In the midst of my fashion mayham I'm helping my friend Nate learn more about the construction of garments. All of his questions have got me thinking about the information that I have had trouble finding. If I could make all that info readily available it would make me happy but there is only so much time in a day. So I'm wondering what tutorials would be the most use to others.
I could do one on how to copy your favorite jeans,
How to copy and sew flat felled seams,
Shirt detailing back vents/facing/fancy cuffs,
Drafting and sewing button plackets on the center front or cuff,
Real flies (not Mock Flies) on pants,
Sewing and patterning seams that are an arc joined to a strait line,
At home seam taping for raincoat and dry bags,
Or anything else that you want that I know how to do. So leave a comment, vote, and I'll try to do two tutorials in May.

You know my total hatred of sewing curves to straight lines....maybe if you do a tutorial on it, it'll diminish my long held mental block.
I'd also be interested in the tutorial on seam taping. I took that raincoat class with Susanna ages ago but I've forgotten a lot of it, but still have a dream of making a biking raincoat coverall suit after Dior's 60's flight attendant uniform....
Thanks Carly!
I'd really enjoy a tutorial on copying a garment...not jeans necessarily, but I have a jacket I adore and occasionally find an interesting blouse that fits well and flatters me but is only available in black or white. As a plus-size woman I have to carefully treasure everything I manage to find that makes me feel and look great.
I would be more than happy to. Odd sizing makes it seem especially difficult to find good garments. I think copying your favorite stuff is a great way around this. As soon as my show is over I will put something together.
Thanks for the input
