I would also add that the grainline matters because it changes the way the fabric moves and flexes. With a woven fabric, cutting on the grainline makes the fabric stiffer, and gives more form and structure. Cutting diagonally to the grain gives the fabric flex and elasticity. If you have a loose weave fabric cutting some pieces on the grain and others not will also result in visible changes in the way the fabric looks as well as how it hangs. Before synthetic fabrics and elastics, cutting diagonally to the grain was used to achieve elasticity and form fitting in close cut clothing.
my ears perked up at that too but then she did mention certain fabrics it DID matter. I just wish I had watched this before cutting my pattern pieces last night. Nothing huge just need to draw the notches now. Glad I did not cut them out of the fabric!
I would be ever so grateful if you did a sew-along with the cut out pieces - I've found the first two videos sooooo informative and educational!!! Thank you so much for your time and effort - you have really helped me (I'm completely new to the world of sewing)!!!
Just a note to say that the selvage edge is not the raw edge that is cut (widthways). It is the manufacturer’s edge that runs along the length of the fabric bolt. 🙂
I just started sewing at the age of 28! Lol I can’t stand tutorials that aren’t clear and straight to the point. Yours was EXTREMELY HELPFUL and I love the tips/tricks you gave! Just subscribed! 💗
Not that I have ever seen unfortunately. ☹️ but do let me know if you find some! Regular tracing paper runs pretty cheaply though for as low as $7 for a sheet and you can also buy it by the roll at your fabric stores. I usually use a pencil or marker with it
Hi, Great video! I was just wondering that if i wanted 2 layers of the 'cut on fold' piece, would i have to cut out that piece twice? Since the others aren't on the fold they are automatically double layered (when the fabric is folded in half) but cutting on the fold results in 1 piece.
Correct. If you want more than one piece cut on a gold you will have to cut another separately or fold your fabric so that it is folded twice. This can be tricky and depending on if you fabric is too thick it may be hard to cut. Be sure to double check your regular pieces that are not on the fold. Since they result in 2 separate piece, check if the pattern says “cut 1” or “cut 2” You will need to double it if you are double layering. Instead of double layering you could look at what you chose as your lining fabric as well
I should know this, but I've been away from someone for about two decades. Do you put the right sides together for the wrong size together when cutting out pattern pieces? I see that you have your fabric wrong side together so I wanted to make sure that was correct.
I would lay your pattern piece on the right side of your fabric when cutting. With this fabric the right vs wrong side didn’t matter too much to me since they were practically identical
Always sew with Right sides together unless otherwise told in your sewing patterns. This particular fabric did not have a right or wrong side so it did not matter in the end. Hope this helps!
@@thewolfsdenDIY I learned so much today watching this video would love for you to explain the McCalls pattern showing in more detail cutting line sizes and info on the pattern pc what each symble means so needed on a Mc pattern no one has done this thank you so much.
To do that I would cut the pattern out of the original tissue paper and copy it over onto your cardboard. If you are a crafty person you could glue the pattern onto the cardboard and then apply a sealer such as “ModPodge” to protect it
Thank you for your feed back. As you may see this is one of my older videos. I encourage you to watch one that is more recent and provide new feedback and let me know if it is any better for you

I was cutting out my very first pattern and had to stop because I didnt know what I was doing. This answered all my questions! Thank youuuuu!
So glad I could help!
Thank you, Thank you!!! That was the best refresher video. I haven't sewn anything from a pattern in years.
You are so welcome!

Thank you! I’ll be uploading a new video soon with the correct definition
A great video for first timers like me, thank you x

this was really helpful! Would love to see the sew together of the project - thankyou x
Glad to help!

Thank you sooooo much for this video!
You are “sew” welcome 😊🧵🪡
I like your video Nanette
Thank you ❤️
@@thewolfsdenDIY you are welcome
For beginners. Do they still sell the carbon tracing paper instead of the chalk or marker.
Not that I have ever seen unfortunately. ☹️ but do let me know if you find some!

terrific tutorial 😆
Thank you 🩷

Thankyou so much for taking time to respond! This was very helpful and i'm much less confused now.
Of course! Happy to help! Happy sewing!
Good stuff! Subbed! 👌🏽
Awesome! Thank you!

Have you ever made simplicity 2345
I have not, which piece are you trying to make?

I’ll have to add this to my list of things to try!
Please do a sew along video, thank you.
Coming your way shortly 😉

How can transfer my pattern to cardboard
To do that I would cut the pattern out of the original tissue paper and copy it over onto your cardboard. If you are a crafty person you could glue the pattern onto the cardboard and then apply a sealer such as “ModPodge” to protect it
Im bew i know this is old but i prefer little less music or no music. .. music duribg tge non tslking parts would have been fine
Thank you for your feed back. I encourage you to watch one of the newer videos for better quality. I edit all my own videos and am always learning
The music is annoying
