Thank you so much for sharing. I have a friend who is more DIY do you think it would be suitable? Not for a hammer obviously but maybe measure tape, nails, screwdriver etc I’m definitely making mine for sewing. I’ve just invested a lot in a high end Janome computerized embroidery machine to update from my previous one. I live in Australia 🇦🇺 and love your fabric. I’ve been to our huge haberdashery store but was unable to find any. I did have some similar material with all sewing notions on but I used it to cover a cushion in my sewing room and I don’t have enough left unfortunately. Thanks again and I am following you and subscribing because I really find you have a lovely personality which is uplifting and you make us feel like we can achieve anything, even though I’m not a first time sewer but I always believe that you can learn new tricks, all through sewing life 😊🙏🏻🌸💖🌺 🧵 ✂️🪡

Hi Joani Thank you for your lovely comment and nice words 😀. It's always nice to hear that I have inspired someone! I found the cute sewing fabrics at Joann's fabrics. If you have a nice fabric but it is too lightweight for your friends DIY apron, you could always use innerfacing. It would definitely work for DIY tools. And you could always put a loop on the waistband for a hammer! And congrats in your new sewing machine! I am considering buying a new Pfaff machine this week. I have always just used very basic machines and have always wanted a Pfaff for some reason. Not the fancy embroidering ones, they are way too complicated for me! What part of Australia are you in?

Do you have any advice for how to do something similar for those adjustment buttons inside the band of kid's pants? I just bought my 8 y.o. daughter a ton of school clothes she loves but she's in between pant sizes (the buttons are there anyway but it's worse when you have to use them!) and those darn things drive her crazy 🤬 She's actually refusing to wear any pants that have them. At this point, leggings & bike shorts are pretty much our only options 😔 TIA

She sounds like a bit like me. I hate wearing anything with buttons, snaps, or anything that digs into my skin. I have removed many waist bands and replaced them with soft stretchy bands using neoprene or bathing suit type fabric as a wide casing. You could add elastic too. I will put this video on my list to make. I may have one similar in my videos. I will look and let you know.

I need help? Can you help me? I want to make a bolero or shrug out of a man's XL linen shirt. Reason is I want to match my husband, I bought him the shirt with linen pants, I found myself a linen sleeveless simple ankle length dress, and I want something over that will be 3/4 length but match his shirt, thus I boughtb an identical shirt. Will it be possible to redesign this shirt???? I need answer soon 07-15-2024. For an outdoor wedding July 27 in HOT TEXAS SUN
@FutureFashionDesignersАй бұрын
Hi, I'd suggest first making a sample of the shrug pattern out of muslin and seeing where you can cut and add seams to create the length of the pattern. A sample will help you see how the pattern looks on. Also, using the center front button facings along the shrug neckline could be fun and maybe use the cuffs in the arm area of the shrug. Or,t cut your shirt short, rehem , do some shaping, and turn it into a bolero. There are so many shirt styles, not sure what you have, hope I helped with some ideas for you.

Very nice! I just don’t understand why pins are placed horizontal to the sewing, rather than perpendicular. I’ve always placed them horizontally and just run them over with the seam. One bokeh very few needles. This is how I was taught and I don’t know the advantage.. Thank you!, PS. Why not a skirt hem marking thing, you squeeze a bulb with chalk . Are they not made anymore?
@FutureFashionDesigners2 ай бұрын
Hi Teresa, I tend to place the pins depending on each project on this hem the horizontal helps hold down the area better. Helps prevent the stretching. I rarely sew over pins, I only do that when I'm working with very slippery fabric or velvet. The chalk markers are great I have two of them but I rarely use them. You use them when you are marking uneven hems. This tutorial was just for a basic hem technique. But good idea on the chalk marker, that would be a good video 😀

All silk comes from china but is processed in italy or other countries etc. England and scotland produce beautiful wools and cashmeres. I have seen beautiful chiffons and georgettes come from France. Anything that is claimed to be designer is usually a licensing deal and not used in collections unless it is deadstock the designer needs to sell on as substitue income.

I wish you would’ve done this on the olive tank top. It would’ve been much easier to see. And unfortunately, it looks like there’s still a lot of gaping in your shirt after you adjusted it so maybe addressing how to decide how much to take in and when you need to add a dart would be a great topic for another video.
@FutureFashionDesigners3 ай бұрын
Hi Susan , Yeah, I wish I would have done the olive top first 🙃. This video was made before I figured out how to lighten up the frame. 🤔. So then I made another video with better lighting. Here's the link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibGZapqq0dS-l2Q.html That gap was very large, so since fabric is not sheet metal, I was happy that I got it reduced considerably. Darts, I don't like to add because I don't like the look of them, especially on a knit. I did this on about five of my tank tops some came out better than the others.
