I am a person with interested in sewing & fashion. I am always thinking about the wasted materials... Whenever I crossed the tailor shops I felt bad..that wasted materials also bought for money..these thoughts push me up to learn sewing. afterwards i improved my talent to do fashionable dresses for my daughter.. I always mentioned to use the leftover materials to use small pouch, handbag, little girls dress, small accessories...for my students. Now that experience took me to the next level.. Here I'm going to share my experience to all of u through these tutorials.

    Very useful tutorial. Am loving as a beginner. However, I would like to add a note that, when I stitched gathering pant using same measurements, it is loose from hips to knee. From knee to ankle it’s perfect. So what should be done? Measurements are
    Full length 37, hip 41,knee round 16,calf round 14,bottom round 12, waist to knee 20.
    Please correct me in leaving ease. Also, I want proper fitted pants and comfy one.
