The measurement around your ribcage would be the circumference. Just like to "Circumnavigate", is to navigate "around" the world. Radius (Measuring from the center of a circle out to the edge, like the spokes of a wheel or rays from the sun.) Diameter (Measuring the width of a circle through the center, having 2 halves. Like folding a cut out circle in half, open it, the fold line would be the diameter.) Circumference (Measuring around the edge of a circle.)
you gave me these explanations before and they flew RIGHT out of my head soon as I had to talk about it. Okay I can see a circle in my head to remind me of circumference, and sun rays for radius. I don’t have something for diameter yet…
@@handmadeharriells For Diameter, cut a circle out of some paper, then fold that circle exactly in half and crease the fold so you get a crisp line. Now, open the circle, see the creased line all the way across the middle of the circle, that's the diameter. It's the width of a circle side to side through the middle.
Marcy, my vote is.... Rob really loves you a lot! 😅 I thought you could use the extra fabric for ruffles also. This is a very educational video for me, you make pattern hacks very easy to understand. Thanks much, stylish lady.😍🤩
You are so inspirational and motivating. I love how you explain the techniques so well and in a fun way. It makes me want to try it out on my own without fear. Thanks for being you!! I love it!!
After 3 different patterns (not every pattern is made for my body) and 4 tries, I have a pattern that fits me. The bodice is 4 sizes different the skirt. So excited to have a TNT pattern! Thanks for the encouragement that every pattern doesn't work for every body. And pattern parts and sizes are meant to be mixed to fit. I sewed a dress with fabric from Hawaii, and shockingly my husband does NOT want matching pants/shorts for our Christmas Hawaii work trip. Guess what he's getting for Christmas, next year. (Don't think I can pull it off for this year)
Just an FYI....I use exam paper to trace my patterns. That's right....the paper you lay on at the Dr.'s office. I get it on Amazon - a box of 12 rolls @ 225' each. Yes, they're narrow, but you can easily tape them together. That way you don't have to cut into your original pattern. AND if you gain or loose weight you can still trace out the other sizes....or for friends. I got this tip from a sewing vlog called Kittenish Behaviour.
Very nice. I saw on a quilting video that if you use scissors on paper, but immediately wipe them down with 100% wool, the wool removes the paper residue from the scissors. It is the paper residue that attracts moisture which dulls your sissors.
@@handmadeharriells I don't know, but agree with you. My GUESS,, is way back sewers used to keep their scissors wrapped in an oiled cloth to keep moisture away. The lanolin in will would do that.. Since I started quilting 5 years ago, I've learned all kinds of new thing.
Pizza is the food of the gods and don't let Rob tell you different! Thank you for the hack inspiration, I'm working on perfecting the fit of a princess seam bodice right now so it's incredibly timely.
I recycle thick see through plastic packaging so that I can place the print more accurately ALWAYS keeping the markers there to help me join pieces together.I Birdy
Hate to say it but I agree with Rob. No matching! The closest we ever get here is hubby's shirt and/or tie will match a color in my dress. Matching is for kids in Xmas photos. I do love the dress.
He’s glad to have your vote. The closet I got before this was a pocket square to match my gown on fancy occasions, I don’t know how I got him to do this 😂but you’re giving me such a good idea for a holiday shot …..
Married couples of a certain vintage do tend to dress alike. Tee hee! You both look great! I think you should wear coordinating outfits for the Rude Red opening. And yes, add a ruffle on the dress.
wait - you taught yourself !! to sew !!!!!!!! unbelievable. you are definitely good at math & geometry. .... & was it pattern hacking or husband hacking ?
😅I must have done some husband hacking to get him to wear matching outfits on camera for more than 3 seconds! Sometimes I think I’m good at math and geometry, so long as I actually don’t *DO* the math and geometry. Kind of a feel thing. Math and geometry have nothing to do with feel, which is also why I think I’m probably truly bad at both 🤣
I really like the matching outfits. Yall are cute!!!... Thank you for the great pattern and your dresses are very nice🎉❤ You made this seem like such an ease to do and you're such a breath of fresh air. Thank you so very much. I'm still a newbie to sewing but intend this being my skill to master this year and conquer my fear.
I figure you probably get this question more than once. So here's the question. I'm looking to buy another sewing machine. I can't decide what to get. So do you have any ideas or favorites?
I’ve got several machines, and I’m planning on a machine roundup video in the coming weeks. They’ve all got pros and cons, including the one I’m sewing on here!
Channeled you last night.. I bought some wax print fabric and wasn’t sure what to do with it. I drafted a pattern using an old bodice and made a 1/2 circle pattern piece to make myself a dress. I’m taller and bustier than you and I wanted it long so I made 4 panels so I could get the length.. I would send a picture if I knew how.
@@handmadeharriells I (and I'm sure everyone else) would really appreciate it if you could. You make things seem less hard you know? If you can't I'm sure there are countless tutorials I could find. I just like learning things from you 😃
I was hoping this would happen in the birthday video👏 My husband and I were not fans of the matching couple look, but that’s because they were too preppy. Things change. You guyz look great!
Its always a happy place in my world when a new video from you appears. There's nothing i don't love about this one. thinking of making a marcy dress for a wedding am going to because my dress will make me feel brave and not scared of going to my first indoor event with LOTS of people in a pandemic. we in the UK are hardcore but i'm a chicken.
Rhonda, I hope you make that dress! Especially when I’m unsure or nervous about a situation, my outfit is my armor. Just happy technicolor armor 😁 And I wouldn’t call you a chicken-I’m a fan of hard core, but not hard headed !
Love this idea and I've hacked a dress pattern or two in the past. I'm with Rob on the matching when you don't have a good neutral top for him. IJS... stay well and safe
I am a new subscriber and I love you and your husband bond and joy. The fun you guys have and the love that ozze through the phone. I pray me and my husband can have that
I can't stop falling in love with your fabric selections. This pattern hack was amazing! haha...you have a dress to match Rob's pants. Love matching outfits Rob...sew-ry~
“Licking poles…” 🤣😂🤣😂 Cute dress! I need to find a bodice pattern to play with. The pants… 😂 Looking forward to that sauce too! Extra length … that’s what she said!
😊that’s how it rolls irl too, if I’m solo telling a story, it has Rob in it. I often have to stop and tell folks I’m not using the royal “we,” just all my stories are a “we” 😉
Can we call it the seam formerly know as prince - ss
BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA NAILED IT!
I'm so excited for this and can't wait to fashion something similar for myself coz darn it I deserve it 😜☺️
Yes you DO!
I absolutely love you two!!! I love the matching outfits, but agree shorts are the way to go.
He’ll get his wish….but we might have to have a dance-off first…
Looks like you made Rob some grumpy pants!! 🥁 🤣🤣 I’m here all night! Great video!
HAHAHAHAHAHA GRUMPYPANTS
He took these off so quick it was like he never had them on 🤣

I love your dress Marci but I think Rob would enjoy wearing shorts better. You two are adorable.
YES!! Matching outfits!! And compete dress plans!! I can’t wait to try this.
I love it, twinning. Thanks for sharing i cant wait to give this a try. I have a bunch of fabric scraps so I'm going to give a try.
🤣I always associate twinning with poor print placement, but now I’ll think of twinning in a good way… Hope you try it!
You are so inspirational and motivating. I love how you explain the techniques so well and in a fun way. It makes me want to try it out on my own without fear. Thanks for being you!! I love it!!
Thank you Linda! I hope you try it, after all, it’s just fabric!
Parabéns está tudo tão lindo amo 😍 essas estampas Alegre um grande abraço do Brasil 🇧🇷

Hi Marcy, I am seeing this in the future, lol 9/22/22, lol... Thanks for the fix! ~M
Always love your videos,
I'm on team matching woohoo 😉. You should put ruffles on his shorts 🤣 just to mess with him
☮️
The matching outfits are adorable! I love it!!
Another great hack, I like Rob's pants aka shorts either way. You both are too darling.
Yay! Rob is back! Love the matching outfits!! But, probably, shorts would be better! (Also, Leo tee shirt!!😍) ❤️
I LOVE Rob's matching pants!
can you do a video for square and round bodice if you get time 🥰
Btw I followed ur directions - made my outfit and maaaaaaaan!!!! It was SUPER!!! Thank you so very much!!!!! 🤘🏾🙌🏾
AWESOME! I’m so happy whenever I hear someone tried a tutorial!!
Good idea. I am enjoying your videos.
Very nice. I saw on a quilting video that if you use scissors on paper, but immediately wipe them down with 100% wool, the wool removes the paper residue from the scissors. It is the paper residue that attracts moisture which dulls your sissors.

Love matching outfits.
Love matching outfits outfits
I know it’s probably too late and it’s probably out of stock, but where did you get that fabric?! Reminds me of ginkgo leaves.
ooo isn't it gorgeous? It was from House Of Mami Wata. Sometimes she gets things back in stock, so you might keep an eye out 💗
I’m laughing 😂🤣😂😷💐. Poor Rob. Fun tutorial and y’all check out Marcy’s feature in the Fall 2021 Threads magazine issue!!
Ah thankya! And I’m going to showcase that technique here soon 💗💗💗
Thanks for letting us know that. Now I will have to run right out and snag a copy, let's go!
Love the matching outfits!
Love the matching outfits!
Good hack Marcy. I can’t leave well enough alone either. I think I’ve changed every pattern I’ve used in my adult life.
I want to start sewing some of my own clothes. I have only used sewing in my art.
Pizza is the food of the gods and don't let Rob tell you different! Thank you for the hack inspiration, I'm working on perfecting the fit of a princess seam bodice right now so it's incredibly timely.
YES. Pizza is all four food groups, depending on toppings!
I love a princess seamed bodice for fitting. You have so many seam lines for adjusting!
You good look good.. I like it . 💓💓💓💓
Ok, I use pellon easy pattern by. The. Bolt. I've used it to make (hack) soooo many patterns. I love it sew much!
Yassss it’s so great! I don’t know why I just don’t buy a whole bolt the next time it’s on sale at Madame Joann. That would feel luxurious!
I recycle thick see through plastic packaging so that I can place the print more accurately ALWAYS keeping the markers there to help me join pieces together.I

That’s a great idea. I just bought an unusable clear shower curtain liner….maybe I should use it for patterns!
Marcy and Rob, are you two ok? Can’t remember if your apt is in the basement or on the 1st floor of your building. Worried about you…
All good! As good as we can be in this rollercoaster world 👍🏽
Hate to say it but I agree with Rob. No matching! The closest we ever get here is hubby's shirt and/or tie will match a color in my dress. Matching is for kids in Xmas photos. I do love the dress.

Muahahahaha!! Team Marcy!
Married couples of a certain vintage do tend to dress alike. Tee hee! You both look great! I think you should wear coordinating outfits for the Rude Red opening. And yes, add a ruffle on the dress.
I made us rude red outfits for a photo shoot last year! But, I’ve never gone full match. I think he might draw the line there 🤣
I love you too. And Rob I vote for matching. Not all the time but on special occasions. Now I need to make that dress 😂🤣
Special occasion matching! Maybe this is how I sell it to him. And YEAH you need to make this dress 😉
I remember when couples did matching outfits in the 90s. I didn’t participate, but you do you, as they say! Love the dress!
This was a thing in the 90s?? So….that means it’s almost back in fashion, right 😉?
The worst was the matching nylon tracksuits!
WOW! just WOW! Thank you for tutorial of the sew hackery
You’re most welcome, gracie!
lol, no to matching pants. lol
Yes Board Shorts Please
Would ribbon be a good idea for straps with this pattern? Love the simplicity of it.
Absolutely, if you feel it’s sturdy enough for a strap! I always try an idea, if it doesn’t work, that’s what the seam ripper is for 💗
hahaha matching is a hard no, but not where you are concerned. Im biased and love my Harriells.
😁😁😁thank you Louke! Well count that as a vote for both of us 😅
I am all for matching!
You are my go-to youtuber when I want to put a smile on my face while learning something new. 😊
🤗🤗you’ve put a smile on mine, thank you Sheryl!

I love the outfits but not so matchy matchy lol y'all are sew cute!!!!
😅thankya!
Love the matching
I love it Rob, sorry.
Sorry. I agree with Rob, shorts will be better, lol -- love the hack!!

Love the dress hack. I'm on Rob's side with the matching pants or🤣
Also, Rob makes a brilliant fashion accessory ;) My hubby is in for it once I learn to pattern hack!
Especially if you’re on Team Accessory Husband 😂🤣😂(Rob often says he’s my backdrop. I think that means he wants to be….not in technicolor 🤣)

That looks pretty easy, I'm still pretty new to sewing but I may try this, I look forward to your videos, you guys are so cute lol Have a great day!

I think the video evidence has changed his outlook on these pants forever 🤣😂🤣
@@handmadeharriells… 😂😂😂 say it ain’t so!
Yay! ♥️♥️♥️🎈🌈♥️♥️♥️
Looks good
My man won't do the matchy matchy thing either, not even same color shirts. 😂
Same! If he sees his shirt is the same color as my dress on a regular outing, he’ll change 🙃
@@handmadeharriells 😂
It's very lovely. So glad you made matching outfits.
Love watching your videos! So entertaining and I love the dresses
I vote yes to matching! This is super cute, thanks for the tutorial.
Maybe a ruffle for Rob's pockets? Nononononono
HAHAHAHA I love that you immediately retracted the idea (I’m sure Rob approves the retraction as well)
@@handmadeharriells HAHAHAHAHA!

Welcome Simone! And thankya so much. We laugh a lot together (and his willingness to do ridiculous things like matching outfit dance offs is key 💗)
!!! I have no idea why I never thought to measure up from the waist! I think I'll need to try an empire waist again.
