Thank you so much for this skillshare opportunity! Looking forward to learn :)
Excuse me, do you believe in God?
This would be a great series! You could try new recipes off Pinterest or other crafts.
Hi Megan my favourite was the dress at the end it was so so pretty and really suited you. I love watching you sew ‘freestyle’ have you ever made a dress with a little collar and have you ever made anything for your kiddie winks . Take care and keep safe god bless you. 🤗
@@margarita8858 she is mennonite of course she believes in God
I’m an atheist, alternative, 17 year old European girl, this would normally not be the thing I’m interested in (even though I would love to learn how to make my own clothes), but you are the only RUclipsr that I ever watch a 40 minute video from!! You are so welcoming and relaxed, but definitely not boring!! I love watching you and I hope you have a good day!!!
A couple of tips from a n old sewing teacher:
-To prevent bird nests at the start of a seam, without having to remember to hold onto the threads, start and end any line of stitching by sewing off of or onto a scrap of fabric. It prevents those tangles and saves thread too! Sew right off of the scrap, and onto your seam. At the end of the seam, stitch onto another scrap instead of pulling the fabric away from the machine and leaving a thread tail, (unless you've got another seam lined up behind it.) Now the scrap is already there when you start again. Clip off the one you started with, you can reuse it. It takes a while to make it a habit, but it really helps.
For your lined dress bodice, you can save time and eliminate the binding if you sew the lining RIGHT side to the bodice and turn it toward the inside as you would a facing. Before the rest of the dress assembly of course! If the fabric is stretchy, add a 1/4" strip of a stable fabric (or stay tape) to the seam or understitch it on the lining side.
To make gathering easier, zigzag carefully over a bit of thin string or thick thread, being careful not to catch it in the stitching and keep the zigzag in the seam allowances so you don't have to rip it later. Then you just slide the fabric along the thicker thread. So much easier than basting, and the thread never breaks!
Such amazing tips! I’m going to use these. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
yesss!! when I saw she went through the trouble of making a double bodice for the lining and put in wrong side out I was so confused...
About the gathering tip, there are presser foots that help by keeping the thicker tread encased in the midle while we sew the zigzag. Plus, another way of gathering is to ajust the length and tension, in most fabrics the machine does the work for us! but its harder to ajust later if needed.
Aaaaaand Screenshot 😊thankyou❤
A ruffle foot was one of the best investments I've made as far as sewing goes. It wasn't too expensive either.
@peggy cleary thank you!!
“You can’t have a clean house and sew at the same time.” I’m need to make a sign that says this. I need my husband to know that I’m not the only one!
Not alone at all sister!
As a beginning sewer I absolutely love this! Seeing things on pinterest is fun, but seeing it being made is even better! Much love x
Awww, glad you watched. Everytime you sew, you learn something new.
You are me! I sewed with my daughter's around as soon as they were old enough. Children naturally love to do what they see you enjoying if they have aptitude for it, and my girls both sew all kinds of things all the time now.
Also I love the way you include the things we all do (or at least I do) like knocking the mug with your elbow and not being sure whether a project will come out well!
I see you are using a Bernina. Do you go to there site and watch their tutorials? If not, I suggest you check it out.
Tiered dress for the win! So cute. I think maybe the reason the pattern fits you differently than when it was just a shirt is that the weight of the skirt pulls the blouse down so the curves hit you differently...where the waist dips in is now pulled down to the hip (so it feels tight), and under the arms the fabric can pull away from your body due to the weight of the tiers. You might try a belt at the waist to see if you like the fit better. The belt will allow the waist to sit back up where you want it, and carry the weight of the skirt. Just tack loops of embroidery floss into the side seams for belt loops. A braided rope belt might look boho chic! Just an idea...if you are comfortable enough then leave it as is.
You are a natural designer and seamstress. You have an adventurous spirit with everything you attempt or do.. i am a senior and I can hardly wait to see your next video. Please continue to express your religious beliefs. More of us need to do this.
“You can’t have a clean house and sew at the same time” YES! Haha! I am a house-wife (currently trying to have kids while I’m in school about to graduate) and it always seems the house goes “downhill” when I sew haha! That is so relatable!
I don’t know why I never though of trying to make a full wardrobe from my Pinterest board...
Seems obvious but hindsight always is
For the color blocked shirt that you did first, I would recommend sewing all your fabric like a quilt, piecing each together, then pressing it and cutting out your pattern after you have put that part together. It would remove those seams that you have stitched down and give you a more polished look. :) I think with that little change it would be perfect!
yes, it will give it that professional look!! Its very cute!!
I totally agree. And maybe colors that are softer. She’s on the right path tho.
A 32 minute video! We have been truly blessed ❤️
I love watching your sewing videos! I am new to sewing. I am apostolic and can never find modest clothes so this really helps. PLEASE keep making videos like this.
Love the sewing tutorial! When I learned to see a ruffle we were taught to sew to lines of basting stitch about 1/8" apart and gather. Then sew to the garment in between the two lines to lock in the ruffle. Then pull out the bottom basting stitch and voila! A ruffle
I love your channel, your projects, and how honest & relatable you are! You are making the most of this precious period of your life as a stay-at-home Mom. You are an excellent role model for other young Moms, but women of all ages can find inspiration in how you plan your day around your children’s schedule. Working woman can also put your ideas into practice for a more productive day. I like that you use the early morning time before the kids get up to tidy & clean, prep for breakfast & day’s activities, and work on your channel. You spend quality time with them & let them help & learn, but you also give them time on their own for imaginative play & exploration. They are always within sight & in safe surroundings. While they nap, you have your quiet time or learn new skills, make plans, finish projects and film. You use your time wisely, dedicating yourself to family and couple time, which are the most precious times of all. You live out your faith and values in real & practical ways. Thank you for sharing all your times with the RUclips world. Love & blessings to you and yours 🦋🌸🐝🌼🐸🍄🐕🐾🏡💒💗
Holy moly!!!! As a Home Ec sewing flunkie, your sewing videos are mesmerizing!!!!! I loved this so much!!!💗💗💗 I remember the first sewing video of yours I watched, my jaw almost hit the floor, it was unbelievable for me to see someone do what you did! You are amazing! Please do more videos like this!!!!!
Hey Megan,
can you make a video about family planning? How/Do you prevent pregnancy? Or how does Mennonites handle this theme?
Thank you!
Sending you Gods Blessing from Germany
I'm newish to sewing and you've helped me to realize how easy sewing a shirt can be. :-)
The ruffles are cute, but I doubt I'd ever take the time to make them myself.
I kind of want to sew more clothes, but I find that almost always, buying them is cheaper...tbd on if some day I take in on as a hobby in spite of the higher price. For now, I'm sticking to household projects, a few baby gifts for friends, and cloth masks for wearing when I have to go on errands. Thanks for the sewing inspiration!
My favorite was you favorite too. The double bodice was smart, not so clingy as a result. Love creating new styles, esp when they are so economical. Great job !! Keep them coming!
I love it that other people can just create a pattern in their head.
This was such a great video its like I was watching myself talking in my head about sewing I loved it. It's my first time watching you and I look forward to watching more of your adventures with sewing!!!
I don’t love sewing but I don’t really have a choice as a Mennonite lol unless I want to pay someone and I don’t really like doing that either. But I love the dress on you. The shirt projects kinda made me laugh! 😆 it’s great to see your bloopers... thanks for being real. 😉❤️ see ya next week Megan!
You are so brave! I loved watching you create your outfits. When my husband and I lived in the Philippines, I I had a seamstress who came to the house weekly. I simply showed her a picture and she produced an outfit that looked exactly like the picture without any pattern. She was able to make my sisters maternity clothes and dresses for my mother both of whom lived in Texas and for my children and of course for me. I’m marveled at her ability to look at a picture, take measurements and produce something so beautiful and professional. I really enjoyed watching you Meggan. Is there anything you can’t do? Bravo!! You have inspired me!
My eldest started learning on @ mini machine when she was 5, she's now 10 and confident enough to go off and see on her own and has a proper machine now x
You seem like such a lovely positive person. I have a 26 month old with red hair just like your little girl too. All the best to you and your family and thank you for brightening my day with your videos.
“A life long learner”... that resonates with me. This video certainly watered a seed that has been under the surface for a while...I would love to learn how to sew. Simple things initially. This morning I came across a bag of scrap fabric and I thought that it would be great if I could sew some cloth napkins. But I think I’ll search Pinterest to see if I can find a tutorial on how to sew fabric napkins by hand.
Keep on creating 🌼It’s inspirational and satisfying to watch 😊
Take care and keep well 🌺
I love your plexiglass extension! Now to find one for myself!
The reason your shirt looks crafty is because you sewed the band onto the shirt and not into the shirt. It is still salvageable and has the potential to be an A+. The design idea is there and good! Don't give up!
I was thinking that myself. 😁
Yes, I also thought maybe a light weight fabric for the add on strips?
I really like the 2nd shirt you already had with the ruffled bottom--it is so cute on you. You should wear it! If you think it isn't modest, maybe sew a higher waisted slim skirt or a slip-style dress to go under it so you wouldn't show any skin when you bend over. The first shirt was a bad idea--it brings all the attention to the bust. Thanks for the sewing videos. I love that you're so creative and willing to just go for it trying new things!
Yes! You are entertaining...but in a GOOD way!! 😉 Thanks for all the sharing and FUN!!😀
I hope you teach Evonnie to sew , even if she thinks she doesn’t want to learn. At least the basics.
Every one of my grown kids and grandkids bring me their sewing and mending. Obviously I DIDNT
teach any of them, anything about sewing. I wish i knew more.
I love this video, I stumbled across it and clicked because I sew quite often just for fun but it was really nice to see how different people can adjust fast fashion style to fit their needs/wants.
I have the same problem of not being able to cut fabric on my floor, but not because I have kids, it's because my cat learned that if she runs and jumps on my fabric she'll go sliding across the floor, so as soon as I flatten out my fabric she'll do it again.
I like the last dress. You make sewing look so easy ♥️
I think it is amazing that you can see something and sew it without a true pattern. You’re extremely talented to be able to do that. The ruffles are amazing too and I love both the dresses on you! I have a hard time sewing a button back on! Ha! 💕
For a double bodice like you made, it can help to trim 1/8 inch from the inner layer neckline before you sew it. It will turn and pull more to the inside when you line up the shoulders as usual, giving a turn in that lays to the inside. I am impressed at how you drape and draft your own patterns. This is very cute. I like every thing you did. For the quilted shirt, it seems the inspiration was in quilting cotton and your shirt in a rayon knit. Hard to duplicate easily, but you did it well.
This is a great tip!
You’re really good at sewing ! Your efforts are definitely noticed. Not just in the sewing but in putting videos together and you’re a pretty lovely lady! ☺️
Honestly I would love a detailed video on how you made the dress, patterns and all.
I commend you for even attempting this! You did a wonderful job with so many different styles. I love the peplum style shirt! 💕
You should make a business and sell your clothes. If you had one and make the flower dress I'd totally buy it☺️
The ruffle shirt is cute, I would have brought it in a bit on the sides to make it more fitted. Maybe a back bow or tie to make it fitted? The dress is super cute!
Haha when you are a Mennonite and haven’t had a baby in the past year, you basically have to wear a “I’m not pregnant” disclaimer sign 😂😂 story of my life 😂
You don’t have to explain your little messes ❤️ We know you are human, and have house that is lived in and loved! Everyone has messes. I would be more concerned if you didn’t have messes! I really loved this video. It was so interesting. I need to buy a sewing machine!
Ok. This was super impressive. I can’t sew a thing and I watched every bit of this. The finished dress was so cute! Well done Megan!
I love sewing but it's time consuming and messy so I don't too often but watching this made me want to sew more. Love these types of videos!
Mimi G ... on YT uses large round flat washers (about 2 1/2 inches across) . And they work Amazing for securing pattern & fabric / buy at hardware store inexpensively..Think You would Love ❣
something you said spoke to me , you asked "does anyone have that on edge feeling when sewing too" I do not sew but i do have a edge or leaning into the unknown feeling when painting. it is as if the painting is happening and becoming itself through the process . i love this time , because i feel closest to the creator during these moments m,y mind is clear and i am just in the creative mode. God did not have a pattern when the world was created . I've learned to lean into that time and really connect with the creator and universal love that fuels this life. anyways , that got a bit deep ...but yes live on the creative edge ...where god is
Wow, this is such a powerful metaphor! love it!
What a beautiful statement!
I am currently sewing for my daughter. She teaches Kindergarten and needed some aprons to wear. She chose the crisscross back, Japanese style apron. So, to RUclips and Pinterest I went. I found the style and then found the apron made from a men's shirt. One had a pattern I could draft and one was on the fly. I tried to draft the pattern and then decided I would fly instead. So, I deconstructed on of my husband's shirts and am putting the final touches on now. You are not the only flying sewing enthusiasts out there.
My late and great Nanna was a seamstress before she got married. She taught me so much. Your taking me back to happy memories. Xx
The ruffled grey top was adorable on you and no one would think it was maternity with your cute figure. I think since it is so close to your last maternity.
I loved the shape of the first tee-shirt as well, and the dress is super cute! Kudos to you! :)
You are a hoot. I'm about to break out the sewing machine. Watching this is inspiring, and I haven't made a dress since my daughter was twelve, a good twenty-four years ago. Carry on: it is a pleasure to watch you enjoying your children and life in general.
I cracked up when you said it was a bugger to get in as that's something we say here in the UK...........
I thought I misheard so had to rewind.......no you DID say it was a bugger to do.......
Brilliant absolutely brilliant........made my day!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I laughed too and thought exactly the same!! I live in the UK too xx
I thought she said bugger, like a Bug, like it bugs you
She probably doesn't realize what it means, or she wouldn't've said it.
I got my mouth washed out with soap when i was a kid, for calling my sister a bugger. I couldn’t understand why because she was bugging me. Wasn’t she a bugger? I’m still offended. 🤨
@Aray Rocks not a swearing word in the USA.
What a fantastic job! Your pieces turned out beautiful!
Literally sat here and watched you make this the entire time thinking "I can NOT sew in that kind of materiel!" Aaaaannd now I've been convinced to at least get my machine out ;)
I really like your channel. I've been binge watching. I have kids older than you but feel so inspired by you. Being a Mennonite doesn't seem really any different than me being a Christian. I dress more casual than you but our hearts are in the same place. You and your family are beautiful, you'r kids are well parented. Thank you for real life.
That’s genius with doubling up the dress fabric!!!
Butcher paper works well also for making your own patterns. And, canned goods are great pattern weights.
I like watching the sewing parts. It is fun to see how your designs are going to turn out!
This was inspirational. I don't like to sew when I feel like I have more than enough clothes, but I will probably sew more blouses soon, since I don't have many of those and one of them is wearing out.
Shemiggle ! ! ! I love it. I'm going to find ways to work that into my conversations. :-)
That was a super fun video!! I liked the edge on the sleeves and the last dress was super cute!
Enjoyed your video!
Just a quick sewing tip. When you sew a gathering stitch for the ruffles on the skirt. Sew 2 gathering stitches side by side. About a quarter inch apart. It is so much easier to pull on the 2 threads to gather ruffle. (Hope this makes sense. )
This is great! I have a pile of fabric I ordered to make my daughter and I matching dresses, and even though I’ve made dresses before like this (laying out a dress and cutting around it), I’ve been so nervous! I’m inspired to give it a shot now :)
I love your style. I wish I was allowed this creativity when I learned to sew. My mom was very strick and full of rules. Maybe I would like to sew more. It is a skill I'm proud I have.
I'm blessed with a daughter in law who loves to sew, and we'll, I can't sew buttons, so I pay her to do it for me.. great video
I’m not happy you were having problems with your sewing machine or that some of your projects didn’t turn out the way you hoped, BUT it is so encouraging that things don’t always go right for you either-whew!
Yes I dont like those days when you cant do anything rite with sewing. My mom said when you get frustrated with sewing then quit for the day😊 love this video thanks👍
That's probably good advice!
Oh my gosh these are amazing!! Got me wanting to sew again!!
Oh I completely get the amount of days it takes to sew with littles. I watched this video while sewing... it took me three different afternoons to watch the entire video. Ha!
Love the dress!! I’m a dress wearing girl as well, and this gave me some new inspiration!!:)
I want to go back to wearing dresses but I don’t like what they sell in the stores. I have bought some dresses online but some are too small or too big, make me look pregnant, UGG! I want to go back to making my own dresses. I know how to sew with woven fabrics but not knits. 😬
I don't much care for sewing vids, but I found this one interesting. Probably because you kept it simple. The designs are cute. Everything looks nice on you, imo. The top with the two ruffles, I felt could use one more ruffle to make it longer. Loved hearing Evonnie talk about her doll bumping her head and breaking her arm. She makes me smile. Every time.
You seem like such a nice person. I am from PA originally but live in Texas. I am visiting central PA for like a month or so with family and I wish I could run into you! ❤️ One day I would love to learn how to sew like you do. Inspiration for sure!
I grew up sewing all my own clothes, making patterns from magazine pictures. You've given me the incentive to get back to it.
Hi Megan, such a lovely video which really took you a lot of effort and time to film. Really appreciate and loved to watch it. I really feel you speaking about the mess sewing creates. Even if you try hard, the stuff is all over the place 😂 Really enjoyed watching it while baking cake N°3 and 4 for my boyfriends 30th Birthday today. He wants to take two to work tomorrow 🙈 and two will be eaten this afternoon with his family. Strawberry cake and Marmorkuchen (black and White dough and then swirled in the baking Pan - common cake in Germany) xoxo Stephanie
I am also a fellow Mennonite mom, and though I enjoy new dressers I will never be the avid seamstress my mother was who sewed for my three sisters and I sometimes all matching dresses in a day. So I love when you “wing it” And make it look easier to me they were just doing it by figuring out math seems a little overwhelming. I love the more fabric of your first shirt and I think it fit you so well I just didn’t care for the stuff you sewed on top for the stripes I would just take those back off and wear the shirt without it, and the dress was really cute!
tiered skirts are the easiest to make! they only require rectangles and you can customize the size and style easily. The downside is gathering the fabric, but it's most time-consuming but not hard at all in terms of difficulty.
A+. Adorable. Not maternity at all. Very stylish. You are so brave. I almost always follow a pattern.
LOVE! Your so talented. I love the modesty too ❤️
I wonder if the shirt with the patchwork would be nicer, if it wasn't applied on top of the mauve, but instead colorblocked and pieced together.
Much more time consuming, but might yield a better result.
Just a tip for anyone watching!
Also, yes. I usually try to spend a day or two cleaning the house, then spend a day off sewing!
BTW: The ruffled bottom edge on knits is called a Lettuce edge. Great job. I love your free-form sewing.
Megan I am so impressed with you making your own patterns. That is something I couldn't do however I do see a lot. I sew for my granddaughter (most of her clothes), my daughter and I mostly tops and dresses. I loved you dress. Just a little hint, if you are lining the bodice it is most common to have the wrong sides together, because you don't ever see the inside of the fabric. But amazing job!
Yes, I will have to do this next time. For some reason I didn't think of it!
Don't be so hard on yourself❤.. Absolutely love your dress. Really close 2nd is the top with frills. Thank you and well done. Best wishes all the way from Australia.
My sewing machine always acts absolutely stupid when I really want to get something done now. I understand your frustration. I love sewing but sometimes I have my times of tears and heartfelt prayers. Sewing and gardening seems to have me praying more.
I really like the first t-shirt and the last dress. I want to make the last dress but I found a pattern on Etsy. I’m good at sewing but not so great at pattern making. I’m going to make my own t-shirt pattern like you did.
Make sure too add seam allowance when making patterns, like your sewing Corner set up! My teen enjoy hand sewing Barbie doll clothing... with my scraps from my sewing adventures
Megan so cute my mother used to make her own dresses and for the babies , but I should have paid closer attention ,, I envy anyone that can sew thieir own clothes !!!!
Save the ruffle shirt for maternity wear, be it yours or a friend's.
as much as you sew, girl, you need to invest in a gathering foot. i have been sewing for years and only invested in one a few yrs ago. it cuts ruffle time in half. all you do is put the foot on set to the biggest stitch and it will gather as you sew!! also the ruffled shirt is very cute, but i agree on your thinking it could look maternity! i would have sewn it different but cant really explain in words that it would make sense. it would lay more flat. great job!!
I agree on the 1st top , the top turned out really cute but the strips you added to the top made the top look cheap it just didn’t look right. If you’re able to take that piece off you should.on the 2nd top I think you could add another ruffle to the bottom the only think it would be hard to match the color or if you’re lucky to find something that would look good with the color of the top. Or you could remove the ruffles and add new ones. When you finished the 2nd top I think it would look much better with less ruffles I think it would lay better and it wouldn’t look like you’re covering up a baby bump 😂 I liked the top but with less gathering on the ruffles 👍🏼. The dress came out so cute ♥️. And all the things I said about the two tops are just my opinions . I think you did an amazing job making those outfits without patterns you’re very brave👍🏼.
“You can’t have a clean house and sew at the same time.” Amen! 😆
I’m really wanting to sew more with knits and make practical clothing. Your projects are really inspirational. Thank you.
Holy crap! I'm a local from a neighboring county and a FREQUENT visitor to yours! Small world. Instant subscribe!
I loved to sew when I was quite a bit younger. I sewed all of my children's clothes too. Sadly my eyes have given out & I can no longer see well enough to sew. I love your dusty gray ruffle top the best. So much talent - making your own patterns, wow !! Thank you for sweet content.
I love them all!! You do not look like you are expecting with any of them. I know we are harder on ourselves, but truthfully you look fantastic in all of them! Way to go. I sew quilts but I fail at making clothing!
Have you ever tried a gathering/ruffler foot? They are amazing!
You are courageous Megan! I think a possible issue with the ruffled shirt might be too much gathering, maybe a little softer ruffle would have been what you needed! Love the dress and the neckline looks perfect!
I never liked sewing. It used to take me many hr. and I still was not happy with finished products. I also felt guilty for not cleaning my house, preparing meals longer & spending time with my children... Those days are over. I shop the thrift store, not compete with the other Menomite ladies & wear whats modest & clean ;)
Love your sewing videos
A quick way to make gathers is to zigzag over a thicker string, pull the string and boom easy to gather. Love the frilly hem!
Oh neat. I guess that would work too!
You can understitch the neckline on the floral dress. It will stop the rolling.
❤️I LOVE THIS KIND OF VIDEO❤️: so much information: it gives us such an amazing value through your explanations and resources!
The grey top with ruffle is very pretty! I totally understand your concerns about looking like your
trying to hide a pregnancy with the ruffle!! I have the same issue in my community!
did you end up liking the top?
My favourite outfit is the ruffled dress : LOVELY!
🌸THANK YOU 🌸to promote modesty: as an Orthodox Jew: it is so important for us as well!
Stay blessed and healthy sweet Megan!
PS: thank you for the skillshare : I will definitely use it👍 I totally agree that we have to be life long learners! Im tackling to learn a 7th language! Any learning planned for you?
Wow! Seven languages! Sounds like my dad... but for all his languages, he didn't teach my sisters & I any.... Once my grandparents passed (in 56 & 57) none of his family spoke anything but English... a hold over from being German in the USA during WWII... some of that held over to the early 60's, unfortunately.
Bless you in your continuation of learning languages & may someone be inspired by your love of learning. Shalom.
