What is your favorite FREE sewing pattern?

[@dianevarney3744]

I have made a few of the Emma flutter sleeve top from Tianas closet. It's an easy and quick pattern.

[@VoxAtelier]

@@dianevarney3744 Hello Diane! I will check that one ☺. I could use a new top now that the weather is getting a bit better. Thank you so much for sharing! 👋😃

[@Frugalisama]

Thanks for sharing all of your lovely makes for the challenge, such a shame about the Salome dress, especially when you'd added the embroidery - hope you can get it to fit! Looking forward to seeing your Isla top - I've seen some lovely versions. Thanks for joining the challeng Vox 🤗

[@VoxAtelier]

Thank you so much for the opportunity! I am excited to sew the isla Top, I have seen some versions from other sewists as well and it seems to be another great pattern :)

[@Frugalisama]

@@VoxAtelier you’re welcome 🤗

[@MountainAccentsSewing]

Hi. I enjoyed hearing about all the free patterns and why you did or didn't like them.

[@VoxAtelier]

Hello Cynthia! Thank you a lot for watching! 😊 I loved your pattern picks as well! I also need to try the Friday pattern Bateau Top! Then I can wear it with the sport shorts and have a full Friday pattern outfit haha don't know why but it seems like a good idea.

[@MountainAccentsSewing]

I've made the Friday Pattern Co Sports shorts twice, and I love them too. They would be perfect together.

[@MysteryViv]

It was so enjoyable and educational seeing you share your makes and model them.

[@VoxAtelier]

Thank you so much! It encourages me to make more of these videos when possible 🙂

[@RoseDoes]

Love the Friday Pattern shorts. I can’t believe I’ve missed this pattern. I’ve never heard of Tiana’s Closet and didn’t realize that Fabric Store had patterns. I’ll definitely be checking those out soon. Thanks for sharing your makes.

[@VoxAtelier]

👋😃Hello! There are many free patterns on Tiana’s Closet website. Even for jeans 🤯 I hope you find some patterns you like 🙂

[@unsewcial]

I like seeing the patterns made up! Sometimes we don't know if the free patterns are well drafted or not so it was cool seeing the ones you've made!!!

[@VoxAtelier]

Totally agree! I always try to find youtube videos of # on instagram to decide if they are worth giving it a try 🙂

[@sewaldodiy]

Beautiful sewing makes!

[@VoxAtelier]

Thank you! 😊

[@ZeldaSews]

Hi Vox! Your makes are so beautiful. I just found out about the challenge this year, and i'm so excited. I made a video on it! I have missed you. I don't know why your videos haven't come up on my feed, but I wanna let you know I missed you.😅

[@VoxAtelier]

Thank you so so much Zelda! I have not been able to film or even watch a lot of youtube videos. I have been sick but I am better now and hopefully ready to create videos on time again :) This is my favorite challenge of the year! It is always super exciting for me :)

[@ZeldaSews]

@@VoxAtelier I'm so glad you got feeling better. You were definitely missed.

[@VoxAtelier]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I did not think I would be missed! It truly makes me feel welcome!

Hello Vox, just found your channel and thank you for showcasing all these free patterns. I will be downloading a couple of them. I have subscribed as I like your style of vlogging. Thanks again, Debbie x x

[@VoxAtelier]

Hello Debbie ! 🤗 Thank you so much for taking some time to leave me a kind message and such positive feedback! I am super happy you found some new patterns and that you decided to subscribe. Hope to see you on the next one. Thank you again and I wish you a lovely week 👋

[@joonmade]

Great pattern selection! I can see why that skirt gets worn so much. It’s so pretty and versatile! Looking forward to seeing the Isla blouse in that lovely viscose print!

[@VoxAtelier]

👋😃Hello! Thank you! The isla blouse seems like a promissing pattern 😊 I hope not to succumb to procrastinations and actually get it done.

[@aygul386]

Thank you for the overview! Have you encountered any patterns that fit you very well without any adjustments?

[@VoxAtelier]

Hello! 👋😊 From these free patterns only the ones from Fabric Store did not work for me since they would require a lot of alterations and rework. All the other's fit as intended. Apart from the ones mentioned in this video, the patterns that fit me the best are the ones from Vikisews because I can buy the patterns for my height. I am only 160cm or 5'2''. The only alteration I make to vikisews patterns is to add 1cm to the waist because I am in between sizes. My favorite pattern is the Sharon dress.

[@aygul386]

@@VoxAtelier Thank you

[@theseamstressatthecottage]

Really nice makes and a good selection. Well done

[@VoxAtelier]

👋😃Hello! Thank you! and thank you a lot for watching! 😊

[@ChristineSewsALot]

Nice selection of free patterns

[@VoxAtelier]

👋😃Hello Christine! Thank you! 😊

[@catiadagracaeffertz8233]

Adoro!! Parabéns!

[@VoxAtelier]

Obrigada Cátia 🥰

[@byfaithindustries4189]

Thanks so much for the petite pattern info. I’m just learning how most patterns are really off for me, especially in the torso length and dart placement. I’m off to check out Viki Sews patterns!

[@VoxAtelier]

Hi 👋 I am very glad it was helpful! It is so disheartening to put hours into a project and then have fit issues. I also still learning about how to make patterns fit me better 😊 Yes! I do recommend trying one of the vikisews patterns in your height if you find one that you like. They run sales very often on their website also so I recommend keeping an eye out for a good deal 😊

[@raquelrossiter5911]

This video is so useful! I've just finished making the Savannah Shacket - it's my second try at a Mood patter and it'll be my last. The line drawing is massively different, the instructions are crap and then there are a few mistakes in the patterns themselves (like no note to cut a peice on a fold but it should be). It was better than the top of theirs I tried making but still not great

[@VoxAtelier]

Thank you so much! I totally understand your frustration. Mood fabrics releases a lot of free sewing patterns but in my opinion they made no effort to improve the quality. I understand that they are free and some people are able to make them work and that's great but personally...I start by looking for free patterns elsewhere.

Great video. I'm subscribing.

[@VoxAtelier]

Thank you so much! And welcome aboard! 👋😃

[@sewathome]

I had the same problem with the fabric store free pattern I tried. I cut the smallest size and took so much off the length before i started my mock up, but it's just so large I haven't bothered to finish it yet.

[@VoxAtelier]

I totally understand you! That is exactly how I felt about Luna and again about this one. I was expecting a certain look and it seems so far from the goal that I almost don't feel like finishing it :/

[@ZeldaSews]

Vox, how do you find what size patterns are drafted for?

[@VoxAtelier]

Sometimes the pattern designer will mention what height or size block they are drafting for. If they do not, the best is to ask them. But I believe that the average height that most designers draft for is around (1.7m) 5.6. I am 5.2 (1.6m) and for this reason almost any pattern that is not draftet for petite's will have fit issues on me. SchultzApparel for example mentions in all her patterns that they are drafted for a body height of 168 +/- 4 cm ( this is +- 5.5 foot). And she also adds lengthen and shorten lines to allow the sewist to adjust the bodice.

[@ZeldaSews]

@@VoxAtelier Thank you so much for that information! I'm going to pay more attention when I pick up patterns.

[@clareburgon2077]

Thanks for the free pattern reviews! Love the embroidery! Have subscribed incase you ever feel inclined to do a video on that 😘

[@VoxAtelier]

Thank you for subscribing! And welcome aboard! 👋😃 I will try to show more of the embroydery process next time I do it 🙂
