    Thank you so much for this video, these reminders are very welcome and useful. I've been sewing for over 15 years and yet still need and value being reminded of basics. As you rightly say, it's the little details that bring one's work up to a higher standard. I'm constantly amazed at the generosity in the sewing community to share both tips and tricks and supplies too!

    What a delight it was to watch your video! Thank you so very much. Fine needlework finishes appear to have died out even in items that one would expect to be lined, or hand sewn hems. I will always remember those special items that I bought that were fully lined, or very fine woollen slacks from a suit that were lined to just below the knees, while the jacket was so beautifully lined with hand finishes. I actually had a rather large splurge on that shopping trip, but I'll never forget how wonderful I felt each time I wore an item that I'd purchased on that shopping trip. It blows my mind when I meet married ladies with children who neither own an iron, let alone know how use one. I now need carers to assist me with almost everything I need to do just for everyday living tasks, so after showing a delightful Carer how to cut out the fabric for some curtains, when I asked her to just tack a seam for me, she looked at me with a totally blank and confused face. She then asked me what is a tack? I think that she thought it was a metal tack with a short sharp end. lol. I then attempted to describe how to do it for her, and then I looked onto CZcams so that she could see that better. It really is so sad to realise that these skills are being lost in today's throw away society, or perhaps I should say, a modern mindset. Although I now have tremors that make it impossible to even cut paper, let alone fabric, and I can't even draw a line on a piece of paper let alone trace out a pattern. This makes trying to hand sew the hem on a garment makes me think how difficult and painful it must be for porcupines to make love. At least I have the best treatment to remove spots of blood as I sew .... my own saliva. It really is the best solution that is always on hand. :)
    Thank you once again for your delightful video... so I'm now off now to enjoy some more of them! Cheers from Australia... and one who adored visiting your beautiful country several years ago. I particularly adored the Palace of Versailles.... and those magnificent gardens are forever imprinted on my memory! :)

    Love all your tips. Sometimes I take zippers and buttons off of old throw away or damaged clothing. Recycle sleeves of sweaters for leg warmers a fun project to sew for beginners., or use sleeves from sweatshirts etc to put on your arms as you clean or paint. I use packing paper to trace patterns onto it from the nasty thin tissue paper they give you. This way they last longer.roll up patterns onto old cardboard rolls from wrapping paper and attach pattern picture envelope to it as folding patterns makes tears eventually. I roll up fabric as well for storage as folding breaks down fibers. Chanel suits are all hand sewn so yes hand sewing is key to learn first as some do t have machines. Learn to French seam.yes I agree with you finishes are important .

    I’ve been sewing since I was 11 made a maxi coat lined at 14. Granny taught me. I’ve learned never to pull the fabric Altho it looks like we do in videos and live just guide fabric never pull it. Press press press with an iron.I used tissue paper under a fragile fabric such as organza veil like chiffon to sew so it doesn’t catch underneath into the feed dogs. Then you can carefully tear it off.

      Hello ! I have a fitted sheet tutorial on my channel. I recommand following the instructions and adding the elastic all around instead of just the 4 corners. Also you can add strings to tie it on the back. I am afraid I have never had to sew for an electric bed. Hope that helps 🙏 happy sewing.

      Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏🌸 In English the only book I know for draping is by Connie Crawford ( amzn.to/2xAZi7d ). It doesn’t come in cheap and it only has a few short pages on tracing and draping the sleeves but I find them useful. Also the rest of the book is amazing, you will learn so much about draping. And yes I will do videos on the subject 😉🌸✂️

    Honestly I do practice all of these guidelines, and with pride. What I cannot handle and don't know when it is mandatory, is top stitching. It also scares me. Presently, I am working on a blouse, made with self drafted bodice. My collar, collar stand, sleeves, the fit, are awesome but the top stitching, if attempted, might make a mess. Including the seam allowance, there are actually 4 layers to top stitch. I'm scared. Any suggestions?

    • @RomyStanZakStudio
      @RomyStanZakStudio  Před 2 lety +1

      Top stitching is not mandatory but it truly adds a layer of refinement. Also, technically it is done to really fix garment pieces in place and give them the perfect finish. Like a ‘permanent ironing’ if you will. I highly recommend practicing it on scraps with the same amount of layers you have in your real garment. and if you are scared, there is a special presser for topstitching, which I find amazing, especially for beginners. Hope that helps 🌸🍃✂️
