      I am with you on this. I crashed and burned with the many other vids I followed but this one really works for me (newbie). I did go with the the 1.5" marked corners instead of the 1" as recommended by @tracystoutbehunin9303 as it made it much easier to finish. Great vid and great recommendations. Now on to the napkin projects that have been piling up. So fun!

    Hi, I actually was looking at your baby gown pattern which I am making now. I did have some questions, though. The gowns are really sweet and thank you for them! However, as I watch the instructions online and start to put together the gown, I notice that the seam allowances and widths of the placket and cute collar seem to be wider than I can get by following the measurements for cutting these straight pieces. My placket is a bit narrow and I did cut the collar a little wider, though it could still be wider yet! Also, if you fold over the collar over the seam, you lose some width, too. The photos just look like more fabric and so forth has been allowed. Anyway, I was just wondering. My little gown will turn out sweet and I will probably try another. Any thoughts? Thank you!

    @normbutler22 Před 5 měsíci

    this was a good easy way to do this. I’ve been looking at videos like this but they go so fast with matching up various ends and sides and started from the beginning without laying it out first, I wasn’t able to follow along. This explains and shows pretty much what your outcome (should be) before you start sewing. Thank You for it. Can you explain how to add triangle pieces to this square?

  • @bernadettemelle8115
    @bernadettemelle8115 Před 5 měsíci

    do You know what would be great with these videos, if in the beginning or even in the end, you put a chart up with the sizes. It’s very well instructed video, but now we have to go back and look at sizes again.

  • @aneessiddiqee1051
    @aneessiddiqee1051 Před 8 měsíci

    I likw your pattern. However, you say you had but the stabilizer for the outside pocket at 6X14 but you actually had cut it at 7X12. My bag is wider and shorter than the one yiou make.

    • @sandramesser8363
      @sandramesser8363 Před 3 měsíci

      I noticed that too. She said cut 6x14 stabilizer, yet after pocket is made and she places it on top of a 12w x 14L . So the stabilizer is actually 12w x 6L. Otherwise the original 6 x 14 would be too long width wise. My 1st bag came out shorter and wider than shown. So I rewatched video again, and it is supposed to be 12w x 14L, but it's not stated anywhere. That's OK, i can make the bag either size, just need to pay closer attention.
