How to draft and sew these 1-hour SHORTS-CULOTTES! Super easy and detailed drafting tutorial!

Dear Sewing Friends, in this video I would love to share with You how I draft these super easy wide leg short/culottes for summer. Now, this is such a versatile item in your wardrobe as you can make these to wear out OR make these to wear at home as PJ shorts! Possibilities are endless when it comes to pockets as well, you can choose to do side seam pockets or patch pockets as well! I truly hope that this tutorial helps you and that you make something beautiful. All extra links will be below: How to sew EASY pants - Side seam pockets - How to hem these shorts (I would go with double fold hem) - How to draft and sew leggings - HOW TO become a MEMBER of this channel to get access to Instruction Sheets, Extra Videos for Members Only and small templates for mini projects - READ FIRST TILL THE END. Thank you! PLEASE NOTE: these are not patterns for clothes and garments, these are instruction sheets. Step-by-step written instruction on how I drafted this or that project, so that you can follow along. The templates are ONLY for the small projects, like a basket, or coaster, or towel wrap and etc. I have also created sewing reference sheets and practice sheets, as well as sketches that you can use and some small scale garment parts that you can use to practice “slash and spread“ techniques and dart manipulations. Instruction sheets are focused on the drafting process and less on the sewing sequence as that is shown in the video. Sewing steps can be sometimes written out, and sometimes referenced back to the original video. Additional Members Extra videos go into fabric selection, extra tips and tricks, best practices and some additional ideas from me. I try to prioritize Members comments, especially if there is a question. I try to post EARLY ACCESS videos for Members, meaning those are videos that you can watch earlier than anyone else and without ads :) Every week I post Members ONLY sneak peeks. We also have Members Only FB group for sharing project pictures and inspiration. I am not a teacher and this is not a course or a program. THERE ARE 3 WAYS YOU CAN JOIN: 1) Click on the JOIN button next to SUBSCRIBE button (if you’re Apple use you won’t see it) 2) Go to my channel page (click on my channel name) and click JOIN on the banner 3) Link below WHAT TO DO: 1) new window with Membership trailer will pop-up (IF you DON’T see a pop up, 3 things are going on: you need to update your internet browser, check the pop-up blocker on your web browser and disable it or if you’re an Apple user you might not see it as well) 2) this pop-up window will tell you all the perks and price 3) Youtube takes care of the payment. I do not process, nor I can see the payment info or any other specific information regarding that, if you have a question regarding payment processing - please kindly reach out to to Youtube Help Desk. 5) If you watch from Apple (Ipad and etc) - Membership display is limited, meaning you still get all the perks, but you won’t see the Membership tab after you join. Read below how to access the perks. 6) Once you have joined - head over to the MEMBERSHIP tab on my channel homepage to get the links to all of your perks! You will need to click on green “click to show perks“ and the list will open up. ALSO - head to the Community tab to see latest Members Only Sneak Peek and additional info - Apple users, here you will find Members Extra videos posted. Click on any of the Members Extra videos and go the info box to that video - all Members Perks are listed there. Yay! :) IF you clicked on the Google DRIVE link and all you see is 4 folders but you can’t open them or you open them and they are empty (usually happens to Apple users) then you most likely have to clean your cache or enable some functions on your Ipad. Everything is working, all things are available - I am not tricking you. You just need to google for possible answers and see why google drive isn’t displayed correctly on your device, it does not happen to every Ipad, but unfortunately I can’t help you more as I am not an Ipad user. I have asked my friend to double check it for me - and Google Drive opens up smooth on her Ipad. ALL MEMBERS PERKS are also posted underneath EVERY Members Extra video :) HERE’S A LINK TO JOIN - Thank you for joining from the bottom of my heart! Thank You for being here and I hope that this channel encourages you to sew and make beautiful things! xxx, Alisa
