10 Boden Looks to Recreate: And the Fabric and Love Notions Patterns to do it!

[@marlenep2644]

Oh this was fun! Pairing the fabric along with the pattern is so helpful. A lot of work and time went into this. And as others have said, lipstick is never off topic! 🤣

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I really like doing these types of videos!

[@suek7086]

Thank you so much Whitney. I own all these patterns but haven’t made them yet. Now I have wonderful inspiration. Having fabric suggestions really helps. Thanks for your hard work.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good!

[@cherylantros2144]

Loved your ideas and pattern/fabric matches.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m so glad!

[@jeannestark2434]

Whitney, I love all the looks you picked that you compared and can't wait to pick up my patterns from Love Notions. By the way I received my Wawack catalog today in the mail and several videos ago you told us that you would be on the cover, and low and behold there you are!! How exciting to see you on the cover in that wonderful green dress and the interview on building a community of sewer. I was very impressed. Thank you and take care and be safe.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you! The Wawak cover was so much fun to do!

[@ginnyrivera2786]

Thank you for the fabric recommendations. I’m new enough to apparel sewing that fabrics are a hit or miss, and I can’t afford to miss.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good! I hoped that would be helpful!

[@scottiehall8695]

Wow, you're on the cover of Wawak catalog! Congrats!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you! It was so fun to do!

[@janetlink9756]

The all linen look with stripe top and glasando pants has a kathryn hepburn look. Very nice. Love your fabric color combination for the blazer and tank, beautiful

[@TomKatStitchery]

It totally has a Katherine Hepburn feeling - so classic and chic!

[@MarthaHW]

Lipstick is never off-topic. Hee hee. I LOVE that color on you.

[@TomKatStitchery]

😂 thank you! I love getting new lipstick in the mail!

[@lindaaubertin139]

Love your enthusiasm about fashion and fabric! I always look forward to your posts.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you!

[@lilybogaards5089]

Loads of inspiration! And some very intriguing fabrics/makes in the background 😉💕

[@TomKatStitchery]

Sneaky, sneaky 😉. Those will all be up soon!

[@k3of5ks]

Thank you Whitney for all of the time and research that goes into these videos. Your pairings are perfect. I have so many LN patterns that i still haven’t made. My go to over and over are Rhapsody dress (sleeveless for AZ summers) and Allegro shorts in which I have a whole linen collection. I’m thinking a pair of Allegro pants in linen with gathered ankles might be in order. Thanks again!!!❤️🌵🇺🇸

[@TomKatStitchery]

The Allegros are on my “must sew” list for this summer. I think I need a pair in every color of linen as well!

[@katielulu18]

The striped blue/white top could be pieced and be very cute. I think your "looks to recreate" are my favorites!

[@TomKatStitchery]

That would totally work! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!

[@valclements7092]

Hi Whitney, love your interpretation of garment inspiration to patterns. Thanks for making it easier for me to go and just do it. Going down the Love Notions rabbit hole. Have a great day. Val ❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I apologize for any pattern enabling!

[@dianemorrall2687]

Great ideas. Thank-you. I love the Rhapsody as well but I think I would have chosen the Vivace Dolman for the last style. Always good to get the mind thinking like this.

[@TomKatStitchery]

❤️❤️❤️

[@ladylouise1969]

Great vid-pattern and fabric suggestions!! I especially loved the navy slacks and the Navy and white striped blouse!! Thank you!! Have a great Thursday!! :+)

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@shaunaferguson6102]

This video was awesome!! Love the pairing with the fabrics too, so helpful for this beginner! I totally need that first outfit! 💚

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m so glad that was helpful to add in the fabrics!

[@norakathleenbertoglio4414]

Inspiring ideas! Love the creamy white blouse on you!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you!

[@kathywilliams1050]

Thank you for sharing so many useful ideas. Now onto the Love Notions site....

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m so glad it was helpful!

[@tufornumberone]

What a great video. So many ideas to get from this. Thank you.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good!

[@MsLau124]

loved this post. I missed the Forte pattern on the sale by literally hours! Time zones messed me up living in the Southern Hemisphere! will have to wait for the October sale!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Definitely! That pattern is so lovely!

[@ceceliaharris5660]

Bought the Forte dress through your site, made it up and loooove it, bought 4 more knit fabrics today for more Forte dresses and tops! Plus I can’t wait to make the bell sleeve version for fall. Thanks for the inspo!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good! Keira from Island Sewcialist made up the bell sleeve view and it looked AMAZING!

[@debbiehaynes8295]

WHITNEY!!! I just got my Wawak catalog in the mail and see your STUNNING picture on the front cover! That's so awesome! Congratulations!!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you! It was so much fun to do!

[@SamanthaLlanos]

Oh my goodness, I love when you do these videos! I already have almost all the Love Notions patterns and of course I went back and bought a few more after this inspo video of yours! I'm a beginner sewist too, so the fabric matching was super helpful! Really appreciate all the work you do on these videos! :)

[@TomKatStitchery]

It’s my pleasure! I’m so glad the added fabrics helped!

[@nancynewman6592]

Great video, love all the looks, and how you matched them up :)

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good!

[@glendavizecky7581]

I love the Rhapsody top and Forte top is one of my favorite! I think the last tunic top is like the Vivace too. Love Notions patterns are wonderful! Thanks for more inspiration!

[@kelleyking]

That tunic is a dead ringer for the Vivace top.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I was going back and forth between the Vivace and the Rhapsody for the last top. I think it would be a great mashup between the two!

[@lindavictor8250]

The last top could also be the Vivace top. I do love the Rhapsody though...it's my favorite top!

[@janewaite4317]

Actually this would be a better match than the rhapsody.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I was going back and forth between the Rhapsody and the Vivace for that last top. The neckline is spot on, but I think the Vivace needs a fabric with more drape than the linen so I went with the Rhapsody. It would be so fun to mash the two patterns together!

[@miriamcihal8409]

Wow! Thanks so much for all the inspiration! I love seeing these RTW/pattern combos. So much fun. Btw your blouse looks fantastic! Can’t wait to see the module.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you! I can’t wait to tell you guys all about my new tops!

[@reyofsunshine20-20]

Fabulous ideas! Thank you! I thought I had gone through and picked all the LN patterns that I wanted yesterday. Well, needless to say, I’m going back and adding a few more that I didn’t know I needed. Love the combinations that you put together, it has really sparked my imagination and creativity. I’m so excited to get sewing.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m so glad (and sorry for the pattern enabling 😬)!

[@chrischevalier1980]

OMG I WANT ALL OF THEM. I just ordered my patterns then watched your video and went back and ordered two more after seeing your inspiration looks. Your are the QUEEN of sew the look. Love Love 💕 Love you

[@TomKatStitchery]

😂 awww! I’m so glad you love these videos! I really love putting these together!

[@thebebejebus]

Love the lippy! Such a classic.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you! I was testing the color online so I was glad it worked out 😂.

[@helenv2906]

That was fantastic, love these type of video. It helps me to get my sewing mono. Btw...love this lipstick on you, great colour. Thanks for everything you do and share. 😘😘👍

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!

[@wendythomson8382]

Absolutely loved this video! Thank you so much 😊 I have so many of the Love Notions patterns but will definitely be ordering a few more based on your recommendations 😁 We’re heading into winter now in South Africa but I’ll be saving these to make for summer xx

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good!

[@lizhumble9953]

I like the lipstick! I noticed it right off. It looks great with the classic white button up.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you!

[@laurelh2426]

Awesome video! I love the pattern and fabric suggestions for the RTW looks. Very helpful!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@deniseblake6214]

Have just bought the Rhapsody in the sale! Great to see so many others in more details, especially with fabric suggestions. Love Notions patterns are so good .... love the lipstick 😊

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good! The Rhapsody is one of my favorite patterns!

[@MomShots]

First off, LOVE the lipstick color on you! Such a great color with your skin tone and hair color. Second, I love your comments about how the patterns accentuate and/or flatter different areas of your figure. Your issues are so similar to mine and so I really appreciate those thoughts. I am totally going to try the Love and Notions wide leg pants pattern and the dolman sleeve shirt patterns. Thanks for such a great video!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@sparkleinco2035]

Very inspiring. Even thought I have many love notions patterns you gave me new ideas for them. Also I found 2 more that I should invest in

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good!

[@marynimocks6791]

Lipstick is totally great! Makes your teeth look bright white and your hair gleam!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Wow! Thank you! I’ll be wearing this a ton more!

[@cherylp.3347]

Great video, I love these. Such fun. I know they must be very time consuming, thanks so much. The fabric store here in nz has great, good quality fabrics. Oh and love notions has fantastic patterns - great instructions, great fit.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m so glad you like these. They are a bit more work, but I really have fun with them!

[@leannsews]

I really like Love Notions patterns. This is a great source of ideas. I'm definitely going to be shopping. 😁

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@lisagoldring2838]

Great video! I love that you also picked the fabrics for us. It's like having a personal shopper! But wait! Did you say Monty sew-a-long? I've been waiting for that! I made the Monty shirt, and just faked my way through it. I'll be glad to see your recommendation on how to make it work. Love your channel!!!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I did! Style Arc gave me the go ahead to do sew alongs with their patterns! I’ll start with the Monty as soon as the current one is over.

[@libbymcculla1619]

Thank you-love this video-off now to buy some more patterns .

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m so glad!

[@gloriaallender1886]

I love the lipstick! Also order the polka dot fabric from Minerva. Thanks for all the inspiration!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you!

[@Northandsouthsewing]

That was a great video!!! Loved everything about it. The choices you choose to recreate. That’s you used all Love Notions and the fabric options was phenomenal!!! If I was at home or going to be there in the near f uture I’d be picking these up. As it is, I will look for your next inspiration video. (I did save this one though, so who knows...)

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@rachellynncreates2703]

Sooooo glad I saw this! I was about to purchase patterns but now I’ll go through your link.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@susanc1179]

This was a great video! Loved the outfits.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@christinemartin9449]

Hi from England. I have watched this out of order and so glad that I have, it has given me so much inspiration. Thank you so much for doing these videos.

[@TomKatStitchery]

It’s my pleasure! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@sewhappysarahr8912]

I have made 4 Glissando skirts, love that pattern. I wish LN would add zipper placket instructions in the pattern, that hack always slows me down. The Metra blazer is AMAZING and really fairly easy! This video was great, I made notes and need to order some fabric!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I want to make that skirt pattern so badly! It’s on my summer list!

[@aimeekluiber]

This is my life every spring...My sister gets the Boden catalogue and sends me photos of all the items she wants me to copy for her! They do have great classic but modern styles. (Their models are all so incredibly skinny, though. Hard to tell how things will look on other builds)...

[@TomKatStitchery]

😂 my sister (and daughter) do the same thing!

[@louisestevens5267]

Thank you for your expertise

[@TomKatStitchery]

My pleasure!

[@chrischevalier1980]

Just went back and bought the Tabitha top, found an inspiration look on Pinterest making it in an oatmeal French terry with eyelet lace.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I saw that one! It’s gorgeous and perfect for the Tabitha!

[@lisashoemaker2781]

Love you in a white button-down!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thanks, mom! I just made that one!

[@girlsinthegardensews6112]

Love this video! Also, there does my budget!!! Lol. Thanks so much

[@TomKatStitchery]

😂 my pleasure! I love doing these types of videos!

[@bethanyharry6716]

Hi! Just got the new wawack catalog yesterday! And you’re on the cover,!!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I am! It was a fun perfect to work on!

[@cecilehoare3053]

If you used the Bella Donna for the white and blue striped shirt but only found the narrow strip blue, you could get plain white in the same cotton jersey and splice the fabric across the yoke, an added feature !

[@TomKatStitchery]

That would work perfectly!

[@marlenep2644]

I was thinking that same thing!

[@judyhansen6237]

Thank you for this! You’re amazing!! 😍

[@TomKatStitchery]

It’s my pleasure! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@pamici1]

This is eye-opening, thank you!

[@TomKatStitchery]

My pleasure!

[@sharonnemecek2645]

Good morning, question for you. On melody dolman can you make sleeves a little longer and bigger. I don't like my arms they're a little large.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I think you could make the sleeves a bit longer and you could definitely add a bit of width to make them roomier as well!

[@lynettedaniels1236]

I think that lipstick is really beautiful on you. I love MAC lipstick also. Have you tried classic red? It looks like old Hollywood to me. This is a fabulous video. So inspirational. I loved every idea you mentioned. Thank you!!!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you! I haven’t tried the Classic red yet. I did just get a liquid one from MAC that’s a bit more true red and I love it as well. I just love a bold lip!

[@brendapena2328]

Love everything!!!!!!!!!You have a lot of patterns. How do you organize them after you finish sewing ? Do you use a printing service and then trace over then using pattern paper? I don’t know why but I am feeling overwhelmed with so much paper lol

[@TomKatStitchery]

I totally get it! I either tape them together or have them printed out. I usually just cut my PDF patterns because I don’t change sizes very much. Once they are cut, I store them in a filing cabinet inside manila envelopes with the company and pattern name written on the outside.

[@brendapena2328]

@@TomKatStitchery great thank you for the filing cabinet idea!

[@AnnettePetavy]

Such a fun video, thank you!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@sandy_sews]

I love Rhapsody blouse too (you introduced me to it 😁) but I really think a better match to the last shirt would be the Vivace shirt.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I went back and forth with the two patterns. The issue is that the Vivace needs fabric with more drape than a linen. However, you could possibly mash the two patterns together for a perfect match!

[@cindyking3304]

Beautiful!!!!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you!

[@mncustom-made-barblafond6825]

Congrats seen you were on the cover of the Wawak supply catalog!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you! That was fun to do!

[@sandypetersen6329]

Loved this video and the pairing of pattern with RTW styles. The rainbow striped linen link is for the rhapsody shirt, not the fabric.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oops! Thanh you! I’ll go update that!

[@jolynnwhite7946]

Thank y love the Loren look 🌷👌🏾🏳️‍🌈🧕🏿💕🤓😇😍🦹🏾‍♂️

[@TomKatStitchery]

[@Annsews]

Love the red lipstick. What is it? It looks good on you 👍

[@Annsews]

Ok. I guess, I comment too quickly 😁. Got it!

[@TomKatStitchery]

😂 thank you!

[@nicolegooding7724]

The neckline of that last top reminds me of the LN Vivace. A hack of that neckline on the LN Rhapsody would be a terrific dup of the Boden top.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I was actually going back and forth between those two patterns for that look. You are right that it would be fun to mash them together!

[@SaunWhee]

The first way you said it was correct...MODAL pronounced Mo- dal, Al like Al Green the singer. Anywho, love your videos! You're so knowledgeable 😊

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good! I hate pronouncing things wrong!

[@BlessingGaia]

Whitney, Did you find any fitting issues with the Glissando pants?

[@TomKatStitchery]

I made them during testing and had some extra room in my hips, but that was it and I know she made some changes after that.

[@limelake5953]

Hi Whitney...I have a question regarding the how the affiliate link works. Do I need to follow the affiliate link for each pattern? Or will the commission apply to you for all patterns I buy as long as I come e in using one of your links. I would like to ensure you get the credits you deserve. Thank you

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m pretty sure once you’re on the site through one link it all counts. Thank you for using them!

[@farmwife7944]

I’m ordering the Rhapsody Blouse and Dress pattern.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good! The Rhapsody is one of my favorite patterns!

[@delaynenielsen4413]

Guess who I saw on the front of the May 2021 Wawak catalog?

[@TomKatStitchery]

😂 it’s been a bit surreal!

[@evalucilledixon3879]

If you look at Retail Sales, in comparison, you are rich if you sew, ladies. Am I right?, Whitney? A simple cotton blouse can be $150 or more ON Sale. I saw a lovely crochet top $5,500. You can crochet. We can knit. We are!, ya! In my case, my mother taught me to sew at age 14. I am growing my skills with everything I make. Thanks to good patterns, we will be ready for any way we walk. ~ L

You allergic to that necklace you are all broken out and red....

I noticed that in editing. I have very sensitive skin and I think I just scratched myself before filming.
