When you get the settings right for a particular fabric, make a little sample piece and write the setting numbers on it to save. The next time you are using a similar weight/type of fabric, you can sort through your samples to find a good place to start.
Wow great tip! Thank you
That is so smart! Thank you for that suggestion!
really cool idea!
Ive been doing this with my serger too im so glad to see you use a serger for a project its hard to find projects with them
Great tip! Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
i love this! maybe u could make a series where u make basics or clothes that are more for everyday wear? 😊
Yasss I plan on making this a new series! 💗
I would love that :)
Lmao this is my everyday wear😂
Yesss!!!
And for men too
This is so cute! It looks like something Kim Kardashian would sell for like $500.
Kimono, or should I say skims?
LOL TRUE!!!!! HEHE
Tip for your waist band, take a small scrap of fabric and sew the two ends of elastic butted up against each other and to the fabric. It will create a smoother waistband.
It’s like I’ve seen this and know this but I keep overlapping it cus of habit! Lol! Thanks for the reminder
I do wide hand stitch to hold both ends together then do a zigzag stitch.
The short is just perfect also to put under a summer dress or a skirt !
so true!
Thank you for your videis
My girls are older adults and they still wear short soft capris under sundresses. I think it is a smart idea to start when girls are toddlers. .
Yay, something I can sew that will fit MY body type. Thank You . I see where I made my mistakes in late weeks shirts. Thank You again!
Yesss I was just thinking this. I have no thigh gap so hot summers + dresses = heat rash in very uncomfortable places :/ Definitely giving these shorts a try!
Would love to see a series on under wear i.e. different kinds of bras, panties, socks, etc
YES PLEASE! HIGH RISE UNDIESSS
ThatsOckwrd I second this. I can never find good high waisted underwear that aren’t super overpriced. And don’t get me started on bras.
Oh my goodness yess, bralets 😍
Bralettes!!! Please!
And how to modify patterns for large chests!! I basically can’t find any bralettes that are under $50 in my size anymore.
such a great idea to go back to basic/daily wear clothes that we end up wearing more than others, recently got some stretchy fabric & I’m excited to see what I come up with😍
Yes!! I feel the same way. Have fun creating :)
coolirpa thank you 🤗
I really love this. I mean I'm addicted to thrifted transformations as well but this is a great addition, esp for those of us who can't go out thrifting very often due to disability.
Also make you some matching socks and your look would be better than Yezzy’s lol
April: you need to make a line girl!!! Omg I love this set! And thanks for the tip on the raglan sleeves like my dumbass would have sewn the shoulders first and then attach the sleeves 🤣🤣🤣. I swear your sleeve tutorials look so easy and it’s like you’re literally doing it in one minute or less lol. *sigh* now I am forced to go and buy fabric even though I don’t need any right now 🤷🏽♀️🤣
Aww thank you love!!! Yass sewing the sleeves that way is so easy haha especially if you're just making a tshirt :)
coolirpa I’m always amazed with your sleeves lol. I need more practice (can’t seem to get them to fit around my biceps well and the armholes is still tricky for me). I’m about to take a sleeve pattern and alter it to my size for a jacket I’m about to make. Want it to be puff sleeves so I hope I get it right lol
I make shorts from thrifted men’s t-shirts for my girls using a one piece pattern. Place the bottom hem of pattern on the bottom hem of T-shirt , and no need to hem the shorts!
loved this! I've been clothing myself since Jan this year, when I decided to ban myself from bying clothes and rather make all.of.them myself. t-shirts and leggings were already solidly in my repertuar, but the past 6 months have included lot's of learning with sewing braletters, no-wire bra's, underwear and skirts! excited to learn more about sewing a wardrobe and basics!!
I so regret it when i saw that sewing machine at a thrift shop and didn’t bought it or even ask for the price huhu my hands are itching to sew something
I hope you get a machine! you won't regret it :D
I'd wear that too. Comfy clothes is my lifestyle:)
SAME haha
You make me think designing my own clothes is possible with the right kind of guidance and necessary tools. 😊 Love this video. I’m huge about tunic tees. They always look nicer on me than most other tops.
You're really good at making patterns out of your clothes. You make it look so easy. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime.
I love your crazy / more out there dresses, but this is such a good idea!
I love making those too! But definitely need more that I can wear daily lol
Yeah, but we need more basics😉
@@coolirpa yess, I always sew these fancy or nice blouses, but have nowhere to wear them to😅😂
A good way to calculate Neck bands is to do 80% of total measurements of neck opening on stretch fabric 👍🏻
Love these basics! You make the raglan sleeves look easy so I’m going to have to give this a try. Please make more of this type of tutorials. Thanks!
It honestly was so easy! I wanna make more for myself :)
I was feeling sad today and nothing else I've watched had helped - until you. I love these so much.
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing
Looks amazing!!!
Would you ever make a tutorial on what you do with your scrap fabric, or even fabric slivers that are too tiny to do anything with?
Affectionately known as "cabbage" 😂 bernadette banner did a whole video where she used it to wrap gifts haha
Annika Victoria has a few videos on scrap fabric projects that are really cute and easy.
Coolirpa has a video dedicated to recycling textiles. She also has a few videos that have projects that use very little fabric :) Like Jessie B said, Annika Victoria has a few videos too that I highly recommend watching! If you love smiling, I'd also suggest subscribing haha
I think I might make a rag doll one day 🤷🏽♀️
Also check out the designer zero waste Daniel!
I have some stretchy knit fabric I didn’t know what to do with - and now I’m excited by it.
This is something I’ve been wanting to learn more of. Thanks April 😊
You're so welcome! Hope it can help :)
Yasss, Sunday project! Thrifted stretchy fabric in bright red thinking I'd love to make a comfy set for home. Thanks fo the tutorial!
I’ve decided to get back to sewing this year, and sewing is quite tiring for me due to my health, so your very clear instructions are perfect 👌🏻
I love that you're making everyday clothes too! As much as I totally loved your last video (I freaking loved it), I was like what occasions do you actually wear these?! I dont do anything fancy enough to wear such cute stuff lol
It is a treat to get new videos from you April. Loved the video as always.
I love your tutorials. I am getting confident with my sewing machine and starting to experimenting making clothes from scratch. It's so hard! Your videos are very helpful and an excellent guide. Thank you!
Easy to make and it looks very comfortable. Thanks for the video.
looks super comfy!!!
Great video, April! I love that you are gonna start making some casual clothes/lounge wear. It's coming into winter in here Australia, so I would love some new ideas for clothes I can curl up under a blanket in.
Can’t wait to make mine! Thanks April!
I really love your channel and that's the reason why I also create my channel because I love sewing and you inspired me every day .I hope I can improve my skills just like you and make other people pursue their dreams like me because you show as that nothing is impossible.

Love this vid. Could easily spin this for a fancy summer "suit" set for the pool or for mens style or whatever. Great material too! Looks sooo cozy.
This is so beautiful! You're so talented!
Love the outcome, love this video . Would love to make numerous basics simular to these .. These are such a good design n shape ... The ragland sleeves make the top extra special ❣

For neckbands, measure the opening and make the band 80% of the size of the opening :)

Hi Ms. April. I'm really a fan of yours. 😊 i just began sewing and i find your vids so cool and inspiring. Hope you make more vids. 😊 Godbless hihi ❤
Wow! Thank you
So I tried my hand at fixing sleeves for my bf because one of his shirts were gigantic on him. It wasn’t as bad as I thought but I was still super scared 😂. I think this type of shirt sleeve looks less intimidating for me though. 😁
I love the new intro!!! He did such a good job !!!!
that is so cute. I would even add some embroidery
Ive only just started learning to sew and its crazy to me how simple it is to MAKE something that would otherwise cost $30+ ....this is amazing! I cAn’t wait to get confident enough to make CLOTHES whaatttt amazing
