Would you like to make your own clothes? Do you find yourself lost and bewildered at the mere sight of a sewing pattern?…
Congratulations, you clicked on the right video.
In this video I go through the basics of understanding sewing patterns – from tracing, to cutting, to what all those symbols mean. This one is for all the budding sewers out there! Hopefully I can give you some of the knowledge and sewing wisdom that I’ve gained over the years.
The pattern I used is the Sienna trousers by the Pattern Preacher

I have a question: when you cut the pattern, do you need to leave some extra space for where you’re going to be sewing? if not, where do I sew it, to make the right size? because I imagine that if you sew too far from the edge the garment will be tighter… or not? Sorry, I’m just learning and I still have never sewn anything!
Okay you are just adorable. And this was so helpful. I think maybe I will try sewing!
I loved this video thanks for the info.

Love how the pants came out! I feel so much more confident watching this video (:
