    Love the lace trim on the skirt! It was a little hard to see the ribbon detail on the lace of the top, but it’s probably lovely in person. Congratulations on your two pretty new garments!

      @AnneS508 14 дней назад

      Both items are beautiful! And I am totally going for elastic waists. Having lost 25 pounds, so many of my favourite skirts with fixed waists no longer fit, but I am, at least, able to alter the elastic waists, thank goodness. I think everything I make now will be elastic or wrap. Life often brings altering waistlines (stress over breast cancer, in my case), and being able to adjust one's clothing is a great benefit - plus, its comfortable!

    I think that’s a great tip that you shared from your mom regarding not having to amass a collection of patterns but rather hack them. It can be very tempting to buy all of the things. As a new desist, it’s sometimes hard to identify the differences or similarities between patterns and know whether or not you can make do with what you have. Possible video idea?
    I recently watched a video you did with the McCalls 8181. I’m going to use that pattern to try and make a top very similar to the one you just made in this video.

    Hello! I'm so impressed by your ability to just whip up garments like this! I absolutely love the top! I really like RiflePaperCo as well. But I find the 44-45" width they use makes the fabric a bit more pricey for garment sewing because you have to get more. But maybe I'm due for a treat?! Thank you!

    The skirt is great, and the top is fantastic! A tip is to reverse the zipper next time. That way the top will open at the crotch point and it will be easier to wear!Also, you cut this design of fabric very well!I really like the music you put in your videos! How could I find it?

    • @LaurenJohnson
      @LaurenJohnson  Месяц назад

      Thank you so much! I placed the straps face down on the top, and basted them in place first, then then I stitched across the top with the lining in place, they are caught in that seam. Think of this pattern as a strapless top, so the straps are caught in the seam of the lining and outside. I hope this makes sense!
