Now I’m catching up on all your older videos. You are a treasure!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

That’s an oldie! Thank you so much for watching.

[@carolekus1715]

Karina thank you so much for sharing I have the Ogden cami but have not yet used it now I know how to make it more modest it’s next on my sewing list. Thank you for your unique way of teaching you are so easy to follow and are so much fun wish it was possible to take a class with you in person I think that would be such an awesome day with lots of fun and laughter not to mention the actual learning curve but I do follow you on you tube and I find you such an inspiration. Have a wonderful day and thank you 💐💐💐

[@tracyhaselden4394]

You’ve totally inspired me to get making Ogden camis!! I loved all your ideas!!

[@denisecharles5874]

HI MY FRIEND, I ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO SOOOOO MUCH . YOU GIVE A LOT OF GREAT INFORMATION. I LOVE YOUR BUBBLY , HAPPY PERSONALITY . I LOVE ALL THE CAMI U SEWED . I ALSO LIKE THE STRAP MORE WIDE , TO HIDE MY BRA STRAPS AND MY CUSTOMERS OWN AS WELL. IT LOOKS EVEN BETTER WHEN YOU DID THE COLOR BLOCK ON THE 4TH CAMI ....... GREAT VIDEO . 👍👍👍👍👍

[@margyb7469]

Love your cami's the best I have seen so far, I believe it is the adjustments you made that make it look just perfect

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

They do need some tweaking. I think this pattern would benefit from a bust dart.

[@margyb7469]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Yes I agree a bust dart would look great on the cami.

[@CraftyCuriosity]

so many good ideas

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thanks!

[@virginiacervantes2110]

All the camis are beautiful. I love your comment on #4 that fails don't exist

[@laurieginsburg3336]

Love all your camis! I've been looking for a pattern that accommodates bra straps and that flows around the body instead of clinging. This pattern does both. Thanks!!

[@neenathatsews1085]

wow! I love this cami- all of them! love the idea about using the button placket up the back of the black one- I might try that! Thanks for a great video- hope you are healthy and well.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I love using thrifted garments like that. Keeping details there for interest.

[@ladyhamilton5179]

Good looking cami's Have fun sewing, later.

[@soniabutler6280]

I so agree with you about the whole bra strap situation. I love your approach. My first Ogden I made in size 18 but eventually found the 14 worked best to go around my bust and also not to be too low around the arm hole. Brilliant fix and great win! And really good refashion, which is perfect recycling 👏🏻💐 totally great Many thanks

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I made 8 I believe and won’t be making anymore. Now that I have the crystal cove from itch to stitch the fit is so much better with the dart and cup sizes. I’ll be widening the strap too.

[@leslindelgado6124]

I freakin love your aesthetic.

[@janicek6399]

"Fails don't exist" I like that! And I'm going to remember and re-use that phrase 😉.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Janice K color blocking is the key to fix any boo boo 👻

[@lanastraea]

I love how you have all these ways for using up little bits of leftover fabric!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thanks! I’m always very happy when o can use my scraps like that.

[@chrisharrison5974]

Thank you for a great video, definitely the best I have come across for this cami 😍👍👏. I have been putting off buying this pattern until now but your advice on widening the straps and choice of fabrics has convinced me I really need it in my life. I love the recycled versions you made, a lady after my own heart. 💖💖 xx

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

This video is over a year ago. Currently my fave is the Crystal Cove from Itch to Stitch and whilst I still have to widen the straps, it comes with cup sizes and fits so much better than the Ogden. The Ogden is geared more for the A and B cups. I still wear mine but the fit is not totally right.

[@doowopshopgal]

Thank you for your sweet comment. I want to copy your ideas as well. And buying pieces of ready-made clothing at the thrift store is a fantastic idea because you have a wide variety. I am going through many of your videos to get more ideas from you. You’re so cute thank you so much.

[@doowopshopgal]

You did a fantastic job creating your own design with the buttons in the back and the ties as your straps. I just found you and subscribed.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

doowopshopgal thank you :)

[@CraftyClaire75]

Just stumbled across your channel, you are such a delight to watch, so happy, thank you for the Ogdan video as I am about to make my first one x

[@sallydingle321]

Great cami's and hope you win the challenge 😁😘

[@jodieroundtree488]

Karina you always inspire me ♡ that looks like a great idea for me to try this winter so I'll be ready for our summer. Thanks!

[@chelzheartsart6411]

All your camis are soo cute!

[@carolinelaplante5857]

Thank you for this video. I've been wanting to make the Ogden Cami but knew I would need a wider strap and was wondering how it would turn out. All the cami's are beautiful!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😊. The thin thin straps don’t go well with the heavy duty bras I need. Thanks for watching 😊.

[@catringoch]

What size straps are they with the change?

[@myralorraine]

Really nice, all of them! I love using one pattern to make multiples especially when I am vacation sewing! Makes for a fast wardrobe!

[@StitchesSeams]

All lovely. I’ve just printed and traced this one, hopefully I’ll get to it soon.

[@sewhappysarahr8912]

When I first started sewing I tried this pattern and it was awful on me! I grabbed it to review with this vid and it turns out I cut some kind of crazy big size. I also want more coverage and wider straps, so I will follow your instructions. For a 14 the pattern says 2 yards for 54" material but I am certain I can get this out of a yard, right? I have heard that it is a great scrap buster.

[@laurajones4088]

Love your into on the beach and all of your camis. This pattern suits your style perfectly-True Bias should rename it the Karina Cami:)

[@wendysimm7615]

Hi l just discovered your channel and love all your projects, how do l make the cami top would love to know.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

It’s very simple design and the instructions in the pattern are thorough. This specific video differs to others on my channel. In this one I show my collection only.

[@wendysimm7615]

💞bought the Ogden top pattern just now.Karina you are an inspiration.l am in UK l wish you well in Brazil .x

[@cookee51]

I have just bought the Ogden Camisole and found your video so helpful, it is the best one I have seen advising on the design before making it. Can please you tell me how you calculated the dart depth and placement of it on the pattern piece and did you change the pattern piece shaping to accommodate it? Sewing Susie in France

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

cookee51 hi! I played with a muslin fabric and pinned the straps to the height that was comfortable for me. I marked on the muslin the height of my apex. I then transferred that mark onto the pattern. Depends on your cup size.... the depth of the dart could be: A cup 2cm, B cup 3cm, C cup 4-5cm, D cup 5-6cm. The length of the dart is 10-11cm. That mark of my apex is the tip of the dart and I draw it from there. I then adjusted the length of the front to account for length lost on the side seam to match the back. The crystal cove from itch to stitch has darts and cup sizes and shaping, plus a cute back detail. I have a vlog on that one also.

[@Noelsam11]

How did you add darts on the cami, i notice some have it? They are gorgeous.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Noelsam11 the darts really didn’t work well and it was only an experiment. At the time I was packing to move to Brazil and life was crazy. I didn’t have time to perfect them and show them on the channel. Currently I’m loving the Crystal Cove by Itch to stick, its got darts and cup sizes 👍🏼

[@Noelsam11]

Ok, I have the Crystal Cove cami also, cause I saw it on your channel. I loved it. Maybe you can do a tutorial on how to do bust darts. I have the Silk Cami form Sew over it and I need bust dart, to make it fit better.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Noelsam11 that pattern fits poorly even in the small busted ladies. There’s something off with it. I’ll find a way to perfect a method to add darts for sure and film it :)

[@Noelsam11]

Thank you so much Karina, I'll defiantly look forward it. I think you are so right, the pattern is poorly done, I thought It was just me thinking, I have tried to make it work many ways and I just don't like the way it work.

[@teresalibby6751]

It looks like you put darts in the last cami you made. Why in that and not the others?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Teresa Libby I made it last and didn’t cut it with all the others. It was an experiment and I haven’t made anymore since. The next ones I make will have the bust darts. It fits better.

[@robyn3349]

"Win/ win!" :)

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Rob yN thanks! I can't wait to try all the hacks once I'm settled in.

[@annetteraskkrogse8326]

Are there bust darts in your camis ??

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Just in one I was doing an experiment with. Otherwise the others don’t.

[@annetteraskkrogse8326]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles So the fit is ok, I guess. I do normally need a FBA ...

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

This brand drafts with a c cup in mind and that’s my cup size. . I never do an FBA. I added a dart for shaping, not for extra space width. It’s a different adjustment. I’d actually use a pattern with a dart or draft my own.

[@deborahabayomi6863]

Hi Karina, Thanks for posting this. I would like to make the longer version (below the knee length), should I just add more length to it up till my desired length ?

[@hjkennaugh]

Did you add a dart to the pattern? If so how did you do it please.

[@722dabba]

that black cami ( 6th one) is amazing.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😊
