Hi! I just started sewing recently, and one of my first beginner's mistake was to buy a pattern to large for myself! (I'm a sewing size 6-8 and I bought the 18-24 pattern). I was so excited to sew my dress that I cut the pattern before realizing my mistake! Good thing I have not cut the fabric yet. Do you have any tips of how to reduce the pattern size? The pattern I'm talking about is the simplicity 2373 (pattern A). Thank you so much and I really enjoy your videos! -Mari Haughey
I'm Whitney and I have been creating and posting Whitney Sews videos here on youTube for 7+ years. It is my goal to create DIY projects that anyone can make, no matter their skill level. I also love to share haul videos along with some snippets of my life here in Oklahoma with my husband, our two kids, and two dachshunds. We are nerds and we know it so you're likely to see some costumes and hear some dorky references once in a while. I hope you will check out some of my videos and subscribe so you don't miss any in the future.
Happy Sewing!
