Knit garments are often designed with negative ease. That means the garment measurements are less than the body measurements. It helps if you can calculate the percentage of stretch. You measure a 4” piece of the fabric to see how far it will stretch. If that 4” stretches to 6” that means it has 50% stretch. If it stretches to 8” that means it has 100% stretch. Often fabrics have different amts. of stretch in different directions. Side to side might have 50% but vertically might have no stretch or 25% stretch. It’s a good piece of info. to have so you will learn over time which fabrics are good for which types of garments.
Thank you! Can you tell me how to decided negative ease depending on the strecheability? For example how much negative ease to add for a 50% strech or to a 80% stretch? Is there any formula to calculate it?
I second this. How?
I would also love to know! ☺️
@@shmwmlam3953 i haven't sewn with knit fabric before but i do knit and i feel like it would be dependent on how you want the knit to look, if you half your measurements for a knit fabric that has 50% stretch then the knit will be constantly stretched out and that will affect the look(how close the stitches look, how straight they are, whether theres any visible gaps) so maybe taking ur measurements down by a quarter would be better(ie 24 inch down to 18 instead of down to 12). this is theoretical and not from practical experience though so i could be wrong
@@worm.5248 No I think you are right. Because its totally make sense. Thank you for your input. I love to knit. I brought knitting hooks and books and everything but I don't have patience or time to sit and knit and it took me so long to knit a small sweater for my cat. Its sad because I really wanted to make something for my self. How many days it takes you to knit something and how are you allocating time?
I really appreciate seeing someone who isn’t an expert doing it and learning from mistakes! It’s such a great motivator to just try things and experiment.
That purple dress is gorgeous!
ME, TOO!!!
I could not agree more. Love this lady! No excuses!
Personally, I absolutely love when you make mistakes and then show us how to correct them. That's part of (I would think) everyone's process, so it's good to see how you handle it. Both dresses are brilliant. Thanks again. Big Hugs
I'm turning 40, and my 76 yr old mom and I always text each other "did you see Charlie's newest video?" Its a Friday tradition😊
We love watching your chaos and shenanigans, you're so fun and yourself.
❤ from Maine,
Deb
Aw that makes me so happy!
@@gettheetothestitchery you make US very happy and we love sharing that together! Thank you for ALL the fun shenanigans ❤️❤️
I usually draft without seam allowance. A tip I got from Enchanted Rose Costumes was to use magnets on your scissors to measure your seam allowance. She's got multiple little magnets to build out to her desired width. I've got one magnet that is 1/2 inch, so I pop that on my scissors and it has SAVED MY BUTT so many times. So if you think you might want to use different seam allowances on different projects with the same pattern, you can do that!
😊
Yeah I'm a boob and need stitch lines, the seam allowance is kinda arbitrary...I really should stick some magnets on my scissors as a reminder though, every now and then I miss my neon sharpie notes on my patterns about adding seam allowance...
Wait that's an amazing idea
@@DragonRiderShiru isn't it? I'm so glad that Marika shared that tip!
@@NatalieCrafts I'm definitely going to give it a try. I cut a lot of minky and that would be so much easier than tracing.
"My brain is far too busy looping the same eight counts of a song I heard yesterday to handle all of that!"
I may have literally just discovered this channel, but I love it already.
I also just discovered it and am wondering if the ADHD is subtext or explicit 😆. She certainly talks in a way that would line up with assuming the audience already knows 😂
@@zoelawrence568 i wondered the same thing 😂 my adhd smells companionship lmao
As someone who's sewn stretch for over 30 years, you did a great job on that deep purple dress. It's gorgeous and really suits you. If the sleeve dropping really bothers you you can sew bra loops into the shoulder seam. I have sloping shoulders so I have to do this for a few of my dresses. Saves me constantly doing a salute to my shoulder.
Bra loops are awesome! I had a gorgeous velvet bodysuit for a long time that needed bra loops. Best hack I ver did for my clothes.
Yes! Bra loops (sometimes called lingerie straps) are a great thing to have in any garment with a wider neckline. As long as your bra straps stay put, your shoulder seams will to. (The only trick is remembering to undo the snaps on the straps/loops before you take the garment off, especially if it's something that you pull off over your head)
I was a tailor, Did a 3 year apprenticeship and worked as one for years, before I immigrated to Canada and changed my career. So I know how to sew, but I love watching you and you give me ideas I never thought off. You are funny and talented. Keep it up 👍🏻
you sew like I cook. no recipe, just a list of suggested ingredients according to taste and cook it till it smells "right". bravo
I vote for a tahini shortbread recipe tutorial. I absolutely adore tahini and shortbread. Sounds like a winner to me.
I have to admit, I had no confidence as you went to do that knit dress because I just thought that knit looked awfully floppy and stretchy. I still think it was kind of floppy and stretchy, but the dress came out, so Flippin cute and looks so good on you and that color of purple is amazing. it’s like the best purple.
Finally, please extend my compliments to your mother-in-law hs the fabric that she brought home for you is really beautiful. I love how that dress turned out it’s got all the swish one could want.
Yes but also what you can substitute for the tahini… cuz deadly sesame allergies lol
@@BumblingBee-xm4dy I think any kind of nut or seed butter. Just plain shortbread is a treat, too!
@@BumblingBee-xm4dyoh nooooo! I can’t imagine life without sesame. I hope you can find a workaround!
@@BumblingBee-xm4dy I looked up good substitutes and apparently sunflower butter can be used. The website I checked stated that the sunflower butter should be 3/4 or 1/1 of the amount as the tahini measurement when using it for cooking. The depends on how thick it is. Cashew butter is also an option since it's more neutral-tasting and has similar cooking applications as tahini. It can be used in the same amounts as tahini when cooking.
Apparently sesame is the 9th most common food allergy among adults and children. I just thought this little bit of trivia was interesting lol.
I absolutely love that you don’t use patterns!! Watching your videos have made me much for confident to just go and DO, instead of go and overthink and get overwhelmed.
Absolutely 💯
"I barely know what I'm doing ... I am the global ambassador of winging it and making it work." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 But you know in your heart that your instincts are sharp. I LOVE your enthusiasm and your ingenuity and your persistence.
I love how your brain works! It is easier to listen and watch how you do things because a pattern sometimes is hard to follow. I learn better by watching. I'm 62 now and finally have a place to be me, and sew with my brand new machine. My divorce present to me!
So you give me the confidence to freehand clothes and not worry too much about having people critique my methods!
Thank you for all of your energy and time to show us how to be "real" sewists!
So far, I really like the clothes I have seen you make.
The style of the purple with the insets of color suit you well. 💜
I do not sew and I do not plan on starting, yet here I sit watching this tutorial-ish and loving every minute of it while crocheting my mega turtle plush 😁
Love your videos with all their chaotic energy!
❤❤
Ditto, except a Xmas scarf instead of a turtle plush.
Yep, that's where it starts lol. Crochet and knit are the gateway into making your own clothes/accessories/other items.
I randomly have the sudden urge to make like 20 different split side dresses!
Thank you for making this seem so doable.
I find the mistakes just as helpful as the rest because it brings out details of the construction that I miss otherwise. It helps me troubleshoot my own stuff too! Your mistakes are helping my mistakes! :)
I wanted to say thank you for doing these!!! Because this got me back into sewing. I have 6 split side skirts!! And 4 kid sized ones for my daughter!!!
That's awesome!!
I love your mistake filled instructions. You show us all how, but also how to fix measurement, and other, issues along the way. Best tutorial method ever. And the end results were both lovely.
I really enjoy your videos, and I am on your side. I like drafting clothes to fit my shape. I don't see patterns matching my inner vision. At 59, I have owned so many clothes, I know what forms fit and feel good, and which ones just don't suit me. I am the same way with recipes and cooking. I'm the, "Oh, look, it asks for nutmeg, but I like cardamon in everything, lets try that!" Kind of woman.
I am coming back to sewing after over 30 years of being busy doing other things. It's exciting to rediscover sewing and having the internet to save me from a lot of mistakes
putting your measurements up is actually really helpful for me, personally. I'm a very experienced seamstress (over 25years), but I've got the same measurements as you, apart from a larger bust. I also have similar colouring to you. so I can see particular items on you, and see how it would look on me🤣
Purse pockets! The combined chaos energy from you & Rachel Maksy has inspired me to pull out my old sewing machine & get it repaired. I have a need to learn to make all of the things! And the split side trilogy (skirt, pinafore, & dress) are high on my list of things! All of which should have purse pockets! 💕💖💕
Especially after leaving of Destashify!!!
Okay, I absolutely love calling them the Split Side Trilogy! XD
The woven bodice + single tier makes a cute top! I also appreciate you fighting invisible demons with your sleeves in the knit top.
She'll take her eye out! 🤭
Thank you for including the "bloopers"! It helps a lot if we end up having similar issues - and showing how to fix them!
The purple dress is beautiful. Square neckline with the swishy sleeves is a very nice look.
This came up as I’m sitting down to make my first split side skirt after watching your videos! Perfect timing!
I like the fact that you expressed your not a professional but seeing everything that you make it looks professional I love the purple dress especially the cross area on the back and you explain everything so simply I’m a novice sewer and you make this look so easy I can’t wait to start sewing more I get a lot of tips from your videos and it’s amazing what you do and make everything look so simple
I don't really wear dresses but you always look so happy with yours it makes me want to reconsider
It's a tutorial on Fearless Winging It, which is awesome! There are a bazillion patterns out there in the world; what you give is permission to have fun, to be creative, to make mistakes and to learn in your own unique way. Thank you.
Adding the front bodice yoke was a great idea, and it is really cute.
Hehehe Finally someone who sews like I do! I'm dyslexic so patterns are my kryptonite. I love your dresses. My last project was taking 2 pairs of jeans and making a full length skirt. Gotta love a good seam ripper lol 😊 You make Beautiful dresses. Thanks for sharing ☺️
We learn much more from the mistakes we make than we ever could getting stuff right first time - and from watching other people make mistakes - so please don't apologise for showing what you did wrong, saying why, and showing us how you fixed it. I think we all love your honesty, it makes us feel better when we get it wrong and I think we all know now that the pros who "always get it perfect" have just edited out the mistakes rather than being honest about them. Both dresses are gorgeous, but the purple one is my favourite.
I'd love to see both "tutorial" types of videos, but if I was pressed to see one made first, I'd go for the Dolman style dress. The older I get, the less I want to wear pants, so this "tutorial" was excellent. 😆 Thank you. 🙂
I don't currently do any sewing (no sewing machine, and I'm not about to make a dress with a 21' hem stitched by hand!!!) but I thoroughly enjoy watching you make them. Ask Mat sometime about "corte e costura" -- it at least used to be the way seamstresses in Brazil always made clothes -- pretty much like what you do, figuring out the shapes, getting the measurements, and working without commercially produced patterns. As I understand it, there are/were classes you could take there in how to do it (not that you need one -- you're doing really well!) Where we lived there weren't a whole lot of stores selling ready-made clothes, and it was easier to get good quality handmade clothes at a reasonable price by working with a seamstress.
Oh, and by the way, I love that dress you were wearing at the beginning of the video. 😉
The Needle Woman here on YT constructs clothes in that style, just uses chalk to mark straight onto the fabric it’s inspiring and intimidating and empowering.
No matter how many times I watch this video the "did you guess? You're so good!" Always makes me giggle I just love that line and its delivery! Haha
My very favourite thing about my improvised split side skirts I've so far made is the ability to put in historical tie-on pockets with absolutely zero fuss. I live in these pockets and the skirts make it so easy
You need a Tshirt "Mistakes were made". This is something you say a lot...which I love🥰 This is authentic learning..
5:07 someday, when i have a separate room (maybe even a she-shack) for all things crafting, i will absolutely be implementing that wonderful genius’s tip about your ironing board. May God bless him or her in ALL things all the days of their life
The knit dress is so nice, the colour, the fabric and the style are perfect !
I just got a sewing machine (and already winged a skirt lol)! Your channel is helping me have the confidence to go for it and you showing all the little things that "went wrong" is soooo incredibly helpful cause I would have never thought of those work arounds for things I'll 100% "do wrong". So thank you!!
I love to hear this!
Bro sewing theory is how u make everything. Oh my gods, yes! This is exactly what I need.
Oh honey, you're talking to the woman who can bake amazing bread without a recipe, the same woman who rarely if ever follows a crochet pattern... This is perfect for me!! ❤😊❤
me when Charlie starts the video by telling me I can draft and make an cute and adjustable dress, and I already made one immediately when her last split side dress video came out and took over my brain:
You're dang right!
(I have never successfully followed a pattern, but between Charlie and Closet Historian I've made 3 nice and functional pieces of clothing in the last 6 months)
Yaaaaaaaas this is what I love to hear!!
Wow, I mean seriously wow! I can quilt & knit & crochet, but I've always struggled with sewing clothing. You are an absolute magician!!
2 minutes in and I'm grinning and happy I have an hour available right now to watch ☺
For the sleeves falling away, what I've seen in some clothes is to add a very thin ribbon (just on the ends) across the back neckline to add tension to keep the sleeves up. I don't know how well that works in knit specifically but maybe it might work as a quick fix for your needs
Yes, that might work if you anchor it in the seams on either end. You need it to have something other than the floppy knit fabric itself to attach to, so it has the right tension. The shoulder seam should do. :)
Glad I'm not the only one to have songs looping the same 8 counts in my head.
You are so funny. I love your videos...and your dresses 😂😂
I am new to your channel and let me just say I love it. I have been sewing without pattern since I was 13 years old and now I am 67 and still do . I do a drawing or looked at pictures of things I loved then made them. It’s just a God given gift . My mom and grandma had the same talent. So keep those beautiful clothes coming. Happy Sewing 🧵 ❤
I love the knit one, gorgeous.
Love your videos.
As a large woman I say (in jest), "Bold of you to assume that my back doesn't have boobs!" 😅🤣
😂
Love that you are just having fun and taking us along for the ride.
Since pockets intimidate the heck out of me and I’m quite dyslexic, a tutorial on your wonderful purse-pockets would be grand. Please consider 😊. (Love your channel ;>).
The dresses turned out super cute! I have a chunk of fabric I would like to make something with, and with my skills... An adjustable dress may be just the trick, so I wouldn't mess it up too badly. 😆
Secondly, I was looking at Thanksgiving side dishes to make for a party (Before watching this video) and the minute you quoted The Emperor's New Groove "My Spinach Puffs" I paused your video and went to Pintrest to get a recipe. Thanks for the unintentional idea/suggestion! 🥬
I vote for the dolman sleeve dress!
Once again you have me laughing with you as you 'explain' your 'method'. LOVE your approach and your successes! Keep 'em comin', sister.
I'm using the purple dress as a basis for the one I'm sewing to wear to my brother's wedding!
I have been binge watching all of your videos :D thanks for making so many informative and fun videos.
both dresses are gorgeous--so flattering! love them both! please do both videos. :)
I love your videos! You are so down to earth and fun. Even when things don't go exactly how you planned. I completely relate! I would love to see a tutorial on the Dolman sleeve, elastic waist dress, please! I would need to make a higher rounded neckline. I am a cancer survivor and had a mastectomy. Any neckline lower is a problem. It is difficult to buy clothes that fit my needs. I alter a lot of my ready made clothes, but it is sometimes tedious and actually boring. I have many patterns that i hope to sew and beautiful fabrics in my stash. Probably never will use the patterns. Wishful thinking! I haven't made a garment "from scratch" in many, many years. This style looks comfortable, easy to draft and sew for summer. Thanks! ❤
I love the way you lay out just exactly how long this took you to do. As a beginner I have this crazy idea that I should be able to do a project from start to finish (including shopping for the fabric!) in four hours and that is just unrealistic.
I watched this video at 5 am. Thanks for making me laugh this early in my day. You inspire me with every video.
Thank you for showing the mistakes you make because nine times out of ten I make the same mistakes! And I need to SEE how to work through the mistakes and rescue the project. Thank you for your cheerful guidance and inspiration.😊
I saw the long version in your shorts and clicked over to watch the tutorial. I'm actually glad this is theory and not a pattern because I don't want to make a dress. I want to make a long top... Short dress? I like long blouses, and I loved the look of the gathered bodice.
Love the chaos! One thing that you quickly learn when you start crafting that gets reinforced again, and again, and again, and again the longer you keep doing it: you WILL have to take things apart and start over. The more extravagant your projects become, the more extravagant your mistakes become! All that means is that you kept at it where a lot of people would have given up
I love your videos, Thank you so much for taking everyone on your sewing journey's. Please continue to show the mistakes and how you fix them. That's why I love your videos so much. It reminds me that mistakes are part of life, and nothing is that serious.
Ok, I love seeing the "mistakes" because I MAKE THEM TOO. And then you teach me how to FIX them and to persevere!!!
I love how you did that sleeve on the first dress it’s perfect ❤
New to your channel. Reading the video names and seeing life goals lol. I look forward to your videos and hopefully making a dress I feel good in. Thank you for being you x
The dress with Portuguese tiles! I watched this video and LOVE that fabric. And considering I live in Portugal, maybe I can find some!
OH MY GAWD you make me laugh. Love the modeling "poses" and motions. Love watching, even the mistakes. great job.
I love these videos. I keep stopping and texting my husband things that you say with "look honey! Someone elses brain works like mine!!" 😂
Oh wow, the woven fabric fits perfectly and looks fabulous. Well done. And your MIL chose gorgeous fabric for you. Beautiful.
Thanks for this! I like patterns but what I'm realizing is I really like directions (even if I end up not following them all). I've been wanting to make a dress for a while now and this is giving me the inspiration to try.
You did such a good job explaining on yt, you shouldn’t beat yourself up! Sure there were mistakes, but you owned them and that’s worth so much!
We’re also here to throw out some pointers (like adding darts or some hand-stitched gathers to the brown dress’s neckline to keep the sleeves from falling) if you need them!
They looked so lovely, I’m tempted to actually make one 🤣
Maybe collab with your sister to make patterns 😏🤔😁
I don't need it yet but I love your inspiration
Love all your shows start sew again because I see you, so inspiring
I have try the thing you cook 💞💞
For whatever reason the purple one gives such pride and prejudice vibes to me. I'm absolutely in love with it.
That first dress was amazing
Your subtitles on this video are really good, I appreciated them.
the aggressive butterfly sleeve flapping 😂
I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THIS WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT! I am so stoked to make my own. Thank you! :D
You had me at chaos!! Subscribed !!
34:14 For real though. That is what makes the tutorial good. You're not teaching us a particular technique, you're teaching us *how to successfully wing it". Making mistakes and course correcting is a CORE part of that.
A lot of content on RUclips is either aspirational (to advanced to really consider trying), or quite formal (ment to be learned in some kind of order, not necessarily helpful if you just wanna get started making projects), or hyperspecific to the project the creator is making (which you can still draw from but its unlikely to be practically applicable).
Your tutorials are more like what youd actually get at like, a community sewing class. Ie an accessible and useful project, taught by some old lady with no formal training but years of making and correcting mistakes on the fly. You fuck up and she comes and looks and goes here try this to fix it.
Like thats so much more helpful than 90% of the content on youtube for most people. Like the accessibility level of the projects but also the thought process and course correcting youre talking us through. Life hack, cut things too big then gather the difference? No formal sewing tutorial would recommend that but I sure as hell am using it. Exactly the kinda throw together knowledge granny sewing class would be giving
Late to the party, but that purple dress is especially wonderful. 💜
I love winging it too 😂 been sewing for about a year. Most things I’ve made without actual patterns
43:00 but the sound of the fabric scissors is so good 🤤
Love the knit dress! Complicated to put on, but looks super comfy!
I don't know how I missed this one but here it is 4 months later and I am finally seeing it. Anyway.... Thank you for sharing your knowledge and methods. As a sawist for my whole life I love to see others enjoying the art. Also I appreciate that you are not afraid to show your method ie where you veered left and managed to steer back to the correct lane it helps to know that you don't have to be perfect. Finished is better than perfect. Also a note on measuring yourself. Most measuring tapes have a hole on the end you can tie a string through it and put it around your toe and pull up to your waist to get an easier way to measure skirt length without having to bend over and try to see it without bending so much. (So bigger number at your waist insteas of the smaller number.
Sew In Chaos! Love your CHannel hope you get your studio back soon.
36:04 i happen to disagree with that person, this knit dress fits you perfectly and hugs in the right places… a most excellent job well done!!!
I haven't sewn since 4H in early elementary, but recently got a sewing machine passed down by a family member and am excited about trying it out again. I LOVE this concept - I've fluctuated in weight and size a lot since having babies and also love wearing dresses, so this is the dream.
Have you tried doing split side dresses with a straighter skirt? something more business casual maybe, with maybe a belt closure? My mind is buzzing!
OMG, thank you so very much!!!!!!! I love that you showed so much detail AND particularly your mistakes and how you fixed it. THAT was so inspiring because, yeah, mistakes can make you feel not so good. Seeing new ways to problem solve are just push through, love it. ❤️
I really like how both dresses turned out, but that first one is absolutely gorgeous 😍
And I love that you leave in your mistakes and how you fix them, because I know I’ll make mistakes and it’s really helpful seeing how you problem solve them 😊
Love this dress! Ilove the square neckline, and of course the twirliness of the skirt and sleeves!
Loving watching you go through the process of making your own designs. Your mind works similar to mine so it’s like watching a friend.
I love the knit dress sooo much! The subtle pattern of the knit looks amazing for the final product. I need to make one, but with 60% more work - I require lining and French seams for comfort.
Thank you for the extra info. I must say I do prefer the other videos. It’s very helpful. These dresses are beautiful
I really like the experimentation videos but i really like these too.
I came here from your short, and im so thrilled to have a project worthy of my new sewing machine. So far ive only practiced with scraps ❤
I love seeing your tutorial-ish videos since they help me get over my fear of no pattern making know how, so it helps me see and understand its easier than my brain thinks. It also makes it easier for me to figure out a way to make bodices to make dresses. I still need to start sewing some split side skirts first before I tackle a dress, that and I need more skirts in my wardrobe anyhow. First will be either my fruit salad dress from a pattern I found or a fruit salad split side skirt.
Personally I think it’s great that you make mistakes because then we can see that mistakes can be fixed and altered and everybody makes mistakes that’s how you learn and when you do your mistakes then we can see that it when we do it but we’re not the only ones who made the mistake so everyone is available it’s mistakes happen you learn from them❤
