    You have literally the best sewing tutorials on RUclips. I've been frustrated to tears by other 'tutorials' that just look pretty with no actual information or explanation. You're so thorough without being condescending and without rambling. I do not understand why so many sewing/cooking/crafting tutorials include their grandmother's and supporting character's backstories as well as a brief history of Poland.
    Seriously, thank you.

    I'm a Maintenance Technician at several University Student Housing Apartments. Every year students move out and leave sooo many items behind, (furniture, electronics, clothing, etc). Last july, a resident happened to leave a very old sewing machine, a Bernette 320. I've never sewn before, but my stepmother always has since I remember growing up. I decided to take it to her so she can test if it worked. It worked perfectly and even had extra accessories in storage compartments. Because of the current Covid-19 situation, at the end of March or beginning of April, face masks became mandatory in my county. I decided to make my own. So I started using that Bernette machine and immediately found an interest in the sewing craft. I've already bought 3 other machines, (Singer Fashion Mate, Singer ProFinish, and a Singer Futura Quartet) they might not be the best but are doing me good. After doing facemasks, I started practicing several sewing techniques and doing other small projects. I'm soo interested in doing my first collared dress shirt. After watching several vids, yours was the most explained. You showed in detail how some parts come together that had me doubting I could make a shirt. Thankyou for your vid, definitely gained a fan and subscriber. 👋😁👍

    I am 56. My daughter is getting married in January. Being shall we say an overly robust female (Fat) finding dress clothes, that do not make me look like a can of exploding biscuits or Michelin tire guy. I decided to sew me a dress. Now understand only things I have sewed were simple things like shorts or halters or skirts or pants as a teen or barbie clothes and stuffed dolls for my daughter. That was 25 to 40 more years ago. My Mom taught me. My grandmother I helped cut and piece quilts. So decided to carry on family tradition of making my own MOB dress. Got the pattern. It's similar to other store bought dresses and just requires better quality material. So I have been hunting videos for pointers since only mentors I know have either passed or live 800 miles away. You sir have some of the best videos I have seen. You have made doing sleeves look easy compared to others. You walked through how to use the interface and place it. My issue is my dress is going to be lace over satin dress and I am having hell of a time finding videos of how to sew satin let alone sew lace fabric onto satin. Is there anyposibility you could teach something like that.
    Thank you again for not talking down to me as a viewer and giving step by step instructions. Making confident I have not forgotten the basics. But still shaky on the fabric.

    You are so clear and easy to understand and your teaching method is just the right speed. Its also much nicer that you don’t have music in the background to distract. Thank you so much. I will subscribe to hear more of your tutorials.

    Super cool, another great video I cannot wait to try out.
    Laugh anytime you say "I don't know if you can see those marks on camera, but I can see them just fine.."
    I know ifs not meant to say we are blind, but that's how I imagine it every time lol I know you are just referencing the ability to see white chalk on camera against the fabrics. Great job on that shirt!

    • @TockCustom
      @TockCustom  4 года назад +1

      Awesome! Hope you're able to make some great new shirts!
      Yeah, when I'm filming, I can't really see what the final video will look like... so I say things like that about the notches sometimes.
      Thanks for watching, hope you're doing amazing!

    I love your tutorials so much - “cut the b*shirt and get to the point” 😉 There’s nothing more frustrating than a video that is monologue without any important information, and it’s also way too long. You skip it, you miss something, have to go back and listen to a crap again. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS!

    I’m brand new to sewing so sorry if this a dumb question but how do you make an XL pattern from a pattern that only goes from SM, M, L???
    Would really, really appreciate your help. I’m a brand new subscriber an absolutely love your channel! You make sewing look cool even though I’m still not telling anyone I’m learning how to do it!!! 🤫😂

    • @TockCustom
      @TockCustom  3 года назад +1

      I hid my sewing from people too for a while until I started making some really cool shit... then they were just super jealous and wanted me to make them clothes all the time lol
      So MOST patterns (especially for men) come in 2 variations:
      S-M-L - and then the same exact pattern for XL-2XL-3XL
      When you're looking at patterns, make sure you get the size bracket your looking for.
      Same thing for jeans too, it'll be like, 28-36 in waist, and then 38-46 in waist... etc.
      Hope that helps!

    I'm still trying to finish my fursuit, but after I get it done I want to try and make a button down shirt. I don't have a serger, and my sewing machine doesn't do embroidery (I wish I spent the extra money and got one that did), so mine won't be exactly like this one.

    • @TockCustom
      @TockCustom  4 года назад +2

      You do not 'need' a serger to make this shirt - the only time you really need one is if you're planning to sell clothing, or give them out as gifts. If you make clothing for yourself, nobody will ever know weather or not your seams are overlocked on the inside lol

    • @travisb.6015
      @travisb.6015 4 года назад

      That was one of the biggest reasons why I have not bought my machine yet, I wanted to go for a machine I would not "grow out of" too quickly. However, like Tock said, you can still make some great clothes and other sewn items without having super fancy or specific machines. Anyone I give a gift to, better be grateful I make them anything at all!! lol

    • @paintofheart1385

      So a server is just used to make the edges clean right? And a single stitch should be good enough to keep it together?

    Just love the way that you clearly demonstrate the things which can seem unclear when following a pattern! Got my funky material, my Brother and just waiting on my McColls pattern (the same as yours to arrive), and I'll be getting to making some shirts of my own! Thanks for the great instruction! Love the videos you do and can't wait to get back machining again!

    I was fully engaged whilst watching this and didn’t even notice how long it was until I went to pause it to respond to a text - AND THAT NEVER HAPPENS; I do not watch RUclips videos this long unless it’s a video podcast. Even better yet, I switched back to the RUclips app to continue watching AND finished the video, so you should be really chuffed with yourself. Goes to show that you are very engaging and I WILL be using your channel as a point of reference from now on so thank you!

  • @sybilh4024

    Thanks! Been sewing since pandemic (mostly fun print pullover knits) , and you have been with me all the way. I got frustrated with the pattern for my first button down, so I tossed it and came to you. (It came out great, for a first-time). You are SUCH a great teacher. You explanations have just the right amount of detail , your camera work is spot on, and your overall manner is just fab. Your channel is the first place I go when I want to learn a new technique. Cheers, dude.

    Thank you Tock Custom for making this very informative video. I first watch your video summer of last year. Since then I’ve made 7 shirts. It’s crazy to see the progression from the first to the last shirt. You’re a very good teacher and I just want to say thank you for your time and effort and sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

    So many are scared of making a man's oxford shirt, but the hardest part is the button holes. No set in sleeves and even if it has a yoke back and long sleeves with a lap and cuffs its still a breeze. Nice to see a man sewing for a change.😉
