    Hey hey party people! I am using a new film editing software (Filmora) for the first time ever! I taught myself, I'm still working out the kinks, so please be kind! Make sure to check the description box, it's full of book info and links!

      Editing looks great, I love seeing examples popping up on the screen :) The audio sounds very fleeting for lack of a better word, not sure if it has to do with the software? I wonder if you adjust the levels of your audio, it seems a bit high pitched compared to your voice compared to your live streams for example. your speech is very dynamic which i love, i just wish the volume and quality would be more constant.

    • @zoehongteaches
      @zoehongteaches  4 года назад +1

      Yes, I'm not happy with the sound. I might edit the sound in Audition and add the audio file to Filmora afterwards. The rain did not help. Curious about how it will like my voiceover mic. Thanks for the feedback! Making the popups was fun!

      I would recommend using a canon camera for video recording it’s great for longer videos and high quality resolution maybe when you start a pattern making video it’ll be great.

    If only we had you as a professor at my college. I dreaded going to my fashion classes 😓 We would love it, if you started a whole series on pattern making.

    Just want to say thank you so much! I actually stumbled upon your vids after getting interested in sewing clothes, I have done small stuff like bags, etc.
    Also the fashion figure ones helped me improve my sketching people (I do trad and digital arts but still find it hard to get the anatomy right and clothes draping so I always do a more stylized thing).
    I now have long term project, designing my wedding dress! Will be getting married in 2024, and I want to be able to sketch it myself and choose the fabrics in a way that makes it easier as well for the sew shop to materialize exactly like how I imagine it.

    I learned essentially the same method for preparing for easing, but one row of basting stiches is on one side of the seam line, and the other row is on the OTHER side. I think this helps control unwanted pleating when you do the final stitching.

    Great information. I believe they need fit profiles for smaller sizes as well. I am a size 8/10 and have yet to find pants to fit my fuller thighs. The blocks companies use to make garments should have different blocks for waist and hips. It would give parts of the population a fighting chance to find RTW garments that fit. I have heard of some companies using the same block for every style of pants they make. That's great if the block fits, if not you are in a long wait until they move on from that block.

    • @zoehongteaches
      @zoehongteaches  2 года назад

      If you want something that will skim over your "rolls and dips", you'll want something thicker, more substantial, to fall over your curves. Specific fabric choices depends on what you're making but generally thicker is better.
