Brilliant tip for putting the bottom of the tape measure at the floor! I was struggling with measuring my skirt length just last evening! You have so many great tips and ideas throughout your videos. Thanks so much for the time and effort you invest in teaching your sewing methods. Great sew along!

Thank you Sam! Very interesting video! I would like to see a video on how to make a “keyhole” in the back neckline!

Hi glad you enjoyed it, I would only put a keyhole in a back neckline if the back wasn't vut on the fold & I couldn't put the top or dress over my head without a fastening. Because this has a V neck it isn't needed but I will bear it in mind next time I make something like that I put something together for you 🤗

Hi Sam, I did it!!!!! I actually managed to make a tiered dress from the pattern as your video shows. It took me ages as I was really not sure it would actually suit me by the time I'd finished. Had to do a full bust adjustment on the top (thank you Stitch Sisters!) and my tiers were considerably wider than yours as I suspect my hips are considerably wider than yours! but I am so pleased with it and am about to swish off to lunch in it, having finished the hem 15 minutes ago. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos, you are an inspiration.

Great vlog as always Sam thank you. I don’t have a printer but have already the Megan Nielsen Dove blouse which I think looks very similar to the free peppermint top - have you made that one and agree that would work for this hack?! Thanks 🙏 ps I think I have that same fabric 👍🏻
@Frugalisama

Hi Paula, no I haven't made the MN Dove top but I can't see why it wouldn't work. As it has a curved hem just remove any length from the bottom rather than reducing it at the lengthen/shorten line. I would still make it as a top 1st the to check fit & whether you want to bring it in at the sides or not. I nabbed the last 3 metres of the viscose at work as someone had ordered 7 metres of it & loved the colour 💙

@@anneforeman2951 Hi Anne, I've already got a couple of tutorials for V necks on wovens, this is the bias bound one: kzitem.info/news/bejne/jn5q2nqLnIZzbKg & this one is using a placket: kzitem.info/news/bejne/rWp735iVo4Wde20 & this is for knits: kzitem.info/news/bejne/ma6usmZ4bmVjjXY.

Hi Sam, thanks for this, just wondered, is there any reason for having to sew outside of the elastic and removing it or would it be ok to just sew through it and leave it in place?
@Frugalisama
3 жыл бұрын
Hi Katie, I've always removed the elastic for 2 reasons, 1. it will add bulk to the seam & 2. I like to re-use the elastic. Depending on the weight of your elastic, I guess it would be ok to leave in. Maybe try it & see 🤔

Hi Aine, the sizing is European sizing - so sizes 32 to 52. The size chart is on page 3 & is in centimetres 🤗
