Hi Janet, another great video.
Thank you for another great idea and video! I am going to try this collar stand within the collar to see what the difference in appearance is for a finished shirt. The idea that it helps our facial appearance, giving a "lift" with the higher collar is certainly appealing.
Great idea, thank you!
I saw the Islander method years ago. It was eye opening. It's the only method I use now, if at all possible. If I need to baste, I tape or glue. Thanks to Margaret Islander, I hardly ever pin. Thanks for an interesting video. Kay in Dallas, Texas .
You had me right up to "tape or glue". I would never recommend them but if it works for you and produces excellent results quickly, then go for it. Happy Sewing!!
PDF great!!!
The paper patterns great!!!
I was taught to use a tracing wheel and the waxed carbon paper to mark darts. I still have old packages of the paper! The problem with it is that the marks don’t wash out. The paper in stores now is chalk based so it tends to make smudges on the fabric and doesn’t give that precise line. Obviously, the “upside” is that it’s removable. I use my old carbon paper when I’m making a muslin and use the snip and pin mark when sewing the final garment. How do you feel about the inside of a finished garment showing the markings?
I don't have a problem with markings on the inside of a garment. Waxed Tracing Paper is available: susankhalje.com/collections/store/products/waxed-tracing-paper
I need a 2 - 2.5" adjustment at the high neck - do you think this is a solution for me???
If you mean "high back", Yes. Happy Sewing!!
Thank you, Brenda for filming in spite of hating doing it. I'd rather have your "imperfect" filming than to not have Janet's videos to watch. I appreciate your efforts. 🙂
Thank you!
Could you do a lesson on moving darts please?
Im in Georgia. I enjoy your videos and always pick up something I can use in my sewing.
I'm so glad! Happy Sewing!!
Hello Janet, a lot of greetings from Germany 👋! I have learnt so much from your craftsy-classes. They were really a "key to the next level" for me - thank you so much❣
Wonderful! You made my day. Happy Sewing!!
Oh how delightful!! Your classes are really informative. Thank you.
Thank you so much! So glad it was helpful. Happy Sewing!!
Hi, Henrik from Denmark. You are doing a great job with these “classes”. Best sewing teachings I’ve ever had!
Wow, thank you! I am so happy to help people who want to learn and it really makes me happy to hear your compliment. Happy Sewing!!
Hi from Virginin
Do these come with videos?
Please give me more information on "these"
Hello from San Antonio!
Enjoyed this video Janet! Love your fresh techniques which seem to simplify construction. I am a new visitor to Islander Sewing and believe I will be sticking around some! Thank You!
Wonderful! I Love to share my sewing expertise with enthusiastic sewing looking for the commonsense approach. I hope you look through the playlists to see my construction techniques. Happy Sewing!!
Missed your live, but I’m going to play it again and cut me a sample so I can sew along. Love learning new ways to sew. One is never too old to learn something new. What did we ever do before RUclips! Thanks for all you do for beginners and us oldies!
Making samples - great advice!
Thanks for fixing the sound! Much appreciated.😀
You are a genius.
Always enjoy your videos. Instruction from you is “top notch”!
Oh my goodness I just crammed the patterns back in.😅😅😅😅I will iron them now❤❤❤
Okay got into video and now have sound
Watching video and no sound here in Southern California
The sound did not begin until over 3 minutes but we have deleted the silent part so you will hear sound shortly after the video begins.
I just watched the Tuesday at Two video and enjoyed it a lot. I have learned so many techniques from you that I didn’t know before. I thought I knew everything because I have been sewing garments for 70 years, but I was very wrong. Thank you for all your information and enjoyment your videos provide.
I'm so glad! Thank you, it's my greatest pleasure to share sewing techniques that make garment sewing easier, faster and better! Happy Sewing!! Janet
No sound in Halifax. I've tried three different browsers. I've tried on my phone, on my computer. No luck.
Hi Judith I hope you are doing well. The sound did not begin until over 3 minutes but we have deleted the silent part so you will hear sound shortly after the video begins. Happy Sewing!! Janet
No sound here either
The sound did not begin until over 3 minutes but we have deleted the silent part so you will hear sound shortly after the video begins.
YEAH I can hear you😂
Hello from CA. There is NO sound!😮
The sound did not begin until over 3 minutes but we have deleted the silent part so you will hear sound shortly after the video begins.
Love the makes and thank you to everyone who participated and sent in photos for lazy me to enjoy! Next time, I’ll be there! Too many grandkids and ballgames this go around.
Thanks Nancy, we're glad you enjoyed it and we look forward to you joining us next time. Happy Sewing!!
(Linda) Love this video! Can you tell me is the Silk Organza to use for ironing..is it 100% silk or is it polyester or s-else? Thank. you
It needs to be 100% silk organza. We carry the less expensive grade that is best used for things like underlining and pressing cloths. Happy Sewing!!
@@IslanderSewingSystems i will check it out on your site -thank you !☺️
cute shirt!!!!! i support this is amazing
Thank you!
What kind of machine do you primarily sew on? Do you use a serger ?
I use a straight stitch only machine that stitches 1500+ stitches per minute. Baby Lock has the Accomplish and Brother has PQ 1600. Yes I use a serger and my favorite brand is Baby Lock. Happy Sewing!! Janet
Which news letter is Janet referring to with the modifications?
My newsletter is sent out several times a month and you can read some of the archives and sign up to receive it Free here: stores.islandersewing.com/newsletter/ Happy Sewing!!
Thank goodness I watched You gave me good tips that I haven’t even thought about ‼️🙏
Glad I could help
This was a very enjoyable session. A full hour of Janet talking and demonstrating .... Priceless!!
Thanks Steph!
Great stuff!
I favorite sewing machine for construction is a machine that only does straight stitching and has a speed of 1500 SPM. Baby Lock Accomplish 2 and Brother PQ1600 are the two I use. Yes I use a serger often. The best sergers on the market are Baby Lock. Happy Sewing!!
I loved Sue Walton's buttons down the back!
Me too!
The camera needs to be raised a little all I can see is your face at the bottom of the picture
As our long time followers know, this week was not indicative of our usual camera work. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We look forward to seeing you next month for a smoother episode. Happy Sewing!!
What type of underling fabric could you use for cotton or linen to prevent wrinkles that doesn't change the cotton/linen and make it dry clean only?
I use an inexpensive silk organza to underline linen and it prevents wrinkles well. You can find an old video here on my RUclips channel on just how I hold it in place. It's in the playlist tips & techniques however I do believe the sound is very low on that video. Happy Sewing!!
I use my Janome edge-stitch foot and move the needle to the left for edge stitching collars, etc. Helps a lot!
Thanks a lot! I love your channel.
Glad you enjoy it! We are here to support your garment sewing and to help you sew Better & Faster. Happy Sewing!! Janet
Great topic but impossible to hear even with both the video and laptop volume all the way up
Sorry about that, This video is one of our earlier episodes before we upgraded our microphones. Happy Sewing!!
Thanks-I was just trying to figure how to make a convertible collar on my shirt pattern.
Glad I could help!
Coincidentally, I have just drafted this very pattern to make a blouse to match a skirt! It has been wonderful to see that I have done it correctly and thank you for creating this video. Such a wealth of great information and am enjoying following along with your methods.
You are so welcome!
Hi Janet, great video. Will you be referencing the Pattern Drafting Made Easy book when you do the pant sloper if so does the book come spiral bound?
Yes, I may reference it and yes, it is spiral bound.
Thanks for the tutorial I will give it a try ❤
Enjoy!
Just wondering..do you have t shirt patterns.?
Yes, www.islandersewing.com/patterns/knit The Easy V and Five Easy Tees have sew along videos and the Artisan Tee has a video pattern guide, all right here on RUclips. Happy Sewing!!
