Brilliant ! Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your videos. X

[@jackienadler4648]

Thank you for this. This was an amazing array of T shirts. I love them all, but I have to tell you, that you look really pretty in pink.

[@SewingBunny]

Ahh thank you so much 🥰💕 x

[@jennetthamilton7942]

Thank for modelling and critiqueing all your t-shirt patterns. It has made me realize I like a more fitted t-shirt and I don't really like a dropped shoulder on a t-shirt. I think my favourite of your patterns was the first Pattern Union T. I've always just bought my t-shirts because they are so inexpensive and I keep them for years. Now as they wear out and get put in the rag bag (to become stuffing for the Closet Core Pouf) I will replace them with me made tshirts. Again great job and thanks so much.

[@SewingBunny]

Yes there are so many styles and and I still have ready to wear t shirts here and there as the thought of wearing a handmade one for gardening or something fills me with dread....unless it was a sewing fail 🤣

[@sylviahilxebrant7141]

Thank you for this review. Always thought tee shirt patterns were pretty much the same. Boy, was I wrong!! Thank you again.

[@SewingBunny]

Ahhh I’m so glad you enjoyed 😁 I love T-shirt’s so much that I felt they needed some spotlight 🥰 I still feel I want to make so many more and explore more patterns xx

[@idratherbesewing917]

What a Fantastic summary! Thank you so much, I think I need to have a look at Pattern Union.

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you! I’m so pleased you enjoyed 😁 yes Pattern Union T-shirt’s are really nice great instructions and great fit 👍 x

[@katejames1361]

The number of t-shirt patterns out there is mind-blowing so this was super helpful. Great to see the different styles on you in a variety of fabrics. Thank you so much.

You are so very welcome thank you so much for watching I am glad it was helpful x

[@Whateverkatiesews]

Fantastic video! I defo need to make the Frankie as I have the book but not made that! I usually use a GAP T-shirt copy to make tshirts but I am a little bored of the same style! Well done on so much research! X

[@SewingBunny]

Ohh yes you must try the frankie 😁 I find T-shirt’s addictive to sew I love so many and I have a long list of other ones I really want to try too 💕

[@barbarabeckman6722]

Well you are set for t shirts, thanks for showing them all to us.

[@SewingBunny]

Haha I think I have a Tshirt addiction 🤣

Thanks for such a thorough and honest review (as always!). I particularly enjoyed seeing you modelling the different patterns, especially in different fabric types!

Haya. Wonderful collection of Tee's :) The fish, Pandas, Birds & Bunnies are adorable. I like how each of the Tee's have their own unique touches whether it is a seam line, neck line /7 or slight curve ect. . . :) I have always been a separates gal, just more fun & versatile :) Well done for all those T shirt changes, I can imagin how hot it must of been. Aaawwww your kitty, they get in everywhere :) I enjoyed how you explained everything, very clear & concise. Thanku for sharing. xx

Thank you so much my lovely 😊 it’s so nice to know that what I’m waffling on about is interesting! 😂 yes hot and at the end in need of a cup of tea!! Xx

[@belinda58sews29]

So handy that you made this video now! I'm about to venture into knits and jerseys and need a few patterns to cut my teeth on, there are so many it's hard to decide which ones to try first. Thanks for posting!!

[@SewingBunny]

Ooooh brilliant you are trying out knots and jersey 😁👍 maybe try one of the free ones first as then you don’t have to spend any money on a pattern whilst your trying it out? Xx

[@leoniefryer4238]

Thanks. Great review of some excellent patterns!

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you so much for watching 😍

[@teresagibson2974]

Hello thank you for the video I think your t shirts are lovely my favourite is the Molly t shirt and the first tea shirt.

[@SewingBunny]

Ahh thank you so much! Yes the first and the last Patterns are both called molly so it is a bit confusing 🤣 x

[@jaynefederici9140]

I have just found you. This is a great video. There are loads of tee shirt patterns and it's hard to choose. My favourite was the Eva tee so I've bought it and have cut it out.

[@SewingBunny]

Oh how brilliant you have bought the Eva! They have great instructions and I hope you get on well with it! Have fun sewing xx

[@jaynefederici9140]

Oh yes. Forgot to say that this was a great pattern to stick together and all the lines matched up which doesn't always happen. I've cut one. out ready to sew tomorrow. Also I like that they have envelope pages as well.

[@SewCraftyGal]

Thanks so much..great info!

[@ruthlanwarne8978]

I enjoyed your video and love your tee shirts. I love the Molly top and have made it many times as I love the neckband., length and sleeves. I’ve also made the Molly dress but added a band on it like the Southbank as it seemed very wide. It’s lovely as a dress. I needed to grade in on the body as I make a 12 to get plenty of room at the top/ shoulders. Thank you 🤗

[@SewingBunny]

Ahh so glad you enjoyed it 😁the Molly is such a great pattern I have so many!! Happy sewing and thank you for watching xx

[@gabriellagonda1544]

Thanks for the great overview and for explaining which kibd of fabric works best with the different patterns. I found it very useful.

Thanks for the info yah yah...purchased the molly tee love the thumb details ..

Great! 😁👍💕

Great video as I said before I was also stumped by the v neck neck band and as a first time jersey sewer I would have been put off if I hadn’t seen your video .😀

[@mariasoady6441]

And I’m going to have a go at the Mandy boat tee now after seeing yours

[@SewingBunny]

Yes they are not very easy to follow at all! And Yay for wanting to giving the Mandy boat tee a go 👍🤩

[@nanastevens4094]

Well done!

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you 😊

[@tammymasson2343]

No apologies necessary for the length of the video! It is immensely helpful to see so many t-shirts compared side by side in one video! Truly! This was wonderful! Partly because of the fabric, but also the design, I think the penultimate tee is my favorite that you showed! So beautiful in every way! Your modeling and descriptions really helped to point out the differences and I really, really appreciated your input on fabric content and fabric recommendations! Thank you for this video!

[@SewingBunny]

Awww thank you so much for amazing feedback I’m so pleased you enjoyed the video and found it helpful! It’s so wonderful to know if it helped you in anyway xx

Love that pink Threadcount t shirt on you Michele & the Plantain, I've got that one printed out & ready to sew next & as you know I love the Mandy boat tees, perfect for beginners as there's no neckbands to faff with.

Thanks Michelle! You have a black kitty too!😻 I haven’t made a T-shirt yet, and was thinking that would be a good next project, so this video was timely! I had forgotten that there was a t-shirt in the Tilly Stretch book, and I have that book!.... great....pattern sorted...on to picking fabric😀

[@SewingBunny]

Yeah I have 2 lovely kitty cats 😻 Ahhh great that I sparked your memory into picking the Stretch book up 😁 hope it goes well when you give it a go 👍💕 x

[@audreycooke4738]

I am new to stretch fabrics and thought the Threadcount TC2006 would be a doddle. Big mistake. I've spent endless hours trying to make sense of the neckline and was so relieved to see your video and that you couldn't make sense of it either. Many thanks.

[@SewingBunny]

Yeah it feels so much better knowing other people have the same issues 😁 thanks so much for watching x

[@EileenR11]

Great review - really thorough and interesting. It is so helpful to be able to see the differences across patterns - especially how the viscose jerseys look relative to the cotton ones. Thank you!

Lovely.. So good of you to share and compare them all for us.... 💕❤️ amd FYI the grainline scout tee is my fav woven tshirt that is easy to dress up or down, I usually make it in linen or other drapes woven .... very versatile and you might try it since you enjoy grainline patterns

Yes I own the scout tee and it is on my list of things to sew! I keep putting it off but really should get round to it 😁👍 x

[@galeholt3757]

You have a wonderful collection of T shirts..I like all of your fabrics..a beautiful choice...I do not use 100%cotton knit no matter the price it stretches out spandex is enough to make it hold its shapr..well done..

Brilliant reviews and loved that you have different fabrics too. Not always easy to decide when you see them in pattern form and you have given us such great details especially the ones that just don’t give you enough details!

Wow you've got a great selection. I like my plaintain tee as it give shaping without being too tight. The molly looks like a great pattern.

Haha yeah they are a great one for jersey goodies!! I love finding new shops and it’s amazing there are so many wonderful shops now 🤩 x

[@kerrymcilwaine]

Brilliant vlog, so useful to compare all the patterns. I’ve made loads of the Plantain tees and they do look good in viscose jersey and cotton jersey. I also like the Ebony tee though it’s really more of a top than a tee x

Yay another plantain tee fan 👍 it’s a lovely pattern! I haven’t tried the Ebony yet but who knows? It may make it to my list as well 😁 x

[@jillcull9768]

Hi Michelle, I'm new to your channel but love it. You have a very similar style to myself. I was wondering though whether you would consider doing a vlog about which patterns you know that you can make with only 1m of fabric. I have noticed that you mention a few times you only had 1m of fabric (in this video but also in your some of your other videos too). I feel like that would be so useful as fabric is so expensive.

[@SewingBunny]

Aww thank you so much it is lovely you found me 😊 I’ll have a think of what I can get 1m out of, so yes that is a good idea for a vlog 👍 x

[@jillcull9768]

Great video, you have a good eye for fabric that suits you. I loved the otters and the pandas! I hadn't thought of doing a molly top in viscose so I think I'll have a go at one soon as I love a drapey t shirt. I'm a new subscriber so I'm busy going through your back catalogue 🙂

Ahhh hello thank you so much for subscribing 😁 glad to find a fellow Molly top fan! X

[@spaknits]

I'm a new subscriber and I really enjoyed watching this detailed review so thank you Michelle. I immediately went to look at the Linden but its just a bit too small in sizing for me. Fingers crossed they bring out a wider size range soon as promised on their website last year.

[@SewingBunny]

Yes I hope so too! as it’s such a shame when a pattern cannot be as inclusive as they should be 💕 fingers crossed they release it soon 🤞 x

Loved seeing this collection, and would have been happy to see all the Molly's :) It was good to see your Mandy Boat tee... it looked less boxy than on some other sites. Did you go down one size ?😃 🇨🇦

[@SewingBunny]

Nancy Newman glad you enjoyed watching thank you! For the Mandy Boat Tee I didn’t size down I think you just need to be careful with fabric choice so it needs to be really floaty 😁 x

[@Bloomsewing_studio]

Do you know what Love Sewing magazine issue number those thread count patterns were in? I can't find them on their website. They are so cute! Great videos, you inspire me so sew more t-shirts

[@SewingBunny]

Ohh I can’t remember which issue they were in as it was quite a long time ago! I think you can pick them up on eBay but they go for anywhere between £6-10 so maybe worth keeping an eye out. Found some on there on a quick search www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Threadcount-1902-Top-Long-Short-Sleeve-T-Shirt-Scoop-Ladies-New-Uncut-Pattern-/144051784962?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/THREADCOUNT-Sewing-pattern-DUO-OF-T-SHIRTS-TOPS-long-cap-sleeve-XS-XL-/234003350698?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

What a beautiful t-shirt collection! 😍 thank you so much for this review! Very very useful! I will start by downloading the free patterns 😂 I click on these website pages but nothing happens ...what should we do to get it free? Thanks for your help Btw love your videos 🌷🌸

[@SewingBunny]

Hiya thank you for watching 😁 I think the Mandy boat tee you add to your basket and then go through the check out and I think it maybe the same for the plantain too. I know the hemlock you have to sign up to their newsletter first and then you get access to the pattern x

[@nancynewman6592]

Check if you have to register first so that they collect your email etc.And only some of them are free.

[@Pink-mandarina]

Nancy Newman thank you for your help, it seems to me that it is what I did , I got the grainline but the mandy boat still pending... I will keep on trying. Many thanks ladies🥰

[@tracyfrost]

Did you not raise your neckline on the Linden? I found the neckline very wide.

[@SewingBunny]

You know I heard people say about e neckline but I didn’t find that issue at all? Maybe as I have wider shoulders it sits better possibly 🤔 x

[@katejames1361]

Hi Michelle, Can I ask your advice about the Molly tee? Just about to make my first in viscose jersey, long sleeved version. Instructions say to press seams open. I would prefer to overlock but do you think that will be too bulky where the long sleeve extension joins to the main piece? Hope you don't mind me asking.

[@SewingBunny]

That’s a great question and to be honest I use the overlocker on all my Molly tops and I don’t find the seams are bulky at all so I think you will be fine 👍 xx

[@katejames1361]

That's great. Thanks so much, Michelle. Overlocker it is!

[@joanbeeldens6131]

ive given up on t-shirts i make them but i never manage to get a neat finish on the neck 😤i’m hopeless with bias binding

[@SewingBunny]

It took me a while to get the hang of the neck bands. I used to stretch them out all the time and they were all wobbly. Have you tried using ribbing? I find that the easiest to use and usually have good results every time x

[@anessaharris9947]

😃

Looks like the Molly tee has some puckering at the shoulder seam, even on the model.
