A Year's Worth of Sewing Pattern Recommendations! || Everything I Made in My 2nd Year of Sewing

[@prosperwitharina]

Girl that candle had me worried the whole video 😂 love your wardrobe makes!

[@CaitMakes]

😆😆 Apologies for any undue stress. I did notice while editing that the candle looks much more precarious on camera than in real life. 🙈 No clothes were harmed or singed in the making of this video. 😆 Thank you & thanks for watching! 😊❤️

[@melindamercier6811]

Haha! You too? I hate how cameras provide us with zero proper depth perception lol.

[@laurenceriendeau5212]

I can’t believe you’ve only been sewing for 2 years!!! It’s so motivating! They all look amazing!

[@CaitMakes]

Aw thank you so much! 😊❤️ Still much room for improvement but it’s fun to see how much difference a year makes!

[@haleyphillips220]

Ok the silver dress would be amazing for NYE

[@CaitMakes]

Ooo that's a great idea! Thanks! :)

[@DanaePap_official]

1. All of these look great 👏👏 2. Your red/date skirt is not personally my style, but I definitely support your decision to go for it and make your own patterns! 3. That silver dress would be awesome for a Christmas/New Year's evening! 4. That pride and prejudice dress PLEASE make the pattern for, It looks awesome! SAME goes for the green/birthday dress!

[@CaitMakes]

Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed the video! (Noted on the Pride & Prejudice dress) 😊❤️❤️❤️

[@meldixon1918]

Love the short intro and no unnecessary details. You are so pretty and I love the dresses too!

[@CaitMakes]

Ah yay that’s so nice to hear!!! 😊❤️❤️❤️

[@InMyHopinion]

[@starcatcherin]

You just seem like the sweetest person ever! I love the pride and prejudice dress and immediately got the reference! Please make it a pattern!

[@starcatcherin]

and the green dress, it looks perfect! And to be honest the top looks better fitting than the original pattern

[@CaitMakes]

Aw thank you! Ah yay I'm glad you saw the similarity also! :) I'm still in the learning process of pattern making but I'm getting closer!

[@CaitMakes]

Thank you! That is definitely one of my all time favorite makes of mine. :) Adding corset details just makes all the difference! :)

Pair the the Bridgerton dress with a red lip and you’ve got at least one Christmas party outfit sorted! It’s beautiful!

[@CaitMakes]

Ooo that is a fantastic idea 😊❤️

[@Rubyisgrowing]

I have only just started sewing and I made one of the easy tops that you recommended in one of your videos, so thank you! I’m so inspired to see what you have made further along in your journey! Xx

[@CaitMakes]

I love hearing that! Do you mind sharing which top it was I’m curious? 😊❤️ Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Rubyisgrowing]

@@CaitMakes of course! It was the Essentials Club Ruffle top! I’m thinking of making a dress version too 😁 and I never usually have my shoulders and arms out but the ruffle and bows make me feel like I’m not exposed, it’s so clever and comfortable 👍

[@kaceygriffin2094]

Amazing!!! I would totally wear the red skirt and buy the pattern!

[@CaitMakes]

Aw thank you! 😊❤️❤️❤️

[@mariadilella]

Yes Please on the Date Night Skirt Pattern!! Love it, well done! I'll keep watching to buy it when you release it.

[@bw-dn1wp]

I would love to buy your run red skirt pattern. How cute!!!

[@CaitMakes]

Thanks so much! It is still in the works, but I will update here as soon as it's ready to launch so stay tuned! :)

[@desireea1407]

Yes please! I'd love to make that skirt.

[@kasualkalamari]

A pattern for that red skirt would be godly 🙏 also for that bridgerton inspired dress maybe try layering it with an under bust corset, I think that would look nice

[@CaitMakes]

Aw thanks, it's definitely in the works! That's a great idea! Thanks for watching! :)

[@Lele-rj6ro]

I would like the patterns for all those skirts!!!!!

[@CaitMakes]

[@nataliesmith5127]

I need those shorts! Those are sooo cute!! Love your videos and I can’t wait to see more!

[@CaitMakes]

Yay thank you! Thanks so much for watching :)

[@upcycledcopycat8389]

This video just showed up on my feed. I enjoyed watching your creative take. Have you tried just lifting the staps on the 2nd to last dress? If you have any fabric left maybe resew the bra section? Seems a shame to not get the most comfi fit Good luck in the pattern making, you have a unique eye for fashion😊

[@CaitMakes]

Thank you so glad you enjoyed it! I don't have any left over fabric but those are great thoughts. I'm definitely considering order a bit more fabric and redoing the bust bit.

[@ANATJESUS]

just found your channel as im planning on learning to sew! divine timing! absolutly subscribed :)

[@CaitMakes]

So happy you found me! Best of luck on your sewing journey! :)

[@KarenHowatt]

congratulations, your sewing skills are great. I have learned about so many new patterns from you!, I would recommend Gracie Steel Patterns from Australia, I think you would like her dresses, especially the Frolic Frock x

[@CaitMakes]

Aw thanks so much! :) Yay I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you for the recommendation I will definitely check them out! Love finding new designers!

[@Whiting.patricia1]

I love all your pattern recommendations so I’m sure your own pattern would be just as great 🥰

[@CaitMakes]

That's so sweet thank you :)

[@joanreid2804]

Beautiful, creative pieces and you modeled and presented each one very lovely as you are! Thank you for sharing!

[@CaitMakes]

Thanks so much! 😊❤️

[@christinebest8218]

Absolutely love both of the skirts you self drafted and the shorts. Yes please for patterns. Your video is so motivating.

[@CaitMakes]

Aw thanks so much! I’m so glad you found it helpful. 😊❤️

[@mycraftyhomegarden]

I absolutely love the last green dress you showed

[@CaitMakes]

Thanks so much! 😊❤️

[@heinsmit8837]

Stunning makes. Well done.

[@CaitMakes]

Thanks so much!

[@vlps21]

Looooved all these pieces!! I'd love a pattern for that skirt, I've been trying to find something similar so would definitely appreciate it :) Can't wait to see what you make during the next year!!

[@CaitMakes]

Thanks so much!! Wonderful, I’m still taking pattern classes right now but definitely something I’m trying to accomplish as quickly as possible. 😊❤️

[@Blanca7C]

So cute! I started sewing in January and have been so intimidated to try and sew a dress, but this just inspired me!

[@CaitMakes]

Thanks! Yay, welcome to the sewing club! Absolutely do it, dresses are SO FUN to make. Just start with something marked beginner-friendly. I’d recommend one with a corresponding KZbin video, if you’re more of a visual learner like me and you’ll have no problem! Best of luck and thanks for watching! 😊❤️

[@MiaAnstine]

Wow! The last one is fabulous. Definitely a fave.

[@CaitMakes]

Aw thanks so much! 😊❤️

[@cominghome7632]

Omg love love loooove the green dress😍

[@CaitMakes]

Aw thank you, thank you! :)

[@vernieplummer5148]

This is the first time the algorithm has thrown you over my way. I am really enjoying your makes for the year. On the bustier dress did you put flowers right where the nipples go on purpose? I just think it kind of stands out and might not be the best look for a bustier. I think it’s more common practice to try to avoid placing something rather noticeable in that area. Just a thought. I think you’re doing really well for only sewing for two years. I believe that I will subscribe to your channel, and see what happens next.

[@sewsarahstyle]

Beautiful makes! I have the same colour palette as you, love all your clothes!! Thanks for reminding me of the puff and pencil tie top, I have a half made one in a box which I need to revisit!!! Just subscribed! 🥰

[@CaitMakes]

Thanks so much! Ooo yes definitely revisit I still need to make it again in a more neutral palette. Thanks so much, thrilled to have you here! :)

[@vernieplummer5148]

I just love that last dress. The detail with the bows on the back is so cute. Did you come up with that on your own? It looks fantastic.

[@JuFra87]

Yes I would love to buy the skirt pattern :)

[@CaitMakes]

Thanks so much! 😊❤️

[@mlewbank]

Amazing!! All of these pieces are so so cute!!

[@CaitMakes]

Aw thank you Mei-Ling!! 😊❤️❤️❤️

[@cindywinkler4172]

[@sherryvanrijn5453]

Wonderful, thank you!!

[@CaitMakes]

Ah yay, so glad you enjoyed it!

[@melindamercier6811]

That red skirt! 😍 I ain’t got the nice legs for that, but I’d make it anyway! 😂

[@yemibabasanya]

These are beautiful 😍

[@CaitMakes]

Thanks so much! 😊❤️

[@rebeccameier5320]

Love love love ❤

[@CaitMakes]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! :)

[@ZoeNycole]

pls make that red skirt pattern i would die for it!! plssss queen (pls make it size inclusive)

[@CaitMakes]

Haha so glad you love it, it's definitely in the works! Noted!! :)

[@LoveJoy4Jesus]

Me waiting for that spectacular red skirt pattern 👀😟 (Edited to add) ahhh I just hit the black shorts 😳 I need it all 😁!

[@CaitMakes]

Aw yay thanks so much! Love to hear that! It's definitely in the works!

[@evitaevita98]

Yes, please do some hair videos!! ❤

[@CaitMakes]

Haha noted 😊❤️ thanks for watching!

[@valerie-y4j]

I gasped when I saw the last!!

[@CaitMakes]

Haha thanks so much :)

[@namelessrita]

You are beautiful like a princess. And talented, all your projects are interesting and beautiful

[@CaitMakes]

Haha thank you so much, that's very sweet of you.

[@IllAttaxk]

Hey Cait, loved your video !

[@CaitMakes]

Hello! Thanks so much! 😊❤️❤️

[@carlyboyd4340]

Ugh loveee the bustier dress but I get so intimidated by anything with cups! I have an extremely narrow rib cage but a larger bust so I feel like it just complicates things 😩

[@CaitMakes]

I’m with ya, it’s a tough one but I think it’s just one of those styles that you have to try and fail at a couple of times in order to get right. I would suggest not doing what I did and making just the top portion first in a muslin or super cheap fabric to test out the fit. That’s what I plan on doing on my next go ‘round haha. Wishing you lots of luck, and mostly lots of bravery to just go for it even when it’s scary because it’s fun 😊❤️

[@carlyboyd4340]

@@CaitMakes it's frustrating because it seems like a lot of sewing patterns don't account for people with a large bust + smaller body. Like they'll only do bigger cups in the bigger sizes. I never thought to do a test run using cheap fabric though - that's actually such a good idea! Thank you so much for the words of encouragement!!

[@vanessa7840]

Where did you get the fabric you made the corsett off? :)

[@CaitMakes]

It was a damaged tapestry I found at Goodwill. :)

[@uxua268]

Do you have the pattern of the birthday dress???

[@CaitMakes]

Hi, that dress is about 90% self-drafted. I have two videos on the making of it if you'd like to use them as a reference to get a similar result. The only pattern I used was the Isila Dress (linked above in the description) for the bodice portion but I made some tweaks to that as well.

[@kayeramsey7262]

Please, I buy them!!

[@CaitMakes]

Yay thanks so much! 😊❤️❤️❤️

[@pocketthoughts9089]

Where are you filming the try ons?

[@CaitMakes]

The ones in the fancy studio are at my friends photo studio in LA called the 719 Studio. I couldn't recommend it more! :)

[@hn9382]

drop the shorts pattern pleaseee 🥹

[@kathyesargent9088]

Wow❤❤❤

[@CaitMakes]

:) ❤

[@MrsMystery07]

Is there a pattern yet for the red date night skirt?😭

[@CaitMakes]

Not yet, but it is in progress! I'm still in the drafting stages, but it's coming as soon as I can. :) Stay tuned. :)

[@hn9382]

how did you learn? I know it sounds stupid but I have no clue where to start

[@CaitMakes]

I primarily learned from youtube. Not a stupid question at all, starting can seem really intimidating. I have a video with a bunch of "how to get started" tips if you want to check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3iZn5mqq7aqr8k :)

[@thatcosmicb]

PLEASE MAKE DATE NIGHT SKIRT A PATTERN PLEASE

[@CaitMakes]

It's in the works! I'm having to learn a whole new skill so it's a bit slow, but promise it's in the works! :)

[@sweet.and.scrappy]

Lovely outfits 😍 👌

[@CaitMakes]

Thanks so much! 😊❤️

[@Dingle1234]

I see a theme here. I think the cups are too low on you, you're somewhat long-waisted. You may need to add more length in that area of the bodice below the cups, so the cups sit higher.

[@CaitMakes]

Thank you for your insight, I think you're right! I'll have to give that a try on my next attempt! Thanks! :)

[@annalisagugler]

I would buy them! I was so sad when I watched that Video and realized there weren't any Patterns on it 🥲 Love your Chanel ❤

[@CaitMakes]

Thank you!! Yes I am still in the learning and testing stage but I'm working on getting it down as quickly as I can so I can share them with you all. So glad you enjoy my channel! :)
