[@regalrose3365]

The Closet Historian loves floof! I l binge watch her videos, but remember that's her full-time job, and she openly says things dont always come out to plan.Your top came out beautiful. Please continue posting sewing videos 😊

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊 Yes, I also have been binge watching her videos! Such a talented lady. And so helpful!

[@seestellysew8472]

All your efforts and hard work paid off beautifully. You did a marvelous job.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊

[@SeamsLikeAGoodIdea]

Well, that turned out amazing!! It's my favorite so far!! 💯

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊

[@beckyunderwood4220]

Good call on the simplification and the collar! Your willingness to dive in to techniques you haven’t tried before is much admired!

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Ha ha! I always like to give things a go ... with differing results but I find I learn so much by branching out 😊

[@karinjcollstrup7360]

Wow, what a gorgius result. Especially the neckline is my favorit!

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊

[@jojosyll]

I agree too much would be a disaster. Lovely and elegant with the skirt. Perfect! 💯💐🧵🪡

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊

[@mariepeterson7250]

This is gorgeous on you just as all your recent makes have been. I really enjoyed watching your process, Thank you.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊 That's very kind of you.

[@velvetvert9431]

The effect of the collar band with the wrap neckline is very elegant. Much better than froof, I think. Also love how your wee dog always wants to be part of the reveal!

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊 Yes, she's a natural born 'supermodel' 🤣 I think she thinks it some sort of game but hasn't quite figured out what it is yet!

[@grandknit1016]

I’ve looked at all your outfits so far and they are all amazing! You are quite a skilled seamstress. I’ve always liked making my own clothes because they are unique and no one has anything like them. Splendid job!

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊 That's very kind. I totally agree, making and wearing your own clothes is the best!

[@lighthseskr]

That turned out so lovely. And so happy you shared all your struggles along the way. You are such an inspiration. Also, Sew with Sally, has very good videos on pattern making and also on using your block to modify commercial patterns, fyi.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thanks for that, I'll check her out!

[@debramejia5091]

Absolutely stunning; such talent! Looks gorgeous on you.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you so much!

[@marycarolynoverton6599]

Wow amazing perseverance for great results. Well done.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Yes, this item was a bit of a mission! Thank you 😊

[@marathorne6821]

It looks wonderful! The simpler style definitely works. I particularly like the way your grown on sleeves don't gape, this has been a problem when I've made tops with grown on sleeves from commercial patterns... All your head scratching has paid off, it looks fabulous 👌

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊 Yes, I just seam higher up and that fixed it!

[@jennycollard1173]

Well done😎 Love the finished outfit, and the “let’s experiment and work it out” process really appeals to me… I love the process of learning pattern making

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊 I always think "what's the worst that can happen" 🤣 I usually end up learning something!

[@karenrogers3457]

Fabulous! The collar choice turned out perfect!

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊

[@roxannecoates4695]

Lovely! Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you too! 😊

[@tiarabass4625]

This one is also my favorite so far!

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊

[@thisoldcottagenz]

It's lovely the colour is beautiful on you. well done.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you so much!

[@soniahinson6372]

Very elegant. Well done. 👏

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊

[@angbairdab]

So impressed with not only your capsule collection, this top especially, but the honest. Informative way you put the video together. I felt your pain with some of the processes, being a sewer myself. New sub, impressive. Hope you enjoyed the wedding

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊 Yes, the wedding was lovely 😁

[@rainieraine1192]

Absolutely loving your series on your capsule wardrobe and don’t want it to end so I’m very glad to hear that you’ll be adding to it. I love all of your outfits so far and also love the reveal and the music too. Thank you so much for sharing your makes.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊 That's very kind!

[@maz9917]

Absolutely fabulous. You are so talented.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you so much!

[@sandrariddler2310]

What a beautiful outfit!

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊

[@tonia-deegraveson1760]

So special you did wonderfully

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊

[@becpennington7470]

The collar is perfect. You were right to leave off the extra pleated fabric; there was no need. Beautiful!

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊 It took me a bit of time to get there 🤣

[@irmadesantiago7631]

You are amazing! I wish I knew how to sew blocks and sloppers make no sense to me but I do have a new sewing machine and stuff to cut and try to sew.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Yes, they are a bit confusing - I just muddle through and get it wrong a lot 🤣

[@laurenecday]

I just found your videos and I'm loving them! They're exactly what I've been looking for. I really like tryin to 'fit' a commercial/indy pattern to my own blocks, with varying success lol

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

I'm so pleased 😊 Welcome

[@pollymaxwell5585]

Beautiful top.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊

[@loisg2316]

Lovely outfit ❤

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊

[@EileenR11]

Another lovely make. I am finding this series very inspirational. Love your sitting room also. 😊 PS: We used to call those collars Grandad or Mandarin/Mao collars. When was a student in Scotland you could find lots of those cotton men's shirts that were designed to be worn with added collars. They looked great with jeans. Now people mostly call them stand collars as the historic and cultural references are not as familiar to most people as they once were.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊 and yes, I think you're right!

[@elisestewart5416]

That is fabulous. Even more amazing that you drafted it yourself. Please could you tell me the music you use for the reveal sections? I love that too.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊 I just found the music on the KZbin audio library. It's called 'Mi Borinquen - Doug Maxwell_Jimmy Fontanez'
