I love the instructional videos, especially for the tricky techniques. It would be even better if a lighter fabric was used for the video demonstrations - for example when you're showing how the butterfly seam is pinned and the camera is not up close, the dark fabric makes it difficult to see the detail.
I am still learning; however, I am more confused after watching the video on the crotch seam than I was before! Very confusing!!
Out of interest, why has Gertie stopped doing the actual sewing parts of the videos?
Thank you for sewing for us Kristen!
Another wonderful video! I’ve learned so much! So excited to make these pants. I also love all of Elvira’s cameo appearances…actually, in this video she was more of a costar!
Agreed, learn SO much from the videos. They have really taken my sewing to another level. Thank you Gertie and team
I also love the videos. I don’t always have the opportunity to make all the patterns, however I learn so much just by watching.
Another great video from the charm team. I always learn so much. I love the patterns but the videos give me new skills and confidence to take my garment making to the next level. Thanks team Gertie.
