Anita, first of all thank you for not having music in the background. Im so happy for finding you, I am a quilter, and that is all, no other sewing skills and I want to be able to make garments, and now with your sew along is just perfect for me. Please continue with sew along.
Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. I’ve been sewing for 50 years and thought this would be slow for me. I loved it and even learned a few things. Thanks
Oh Martha, thank you so much. It really makes my heart smile to hear this because it took me a while to learn how to work the cameras and get the lighting right. I'm still getting better with each recording. I really appreciate your comment.
I'm watching this a year and half after you made the video. I was amazed at how you dressed it up. The T-shirt was always great looking- but when you paired it with the long skirt, it looked elegant. The very next photo was with you wearing shorts and it looked great there as well. You did really well! Great style, great instructions.
Ha! This was the first comment I saw and had to laugh (silently) because it's 4am here. I just bought a serger and have been obsessed with videos. I have never sewn any clothes but this is going to be my first t-shirt. I feel liked I lucked out finding Anita.
Thank you so much for thorough excellent tutorials. I am finally feeling like I could actually sew knits. Have you done a pair of pants explaining how to adjust the crotch section? On me, that area always has a bit of a bag in the rear making it look sloppy.
Anita. Beautiful you, beautiful job, and beautiful shirt. I learned so much. I love your teaching style, production, and how you carefully explain everything, including stitch lengths and widths. It is so helpful.. I have a Baby Loc machine and serger, so it is great for me to see them in action. Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial.
Oh my Gosh, I love,love love this t-shirt...I have been following you for about 2 years now, and I am learning all the time. God Bless you and Keep Shining.
I have avoided with knits because I always had a problem. I can’t wait to try your methods. LOVE the way you finish the hems with stretch fusible interfacing. That tip alone makes this an A+ video. Then the ruching…oh my. That was awesome as well. Thank you for a well-produced video. I believe that anyone could sew a great garment with your methods, enthusiam and encouragement. Bless you for honoring God. Your countenance radiates the blessings He has granted you and through you. ❤
Got cut off.it was great.you are a wonderful teacher.I have been sewing for 74 years.Been sewing and quilting.take many classes.Very easy to follow you.I am going to use your method and can’t wait to take more of your classes.will check out your site.Just loved it.
Your smile alone lights up the world. Thank God for you. You have truly inspired me to move things back out the way to get to sewing, but this time more or myself. I use to teach basic sewing and sewed for others way more than myself.
I'm SOOO glad I found YOUR channel. Rarely do I like T shirts sold in stores. After watching this, I'm soo excited that I'm going to start making my own! I find most women don't like crew neck shirts. I'm altering one to a square neckline. Love the ruching too!
Hi Lynette! I'm so glad you found the channel tool Glad to hear that you enjoyed the video. Have fun making your t-shirt. Come back and visit me again.
Thank you... You inspire me to get back into sewing the way I use to... I use to make all of my clothes in the 90’s and I could buy a size 12 pattern and it would fit perfectly but now the pattern sizes are very different so I need a class on how to measure so I can get the right size pattern especially pants... I need a good pant pattern
You are a life saver! I have not started sewing just yet but I sit and watch your tutorials just to get a clear understanding of what I am suppose to do. Thank you sista for you skills, patience, and desire to help others like myself. You are truly a God send. Much Blessings!
Hello Ms. Anita, I want to thank you for posting these instructional videos. I want to learn to sew and your videos are so clear and easy to follow, very helpful. Thank you again for sharing your gifts . Peace and blessings 🙏🏾
You are the answer to a prayer. I have a young neighbor who wants to learn to sew and with you doing a lot of the work, I can help her learn. I sew very well but have reached a point where I have trouble remembering what to tell her that she must learn. You do a wonderful job of that and I get left with answering questions and telling her how wonderful her sewing looks. May God bless you for the work you are doing.
Oh Susan, you just blessed my heart this morning. I love that you are helping your neighbor learn to sew, and even more excited that I get to be part of her journey. Bless your beautiful heart. She will treasure her time with you forever. God bless you too, sister.
I have known her since she was three and she's like an extra grandchild to me. I treasure her and my time with her. I tell her she keeps me young because I have grown great-grandchildren and they have to live their own lives.
Hello Anita! I am an advanced crocheter/ avid sewer. While searching for a totally different subject... I stumbled upon your channel by Pure accident. And what a surprise you were to me! I totally forgot what I was even looking for, lol. I am so blown away by you! I've watched a lot of your videos in the short time that I have been a subscriber. The first few I watched I learned quite a bit about you. About your trials and tribulations from a couple years ago and how you're dealing with it. It is very apparent that you are living in your design! May God continue to bless you and watch over you! In the meantime I'm going to make this t-shirt LOL! Much love to you and your family 💕💞💕 Keep on keeping on girl! 💪
Ooohhh, Susan! Thank you so much. You just made my heart smile. I'm so glad you ran across my channel and are enjoying the videos. I'm really happy to have you here. Have fun making your t-shirt. God bless you too, my sister. 💕
I love your work & I'm a fan! You sew very neat & professional! You have taught me how to take my time & sew very neatly. Love how you styled the top. Please do more vids. I'd like to see more sheath dresses, as well as casual & dressy tops. Thank you.
Oh thank you for sharing and showing how much you love life and sewing. God shines in you. You give me hope and I see a huge improvement in my sewing from watching you . I am so glad you are back. I love how you show all details. That is my only way to learn. God has blessed me and with his guidance from the holy spirit I am able to grow and let others see Christ in me. I now belong to a sewing group ,have taken sewing lessons ,bought a better sewing machine.: A Vibrant Baby Lock . I am working toward a Baby Lock serger .Alto I do have a brother serger which I use and love. Thank you for all you do and most of all your living for Christ.
Hi Mary! You make me smile while reading your comment. Love all the fun you're having with your sewing. Just want to make sure you know that the Vibrant is a serger. You mentioned you bought it and also want to buy a serger. Not sure if I read that correctly.
You are one of the few whom answers. Yes I want a Baby Lock serger and I bought a Jubilant baby lock sewing machine. I do have a Brother serger . I just made a pair of wide leg pants and I love them. You told me to practice with either Muslin or another fabric before I cut my main fabric. It works. I am such a happy person. Thank you again for your blessings you gave today . You give me confidence.
Just darling - both the shirt and you! You're going to be my new best friend in my new world of serging and clothes-making. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos!
Anita, I love your channel. I love how you explain things. I was 56 when I learned to sew. I tried in my teens and hated it. So at 56, I got a babylock and the journey began. Predominantly I make quilts but have made a few clothing, easy items. I am going to try again with Rayon fabric. Thank you for what you do! We love and appreciate you. Coral, Texas
I would love to see you have a sewing program. I believe that the lost of Nancy Zieman left a void but I know God is directing your path and if that's what he has for you it will happen. Your videos are excellent. Again I've been sewing for 30+ years but I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. 💕💕💕
Loving your channel, which I only recently came across. I'm a very visual learner so your camera placement and detailed instructions are just excellent ! Thank you for the effort you put into these videos. Best wishes from Hampshire, Great Britain x
Thank you so much for pointing out the camera placement. I'm learning how to do this on my own and that's one thing I really wanted to nail. When I watch videos, I want to see exactly what is being demonstrated. Therefore, I wanted to provide what I look for in other videos. Thank you for watching in Great Britain.
Anita - I recently found your channel and you are an amazing teacher. I plan to binge watch all of your videos over the next few weeks. Thank you so much for sharing with your audience. SO appreciated! So glad to have found you! xoxoxo
Thank you so much, Anita! I just ordered the pattern and the twin needle too. I don’t have a serger or cover stitch machine but have the Baby Lock Soprano like yours and am hoping to purchase a combo one in the future. I’ve been looking at the Acclaim and the Triumph by Baby Lock. You are an incredible teacher! You’re so inspiring and creative. ❤️
Yaaayyy! Have fun sewing your t-shirt, Sharon. I love my Soprano so much. Any machine Baby Lock produces is amazing, so we can't go wrong with any of them.
I love, love, love your sewing videos! I have learned so much. Thank you for making everything so easy and that is because you explain EVERY little step! I also LOVE your style!!! You look FANTASTIC! I agree with Tanya G, God is guiding your path. Keep those videos coming!
I have to say I love watching you sew garments the detail are on point thank you again for helping me reclaim what I use to enjoy doing. There is nothing that is more satisfying then showing off your beautiful outfits.
Hi, Anita, I’m Really glad that you are in a place to start giving us education.again and I’m so glad that you took time for yourself. I appreciate that you shared how difficult it was for you to give away your husbands clothes. That took lots of courage. I applauded that you are redecorating your sewing room. That too takes courage. I personally am glad to have met you on RUclips. I have lots of suggestions for garments. I have been afraid of knit fabrics and want to learn and practice with them. For me and my granddaughter. I too have very old patterns from high school and my twenties. Whenever you want suggestions, I’ll be here to give you mine. I just want to learn more about garments. I’ve sewn since high school, but never had formal education. Well, currently I’m making masks for folks and want to sprinkle in something a little different now. Let us know what we might be doing soon. I’m so very glad to know you. Would love to meet you!!🤗💕😊🤷♀️. Do you have a Facebook page. We could hook up there to meet. Nice chatting...take care, see ya soon...Carol
Hi Anita, I just discovered your videos and think you are amazing!!! I have a quilting background and am now venturing into sewing my own clothes. You make it seem so easy and fun! I really admire you for your strength and courage during your trials. You are a very strong and beautiful woman. You are a true inspiration for us all! God is good! I look forward to watching many more videos and learning from you in the future.
Hi Penny! Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm very happy to have you join me here. How exciting that you're venturing into garment sewing. Yaaay! Well, I wish you much success as you begin your journey. Enjoy the process.
Awesome Juanita! It blows my mind that so many people with years of experience are watching my videos. Just proves the point that we are always learning from each other. No matter how much we think we know, there are always little nuggets of information that can help us improve our craft. Thank you for your feedback.
I have never thought to use a twin needle for attaching elastic. Love the neckline on the tee and the rouching is super cute. Love how you model the clothes!
Anita good to see you back creating and inspiring us sewers. The videos are great and very clear. Please continue I'm learning a lot from you and thank you I know you must put an awful lot of work into these videos I just want you to know I appreciate the work you're doing. Take care
Oh Tracy, thank you so much for your feedback. Yes, it does take a lot of work and time. As long as I know others are learning and being encouraged, I will continue. It's good to be back.
You are really blessing people with your talent. Between you and Brittany Jones, my girls in sewing camp are learning so much. I have a free sewing camp for at risk youth and these free videos are a blessing from God. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, Eileen! Bless your beautiful heart for what you're doing for the young ladies in the camp. I love sewing and to know that I can be part of helping young people learn a craft they can use in so many ways is absolutely worth all the time that it takes to produce this type of content. I really appreciate you for this feedback. Makes my heart smile so BIG!!! Tell the girls I said HELLO, and that thy are so precious in God's eyes. Tell them that everything they learn, in every area of life, is building the foundation from which they will launch into a bright future. You are a gift to them Eileen. God bless you.
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos, although I've been sewing for quite some time, your tips and tricks, like using the seam tape for stabilizing knits is helping me. I also enjoy the soft tone and clear instructions. Please keep it up!
I just found your channel and subscribed. From the beginning you got my attention with your bright eyes and smile. I needed this lesson because stretch fabric I always stayed away from. Very helpful, I think I'll try it. At the end of tutorial, I was also very excited that you gave out God attention and recognition! Thank you! Now ice got to go and do some binge watching your channel!

This was such an enjoyable time. You went slow so I could follow exactly what you were doing. I think I can make a very nice t-shirt.
I love it, Anita. You are such a positive person!
Thank you so much.
I am enjoying watching your videos. Thank you for being so positive and cheerful. I love the detail you show.

It's always good to do things yourself
So glad you are back. Love the top and I will now make it.
I'm glad to be back Lena. Have fun making your top.
I have been sewing for decades,but have learned so much from just this one episode. Thank you for such insight. I’ll be following.

Oh, thank you so much, Vicky
I really enjoyed watching your video. You give very clear and easy to follow instructions. Thank you for being such a great teacher.

Thank you for what you do! We love and appreciate you. Coral, Texas
Thank you Coral! I have great respect for you as a quilter. It takes a lot of patience to create a quilt.
I would love to see you have a sewing program. I believe that the lost of Nancy Zieman left a void but I know God is directing your path and if that's what he has for you it will happen. Your videos are excellent. Again I've been sewing for 30+ years but I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. 💕💕💕
Oh Tanya! Thank you so much sew sister. Whew! That's a HUGE compliment.

Hi, Anita, I’m Really glad that you are in a place to start giving us education.again and I’m so glad that you took time for yourself. I appreciate that you shared how difficult it was for you to give away your husbands clothes. That took lots of courage. I applauded that you are redecorating your sewing room. That too takes courage. I personally am glad to have met you on RUclips. I have lots of suggestions for garments. I have been afraid of knit fabrics and want to learn and practice with them. For me and my granddaughter. I too have very old patterns from high school and my twenties. Whenever you want suggestions, I’ll be here to give you mine. I just want to learn more about garments. I’ve sewn since high school, but never had formal education. Well, currently I’m making masks for folks and want to sprinkle in something a little different now. Let us know what we might be doing soon. I’m so very glad to know you. Would love to meet you!!🤗💕😊🤷♀️. Do you have a Facebook page. We could hook up there to meet. Nice chatting...take care, see ya soon...Carol
Hi Carol. Thank you for being here. Yes, you will find me on Facebook as Anita by Design. Hope to meet you one day too.
Hi Anita, I just discovered your videos and think you are amazing!!! I have a quilting background and am now venturing into sewing my own clothes. You make it seem so easy and fun! I really admire you for your strength and courage during your trials. You are a very strong and beautiful woman. You are a true inspiration for us all! God is good! I look forward to watching many more videos and learning from you in the future.
Hi Penny! Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm very happy to have you join me here. How exciting that you're venturing into garment sewing. Yaaay! Well, I wish you much success as you begin your journey. Enjoy the process.
This is the best sewing video I have seen. Thank goodness I found your RUclips channel.
Oh Wow! Thank you Cherie!
I love your videos! I've been sewing for 50 years and I've learned so many tips just watching your videos. Please keep them coming!
Awesome Juanita! It blows my mind that so many people with years of experience are watching my videos. Just proves the point that we are always learning from each other. No matter how much we think we know, there are always little nuggets of information that can help us improve our craft. Thank you for your feedback.
Love the simplicity of your lessons and I would love to see more!
Thank you so much!
Anita you're an inspiration from God! I always love to watch your videos tutorials! What a great teacher you are ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Bring it on girl 💃
Hey Patricia! Thank you so much for watching.
Thank you for these instructions. You definitely speak my language. And even your nail polish matched your fabric!
I have never thought to use a twin needle for attaching elastic. Love the neckline on the tee and the rouching is super cute. Love how you model the clothes!
Thank you! 😊
Amen sister! You have made sewing with a pattern so much easier :) God Bless you!
Laura Shutter God bless you too Laura 💕

Oh Tracy, thank you so much for your feedback. Yes, it does take a lot of work and time. As long as I know others are learning and being encouraged, I will continue. It's good to be back.
You are really blessing people with your talent. Between you and Brittany Jones, my girls in sewing camp are learning so much. I have a free sewing camp for at risk youth and these free videos are a blessing from God. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, Eileen! Bless your beautiful heart for what you're doing for the young ladies in the camp. I love sewing and to know that I can be part of helping young people learn a craft they can use in so many ways is absolutely worth all the time that it takes to produce this type of content. I really appreciate you for this feedback. Makes my heart smile so BIG!!! Tell the girls I said HELLO, and that thy are so precious in God's eyes. Tell them that everything they learn, in every area of life, is building the foundation from which they will launch into a bright future. You are a gift to them Eileen. God bless you.
I am so glad I found your channel. I love the sew with me step by step.

Thank you so much for your wonderful videos, although I've been sewing for quite some time, your tips and tricks, like using the seam tape for stabilizing knits is helping me. I also enjoy the soft tone and clear instructions. Please keep it up!
Awesome Stephanie! Thank you so much!
I just found your channel and subscribed. From the beginning you got my attention with your bright eyes and smile. I needed this lesson because stretch fabric I always stayed away from. Very helpful, I think I'll try it. At the end of tutorial, I was also very excited that you gave out God attention and recognition! Thank you! Now ice got to go and do some binge watching your channel!
