    I've been sewing for 25 years and I watched the whole thing :) I'm completely self taught and just discovered the wonderful youtube world of sewers. So I'm actually learning things I never knew or did wrong.

      When I used to sew, I actually did a lot of "basting" or hand sewing on things that were more difficult, such as zippers and puffed sleeves. "Basting" is actually a large hand stitching to keep things in place while you permanently sew with the machine. Then, after machine stitching, you take out the "basting" stitch.

      I'm the same, but no one ever tried to teach me how to sew and I'm only 19. I'm starting to sew with linen bias cut camisole/slip. It is an undergarment, so I'm free to piece and sequeze as much as I can from the fabric. I'm trying to fit 3 slips in 2½ yards. I could fit as much as 4 if it was straight grain, but bias should be better, so I'm going for it

    • @LTRLtrend
      @LTRLtrend  4 года назад +5

      Thanks for your question! Best top to cutting is professional fabric cutting scissors, making sure they are SHARP and never using thwm for paper..AND, while you are cutting make sure that you are keeping the scissors on the tabletop this will help you cut with more stability. And try to take long drags of the scissors rather than little snips. Also depending on the fabric you are using (i.e. chiffon, rayon, light-weight jersey knits, polyester georgette, satin...any light-weight "shifty" fabric) you can use a "toothy" tissue paper underneath your fabric to help stop shifting while cutting. Hope that is helpful - best of luck and Happy sewing!

    I do have a question, though. At 10:30 ish, you mention notching in the center back seam and I just don't understand what we are talking about. 🤨🤨
    Have a great day!

    • @LTRLtrend
      @LTRLtrend  3 года назад +2

      Thank you so much for being here. Great question, I was notching the center back neck because on a commerical pattern the pieces are cut on fold and therefore there is NO indication for the center back. So I was simply making it easier to find the center back when I sew on the collar - center back notches are cut 1/4" from the fold which would mean you will end up making a double notch as opposed to the center front notch which is cut right at the fold line - which would give you one center notch for CF). Hope this clarifies things for you?! Thanks for watching. 🙏

    Thank you!! This was so helpful-- and thank goodness you mentioned that sometimes you have to use the same piece twice. I thought I was missing a piece in my pattern. Quick question: the pattern layout I have shows the pattern laying in such a way that it would be face down. Can that be right? I mean, it must be right because that's how the diagram is but it seems weird.

    • @LTRLtrend
      @LTRLtrend  4 года назад +5

      Hi LAM, thanks for watching .... glad I could help! Yes, the pattern can be shown as face down when your fabric is all facing up (not folded as sewn in the video). There can be pattern layouts that show right side up (which is the case for asymmetrical patterns), but if there is one one piece in the pattern that is symmetrical (as might be the the case for your pattern) this will mean the pattern needs to be cut face up and face down in order for you to have the opposite piece. Hopefully that sheds some light on your dilemma. Feel free to follow me on instagram at @ltrltrend and DM me personally if you have any further questions! Happy sewing

      Hi Marcy, yes---if you want to cut out one size but do not want to cut your tissue up consider tracing out your pieces. I give you a basic over view of how to trace here: ruclips.net/video/YGJH6cz-iss/видео.html Best of luck! Thanks for your question.

    Is the seam allowance build in to the sizing?

    • @LTRLtrend
      @LTRLtrend  3 года назад +1

      Yes, normally on commeticls patterns like the one I showed has a standard of 5/8" but always chwck your pattern instructions and confirm seam allowance has been added before cutting (some new patterns, psf patterns and the Burda patterns you find in those magazines dont always include). Thanks for your question and for watching. Happy sewing!

    Can you please post a video how to read the pattern? I show McCalls pattern and I don't understand the back part of it it says 40" and then tables of sizes and then how much yardage you need and then same for 60" so I assume 40" and 60" is the wids of fabric you chose. But there are interfacing and contrast and I don't get what contrast mean and all those tables are gigant hot mess to me.

    • @LTRLtrend
      @LTRLtrend  4 года назад +2

      You are so right, those tables are a HOT mess. There will be a video v soon on how to read commercial patterns, but in short, you will need to measure yourself to understand what size you need to follow (sewing sizes are v different from retail sizes, so don't assume you are a size based on what you buy at retail. Yes, the 40' and 60' refer to the width of the fabrics, so based on the fabric you chose you will need to get the amount of fabric that coordinates with your body measurements and fabric width. Best of luck and hit the notification bell to get updated when we post new videos - bc this one is coming soon!

    • @LTRLtrend
      @LTRLtrend  4 года назад +1

      Thanks for watching! In order to preserve all 4 sizes, copy thw pattern you need with a separate piece of tracing paper (make sure to get wide enough paper in order to do this without having to tape pieces together). It's annoy to have to do this, but if you want to keep the other patterns intact, than this is about the only possible way. Best of luck!

    • @LTRLtrend

      Hi! In this video my cutting table was just a table top that I bought from an old fashion factory that was closing. But, you can most definitely make your own from a MDF (medium density fiberboard) wood. It was fairly large and very weavy. However, if you look at my more recent videos you will see that I have just a wood table top (which I made a stand and legs out of an old table). Hope that helps 😅🙏 I have had this question a few times... feel like I need to make a vid about it?!

Yes please please 🙏 I couldn't find any blog posts or videos online comparing fashion cutting tables. could could perhaps touch on the question of, Why you would choose wood over other materials? , or 3/ 4 material options which would work. should you have stainless steal edges? It's my first time making a cutting table. I work mostly with silk fabric, I am trying my best to create the smoothest table. I unfortunately went for teak plywood instead of a teak slab of wood. So it is a little rough and now trying to figure out the finishing for the Ply wood 🤣. FYI I am located in Bali. I'll send you a video of my table being created! Perhaps you will have some tips.

    When measuring the grain line distance, are you measuring to the outside raw edge of the fabric?

    • @LTRLtrend
      @LTRLtrend  3 года назад

      Do you define "outside" raw edge as cut-edge? or do you define the raw edge as selvage edge? This you will need to make very clear because when you are measuring your pattern to the grainline you should be measuring from the selvage edge (which is NOT the cut edge). However, in this video I am measuring from the folded edge... the fabric was folded exactly in half and this way the folded edge also acts like the selvage edge. Hope that answers your question?
