[@marial2147]

OMG Thank you! Your tutorial was so easy to follow and kept me on task without throwing in the towel. Greatly appreciated!

[@Sew-Happy]

Wonderful to hear! Thank you ❤️

[@kas-em9mq]

Definitely the best sewing instructions on KZbin by far! No constant chatter, straight to the sewing with simple to understand instructions and great close ups! ive made 3 different tops following along with you as a beginner and they have all turned out really well , hugely appreciated

[@Sew-Happy]

Thank you for the nice comment and for sharing your success! I appreciate your support - happy sewing! 🧵 😃

[@Cambrilsbirds]

Just made this yesterday in lightweight denim to go with white jeans. ! I loved it plan on making a few more, perhaps in a viscose love, yours

[@Sew-Happy]

Thank you. Sounds like a good plan! 🥰

[@Soniamceachnie]

I love the fact that you do tutorials on free patterns and show how they fit. It's such a great help. Would you consider unfettered patterns also? Love your fabric choice for this top.

[@Sew-Happy]

Thanks so much! I can't believe I've never heard of unfettered patterns! 😲 I'll have a look. 💕

[@Justkeepswimming777]

Thank you so much for this! I printed this pattern and I was absolutely lost! It’s the first garment I’ve ever made in my life. The only other thing I’ve ever shown as a make up bag. Because of your instructions I was able to make the most beautiful shirt and I’m so grateful for this channel. Immediately subscribed. ❤

[@Sew-Happy]

Oh, I love it!! Glad you made a great top and thanks for subscribing 🥰

[@laheebk]

Love the top and fabric is gorgeous, thank you for the step by step instructions. I love the style and can be changed by changing the fabric color or maybe color block too ❤❤❤❤

[@Sew-Happy]

Thank you. 💕 Love the idea of colorblocking or even patchwork. Scrappy boho 💥

[@jenniferlangman1712]

thanks so much! needed some extra help attaching the yoke to the lower section of the shirt.

[@Sew-Happy]

Very nice to hear the video was helpful. Thanks for letting me know! 💕

@marinadi532 I usually pick either one! Both will work on standard printer as long as you make sure to print at 100%

@@Sew-Happy Hi, is there a tutorial for the GINA puffed sleeve blouse?

[@Sew-Happy]

It is on my list!! 🎉 🥳

Love the hint for turning the ties. I’m going to try that method. Thanks 😁

Thank you very much for this video! I'm German and found the written instruction quite difficult to follow. I'm really glad I found your tutorial as I found it really easy to follow it. There are much more patterns by Tiana's Closet I want to make so in the future I will go straight to your videos.

[@kellymartin1176]

Thanks so much for the sew along. The instructions were not making sense to me so I abandoned them and just followed your wonderful video.

[@Sew-Happy]

That's the greatest compliment. 🤗 Glad it was helpful.

[@marlenede-abel1336]

Good technique for turning the ties.

[@Sew-Happy]

Thanks! It's handy when straps are super thin. :)

[@Renata.Renee.]

I made this beautiful blouse, the most complicated thing I ever sewn and it came out perfect , I couldn't do it without your tutorial and help ❤️ Thank you ❤️

[@Sew-Happy]

Great to hear you made the top! Glad this helped -- thanks for letting me know. 🤗

[@Renata.Renee.]

@@Sew-Happy Thank you for making sewing videos ❤️

[@marionwilkins2958]

I've followed various sewing videos and your's are by far the best: clear, concise and well filmed. This blouse is next on my list of makes. ❤

[@Sew-Happy]

Wonderful compliment, thank you! ❤️ Glad you’ll be making the blouse,too!

[@elsycastro7629]

Gracias, es un modelo de blusa que me encanta, y el estilo de las mangas genial. Muy agradecida por su tiempo!!

[@Sew-Happy]

Me alegro de que te guste. Gracias por ver!!

[@lizcummins9226]

this was a great help, Thank you so much!

[@Sew-Happy]

My pleasure! 💐

[@Cambrilsbirds]

Question: I noticed on most Tiana patterns you use a 3/8 seam allowance for the total garment when the pattern shows different seam allowance for example this one shows side seam at 1/2. Is this just a preference of yours ? I actually prefer smaller seam allowance for less fabric waste and since I don’t have a serger I use an overlock foot so I don’t have to trim seams.

[@Sew-Happy]

To be honest, I can't access the layers when I print, so it's hard to find the allowance lines that match my size line. So, I just create 3/8" for all seams. Thanks for catching it.

[@milagrosissachar]

Found this pattern on “MadewithRach” channel and downloaded it to my computer just two days ago. So happy that your video was recommended to me today because I am so confused! Love the way you walk through everything and make it so easy for self taught beginners to understand. Wish me luck! ❤️🙏🏽

[@Sew-Happy]

Awesome! Thank you! I’m sure you’ll do great!!

[@Yannickaqil]

thank you so much for making this video!

[@Sew-Happy]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching. 🥰

[@elsycastro7629]

Hello, I want to thank you for your time and dedication in sharing and giving us the PDF of the blouse patterns. I love this style, but when I have a question, when I went to my printer, many lines appeared in the double patterns. First of all, I want to tell you I am a beginner in sewing and I only sew according to a pattern.

[@Sew-Happy]

Yes, her patterns include separate seam allowance lines and it can hurt your eyes. 😆 You find your size line and the corresponding seam allowance line (usually 3/8 or 1/2"). Then cut along the seam allowance.

[@elsycastro7629]

Thank you for reading and answering my question. I understand that the extra line along with the size you need is the seam allowance, thank you.

[@ToniWilson-c4q]

I bought a New Look pattern similar to this blouse , sew beautiful ❤️😊

[@Sew-Happy]

Excellent!! Enjoy! 🥰

[@shif7905]

Thank you for the sew along. Can u please tell me what size you chose?

[@Sew-Happy]

Thanks for watching. I made size XS

[@terryweister9577]

I love this blouse & your tutorial. I have the pattern printed but I am confused as to the way to cut out my size. Can you help?

[@Sew-Happy]

Use the “layers” function in adobe to isolate your size lines only and then print. You will love it!! Find directions on how to choose the layers on KZbin or Google. Let me know how it goes 💜

[@RM-gp4ur]

Oh, wow! I was thinking about sewing this very blouse and was wondering two things: 1. What size did you choose - as I love your fit and am approx. your size. 2. Did you make any alterations, as in length, etc? I think what is shown on the model looks shorter, and I would like to tuck mine into jeans or skirts (which I have now made!). Thank you!

[@Sew-Happy]

Hi! You’ll love this top. I made a size XS, no changes to pattern. If you’d like to gauge fit on yourself before sewing, hold the bodice to your body and guesstimate need for lengthening/shortening.

[@RM-gp4ur]

@@Sew-Happy This is EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you! :)

[@tatianapiquer3264]

Great tutorial!! Will definitly do this blouse. How much fabric do you think I will need for a size M?

[@Sew-Happy]

Glad you’ll make it! ♥️ I don’t know for sure the fabric amount - I would guess just under 2 yards.

[@karenneiman856]

Wouldn't it have been easier to finish the sleeve hem before attatching the sleeves to the bodice and serging the seams with no gathering instead of using the two step process? I can totally see sewing and then serging the seams with the gathers though, maybe even using a basting stitch, in case adjustments needed to be made. Thanks.

[@Sew-Happy]

Good idea. 💡

[@tlt43]

Thank you for the video. It looks like you lengthened this top as compared to where it hits on the website. About how much did you lengthen it? I like where you're hem sits verses how cropped it is on the site.

[@Sew-Happy]

I actually didn't add length! 😳 I hemmed at 1/2" and I think the allowance was 1", but no other change.

[@Cambrilsbirds]

When you use an overcast foot instead of a serger to finish your edges, do you backstitch before and after sewing?

[@Sew-Happy]

It's a great question -- no, you do not need to backstitch when you overcast.

[@kellemoody3614]

I really like the look of this pattern; however, I cannot get the ties to turn right side out. Anyone else struggling with that? Any other maybe easier ways to turn them?

[@Sew-Happy]

Try this - works perfect every time!! Sew THIN Straps 🤯 🧵 kzbin.infoUaaLLv-rfJQ?feature=share
