VIDEO All the things I made in 2019

In today’s video, I’m sharing everything I made in 2019. Well, not quite everything but most of it! At first, I thought that I hadn’t made very much this year, but after I started tallying it up, I discovered that I’d easily made over 30 things. The big change in the last few years has been that I’ve been blogging less than I used to. Plus, lots of the things I made were pattern samples. 

Watch the video for all the details on what worked out and what flopped. To check out all the garments I did blog about this year, check out the links below.

Seven tips for matching plaids and stripes

As garment sewists, we often strive to have our fabric perfectly matching across a seam and it’s honestly not the easiest thing to achieve. So in today’s video, I’m sharing seven tips for how to match plaid or striped fabric while sewing. These techniques can be used for sewing shirts, dresses and even pants. For example, if you’re sewing some plaid flannel pajama pants this season, you will definitely want to check out these tips.

VIDEO Review of the Sew Ready Studio cutting table

A week or so ago, I posted a photo of my sewing room on Instagram with my relatively new cutting table in the very center. I got a few questions about the table so I decided that I would do a video review of it. I give you my thoughts and experience with the table over the last couple of months and show how easy it is to lift and collapse the “wings” aka table extensions.

So why did I JUST get a cutting table recently? Well, I’ve been cutting my fabric on the floor for years and it’s always worked fine. And in my last house, I had a dining room with a table that I’d occasionally use for cutting. When I moved to my new (smaller) place a couple of years ago, I had to give up the dining table and I’ve been cutting exclusively on the floor since then. The only problem really with cutting on the floor is that it’s hard on the body and sometimes my back will start to hurt.
