10 Fall RTW Looks to Recreate

[@norakathleenbertoglio4414]

Inspired now for Fall sewing!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Woo hoo!

[@rachellynncreates2703]

I don’t often wear skirts but… I have a ton of denim scraps and that is sooo cute! I could make it from leftovers.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I agree! That would be so much fun to recreate!

[@ClaireEngland1]

This is very inspirational Whitney - thank you very much. Very enjoyable 🥰

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@katrinamusgrave1167]

I absolutely love how your top turned out. It looks great on you and the tiger placement is perfect!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you so much!

[@lifesbanquet4501]

I need all the inspiration I can get! Thank you.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Me too!

[@juliahugelschaffer8053]

love the recreate RTW videos. So much inspiration.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm so glad!

[@alexalessllc.7745]

I am so glad you love doing the research for this! I like to do it but I could go down that rabbit hole for days and never get anything done! My stash is loving you!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I could totally do the same!

[@kandacek63]

I haven’t sewn a commercial pattern since I discovered Indy patterns. The Indy patterns seem to be far closer to what I need in measurements and I don’t have to make quite so many alterations.

[@ruthirwin8222]

Ive gone the other way to the big 4 ...lol

[@TomKatStitchery]

I think it probably has a lot to do with your individual body and the fit model or sloper that the company uses.

[@glendavizecky7581]

Great ideas for fall. I do prefer PDF patterns to Big 4, but you have a big audience to please. Thank you for introducing me to some new pattern companies! I'm signed up for the Friday Style podcast. Looking forward to it.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good!

[@valeriesorensen7653]

I absolutely love these videos

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm so glad!

[@judymunroe1617]

Hi Whitney--I loved your video-so fun and inspiring!! 🥰

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm so glad!

[@thegirlwithdustonherface]

I’ve been sewing my fall wardrobe for about 2 months now, mixing in a few last minute summer sews. This will be the first fall that will be mostly me made and I’m so happy about that. I’m currently working on the Heather Blazer by Friday Pattern Co. Great video!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Woo hoo! That's so great! Way to go!

[@enahitt]

great video , and so funny when you said when your birthday was...mine is the day before valentines day

[@TomKatStitchery]

Ahh!! That's so funny! We are almost birthday buddies!

[@Northandsouthsewing]

Yay! Happy, happy day!!! I had to postpone my morning plans for 1/2 hour because I could not wait!! lol

[@TomKatStitchery]

😂

[@amyseloover2053]

That Montrose Top you're wearing fits beautifully! Well done, Whitney.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you so much!

[@christineennis4766]

Love your top that fabric sewed up so nicely. Will be nice to see your sons shoes.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good! It will be nice to have those shoes finally finished 😂.

[@susanmorris5940]

Your top looks great on you! Love the video. You are inspiring me to sew clothes!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good! I hope you do some clothes sewing!

[@kandacek63]

Love the top you’re wearing today. ;-)

[@TomKatStitchery]

Aww! Thank you 😉.

[@kirsihamalainen5447]

Hi! That top is so flattering for you! Thanks for your great videos! So motivating. 😍

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you so much!

[@victoriahannah1633]

What lovely fashions for fall. I loved those shirts with different fabric patterns & loved the skirts.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm so glad!

[@MrFartywiggles]

Whitney, you look amazing today, your makeup and dress are perfect. Also love these videos!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Well, thank you!

[@karolmolpus9536]

Fun video ❣️ Can't wait to see your selection for wardrobe 😉

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@sharoneunice8928]

Love the big four!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good! I'll try and include them more!

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

First I must say I just love the Montrose top you’re wearing. I enjoy these sew the look videos. Even though most of these styles in this video aren’t for me the fabric pairing gives me ideas for looks that work for my personal style and opens me to other pattern makers.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good! I'm glad you enjoy them!

[@elizmcryn]

Thank you for this, also for doing it now, I’m a slow sewer and will need to get started for fall! I definitely want that that Farm Rio dress!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good! I'm glad you enjoyed this!

[@l.baughman1445]

Thanks! Also I love the top you’re wearing and the fabric. I spy kitties!!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you! There are giant kitties on that shirt!

[@jmfred2726]

Enjoyed very much! Great picks for 1st 2 inspirations and loved the last skirt. Inspired me and your fabric choices along with pattern matching spurred me to action. Thank you!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good!

[@christycampbell1874]

So super helpful!! Loved this video!!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm so glad!

[@Sewsew60]

Great video, as always!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@mariedyde448]

Hi Whitney, thanks for the video. Great. Just wanted to compliment you on your top. The longer sleeve looks great on you. As a fuller busted lady (36g) I try not to wear short sleeves that stop at my bust line. Yours looks 👍

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you so much! Yes, sleeves that end at my bust line are never good!

[@barbarawarner4645]

Thanks. It’s not that I don’t like independent patterns but I don’t do PDF so I’m limited mostly to Cashmirette & big 4.

[@puzzlesgd]

Me too❣️

[@TomKatStitchery]

I completely understand that. I'll have to start saying when patterns are printed or pdf only!

[@amierikke6225]

I love these videos! Those RTW pattern mixes are kind of wild but I like it. I’m not sure I could pull off a mix of such vibrant fabric patterns, but maybe a more toned down mix. The RTW you’ve selected here is very inspirational. I think some of your examples of how you would copy them are spot on, especially that very cute little yellow dress and the peachy top. Great video!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@gabistephens]

I looove these videos!!!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm so glad!

[@tufornumberone]

Fantastic. Thank you.

[@TomKatStitchery]

My pleasure!

[@helenhamilton9473]

Loved this video but then I always do love your videos! HaHaHa I am going to make the skirt and denim jacket maybe Ill get it done by autumn in Australia - I spend a lot of time watching your videos! The top you're wearing looks lovely on you and I was wondering if you think it is in your daughter's colour palette. Enjoy your.😄

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@robertafahrni7169]

Love your top!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you so much!

[@karolmolpus9536]

Yes! Farm Rio at Nordstrom

[@TomKatStitchery]

It's so inspiring!

[@nedawilmhoff3599]

Have you looked at Kaffee Fasset fabric for the garments using multiple fabrics? His are what I thought of as soon as I saw the pictures of the dress and blouse. He has different colorways with different prints and they are wild and colorful. I made a shirt in the seventies using a different calico for each pattern piece. I loved it and folk looking clothing was the style at that time. Really liked this episode. Thank you.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I haven't looked at Kaffee Fasset, but you have me VERY intrigued! I'll go have a look as I really want to recreate some of these Farm RIO looks!

[@joenvenitsky4574]

Thanks for the inspiration!

[@TomKatStitchery]

My pleasure!

[@SusanCoonan2]

Thank you for another fun Looks to Recreate! Would you have a tutorial on how to add a shelf bra to a skinny-strap top/dress? I would like to add one to McCall's 8261 pattern and would appreciate any tips!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! If you run into issues with the shelf bra, just send me another email!

[@julieannemooreedwards9909]

Thank you so much, Whitney!! You inspire me😍

[@TomKatStitchery]

Aww! It's my pleasure!

[@maryhester5364]

Love the fabric of the Tshirt you are wearing in this video (I already have the Cashmerette Montrose). The colors are perfect for me (spring). Can you tell me where you bought the fabric and the name of it? Thank you.

[@kandacek63]

I gifted it to her as it was not in my color pallet now. The fabric was bought either at House of Fabrics or Hancock or even the chain that JoAnn turned into. So it was in my stash for at least 15 years.

[@maryhester5364]

@@kandacek63 Thank you for the info. I am sad that the fabric is no longer available. What a wonderful gift you gave Whitney. That fabric is beautiful!

[@kandacek63]

@@maryhester5364 I loved it too. Was sad to let it go but I knew it was going to a good home. That’s the most colorful of all the fabrics I sent Whitney. :)

I'm so sorry I didn't have a link for that one. It is a really lovely print!

[@amikrenzel5788]

I just LOVE these type of videos!!! Thank you so much for including the big 4 patterns. I have that blouse pattern and have not made it yet, sounds like it is a great pattern. I did sign up for the webenar class.

Do you have suede booties? I bet suede booties would look cool with the pleather skirt. Fun video - thanks!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I do have some suede booties!

[@cecilehoare3053]

Loved this video! Great pattern choices and fabrics! How many of those fabrics did you actually buy? lol

😂 I already owned a couple, but I might need a couple more . . .

[@4snkhouse]

Nice options.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you!

[@justsewit_tk5477]

Just watching this whilst Spring sewing. I think I killed my overlocker/ serger!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh no! I thought I killed my serger a couple of times. Its amazing what a good machine mechanic can do!

[@justsewit_tk5477]

@@TomKatStitchery It's self inflicted. I've had it for years and have been living in a remote area about 5 hours from any service specialist. I fail completely to get it serviced but made a mental note to take it in as soon as I have finished these pieces I'm working on for the local Agricultural show. Sadly, I'm halfway through an Upton Skirt it goes and dies. I'm living much closer to a specialist now so there is no excuse other than "after this project"🙄. He would say the obvious and charge me huge amounts so I may aswell just get a new one and then take the old one in later or just not worry about it. The motor has seized but it was very veery dirty because of my lack of maintenance. Lesson learned again as it's how I killed my sewing machine a couple of years ago.

[@TomKatStitchery]

@@justsewit_tk5477 😂 you are not alone in that!

Can you do a class for plaid and stripe matching as well. Thanks

Yes. I'll do a print matching video soon!

@@TomKatStitchery No worries; I’m all signed up and very much looking forward to getting organized. Thank you for all you do.

[@kendrabowman2551]

I really like the quilted jackets, also. And I love the idea of making it reversible. More options and more bang for your buck. I prefer welt pockets to the kangaroo pockets. There isn't a way to make them reversible is there? And what would you do if you wanted the kangaroo pockets? Just put them on one side or not make them at all?

[@TomKatStitchery]

I think you could do the welts, but you would have to have an outer fabric and inner (or lining) fabric, but then you could do welts on one side. You could do the kangaroo pocket on one side or on both, if you wanted!

[@kendrabowman2551]

@@TomKatStitchery Thank you! :)

[@lynettedaniels1236]

I love these videos. How long does it take for you to find the right pattern and fabric? You seem to have so much knowledge about the patterns that are available. It blows my mind.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Researching and filming these videos (and then editing) is usually at least an 8 hour day.

@@TomKatStitchery Wow! That’s an amazing amount of dedication. Thank you for putting all that time into these videos. It’s appreciated!

[@michellelemesurier3106]

Awesome mixture of inspiration.. the faux leather skirt might have to be on my "need" list 😀.. Does your daughter have any requests for the fall?

[@TomKatStitchery]

Right?!! I'm also feeling like I need a faux leather skirt! My daughter has asked for a pair of wide leg, plaid wool pants and a pair of wide legged jeans.

Moody? How could anyone who loves to sew be moody. We only want our makes to fit perfect. Make us look fabulous. Be the perfect shape and fabric….hmmm, moody? No way! Our lives are fantastic because we get to be in charge of our clothes and make intended design changes. Love your channel and the designs you have chosen. All signed up for Aug 26!

[@brenholmes4894]

The Big 4 pattern company patterns don't fit my body very well and require more adjustments than Indy patterns do, so I rarely buy them. I do own that New Look skirt pattern and it's cut out and has been for months - oops! I shall snag the Simplicity shirt pattern, even though I'll have to do an FBA. I am trying to use patterns I own and not buy fabric, too.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I think that when you find a pattern company that drafts from a sloper similar in shape to your body that it makes all the difference. I have a body shape that requires a lot of alterations with Big 4 patterns as well.

Where did the fabric for your top come from

[@TomKatStitchery]

Unfortunately, it's an older fabric. A friend sent this bit of yardage my way.

[@romeoslover817]

I see that you buy fabric without an idea what you’re going to do with it. When you do this how much fabric do you purchase?

[@TomKatStitchery]

I usually have a bit of an idea what it's going to be, if not the exact pattern. I do have a fabric buying guide that you can get for free when you sign up for my newsletter, if you're interested: www.tomkatstitchery.com/newsletter-signup
