- I know I have been missing from the channel. I have actually been #sewing, #PatternTesting, learning how to code, and working on a sewing app, #fittingpants (I will tell you which ones), sewing the actual pants and many other things that I talk about on the video.

These change (alllll the time) but to give you a reference on my measurements since we are sewing: I am 5’5” and my measurements are as follows, upper bust 44”, full bust 45.5”, waist 39”, hip 46.5”
I like the idea of doing them all. It would be like a mini learn-to-sew course.
Happy to hear that you are doing well
Yes sew along would be great.
cleaning out sewing room ! getting ready to sell a bunch of my sewing stuff !
Missed you Alex! Enjoyed hearing your ideas and works in progress update. I miss your “10 patterns for 1.5 yds of fabric” or “10 patterns for summer tops” or “10 high end dupes” type videos that you used to do. You have such a good eye for matching up patterns to fabrics. Hope to see some of those in 2024? ❤ Suzanne
I might do a few of them this year. The last few Vogue collections were not really calling out my name but I might do a few of the ten patterns with very little fabric because it's a good way to get rid of remnants that we ALL have.
i vote make them all!
So glad to see you again! 🥰 Pants are definitely tricky. Have you watched Patti’s tissue fitting method? I love that method that when I did it for the first time my pants fit like a glove! Yes … please would love to see all your sew alongs! 😍 Still working on getting setup for my classes and sewing like a mad woman. Spring is coming needing some new dresses. ❤ talk to you on the other side! 🙌🏻🤓
I have tried the Palmer Pletsch method. It is just hard with pants and trying to fit myself in front of a mirror... and then when the fabric is meant to be stretching... it's challenging for sure. Can't wait to hear all about your sewing classes.

V1996 is on my table, too…….love it! Nice to see you back.
I'm curious...Are you making the jacket or the pants?
@@MassonLifestyle may do both, but have a skirt cut out with that pocket detail, so it’s the jacket I’m going for. Thinking of using some rayon/cotton flannel I found at JoAnns. Every once and a bit they’ve got something unique and good.
@@craftymystic4868 I agree with you on that. I’ve gotten Cupro from them, Lyocell Twill and a just last December a really nice Rayon Ponte Knit which is surprising but I’ll take it.
Hello Alex, I have missed you, glad to see you back. I would like to know if you know of a good pants pattern for individual with flat seat.😄
Hmmm, I don't! I would try a Palmer Pletsch pants pattern first and then adjust the seat / crotch curve. I usually have to adjust for the Puerto Rican booty so I would think it wouldn't be too bad. Also, I highly recommend the TDCO method of fitting pants. It just gets tricky if you have a pair of pants that is very tapered. I love the Lander pants but I hardly have to adjust them since there since the crotch curve hits me just right.
Alex, I have a few Burda patterns but, haven't sew one up yet. Do you think they run large in sizing or are they true to their measurements? Alex, I have missed you.
Hi Mary! They are actually true to size.
Which programming languages are you learning? I'm trying to get out of dev (PHP/MySQL) work after over 12 years.
I'm working with Swift
