Thank you! I feel 100% more confident and excited about using the patterns I purchased. This was the perfect amount of information for a beginner sewer who is using a sewing pattern for the first time (me).

Thank you for unraveling the mystery of deciphering a pattern and providing all the helpful tips for marking and pinning etc. I know I will watch this again before i take on my first clothing project to further absorb all the great information provided

I had no idea what to do with the patterns I bought and there was a lot of vocabulary in them that I didn't understand, but this helped me enough to be able to get started!
