Here is the link to the sewing patterns for the BASE collection:

The Mai Ardour BASE collection consists of a range of simple sewing patterns that can be combined to create the dress of your dreams. The collection has a comfortable and flattering silhouette, designed to fit your bust, accentuate your waist, and drape over your hips. With various necklines, straps, and skirts to choose from, combined with your choice of fabric(s) and hemming technique(s), you can easily create your own custom top, skirt, or dress.

I would love to see how to select fabrics for different styles, which sewing feet to use for stretchy vs lace vs silky vs velvet (for example), and how to make slits in the skirt :) I’m looking forward to the pattern tailoring! Thank you for all your efforts!!!

I have zero experience on sewing or making clothes, I'm SHOCKED at how easy you made it seem. I mean the patterns always scare me but you made it the simplest way possible! Thank you SO much!

We love a girl that don’t gatekeep skills, we need more entrepreneurs like you💕✨

Can confirm, made the graduation dress that was posted a year ago and it was my first time sewing but i absolutely adore it!

[naomig]

Omg. This is the jackpot. When I dreamed of making my own dresses, this is exactly what I visualized. Plus you are absolutely gorgeous!!! I'm so inspired

[OurLevel]

hey guys! I wanted to make a super in depth tutorial covering just the basics (printing and assembling patterns, cutting the fabric, sewing the pieces together, choosing the right stitch etc) so my videos don't have to be repetitive, and I can focus on more interesting or intricate designs in future tutorials! Hope you like it :)
Also sorry about the iffy audio quality - I need to figure out how to use a mic lol

[leilarose]

You could make tops with longer sleeves or off shoulder! Since it's getting colder. Or long skirts

[kyraluss]

I would love to see a sleeve option ♥️ these are beautiful!!

[institches]

This video is amazing! So comprehensive, and yet clear.

I'd love a top base that is high collared and sleeveless! And maybe also one with long sleeves.

I have zero experience in sewing and have always wanted to start but found it intimidating. You’re such a queen for this. Thank you.

[Aaakeith]

So eager for the video on different hemming methods! I’m obsessed with your patterns 😍

[mayahansenn]

I was wondering if you could maybe make a more in depth video on the wine red dress? I absolutely adore it and would love to see how to adjust to get the same length as that one🥰

[sidgrim]

I just bought one of you patterns and started on it yesterday and was so sad you didn’t have anymore

[vanessarose]

please make an in depth tutorial on the first dress with the cream base and black flower details! so pretty!

[onion]

Thank you so much for this! I want to start sewing but it’s kinda difficult to find patterns that suit my style. These top/skirt combos work perfectly, though. I love the ivory-colored satin dress you showed at the end. It would be super cool if you could make a tutorial / base for that dress, too!

[lara_xy]

they look stunning! And after watching, I am surprisingly confident that I can actually make them!

[CulinaryGuide]

I love this!!! A slinky romper would be a great addition.

[nitinghagare]

Definitely going to try and Stitch one for my Girlfriend!! Thank you so much for the video, You Are Amazing!!

[Aurykyasmr]

Could you please do a video specifically on maxi skirts/ long skirts ✨

[NotMyShow]

I can’t wait to get started. These are classically beautiful, and so simple! Thanks for providing everything we need!
