Can you share what kind of fabric you used for each section?
Do you put boning in bottom edge of wings ?
Just found your channel. Your videos on copying a garment are Wonderful. Why are more people not watching? She is great.
Hello! 😊 I'm really excited about trying your tutorial but I have a question: the shirt I'm trying to copy doesn't have a collar stand, is it okay to skip it? I'm very new to sewing so I'm no quite sure 😬 thank you for all your work!🤗
Make Dragon Tail loooooooooooong
Hmm, a bit confused about the back. When you turn the original around to show the back, it looks like the back has two gathers near the sleeves at the yoke. Am I hallucinating? Then when you trace the pieces I don't see you including the pleats/darts/tucks that I saw at the beginning. Those would be nice to have for a looser fit. Am I missing something?
For a looser fit you would normally pop a pleat in he centre back of the lower back panel.
I hope I am not keeping you too busy with all my questions. In your video, I see the fabric shows a right side and a wrong side, yet when I look at my store bought shirts both sides look the same; the outside and the inside look the same. Now for the question, both your fabric and mine as well (mine is more contrasting than yours!), so when the shirt is worn without the topmost button closed, the lapel folds over to show the wrong side. So I'm wondering if this could be avoided by sewing in s super wide placket with the right side showing and the stitching for it not being obvious. Any suggestions?
Yes, that would work!
Awesome thankyou so so much x
Made this bag recently and just LOVE it! Such a satisfying make, a great skills builder and a really current shape. I am so pleased with the result I am going to make them in different sizes. They will also be fantastic gifts. I have had so many compliments on the first bag I made. ❤
Thanks Helen, so pleased you enjoyed it!
I'm in the cutting phase. I have a fabric with large parrots in the pattern, and the only place that I think it's important for the parrots to line up correctly is where the front panels button up. How do I make sure that the birds line up...or are even close to lining up?
Hi there. If you cut the two front panels separately, with the right side of the fabric faceing up towards you mark the centre front (the middle of the button panel when folded). Mark the first front side, then position the pattern so it falls at the same place on the centre front line when you flip the pattern peice over to mark the second front side. 👍😊
@@missmaker7298 I'm now on making my third one of these. The first one was basically practice. It came out wearable, and for the most part, I'm the only one who notices the odd bits. The second one, well, I made it for someone else who I thought was the same size as me, but...oops, too small.So now I have two for myself. I couldn't find the same style shirt in his size, so used a similar shirt and compared the cutouts with my original pattern. Still working on it. I think if anything goes wrong, it might be too bit, but that would be easier to fix than too small. LOL I will return with an update when done. I really appreciate your vidclip. Thanks.
Is the boning laying flat or do you fold it in half along the length? In the finished product, it looks like it is flat but my boning will not curve side to side like that.
Yes, if it's plastic boning you will have to fold it in half to get it to bend sideways 👍👌
Thank you for this tutorial! I'm going to try and copy a shirt that I like with aloha fabric. Here in Hawaii there's a lot more variety in price and style for men, but it's limited for women. It'll save me money too!
Brilliant! Wins all round!!!
POCKETS! I hate it when I've bought a shirt and discover at home that it has no pocket. Do you have a suggestion for a pocket. Everyone loves pockets!
A simple patch breast pocket would work fine on one or both sides. Create a rectangle of fabric about 12cm wide by 15cm tall. Fold down one short edge twice and sew across. Fold in the remaining edges by 1cm and press. Position in shirt and top stitch into place! Ta da!
Maybe it was there and I missed it, but how many yards should I buy?
About 1 and half will be plenty for a short sleeve shirt
@@missmaker7298 Oh, I'm almost finished and I see that I really needed two yards. Maybe that is because of trying to match the figures in the pattern of the material. The woman in the fabric store said two and a half yards, so that's what I bought. Luckily.
Beautiful job can I get the free pattern please?
It's over on our website. Link in the video description
Beautiful description of how to make the skirt without a pattern. I will look for more from you. Ontario, Canada.
Yes, you describe everything so perfect! Thank you! You really helped me understand this. I have my material, can't wait to make my wrap skirt!
a brilliant video. thank you. i enjoyed making my skirt so much.
Where can I get the pattern
It says page not found
www.missmaker.com go to socials link at the top, choose tutorials 👌
I went to the website and it said it can no longer be found? Did you remove the pattern?? I’d like to have it please, I’m telling all my friends about it, some are interested in it as well.
Hi there, go to www.missmaker.com and under socials there are youtube tutorials, the pattern is there next to the tutorial link.
Thanks so much a Wintertime project in Montana to see me through..
Thank you, I love to make one for each grandchild 7 of them!!!
That’s great! Thanks for this!
Are there written directions? I love this!
Hi there, I haven't made written directions I'm afraid.
Bless your heart. As talented, well presented and clearly spoken as you are and make your videos........ I have chosen the wrong kind of dragons tail DIY by a country mile.
Thank you so much for your easy to follow instructions, and most of all for NO background annoying music, keep it up. Xxxx Doris
i love the video but i wish it was more in detail. for example how did u sow the scales on?
I used a mixture of fabric glue and small hand stitches to secure each one!
Love this version of a wrap skirt with the buttons. Thank you for showing how to draft a simple beginner friendly wrap skirt pattern and for the clear sewing instructions!
Hi! I just found this video and I was wondering what materials you used for the tail and how you sewed them one!! (Specifically the scales)
It's lycra for the tail base, cotton twill for the harness and straps and faux leather for the scales. I use a mixture of fabric glue and small stitches to attach the scales
I love this idea; I am definitely making this for my grand daughter; however I am not quite understanding how you sewed the scales on? I wish you would have showed a close up of sewing them on.
I used fabric glue for the scales, you can add a small stitch at the top of each scale if it helps.
I have struggled repeatedly to get my Juki's needle threader to work, and now thanks to your video, I understand the problem; the hook is bent. I plan to try to straighten it using tweezers or tiny pliers. Is that the right thing to do? Thank you. Your video is awesome and has really taught me a great deal.
Simply marvelous. Thank you and greeting from Mexico city
Thanks so much I appreciate it❤❤❤
No problem 😊
Such a lovely, light space to work in!
It really is!
❤❤
Hola preciosa!! Por favor podrías darme los moldes de estos hermosos conejitos??? Mil gracias!!!

Love your dragon tail! I couldn't understand how you actually sewed the scales onto the tail? Did you hand sewed the scales on?
Hi there, they were sewn into place and I used a dab of fabric glue as well.
Thanks! I just made myself a skirt for 1euro😊
Great explanation! TY
You're welcome!
Thank you for the excellent video. I do have an observation re the waistband length measurement. It's to be 1.5 x my waist measurement plus 4 cms but that will not fit. When drawing out the pattern, you add 2 cm to each of the sides so you are adding a total of 12 cms to the waist measurement (2 cm x 2 sides of the pattern for the back and 2 cm x 2 sides of the pattern for the sides x 2).
Hi there, Yes. That gives you movement ease of 6cm each side. As a wrap skirt you can always wrap it tighter to get your desired fit. By all means leave out the 2cm each side if you'd rather a snug fit.
@missmaker7298 Thank you! Mine is done but I'm considering adding a bit of elastic in the waistband to snug it up a bit. I think my hip to waist measurements aren't the ideal (more hip than usual for my waist!). Again, thank you for your quick response.
Omg I am so glad to see you are still uploading! I found you because of your dragon tail video because I am currently wanting to make one myself.
Hi there, Yes, I have been quite for a bit due to working on the new venue. Hoping to start uploading regularly again. Hope the tail goes well!
@@missmaker7298 thank you so much! I hope so too! I have never really made anything like this so I am nervous, when I do begin it I may actually have a question or two for you about it!
Like your tutorial , how about one on the flopping ear with wire I think you can explain it better
I'll add it to the list!! Maybe a goodness for Easter!
Thank you. Great tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!
Great diagram and explanations!
Many thanks!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I finally understand how to do my 4 step button hole! Commencing on this project this evening. Can’t wait. Fingers crossed it comes out as good as yours.
Fantastic!
Thank you so much for this fantastic video! I learned so much. I realized my hips are long and straight (not rounded), so I had to modify (remove the curbs) my paper pattern a little bit and I love the resulting wrap skirt.
How much and what kind of fabric is needed? Thank you for the tutorial! It is wonderful!
Hi there, you will need about 1m of fabric. A nice cotton pattern will work great
Thank you for the detailed and easy to follow instructions!
What I want to learn is how to create or what elements/proportions should I consider when creating the design to be printed in the fabric
Do you mean to match patterned fabric and how to position it? If so you will want to level and match it across the front of the shirt where the buttons sit.
As an American (staunch advocate and detester of all things metric. LOL), I will admit that sewing with metric measurements seems a bit more straightforward than with Imperial measurements. Thanks also for the collar / collar stand explanation. That makes sooooo much more sense now on how that's constructed.
So glad you found it useful 🙌
