I really enjoy watching your tutorials. I am learning so much. You have a good way of explaining things. Thank you so much.

Thanks Jo, I struggle with fitting my garments so this video is just what I need

We are so happy to hear that!

Thanks so much for the excellent video. The information is clearly explained and I love the samples. What a great resource for me! Please though, could the music be removed? It’s quite distracting and I think it would be much easier to follow the host’s narration without superfluous sound. Keep up the great work Minerva. I love your videos! 🧵

Excellent

Really useful video. Unless specified as high bust measurement on the pattern, are all bust measurements for the full bust?

[@joanneroberts1088]

Yes on big 4 patterns. Indie patterns sometimes give further details.
