The level of "I don't care what you think, I'mma do it how I want' in this video is goalz.
You win my comment contest for this week! 😂
@@Costuming_Drama 😆😆😁😁😁🏆🏆🏆
I have to agree 100%! This is goals for sure.
Yes! There’s the proper way and my way!
Omg, what is this is sorcery!? 🤯
Hey when r you going to be back on etsy ? I want to order a hair pen set but says you're on a trip still ?...
Morgan Donner lol I was wondering the same
Yep, you're a witch. that was magic!
I like to use freezer paper as my patterns & just iron them to my fabrics. Mostly the knits cause lemme tell you it makes cutting sooo much easier! The pattern peels right off the fabric & you can use them repeatedly!
I saw the bell light up for this new video and the tip came right when I was planing to trash a tissue pattern and order a new one. It saved the pattern from being trashed and will be treated to this special care asap, and it saved me from spending money. thank you for this tip. :)
Yaaaay!! 🎉🎉🎉
Cutting is frustrating enough without adding the frustration of rippy tissue. Thanks for the perfect solution. Funny enough, I was just thinking of making some pj bottoms. 🤣
SHE DID MAGIC! WHY HAVE I NOT THOUGHT OF THIS?
hahahahaha
Cool tip for if I ever actually start using patterns, this old dog is a bit backwards, been sewing for close to 43 yrs but always work from the image in my head, guess you'd call it the think it, make it method ha ha
This is actually a great option for someone like me who costumes K-12, and needs to reuse these types of patterns repeatedly!
As soon as I heard your voice I knew it was an allergic reaction. The same they happens to me often after eating something I’m allergic to. I have a latex allergy and many foods have a naturally high level of latex (bananas, kiwi, mango, etc). There’s something specific in the change of pitch and tone from even a minor bit of throat swelling. Thanks for sharing and feel better soon!
I have been doing this for over 20 years and guess what, I still have those patterns. This works amazing and you can Peres them over and over to to flatten them for use.
I quilted a petticoat and used this technique to glue the pattern to the petticoat so I could easily follow it on the machine without rubbing the chalk off
Thank you for reminding me that sewing is pleasurable - fretting about ruining patterns should not happen. I am too much on red alert. I now need freezer paper...😃
Absolutely love the attitude. A soul after my own heart.
Hey Noelle. Nice to see you. I usually put the iron cord over my shoulder if it's driving me nuts. Those pattern weights are awesome! This is brilliant. The number of tissue patterns that I've ripped and had to attempt to tape together.... *le sigh*. I've used freezer paper to block off patterns on t-shirts then bleach spray to make negative images. Nice to see another use for it. Thanks for the demo. Take care of you. Catch you later.
Great idea!! I'll try that next time!
This method is great. But in case you don’t have any freezer paper you can also iron the pattern onto fusible interfacing.
This is so much easier than tracing and cheaper than using interfacing. Thank you!
You're welcome!
YESSSS this is the kind of sewing hack that the world actually needs! Thank you Noelle!
Great tip!!! Freezer paper is awesome for stenciling on clothes too. Just cut out the design you want and use fabric paints.
Definitely need to remember this for my Big Four patterns.
AH! okay butcher paper wax on one side write-able on the otherside.
I was so confused about the freezer paper thing
Sold in Walmart near the Reynolds aluminum foil. Freezer paper is fantastic for applique patterns.
dc in rb how do you use it for appliqué?
@@merindymorgenson3184 you cut the shape you want to applique and iron it to the back of the fabric, then cut out the fabric with 1/4 inch seam allowance, fold the seam, baste and applique the piece on your base layer, when done cut the back carefully and remove freezer paper. You can watch how it's done on YT ... here's one for starters: Applique Tutorial - Freezer Paper Technique ruclips.net/video/Ljl_O2aOT1M/видео.html (though here they stick the freezer paper to the right side of the fabric) ..... or this one: Freezer Paper Applique ruclips.net/video/TlBj8DAp-Jk/видео.html
Esther Hadassa thank you!
@@merindymorgenson3184 you're welcome
You better be safe Girl!!! My daughter has asthma and you are very vulnable. We luv you too much to lose you!!🥰
This would be an awesome choice for someone who loves the Palmer-Pletsch fitting method of taping the seam lines, pinning the seams of pattern pieces together and trying on the tissue. Thank you so much for the video!
I refused to talk on the phone today so I don't have to deal with friends freaking out because of my allergy voice! We now have a drive through plague testing site - and I'm old enough to go - but I am not sick! I am allergic to the rampant mountain cedar!!!!!! Love the tip! Thanks.
I have indoor & outdoor allergies and I am so paranoid every time I cough. My parents know my allergy situation, but I'm like "But what if the neighbors hear me!?"
hahahah me too! I don;t want people getting weirded out around me!
That is so cool! I have never seen that before. The women in my family would trace them then put the originals in the safe. Yeah, my family is weird. I like this method much better. I am just really bad with patterns so I haven’t bought very many. One of my issues is cutting out pieces. I wonder if that would help me cut my fabric more....pattern shaped. 🧐
Thank you for this! I am going to do this for my doll clothes patterns! Those tiny pieces are always a pain if they tear
I love these video’s from the Costuber’s community, they are so useful and such a generous sharing of information and such a saving of time for me, now returning to sewing after a 4 decade gap, (I kid you not ☺️) even the Vinegar tip to clean an iron is useful! Thank you so much, I’m now subscribing 😊
Awww thanks! I’m so glad you find them helpful!
I am so glad you did this video. Everyone always talks about using freezer paper for their patterns but no one ever showed HOW! Now I'm off to find freezer paper!
We don’t have freezer paper here in Australia but I use cheap iron on interfacing! Works just as well. It’s a great idea and so much easier than tracing! 💜🇦🇺
I thought we did, but maybe that's because I've seen it at my grandparent's house and they've had it for 20 years?
Google is your friend. There are quilting and craft shops in Australia that sell it.
Love this! I've had old patterns that are now scrunched up messes, but recently started tracing them with carbon paper onto butcher paper sheets. And I have ironed interfacing to both the iron and ironing board in the past so a little wax doesn't scare me, haha.
Feeling smart as I use to do this with quilt patterns but never crossed my mind to use freezer paper to help with my clothes pattern. Might need to get some when things calm down a bit. 🤗
I personally trace my patterns, but that is because I sew kids costumes, and sew multiple sizes. In your case, it makes sense to use your method. It makes the pattern more durable and reusable.
This is awesome!! I have a bunch of patterns from my grandmother that I've always wanted to use, but I'm afraid of tearing new tissue patterns, much less those, so I'll definitely be trying this out! Thank you!
I was taught to make a sloper pattern out of pellon because it doesnt rip so you can use it over and over. I still have my pants sloper from 40 years ago 😊
So glad to see that you made it home safely!! I had been wondering. I trace but mostly because when I started sewing I was making kids clothes. They keep growing so I wanted all the sizes. For pattern storage I have photocopied the fronts of all my patterns and put them in a binder with subject tabes. So Kids pjs are in one, coats in another and so on. Then I put the patterns in a filing cabinet by number. Don’t remember where I saw this tip but like it so much I have been thinking about doing it to my small knitting patterns which are in file folders in a filing cabinet. Much easier to see what I have this way. And for the Canadians I sometimes put the patterns in clean milk bags. Stronger than freezer bags and free!
okay, now I need some freezer paper! I definitely have some patterns that I traced solely for the purpose of having not-tissue paper
Thank you! This is very helpful! I freaking hate working with tissue paper patterns.
Glad to see you made it back home from your travels!
I'm going to try this with some old patterns that are already cut out. I'm going to use gift tissue paper along the edge so the iron doesn't touch the freezer paper. Thanks for the tip!
This is cool. I could use this myself, but have never heard of freezer paper, only the brown paper you wrap meat in at the butcher. A commenter mentioned here in Ontario she found it at a Home Hardware, so now i can try this.
Agree. I do not bother tracing big-4 tissue patterns. I cut 'em BUT I'm gonna try this!
what a great tip! I am going to have to go do that to a bunch of my patterns that I use all the time.
Great idea........and I have a giant roll of the freezer paper that we use for our other projects.
Thank you..............🌹
Thank you so much! You are the greatest witch of all. This is the best spell I have ever learned to cast.
😂
Thanks for a great way of using and organisation the flimsy tissue paper of patterns, it's always driven me scatty ,
I'm working on a simplicity pattern. This is going to b soooo useful tonight
My grandma taught me to trace over my patterns on tissue paper like you use in gift wrapping... I think add these traced patterns to freeze paper to make them better and be able to keep the original whole...
I love my freezer paper! I use it more in my sewing room than my kitchen. I too am a pattern hoarder. I was able to buy one of the pattern cabinets when Hancock Fabric went out of business and I have it about 3/4 full of costume patterns, clothing patterns, vintage patterns, pdf patterns, and craft patterns for myself and my family.
I know what I'm doing this afternoon . It just so happens I have freezer paper . Fantastic idea thank you for this fantastic tip
Yay! Oh my gosh. Thank you!
Thank you I think this makes a lot more sense than the tissue. I hate when the tissue rips.
I haven't yet tackled a pattern because the tissue is too flimsy. I am going to try this. thankyou for sharing this idea
What kind of magic is this?!!!! Be right back....going to do this to all of my patterns. Great video!
That is brilliant!!!!!
I'm so excited!!! I can't wait to try this!
It's cooling that sets the adhesive so I wouldn't play around with the pattern while it's still warm for the cleaner result. But that's a great hack. It could also work with pva glue and paper since it's also thermoplastic but that's more work
Great idea!
Awesome idea!
Thank you for the tips.
Thank you. Once I start getting into my tissue patterns I'm totally going to use it.
Thank you!
Very good tutorial. So happy to see your home. Sorry about your voice.❣️🇨🇱
This is brilliant!
Makes a lot of sense definitely keeps it easier to use. Thanks
This is genius, Thank You.
Totally a great idea. i love my paper printed patterns because they are sturdy.
Brilliant!!! Feel better soon!
I found this stuff the first time I heard you mention it, and it’s been a game changer! Thanks for the pro tips.
Nice demo, thanks.
This is brilliant!!!! Thank you so much!
That is a great idea!! Thank you for sharing.
Such a great tip 👍 Thanks for sharing with us.
Hi Noelle! I’ve been stuck at home for over a month (I was sick before corona hit and now we’re on stay at home orders) so I’ve been spending my down time watching all your videos! I found you via Bernadette, as many seem to have done. I’m trying to craft my way through quarantine by cross stitching and crocheting once my CS supplies run out. I’m hoping to learn “practical sewing” once the craft/fabric stores reopen. Anyway, I love the vlog (especially the travel ones right now) and I can’t wait to see your ball gown come together!,
Hi! Nice to meet you!! I’m super happy to have you here! Our fabric stores are still open, weirdly... and there’s always online!!
This is ingenious! I’m definitely going to implement this method for some modern delicate patterns I have.
I love your channel and I'm really glad to have found you! This is gold. Thank you!
Such an awesome pro-tip!!! I love this!!!
I have so many used vintage patterns, bought at garage sales and stuff. That is so much easier than tracing an already wore and even ripped pattern.
Thank you great video 🇨🇦
Thank you so much for explaining this. When I do my next supply run I'm picking up a few rolls to preserve one of my favorite big 4 patterns
Such a great tip! So simple, yet so effective. Thanks for sharing.
I hope you feel better soon. Please take care of yourself.
Love this! I also cut out my patterns. I've never been good at tracing them!
Nice tip! Never seen that before and it looks great!
You read my mind!!!!
I've been looking for tips on how to do this properly since you mentioned it ages ago- thank you!
I use freezer paper to trace off my size for patterns that I've paid to have printed in A0 (large format). I love how durable the freezer paper is.
This was a really useful tip, and one I think I will do in the future when I get back into sewing.
Hey! This is an awesome tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you so so much
This is awesome! I wished I'd known this trick back when I was dressmaking.
Thanks so much for this informative video. Now I know how to salvage some of my older patterns... :) Be safe!
Yes Love it! I do the same thing for my patterns for storage. If it is in a zip loc, then I have made it!
Glad to see you made it home okay after your adventure. Thank you for showing this. I was trying to explain this to my mother one day and she just looked at me funny. Now I have prove. Also I hope you get well soon. As a recently diagnosed asthma suffer I get it.
PNW here! My Seattle based friend and I also have that stupid cough. We think it’s from the juniper and other trees pollinating. It passes in a week or so
Hope your feeling better. I’m so trying this, just as soon as I can get freezer paper. Stay safe xx
Noelle, this is pure genius! I have to deal with modern patterns, periodically, for my son’s clothes. I’m definitely going to do this with the patterns I use the most. Thank you! 😁😁
Thank you so much for this great tip
Glad it was helpful!
Wow what a great idea I have many vintage patterns that are very delicate and this is perfect, I hate tracing patterns takes me that long to trace could have half the dress made in that time. I but vintage patterns not to hoard them but to make them. Thank you am off to find my big roll of freezer paper. Cheers Tricia.
Hey I have been doing that since the 1980 (yes my children its been 40 years! I started sewing for real at 25 and have been doing that ever since. It is my JOY in life)
Thanks, this was helpful. I was aware of freezer paper as an aid to appliqué, but had never seen it used for tissue patterns.
