This was great! I hope you turn it into a series: how to read the pattern, how to pick out the correct fabric, on/against salvage (what if there no marking), make adjustments, etc. I have patterns I'm sitting on, afraid to use it because I'm afraid to waste fabric... I know thrift sheets for a demo...😂😂😂
I went to a hardware store and bought twenty-four, large, flat, galvanized washers. I then made sure I wiped each washer off carefully (to remove oil or grease that may be on them). I use the washers as weights to hold my pattern pieces in place (then I cut). Before I remove the washers, I transfer marks to the fabric and add a few pins to hold the pattern pieces on to the fabric. I remove the pins when I start sewing. I use one big pin to hold the pattern pieces to the wall (near my sewing machine) all together. Later I remove that pin and move all the pattern pieces to the ironing board. I use a hot iron and fold all the pattern pieces used up together (as I press and fold until they are folded small enough to return to the pattern envelope). This was the way I was taught to do it back in High School; However using washers as pattern weights is new. The weights make it easy to move the pattern pieces around until you have the best layout. Using weights keeps the pattern pieces from being blown off (or knocked off) as you work.
I love your content. I like to use the quilting pins with the yellow head for pinning. I find they are just the right length. I’ve never used the flat head pins but they seem useful for pinning to sew.
I use my sewing pencils or sewing chalk or sewing marker and weights to draw a line around my pattern and cut along the line. When it's on a fold, I might use a pin. Or draw on both sides ❤ either way works. It's all about preference I think. But maybe there is a more "professional" way idk ❤❤❤❤ I love your videos

My advice is to iron your pattern pieces, esepcially if they're tissue paper, and your fabric to make sure both are flat and as they should be so you get an accurate cut when you cut your fabric out. It irritates me no end when i see sewing tutorials online and that step is missed as it means you are more likely to have more fabric under the pattern or odd cutting lines when they should be straight, etc.

Yes, these are definitely on my list of videos to make. I’m glad we’re on the same page.
Thank you for making these videos. It helps to learn how to sew easier.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying them!

Great tips! Thanks so much!
Nice video..I enjoy the tutorials. Ty
I'm so happy you liked it!
I love the flat head pins they’re my go to, along with clips for certain things
Great tips and demonstrations! And nice manicure! 💅
Thanks so much! 🥰
This was so helpful. I’m currently taking sewing lesson
초보자들에게 정말 도움이 될 것 같아요. 사소한 거라고 생각할 수 있지만, 이런 지식 하나하나가 모여서 제대로 된 sewing을 할 수 있으니까요❤영상 고마워요❤

i usually trace the pattern with a washable marker or chalk then cut it out
That’s a good way to do it as well 👍🏾
Exactly what I do!
Thank you! New subscriber.

Very good suggestions! I have a video on needles, but I’ll add the others to my list.
This is the first pinning tutorial that has not made me feel like I should just give my sewing machine to someone who will actually use it.
You can do it! I’m rooting for you 👏🏾👍🏾👏🏾

Beloved why noʻt just use a stapler?
Because using staples is more time-consuming, and difficult to remove them.
No using tips or chop, chop, chop, with a little part of the cutting area.
