Thank you so much !! Found this I did remove out yayaya !!! 😭😭🙌🏻🙌🏻🥹🥹
Are they washable & if so, how?
THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME 🙏🙏 I DID NOT WANT TO GET RID OF MY 70 DOLLAR JEANS 😓
What if I wanna tighten / reduce the waist size to fit better? Can I just add a button at the right waist size?
I need to know what happens next
This might be a silly question, but somehow the length of the back edge of the gusset looks longer than the back piece edge where they should connect. I don't think I traced the pattern wrong but it's like 3/8" difference
How do you make it a lot stiffer so it's not so flimsy?
Thanks for the lesson! Learned a few more things. 🤓
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
I sewed this pant at sewing class. The boot leg pattern. Love it. I used stretch imitation jeans material though, because I’m between sizes and it worked just fine.
I'm so glad you enjoyed sewing Dawn in your class! I love that you tried using a stretch fabric with Dawn - that must have resulted in a very comfy pair of jeans! Hope you are enjoying wearing them as much as you enjoyed making them!
i wish i could salvage the buttons
This was very helpful! Thank you ❤
Thank you!
I'm an old-school pattern user. Thank you for this useful tutorial about pdf patterns! Very helpful!!
You are so welcome Linda i'm really glad you found it helpful! Happy sewing!
Very good video! Thank you
Please don't use my furniture to pound into my wood.
Hello Megan - from Tassie! Wonderful tutorial - I am so happy, and now enjoying being a subscriber to your channel. So well done, down to earth and natural. Thank you.
This is the best video I have ever seen yet for a SIMPLE way to make a braided RUG! THANK YOU!
I signed up for your newsletter to get the FREE pattern and I DID NOT get it!!!!
Sorry to hear that happened! We've noticed some issues with gmail users not receiving emails lately so am trying to sort that out. Feel free to send me an email at hello@megannielsen.com and i'll get you sorted :)
Will the old one be ruined or can I reuse it
Hi Maisie! Unfortunately no you won't be able to reuse it, this will break the old button. You'll need to buy a new one to reattach :) Good luck!
Me looking at the gusset pinning: WITCHCRAFT
hehe that's my favourite detail too :)
do you need a special sewing machine for this? mine doesn't seem to do the zigzag wide enough ever so I have to hand sew them.
Would thie wire work for adults?
Absolutely! This flower crown is adjustable and can be worn by anyone. The crown made in this video is one i made for myself :)
Hi Megan. I found lady on Etsy scamming people with your pattern and altering the pattern into baby bodysuit. She’s using your pictures that you posted on your website. Would be nice if you can report her. I will send you email if I can find on your website and send you and the images. I got scammed by her thinking it’s original baby pattern. 😢😢 I bought your pattern to see what she copied from you and what she didn’t. It would be nice if you can reply on my comment. Have a wonderful day.
When i started cutting out her patterns something didn’t add up so i google the images that she added to sewing instructions that’s how i found your website with same images on your website. I Emailed you please check your E-mail.
Very helpful, thank you!
Great tutorial! Thank you!
This looks so pretty, thank you.
Love this tutorial ❤ Thank you!!
So glad you found it helpful! xo
Nice instructions well explained and demonstrsted. I will be trying out these tips. ❤
Love this! Thank you so much for the tutorial!
Thank you for the terrific video!
You are so welcome! So glad you found it helpful :)
I love to do this with corduroy!
My button would not separate and the back just got stripped by repeated attempts.
Wow
Lovely, thank u for make it easy for everyone who love this type of art❤
Totally agree with you about Gilmore Girls
But what if the rod on the screw keeps bending to the side? I've had this happen with three of them ;-;
Hey Megan, I have an Elna 3003, do you know what year that came out? I think it might be 1981, but not sure. I bought it second hand but still learning to set it up!
Thank you for your free resources, I really appreciate it. What's the shipping fee indicated, are these digital or printed? Because if they are printed, my country is in the middle of nowhere, shipping fee would be millions🥹 thank you again❤
Hi! These are digital so there is no shipping fee :)
That’s fantastic. Will it work in principle, making a square rug for our campervan? Xx
Thank you so much - I wanted to change the color and you showed me how easy it is 🤗
Thank you, what if the button hole is not in good shape? I bought some used jeans and it seems like the button went through the hole, leaving a hole way too big. Should I just put a patch inside so that the button has something to attach to?
Hi Lola! That is a frustrating situation! My strategy would be to do as you described - adding an interfaced patch to the inside to strengthen the waistband and provide something for the new button to attach to. Good luck!
Growing up, we were too poor to own a sewing machine so we stitched the rug together by hand. That was tough!!
If someone doesn't have a sewing machine, can the braids be hand sewn together fairly easily? Also, do you have a video on how to make the rug more elongated (oval shaped)?
I have a related but very specific question. I want to make a set of buttons for a pair of jeans I am having made to measure. I want to make the buttons out of silver. I'm a bench jeweler so forming the metal isn't a problem, but I don't know what winds up holding the front and back together. You mention a plastic part. Is that located in the shaft in the front piece? My initial thought to just make silver fronts compatible with standard backs. Any guidance you can provide would be most welcome. Thanks for the video.
I’m studying❤ 😊
Oh shoot, I must have cut my pockets wrong
Why did the center raise up when I did this?
Thank you! So well done!!
Awesome thanks ❤😊
Hi! Question, does removing the button damage the button? In wondering if 8 can preserve it for other jeans
