Gini, LUV the pink stripe caftan/tunic. You're right---perfect pattern for the fabric. Silky , slim , cropped pants will be excellent in lieu of leggings. So cute!!!

[@thebigsewalong]

Thank you Beth I really love this pattern and can’t wait to make my next one!

[@TrishaMoore-qy4cy]

Hi Gini, It’s Trish from Me and Miss Moore …your followers contacted me about your channel and that you are trying the Feel Good Dress. I’m so delighted 🤩 thank you and hope you enjoy the pattern… I’m here if needed …. Trish xx (& enjoying your insights)

[@robyn3349]

❤ Thank you!

[@TrishaMoore-qy4cy]

Ps hilarious about the dog bowl … lucky me 🤣

[@thebigsewalong]

Actually it’s lucky ME since the purchase came out of the household budget instead of my sewing budget. My husband claims that was “accidentally on purpose “ 😂😂😂thank you so much for stopping by and offering help and responses to questions REALLY kind of you 🤗

Oh you enabler! I just bought 3 new patterns from Me and Miss Moore! I do hope you like making yours. Cant wait!

[@TrishaMoore-qy4cy]

Hi It’s Trish from Me and Miss Moore… I am so delighted your sewing my patterns 🤩 and a big thanks to Gini and you all for trying them out …. Hope you love them :) Im hear if you need any help Xx

[@thebigsewalong]

I do what I can 😂😂😂which other ones did you get?

[@ctaylorluce]

@@thebigsewalong I bought the Adeline A-Line dress and the A-Line Pleat Button Top/Dress as well as the Feel Good Dress. It was wonderful to see a new source for my obsession!

[@sewmuchknitting2469]

To match, or not to match….whether you want to or not!🤣 Thanks for the chuckle 😂

Like Rosie_ie, I too am jealous - such great makes! I also never want you to move that calendar to any other month but May. Hahaha! I have yet to make a size 16 top front with size 12 back, but now that I have said that I have probably jinxed myself... I accidentally made a fun summer top by chopping off the sleeves on a toile of the McCalls M8 8144 sweater. I had made it miles too large (I really don't know my measurements) and when I lopped off the sleeves the shoulders draped great. And it has a lovely cowl neck. As always, lovely to see your videos. Thank you!

[@thebigsewalong]

Thank you Georgie! How short did you cut those sleeves? Bicep? 💪 elbow? It’s a cute pattern. My sister in law gave me that calendar and I love it. I often forget to change the month so chances are you’ll be seeing May for a while oops I just realized it’s already June 🤣🤣🤣ok time to change the calendar

[@georgielewis4180]

@@thebigsewalong hahaha! They were dropped sleeves, so they just 'drop' to bicep-ish length. Cut out another version in a grey/dark lilac knit with a small diamond pattern in the weave from my local store Bolt (Portland, OR) . Divine store! Can't wait for your next video and update on the new Etsy dog-bowl (pics please!). Cheers!

[@rosey_ie]

Every week I’m jealous of how prolific your sewing is 😭 Wonderful work as always. Happy sewing Ginni!

[@thebigsewalong]

Thank you Rosie! 🤗

[@bburke6650]

I love the two different sizes for Strata -- and that they both look good. I'm curious to know what your pink top is. I like a square neckline. Thanks for adding your bright touch to my Sunday morning!

[@lesliemcarthur9902]

Came here to ask the same thing. Love the look of the pink top!

[@DebCanDo]

Lol, I was wondering the same but I found it in last year's video from April 30 2023. It's Chris Wood Sews Casita dress. So cute!

[@thebigsewalong]

Yes! @DebCanDo is exactly right it’s the cris wood sews “casita” dress/top criswoodsews.com/products/casita-dress-instructions-pdf-download One of my faves from last year

[@christinebush3343]

Thank you once again Gini for your fun and motivating video. Love the pink and black tunic and I really love those sandals! Do you by chance have a link to those?😊

[@thebigsewalong]

Thanks Christine! I wish I did have a link for the sandals but they are about ten years old. An old customer gifted them to me and I absolutely love them

[@SewMyTime]

OMG that pink and black caftan is stunning 😍. Always love your vlogs. 😊 Lynne

[@thebigsewalong]

Thank you Lynn I feel like I need to go to a pool party in that one

[@Sabine69]

Hi Gini! Good to see you as a great start in my Sewingsunday! ❤ Thank you for your video! I like the new pattern ❤❤❤

[@thebigsewalong]

She has a couple of other patterns I like the look of too. I’ll make this one first and let you all know how it goes. 🤗

[@bluegrassdreams2seams510]

Hi, Gini! When I have things that don’t turn out as pictured in my head, they are re-cut or in your case, those pants would become PJ’s. I love how we KZbin sharers always share our: Don’t do this! I have a friend here that teaches sewing classes and she tells us something to not do and follows it with, “Ask me how I know!” Then we all laugh🤣 Kaftan pattern is cute! I want to see the large floral😊

[@thebigsewalong]

😂”ask me how I know” should be my mantra 😂😂😂

[@bluegrassdreams2seams510]

@@thebigsewalong I love hearing her say that; we can all relate😊

[@k3of5ks]

Nice makes. I love the accidental dress pattern purchase. Definitely my style and excited to see it. I hope you have a super week. I’m in lower MI on vacation. ❤

[@thebigsewalong]

Ooooo are you by the lake ? Lake MI I mean? I love it there. Have a great vaca!

[@k3of5ks]

Southern MI and N IN on the lake. Grew up close to lake MI and have been there dozens of times. Grew up on a lake. Moved to AZ 35 years ago. Some family still in Midwest. ❤

[@charlottemccaig578]

Love the caftans! I may need that pattern for summer. Have you seen the new top from Tessuti? I think its named Cora and I have no idea why Im so attracted to it. I probably have a pattern exactly like it already but I keep looking at it again and again, aarrgghhhhh!

[@thebigsewalong]

😂😂😂well isn’t that just the way? I hadn’t seen that top until now but it’s pretty cute and I might need that too.

[@creepyed]

A slimmer version of loose pants... So another pair of Pleats to Meet You Pants in black? 😁

[@thebigsewalong]

😂ummmmm why didn’t I think of that?

[@lindaleach6488]

Hi, the Feel good Dress seems nice, however can't find the info on whether it needs a zip?

[@thebigsewalong]

It does not need a zip! Somewhere in the description it says “pull over” or “pull on” anyway I’ve already printed mine out and read the instructions and there is no zipper

[@TrishaMoore-qy4cy]

@@thebigsewalong Hi it’s Trish from Me and Miss Moore…. Yes no zip needed… I’m so delighted your going to sew this… happy to take questions field any issues questions … and wish you all happy sewing 😀😀😀🥰 xx

[@ctaylorluce]

@@TrishaMoore-qy4cy I had wondered the same thing but when I checked the instructions there's a small opening and button at the back neck, right? I'm wondering if it's loose enough to omit that. Buttons there always get caught in my hair!

[@TrishaMoore-qy4cy]

@@ctaylorluce ah yes... you must be looking at the Adeline Dress.. there is a button at the top. The v-neck is high and would squeeze over your head... I can with mine but its tight. I have considered removing it and making the neck wider - it would be a simpler sew but I like the high neck. Anyway I suggest taking a little of the whole way around the neck maybe 5-7mm or 1/4' (body and facing) and this might work. PS I get the hair and button thing it happens with me too!
