  • Actually if you can do decimal points, you just need to know the conversion from fractions to decimal point. I work at a fabric counter and we have to use the decimal point since our calculator doesn't do fractions.

    1/8 = .125

    1/4 = .25

    1/3 = .33

    3/8 =.375

    1/2= .5

    5/8 = .625

    2/3=.66

    3/4 = .75

    7/8 = .875

  • @Earendilgrey Thanks for the conversions! I am a bit of a traditionalist and like to know how to do things without a calculators help. My sewing teacher was a stickler about knowing fractions. I guess it rubbed off a bit.

  • your top's from rebecca turbow, right?

  • @Asnov Yup! I love that shirt. Soooo comfy.

  • How do you multiply fractions? lol I completely forget! I can add no problem, but I am completely bereft of any real math skills. lol

  • @YostBride11 There is a website called webmath(dot)com. That will help!

  • hi m trying to sew this but iam new at sewing and dnt even have machine so i am using hand sew so i can gft it....but when i tried transferring pattern using tracing wheel it didnt worked. i had to transfer all markings again m going to make some alteration as side zip and side split.. can you give me some tip how to sew invisible zipper with hand...sorry for so many troubles, i liked your videos as they are very detailed n simple

  • i ve learned a tip: if the seam line of the front part is little longer than the back part (BF plus 1 cm) the skirt would stand MUCH better.

  • how would i go about adding side seam pockets to the pattern?

  • You have inspired me! Thanks so much. -Desperate Dress Designer Dummy
