Thank you! Thank you! Thank You! What a great refresher course from what my first high school home ec teacher taught me. I am really enjoying getting back into sewing after 30 years. What a blessing to have found your channel.
Master of the Trade, you are. Thank you for the lesson, you remind me a Lady from Russia ,she was at Zar house dressmaker 1910. ,after the Revolution , she left to my birth country. She made lots of beautiful clothes for me ,when i was a child . I love your style, the way how you talk ,wonderfull . Kamilla Canada.🤩
Thank you for the little details, what is second nature and obvious to you is new and impactful for me, masking tape with width of foot used together to sew a seam with staggered seam allowance. I also need to change my mindset that hand sewing is superior, not a failure of not being able to machine "stitch in the ditch" or top stitch
True enough. My principal sewing machine, shown above, was manufactured in the 1950s. It's a Pfaff 260, designed for professionals to use in their homes. I have mine in the industrial table designed for that machine.They are as scarce as hens' teeth, but if one finds one it should be snatched up.
Hi Laurel, Thanks for another lovely episode. I’ve had the same problem of the bias having two seams close together. Grr, the air is often blue when that happens. 🤬🤓😘
I just discovered your videos and I love them! I have been sewing over 50 years but I have not really KNOWN how to sew in many ways until I watched your videos. Thank you! I will confess I have an irrational fear of drafting and sewing in a lining, particularly for a jacket or coat. I get terrible anxiety at the thought of it 😰 Can you make a video to address linings some day? Thanks nd I look forward to binging the rest of your shows,🥰
Thank you for your comments! You have made my day! What you need to know about to know about drafting and sewing in a lining, particularly for a jacket or coat, is in my book, "Tailoring a Jacket." But the book does not address fit, so you would need a pattern that you have already tested and know that it fits. The book is available on my website at laurelhoffmann.com/product/tailoring-a-womans-jacket/ I use my books when I sew. Granted I wrote them, but I don't remember all this stuff. 🙂

Wonderful as always.
Thank you so much for showing how to finish a dart point. I really appreciate that lesson.
Just the kind of refinement touches and hints I've been looking for to give my garments a more professional finish. LOVE!
Thanks for your comment and support. More coming. Lrl
Hi, glad to see you. As always great advice. Love your vintage machines.
