The villeen that I use is iron on villeen which has a sticky side and the other side has no glue.

Hi Elsabe. I have found that people bye the commercial patterns and they are your master patterns. When they want to do another size pattern, they discover that they are unable to make patterns from the commercial pattern. I suggest that they buy trace villeen and it comes in two colours which are pink and white.

Hello Elsabe. So sorry you had health issues last year. It is horrible to feel bad. Happy you are feeling good again. I LOVE that blouse on the manniken behind you. Is that one of your SFD designs? I definitely have to know how to make that.

Baie bly jy is terug. Soos altyd gee jy baie volledige inligting. Mag dit n gesonde en voorspoedige jaar vir jou wees.

So wonderful to see you back Elsabe and that you are feeling better. We missed you. Love the wrap top on your dress form.

Dankie Elsabe, so bly om te sien jy is weer aan die gang. Sien uit om al jou videos te kyk.

Hello.. I am a beginner in sewing. I faced the same problem that you explained about, which is ironing pennies.. I have two questions, please. The first is what are the correct sewing steps. Should I do the collar after the sleeves or vice versa? The second question is how do I iron the sleeve after sewing it. Explain the method to us, please. ..❤

Very thorough presentation. Looking forward to more.

All the very best for this year. I'm sorry 2024 was a challenge. Let's hope all is good from here on in. I look forward to your videos.

Nice to see you back. Sorry that you have been recovering from health issues. ❤. I’m looking forward to seeing your upcoming videos. By the way, I adore the wrap top you have on the dress form. Hopefully you will have a tutorial on how to draft it. Take care. 🙏✝️🇺🇸

I need to finish my module1 training, this year😢 🎉😂❤

The interfacing I have says to use a damp press cloth. I’ve long wondered why none of the sewing tutorials use those instructions.

Brilliant ! Thanks so much !♥

The word you were looking for I think is “Anchor ”. The binding frames the neckline and anchors the visual design pattern of the neck area - I am a novice, but I can see that neckline is not visually defined and looks “unfinished”. Well done.

Just little example here of the universe sending exactly what you (me) need.👋 Also the excellent tip about butting up the ends of ellastic👌 Thank you Elsabe.🙏

Thank you. You made technical stuff simplified ❤ save me from headache

Learning something new here. Need to slow my process down.

What country is your accent from? (Great video btw)

How did you decide to add 1/4" to to back bodice width? I don't understand. Should I also add 1/4" to my bodice width?

I always pin pattern pieces. That prevents movement when cutting. I only have scissors.

Amazing. I don't think I need this process personally, but it's incredibly helpful having such a great explanation to better understand what various changes do to each piece of the pattern and how to alter them accordingly. Thanks so much!! Subscribed ☺️ Edit: Well isn't that something...I just went and tried on a blazer that fits almost perfectly but has always felt a little odd in the arms -- I have a slightly forward shoulder! 😲 Same goes for a Vogue pattern I tested out with a mock-up. It's literally only a cm but makes all the difference. This is such a breakthrough, thank you! 🥳

I never have a problem with ironing my fusible interfacing on dry, just have to allow the glue to cool for about an hour before sewing with it to keep the glue set. For me, the simpler the better.

Thank you very much Elsabe for this video. I have the same overlocker as yourself but not used the elastic foot yet but will definitely give it a go now as I want to make a top with an elastic waist band.

Thank you. This is very informative. I've recently purchased the Dress Sloper Kit and I am struggling to get the back right. I don't have enough room to move my arms forward. The fabric strains across the upper back and upper arms. After watching this video, I will remeasure the back and shoulder blade areas--maybe that's where I went wrong. But here is my question: From my initial SF sloper, I could tell that I needed a round back adjustment, a square shoulder adjustment and a forward-sloping shoulder adjustment. In which sequence do I make these modifications? And related to that: So if measure my back from my shoulder to the crease, which shoulder line of the pattern do I use to measure the crease on the pattern? The original SureFit shoulder or the shoulder line that I get after making the square, forward and round back adjustments? Because all those move the shoulder angle and length. Thank you.

I just have to say thank you so much for this video. It helped me tremendously. I spent hours cutting all this interfacing. I bought from Joannes and I tried to iron it. I tried the heat press. Nothing was working until this video. I guess I just needed to add water apparently a lot of it and then I got it to work. I spent all day trying to troubleshoot thisand it’s almost 8 o’clock at night and I finally got one to stick. Thank you so much.

Hello Elsabe, I like you shear cardigan. Is that the Sinclair digital you taught us how to use?

Any posiblity of putting this on Amazon for Canada ,North America?

Very Helpful.

that was such a wonderful tutorial--your step by step explanations are so easy to follow. I am thinking of doing a v-neck top (have to draft the pattern first) and this will be so very helpful! thank you for sharing this information.

Have always had a button foot for my machine and even tried it once (have been sewing for over 50 years). Yes it has been sitting in my accessory box for a very long time mostly because I could knot off the threads for a more secure button by hand. Now that I have seen your tips, I am looking forward to making use of it again. Thank you.

Great,I’m going to try it on my next shirt. What material did you use for the lining?

Thank you Elsabe for this great opportunity ❤

As a post script to my comment below, I just completed a jacket using your method to adjust the sleeve cap for forward shoulder. (I also adjusted my front and back bodice pieces at the low shoulder the same amount) I am totally amazed at how well everything fits -- besides having a comfortable sleeve and the shoulder seam staying put (not wanting to pull to the back), I no longer have my center front at the bottom hem wanting to pull to one side! Hard to believe one small adjustment could have such a big impact. Wanted you to know how much benefit implementing this change made for me!

Hi from ankara. I am farah_moda_evi

I always do my invisible zips this way, great method.

So clever, much thanks

Soo much easier than twisting the zipper to sew. Thank you

A great video! Thank you.

Thank you so much, what a great lesson. ❤

Thank you Elsabe.

Would so love it if you would do a Sew Along making this!!

Oh my goodness, I was having the same problem as so many people with the interfacing lifting off and I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. So I googled it and your instruction came up. Thank you so much it really works and it does such a beautiful job . Sharing your knowledge is a wonderful thing and I truly am grateful .🇨🇦

Excellent thank you Elesbe. Much needed for my personal use. Love your help & tips. From Queensland Australia. 😊

It is one of the most useful techniques ever. Brilliant solution! Thanks a lot.

Love your method. I am wondering if you find the elastic stretches a bit when it is serged on - do you cut your elastic shorter than waist measurement or the same as your waist measurement? thanks!

Hello Elsabe. Can you send me the link to where I can learn your neck design on this top. I find it very attractive. Thank you. I’m learning a lot from your videos. Thank you. Marilynn

Could you show how to put the pants together?

Once the armhole is adjusted, would we need to adjust the (cup) sleeve? it seemed wider after adjustment...

Thanks ❤

A wonderful detailed video. I was most interested in your methods to determine armhole depth and body widths from armhole creases (as well as how much ease you suggest for front and back bodices). Thank you -- a great help for anyone drafting patterns and wanting to achieve a good fit!
