So I suggested she try the following method next time as it’s much easier than turning tubes after stitching the seam.

Not to blow my own horn, but I often receive wonderful emails from customers who are either thrilled that they have finally learnt how to sew, excited to have rediscovered their love of sewing through making doll clothes, or just so happy that they don’t have to try and understand complicated instructions and diagrams because they can just follow along with my videos. BUT I’ve never received an email like this one……
