Hi, I just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching your tutorials. I have been sewing for over 43 years. I use the same method you did in this video to make patterns. Great tutorial, BTW. My daughters don't always have the time to come here and let me teach them, so your tutes are very helpful. I can send them the link and they can watch from where ever they are. Your instructions and visuals are spot on and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing. : )
I absolutely LOVE tutorials like this where we aren't repurposing old t-shirts to make a new t-shirt, but actually making patterns and using knit fabrics. Very helpful!
Id love to see tutorials on how to use & create clothing out of vintage patterns. There really is nothing on youtube like that. I love to see the creation of taking something old and creating it to something new! There are beautiful vintage patterns from all decades that would be so awesome to make :)
I'm a new sewer....sewist....stitcher... I just got a new sewing machine...a Pfaff expressions 4.0. This is so helpful! I actually think I can do this! Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us ❤
I can't wait to make my own shirt!! I love that you are so versatile! If I had have problems with a project, weither quilting, sewing, or saving money...you are the ONLY one I turn to for answers! Thank you! Thank you for all your help and the extra information you include! I also share your site and information!!!
Don't know how I ended up watching your videos tonight but far from finished! Really enjoy the way you just do it and don't stress over it or slam it with so more details than necessary that scares the day lights out of beginners :)
i would like to see more videos on how to sew A-line skirts because i never find any skirts in the stores and my friends always compliment me on my new DIYs from your channel. Thanks, and keep up the good work! you are amazing!
I would love to see a tutorial on a V-Neck shirt. Also would love to see a video on making your own jeans!! Thanks Vanessa for all your awesome videos.
Love all your videos and I'm always interested in repurposing old or outdated garments. So I would love to see more videos like that. Don't know how you find the time to do all that you do and still raise your beautiful children!
Ooooh the possibilities ... I could start to make my own patterns with my right measurements that's something that I'm really interested as a new sewer
You honestly have some of the best videos! Just finished up the bread video and this has only been my second one but I love them so far! Thank you for sharing your talents. I would love to see some tutorials on different necklines!
wow such an easy t shirt to make . Looks like the sewing machine i bought yesterday will be making me some great clothes to wear. As i am a large lady i bought a machine to make my own clothes as they are so hard to buy in shops. Thankyou once again.
This is the best pattern thank you so much. You are just terrific and your just wonderful in sharing information. Thank you so much as I am not working and do need some shirts. Blessings to you and your talent. Mercedes I love looking forward to your videos.
A great tutorial and easy to follow. Superb for anyone just starting out and wanting to be in charge of their own patterns rather than being a slave to the big name pattern companies. Some videos on developing that idea further would be great. For example. changing the sleeve shape and making the dolman sleeve a little fuller by opening the pattern and adding more fullness. Not that it'd be for me, cos I am a bloke. There are a few of that sew!
A great video! I have the perfect tshirt, really comfy & very forgiving of the odd pound or two (five, ten?!) added, but bought at least 20 years back & so its far too faded to wear outside the house. It's escaped every wardrobe purging over the years simply because it's so comfortable to wear, so is definitely going to be used as a pattern for this project. Many thanks, Vanessa, for the time & troouble you put into these videos for us!
love the video really simple! I would like to see more video on how to make your own clothe like a simple blouse or skirt, its frustrating going shopping and nothing fits the right way.
I just love your videos! I made the hat and my kids love it!! I would like to see a tutorial on curtains and tablecloths!! Thank you for your videos they help a lot!!!
Great tutorial,V!! Perfect for Spring weather coming up. Can't wait to make this t-shirt! I would love to see a tutorial for a simple jacket. Skies the limit for the fabric to use so depending on where you live you could pick a fabric that works for you!
This was a great video. Perfect for me as I just got a sewing machine a few months again and thus far have only used it to alter my hem on pants as I'm a short girl! I would love to see more vids on women's clothing as getting into the world of making my on clothing is really appealing to me! Thanks!!! :D
Loved the video I enjoy the knots they r easier to work with after watching ur videos knits 1 and 2. So would enjoy seeing more night pajama. And that real silky knits for under garments. Thanks
this is great I like this idea to make a t-shirt I am new and learning to sew and I like these step by step tutorials you make it so easy to learn how to do things with or with making your own pattern
I'm a beginner sewer and your videos are so helpful! I would like to see a tutorial on how to made a fly away cardigan. Something light and fun for spring and summer. Thanks!
great video, easy to understand and duplicate the project. Great for teaching my granddaughters how to make things, and how to make things for them and myself. i would like to see some videos of sewing items for tween girls. I loved the fleece hats video too. Thanks
Definitely! I love working with knits because you can even leave the edges raw if you want. Just trying to cut down some steps for beginners. Thanks! :o)
Thank youuuuuuuuu! THIS PERFECT FOR ME! I am a plus size and dislike tight fitting garments, this is perfect for daily or for outings if I added decorations to it.
It seems so easy. I will have to find a shirt to practice on. I'd love to see a tutorial on making skirts or dresses or maybe even refashioning an existing article of clothing to something else.
love your videos - and I like this way of making a top -- hint hint -- I do the neck before I sew up the sides because it gives me more room to work --- easy easy easy - thanks crafty!!!
Hi Vanessa! Thanks to you I've learned how to sew, from your RUclips videos to your classes on Craftsy! I would like to see more tutorials like this one, I would like start making clothes.
Great tutorial as always. Great giveaway too! I would love to see more baby clothes and shoes tutorials.i have an almost 1 yr old and I would like to make her clothes and accessories. You're a great teacher!
I don't need the ruler, but still wanted to leave a comment. I just wanted you to know that I just LOVE all your sewing videos and thank you so very much for taking the time to put them together so well! They are easy to understand and follow. LOVE LOVE LOVE them ALL! :-) Thanks again!
Awesome video!! I started sewing a few months ago and your videos have helped me so much! Because of your videos I am able to do so much more (read patterns, etc.). I would love to see a video on a baby romber with panties and booties! Thanks!!
a great ideal for making a quick and cute t-shirt..i def will make a few of these before summer...the only thing I would do differently is maybe turn the hemmed edges around the neck, arm holes and bottom, under twice so that the raw edge would not need to be cut and it would have a more finished look...but love this pattern...so easy and cute...garment id like to see is easy skirt, apron, or even a long mid length dress...there are a lot of patterns out there but easy and quick is my speed
I really would like to see you do more knit...this really helped me, cause I am really scared of knit. Someone just gave me 2 giant boxes of knit.. and I would like to use some of it... Thanks for all your good tutorials..
Thanks for the video, I also make nightgowns like that but with elbow length sleeves. I'd like to see a video for a serger quilt. Keep up the great work!! You're an inspiration to us all.
Can't wait to try this. Thanks for the great tutorial ^_^ It really helps. I'm beginning to learn to sew cuz I would like to make my own clothes so I would live to see tutorials on how to make a dress and maybe even pants.
I would love to see a video tutorial on how to fit a skirt that poofs out at the back (under a CB zipper). thank you for your videos! they are so helpful.
Thanks for this tutorial Vanessa. I used to sew a lot right after college when I was working, but it has been YEARS since I did any garment sewing. After raising my family I’m ready to jump back in. This is a great refresher course. Please keep making videos showing casual clothes.
My walking foot will be coming in the mail tomorrow and this is the first project from your tutorials that I am going to try. I have some experience sewing, but I have always been afraid of stretchy fabrics and garments. Thank you so much for all of your wonderful videos and clear instructions!
I love stretch knit shirts and i have been wanting to make my own. Thank you for the tutorial...now i can see how easy it is to make them myself. I would love to see a tutorial on how to make a dress.
Another gem! I would like to see a tutorial on maxi dresses...I have a jean jacket that I think would look cute with a maxi dress, but I can't find one I like. Making one to match would be awesome. Thanks!!
Hi Vanessa, I've really concentrated on quilting but my daughters want me to sew clothes for them. We would love a tutorial on how to make an easy jersey maxi dress. They look so comfy but stylish at the same time. Thanks for the great Tut! You always find something great to teach us! Xo
Wow, the French curve ruler must be selling like hot cakes! Just went to get one and they only have 2 left. Thank you so much for doing this tutorial. I have wanted to learn to sew on knit fabric and I think this is something I could do. Now to find a walking foot for my older sewing machine. :)
What a great idea. I would love to see you make a video on "fitting" the garments. I wear XL top but 8-10 stretch bottom or a 10-12 jean. I always have to take stuff in and don't do it well. Dee
My mother asked me this evening if I could sew some seat cushions for her. I love your tutorials and it would be great if you could do one for the cushions. Thank you!
I LOVE this video!! I have never made any clothes before and this video is so wonderful. I am DEF going to try this! It would be great if you could make some kind of video on how to make a skirt! Thanks so much!
What a great video thanks! What I would love to see is some pajama bottoms pants with a draw string waistline I am totally a rookie and looking forward to seeing all your videos.
I would love to know how you would sew hand knits to fabric. Could be for lining a garment or a baby blanket. Thanks for your upbeat style and thorough explanations!
I have my fabric cut out for my first shirt, all pinned, and wow, had alot of adjustments to make on my machine. I have an old Kenmore, but I was lucky it has the stretch stitch on it!! I did have to change the stitch length and width several times to get it to where it didn't pop the stitches when I stretched it. I used some scrap for testing. and Voila!! no popping stitches. yay!! Now i just have to get the courage to go sew it together. I love watching your videos and learning!!
I would absolutely love to see you do a maxi dress tutorial, maybe one I could tie dye, I have some white jersey knit begging to be used for a maxi dress...
The craft I would like to see a tutorial on isn't a sewing project, but based on the talents I see in you, I'm sure you can pull it off! what I'm interested in seeing is your spin on Handmade Wire Jewelry! something cute, neat, trendy, and simple. thx
Excellent tutorial! I'm re-learning how to sew and I love your lessons. I'd like to see how to attach sleeves to a garment. I started making a nightgown 8 years ago and got totally stuck on the sleeves, so packed it away. Nothing too fancy though, just the basics like the Dolman style t-shirt. Also, simple skirts with slit pockets would be great. Oh - and scrubs too. I could go on & on! lol
I used to make this top way back in the day. I made my shell reversible so I could ware one side with one suit and the other side with a different suit. With a jacket no one knew.. I made the neck the same on both sides or one a V neck and the other a scoop neck.
Hello! I am loving how you are showing how to make clothes from what we already have in our closet. It's really awesome! But I wish you would slow down just a little. I've never made any clothing at all so I need your instructions just a little slower. Thank you and I have to say, you rock!
I suggest watching both my other videos on sewing with stretch knits. It was probably the fabric you used that caused the sizing to be off. I have found that if you use fabric that has spandex or lycra in it and it does have very good recovery after it is stretched that the top will end up waaaaay too big. Try again with a lightweight cotton jersey and see. It does take some practice but you can do it! Good luck!
I would love to see you make a simple summer dress that can be transformed by doing simple alterations when wearing it ( e.g. Wrapping it in different ways).
You made all the steps look very easy! I'm not a newbie to sewing but haven't done much lately due to ill health, but hope to return soon. Friends have said they're challenged by these issues, so I'd love to see tips about "figure challenges" such as: larger bust than waist/hips; wider shoulders than industry-std. patterns; how to adj. a pattern (or fin. garment) for those w/slight scoliosis or uneven shoulder blades; or altering patterns for post-mastectomy surgery, or arm/neck scars. Thanks!
I also like casual clothes especially yoga pants, T-shirts and simple skirts and dresses. Almost all the patterns are for knits which I find hard to fit. Would appreciate patterns in both woven and knits and also discussions about what to do with clothing in wardrobes that is too short, eg, tops and shifts. Thanks for great tutorials!
hi there i an a 66 year old and just started sewing and so happy to find you with your easy explaining method for first timers thank you

I would like to see any home decor tutorials. Love your videos! thanks.
My mother asked me this evening if I could sew some seat cushions for her. I love your tutorials and it would be great if you could do one for the cushions. Thank you!
Great video. Love to see more videos on working with knit fabric in clothes construction. For some reason it scares me to sew with knit fabric.
I LOVE this video!! I have never made any clothes before and this video is so wonderful. I am DEF going to try this! It would be great if you could make some kind of video on how to make a skirt! Thanks so much!
Very good tutorial, also use the Embroidery Scissors to cut the neckline allowance.
What a great video thanks! What I would love to see is some pajama bottoms pants with a draw string waistline I am totally a rookie and looking forward to seeing all your videos.
I would love to know how you would sew hand knits to fabric. Could be for lining a garment or a baby blanket. Thanks for your upbeat style and thorough explanations!
I have my fabric cut out for my first shirt, all pinned, and wow, had alot of adjustments to make on my machine. I have an old Kenmore, but I was lucky it has the stretch stitch on it!! I did have to change the stitch length and width several times to get it to where it didn't pop the stitches when I stretched it. I used some scrap for testing. and Voila!! no popping stitches. yay!! Now i just have to get the courage to go sew it together. I love watching your videos and learning!!
I would absolutely love to see you do a maxi dress tutorial, maybe one I could tie dye, I have some white jersey knit begging to be used for a maxi dress...
I would like to see more clothing tutorials, maybe some more of copying patterns/ready made clothing and using woven fabrics instead of knits.
Love this tutorial very helpful would like to see you make shorts for upcoming summer days
a summer sundress for beginners would be great to learn how to make and I like the tutorials with the t-shirts all these sre so useful
The craft I would like to see a tutorial on isn't a sewing project, but based on the talents I see in you, I'm sure you can pull it off! what I'm interested in seeing is your spin on Handmade Wire Jewelry! something cute, neat, trendy, and simple. thx
Excellent tutorial! I'm re-learning how to sew and I love your lessons. I'd like to see how to attach sleeves to a garment. I started making a nightgown 8 years ago and got totally stuck on the sleeves, so packed it away. Nothing too fancy though, just the basics like the Dolman style t-shirt. Also, simple skirts with slit pockets would be great. Oh - and scrubs too. I could go on & on! lol
I used to make this top way back in the day. I made my shell reversible so I could ware one side with one suit and the other side with a different suit. With a jacket no one knew.. I made the neck the same on both sides or one a V neck and the other a scoop neck.
Hello! I am loving how you are showing how to make clothes from what we already have in our closet. It's really awesome! But I wish you would slow down just a little. I've never made any clothing at all so I need your instructions just a little slower. Thank you and I have to say, you rock!
I just sewed a shirt like you have showed and it go wel on first try!
Cute and easy shirt! I'd love to see how to alter commercial patterns to make them fit right.
I suggest watching both my other videos on sewing with stretch knits. It was probably the fabric you used that caused the sizing to be off. I have found that if you use fabric that has spandex or lycra in it and it does have very good recovery after it is stretched that the top will end up waaaaay too big. Try again with a lightweight cotton jersey and see. It does take some practice but you can do it! Good luck!
Very helpful video!! I would love to see a tutorial how to make a simple cardigan. Thanks!!
Loved the top. You make it look so easy. I’d like to make pants that fit.
I would love to see you make a simple summer dress that can be transformed by doing simple alterations when wearing it ( e.g. Wrapping it in different ways).
You made all the steps look very easy! I'm not a newbie to sewing but haven't done much lately due to ill health, but hope to return soon. Friends have said they're challenged by these issues, so I'd love to see tips about "figure challenges" such as: larger bust than waist/hips; wider shoulders than industry-std. patterns; how to adj. a pattern (or fin. garment) for those w/slight scoliosis or uneven shoulder blades; or altering patterns for post-mastectomy surgery, or arm/neck scars. Thanks!
I also like casual clothes especially yoga pants, T-shirts and simple skirts and dresses. Almost all the patterns are for knits which I find hard to fit. Would appreciate patterns in both woven and knits and also discussions about what to do with clothing in wardrobes that is too short, eg, tops and shifts. Thanks for great tutorials!
Your creative style (reversible) is so awesome!
Love this video! So glad I found you on You Tube..I do not get on the computer that much but I am enjoying your site..
Can't wait to get some fabric and make some of these T-shirts!!!
