You are fantastic! I used to use patterns all the time and I’m just getting back into it. Your video is so helpful and informative!🥰
You are so welcome!
🥰🥰Thanks 🙏🏾🙏🏾for sharing. The way I refold my patterns is to iron them and then it looks flat just like before you cut the pattern. have a wonderful, blessed day and stay safe.
Great tip! I’m always afraid the iron will ruin the pattern paper
Omg!!! Finally!! Ive seen so many tutorials and its foreign language to me!! This is absolutely the best!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🌸💕🌸💕🌸💕
You're very welcome!
using a muslin first is helpful in regards to gettting the right fit before cutting the fashion fabric. 😊
You’re absolutely right. Making mock ups for good practice runs so you don’t ruin your good fabrics
I keep a notepad to write down my pattern pieces. I’ll put a big “A” at the top, then list and number my pieces for view A. Then tuck that in with the envelope when I’m done. Writing directly on the instructions gets confusing when you want to go back and do a new look. Carefully folding and ironing the pattern pieces will get them all back into the envelope. Then store all the envelopes in a plastic sealed bin with one of those little desiccant paks that come with new items to fight off moisture. I know… I’m pretty ocd, but it helps me. 😊😊
Sounds like an awesome system to be organized! Note taken!
You are so super kind to do this breakdown.
Thank you! So glad I could help!
Thank you so much for this! You were so thorough and detailed! It’s very much appreciated 😁😁😁
You’re so welcome!
Your tutorial was very informative. Thanks for sharing.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Glad it was helpful! 🐺
This info. Is soooo needed! Thank you so much 😊
You’re welcome 🥰
I’m using a vintage (2001) McCall’s pattern, so I appreciate this video! I cut out the pattern pieces today. Thankfully I’m the largest size on the pattern, so I can just fold it to the other sizes if I need to!
So cool! I love finding old patterns. If you check out your local thrift store you can usually find some really vintage ones!
Glad I could help! Good luck with your project!
Thank you so much for your clear explanations ❤❤ truly appreciated
Your comment is truly appreciated 😍
I'm happy to have found this video on McCall's patterns.
For the first time, today, I bought a McCall's patter to make clothes for my husband's "Infant Jesus" figurine. I have to say figurine because he doesn't like me calling it a doll! LOL hehehehehe
I've never bought this brand before, so when I opened it, my eyes crossed and my nerves went wild.
I found it to be totally confusing.
Then I watch this video and now it's all so clear. It really does LOOK way more complicated that it actually is.
Thanks so much for that.
So glad I could help!
Thanks for this! I’m doing this for the first time! 😬
So exciting! Tag us on Instagram @thewolfsdendiy and show us your project!
One suggestion I have is when marking what patter pieces you need use an erasable ink pen or heat eraser pen this way if you use the pattern again you can mark another view.
Great idea!
American pie vibes ..thanks for the instructional
🥧🥰
I don't cut my pattern pieces. I use tracing paper and copy the pattern, so I can use the original again if I need a larger or smaller size.
Good point. Hope that isn’t too time consuming for you!
Thanks I liked the method for storing already cut pieces from pattern.Great idea.i thought if we are doing a regular pattern after cutting why not use Fusible interfacing to add thickness to the cut tissue and store.
That’s an interesting idea, I have not tried that.
My only hesitation would be that the ink of the pattern piece may be ruined when you iron on the interfacing.
If you try it let me know how it turns out
Maybe for small pieces that are subject to tearing, but that’s a LOT of interfacing if you’re doing a larger outfit or garment. Sewing your own clothes is already expensive as is
Patterns can be checked out at libraries. Totally free.
I didn’t know that! Thanks for the tip!
Hi there! Can you show how to make a plain circle skirt or a regular/fitted skirt ? Ive seen alot of tutorials but you seem to give better directions…
Thank you do much!! 🌸
Sure! Give me some time to work it out! Working on one for Easter right now!
Hey Disney! Check out my latest video, Easy Sew Circle Skirt! I hope this helps you, sorry it took so long 😅
@@thewolfsdenDIY thanks ill check it out!!!!!
Do these patterns have the seem allowance included or do you have to add this when cutting the fabric?
Depending on your pattern your seam allowance is calculated into your pattern piece. Your instructions for the pattern should tell you what size seam allowance to sew. If it is not listed the standard seam allowance is 5/8”
I only copy to transfer paper if the garment turns out well wrought o do make again.
Good thought
I like your video
Thanks 😊
After you cut your size can you like do same dress with another size or you have to buy another pattern??
I like to keep my patterns and just add a bigger allowance when I cut a larger size. I usually just eyeball it based on how the sizes are spaced out. And of course try on your dress as you go to see if you need to make any adjustments. But if you’re not confident in doing that you could buy a 2nd copy of the pattern.
Another option is to sew a mock up of the adjusted pattern on some scrap or muslin fabric to double a check your measurements.
Let me know if that makes sense or if you have any questions
Try ironing the folds as you go and it gets pretty flat
Thanks for the tip 😊
What does right side of pattern and wrong side pattern mean to me. I see it on the fabric cutting layouts please explain. Thank you
Hey Vera!
The right side of the fabric/pattern is the side that is meant to be seen, or face out on the project. On the tissue pattern piece the writing would be “correct”.
Where the wrong side the pattern of the fabric or writing on the pattern piece would be backwards.
Check out my sewing vocab video here. I have some examples for you!
Hope this helps

I could buy one of type of clothing but what store should I buy it from
You can get sewing patterns from most sewing and crafting stores. Stores that I go to here in the US are Jo Anne Fabrics, Hobby Lobby, Michael’s, and even Walmart. You can also sometimes find patterns and fabrics at your local thrift stores if you know how to look! ☺️
Do you have video where you sewing these pieces together?
I do! Check out my recent Sew Along video:

@@thewolfsdenDIY plz
Do you like butterick b6026 or b6028?
They appear to be the same pattern to me, only b6028 looks like it includes the pants as well. If your a beginner I suggest starting with just the top first. You can buy the pattern with both pieces to save money and try the bottoms later
@@thewolfsdenDIY one is the top and the other is the pants.
@@snaps2758 ah I see, personally I would rather sew the top than the bottom. That is just what I would have more fun making and wearing later
Help with McCall pattern 7177
There are 3 versions of this pattern, which one are you making?
How can I help?
Wow - this is so risky, especially for beginners (which I still class myself as). I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS trace the pattern as I make different sizes of ths same pattern which you can't do with your message.
That is correct, and a good practice. This is just my preference as I usually only use one size, if not I make the appropriate adjustments based on measurements and fitting the garment to a manikin or the person
Can i asked you something

I noticed that you cut the pattern based on one size, I mean you ruined it, what if you want to use the pattern for another size cut.
Is there another method to cut the fabric for a specific size without cutting the pattern?!
Yes there is. If you want to keep all the sizes intact on the tissue just simply cut out the largest size. Then when applying them to your fabric to cut pieces for your project you can use tailors chalk to draw out our pattern for the appropriate size.
It just adds another step to the process. A second option is to copy the pattern onto tracing paper before cutting.
Another option if your budget allows is to have multiple copies of the pattern
Normally you would not cut the pattern but copy it to transfer paper as she said.
You are fantastic! I used to use patterns all the time and I’m just getting back into it. Your video is so helpful and informative!🥰
I’m so glad I could help! Good luck on your sewing journey
