your kind words and happy sewing! :)

Thank you so much, I am just trying to show people that they can do it and create beautiful/useful things for themselves.

Yay! Michelle, here are a few tips for success : 1) there is always extra info in the infobox underneath my videos 2) making a sample, especially when you're starting is always a GREAT way to success and will eliminate the stress and give you the opportunity to problem solve 3) clothes that you have in your closet are a great reference point. Hope this helps! :)

@@ThoughtfulCreativity Wow, thank you so much! I've watched a lot of your videos and they're so inspiring. Thank you again!

How did that go?

Oh yes, I remember that comment - I am like you, If I like something that I have, be it clothes or ANY item - I will hold onto it until you can no longer use it :) I thought you would like the striped one the best, it reminded me of your hoodie! :) I just posted Members Extra (and Instructions sheets as well) - I show some fabrics I got recently that would be perfect for this type of garment - I hope that helps with the choice :)

And... you're always SO kind. Thank YOU!

Woooohooo - Hope you enjoy it!

@@ThoughtfulCreativity you explain and show things so clearly and beautifully! We're in spring here, but I really want to make this - I'll have to find a light stretch fabric. :)

Great to hear that and thank you so much for sharing!!! Woohoo :)

Oh no! I am actually under the weather today as well (this video was filmed last week), did the leaves turn red/yellow where you live? I find that it cheers up the mood a little bit. I hope you feel better soon! Hugs!

@@ThoughtfulCreativity thank you, yes, the leaves are gorgeous 🙂

Sorry to hear, I m just recovery so I wish you both well.

You’re welcome 😊

Girl, I have been meaning to message you on IG! Honestly, I just had one thing drop on my head after another one, I have been thinking about possible ideas for a collab, if you're still up for it :) Ahhh, yes, I remember the knits your bought at Abakhan - perfect timing!

@@ThoughtfulCreativity I am definitely still up for a Collab! Very excited to work with you ☺️ Definitely haven't been putting off working with the knits because I'm scared of them...😬

1) as mentioned in the video - make a pattern first and then measure the pattern to determine how much fabric you need 2) if you ever wonder about a video on a particular topic - please go to my channel page and video tab, all videos are there and you will be able to find them a lot faster than waiting for a reply to a comment.

It's by Fiskars. Anything 24x36 inches by Fiskars, Okfa, Clover will be good.

Long story short - I am self-taught. In my tutorials I combine information that I have learned and absorbed from a variety of resources: European, Russian and American drafting methods + some of my own discoveries. I buy, collect and study college fashion design/technology books, as well as additional literature from a variety of sources. I also have some additional art education that I received back in high school and that's what helped me understand the human body from the point of view of proportions (which are often used in Russian pattern drafting). Most of all - practice. Practice is one thing that is needed to connect theory with desired result. :) whew, that was a long one :)

@@ThoughtfulCreativity That is an immense amount of information you've collected and practiced over time! I admire your dedication!

@@valentinashaw3118 спасибо, стараюсь! :)
