- Do you have a favorite pair of shorts or trousers? Would you like to make a pattern from them but are not sure how to go about that?
I have a method to create a pattern from an old pair of shorts or trousers which you might find interesting. - Jak na to + styl
Excellent Video. I'm new to sewing and this video is easy to understand. Thank you from New York City.
Thank you Mel. New York is on my bucket list to visit
Your videos are so good and I've learned so much! Thanks again!
Thank you! I have a garment that I've been wanting to do this with as the company no longer makes it and I can't find substitutes of the same type that fit as well. This video will help take it from idea to reality! :)
Fantastic. Great to help. Judith
What rulers do you use? Love the bright color!
Hi Naomi. It is a Quilting Ruler fluoro in colour. You can get different sizes. I love this one because I can see underneath, so it is great when making a pattern and other stuff. Not sure where you live so not sure where you would buy one. I live in Australia. They can be purchased from most haberdashery stores. If you cant find one, I can always see if I can get some more.

Do you have a video on how to make a knit/tshirt from one you love?
Hi Cathy. I haven't got a video for that. But the same principle applies. Fold the front panel of the tee in half and cut out a new pattern from that. Make sure to mark that the center front is on the fold. Do the same with the sleeves. A much easier way is to use a very old tee that you have and sit in front of the TV and unpick it. There is a video somewhere amongst all my videos on "How to unpick seams". That shows how to unpick overlocking quickly and easily. Then once you have your pieces, you can make a tee from that. Easy peezie...
