I love the dress, especially the length of the hem. I wouldn’t have picked such a “loud” print, but I just love it.

[@jaclynmoylan1905]

Well you did it again!!! I know this video is old, but I ended up getting this pattern and several others since I’ve been binge watching your tutorials. I appreciate your attention to detail and your thorough explanation and how to do things to have the best possible finish and not just a fast tutorial like others where I feel like they just take short cuts and sew super fast like they are trying to show off. Thank you so very much Karina. You are one of THE best creators on KZbin!

[@chibuihieedesiri9119]

Hi I'm Chibu from Nigeria. I love your personality and the way you take your time to explain. God bless you.

[@kathleenhillman1191]

I look at the $5 Feature Friday pattern every week, and often I think, "I guess I don't need that one", then I check your channel... and use your affiliate link.😂 Thank you for your work!

[@maryannfournier5404]

Thank you for your video! Your instructions on making this shirt are better than those from Love Notions. I made my first one following their instructions and I was not happy. I made my second following your instructions and it turned out perfect. Thank you! Thank you!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I'm glad you had a great result :)

[@debbiewhite3270]

I love watching u sew. When I sew, I imagine u sewing it :-)). I smile when I see ur joy with ur beautiful fabrics. Ty .

[@rosg554]

I have seen this before and bought the pattern but….there you go. You have now inspired me to get to work with your very detailed tuition. Thank you !

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Wonderful! You can do it :)

[@marlenep2644]

My mom used to say 'if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well'. Don't worry about seeming too perfectionist. Attention to detail is what sets handmade apart from homemade. I love that about your methods, the tips I've learned from you to achieve that perfection is a main reason I watch and support your channel. I also just like listening to you. 😁🥰

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I couldn’t agree more. We are not rushing mass produced items. We have the luxury of time to make the best for ourselves. Thanks for watching tans for your support 😊

[@kathygann7632]

I love solid colors. They are so versatile!

[@rubyjenkins1738]

I rewatched this video because I plan to draft a similar band for a dress pattern I am creating. Thanks

[@barbaramckenzie326]

Love, love, love the green henley! And the dress would look great with a belt!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

It sure would. I know I’ll wear it belted for sure

[@phyllisweaver8911]

You are very good teacher, did mean to seem to harsh!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

No worries. I obviously will not change the format of my videos to make them 5 minutes long. I work hard to provide very unique videos full of value for free. That can’t be done in 5 minutes.

[@sharonwisinger5162]

Super cute shirt!

[@zeldalagesse4026]

Hi from South Africa Karina! I absolutely love watching ALL of your videos. I have tried so many other channels but none of them compare to you. You give such great instructions and have inspired me to sew again. You are also so incredibly generous giving so many tips for free. I am now a loyal supporter! Thank you. Ps. I love the sound of the birds in the background of your videos. Reminds me of here, where we regularly have loud birds, monkeys etc.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much for your encouragement 🤗

[@fantasypaintco]

i have just BOUGHT THIS ONE< MY BOYFRIEND CARDIGAN WAS BEUTIFUL UNTIL I tried to topstitch color down, I think I will take it out , its a sweater knit, I tried to top stitch because collar would not lie down. you are awesome, I love these step by step tutorials. Thank You so much

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I top stitch with a 1/4” presser foot and it helps me keep to straight and neat. Thank you so much for watching

[@cosmiccoyotedog-doreenb9605]

You are. Great video, any you look wonderful in these henley's. Thank you

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@margaretjoyce6572]

I finally had success making my Henley placket . 3 fails - not straight across at the bottom😠 On 4th attempt I used your tutorial using basting techniques which gave much more control. Thank you so much for such detailed explanations.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’m glad the basting worked. It really does make a difference:)

[@quiltygal6981]

Love this but I'd have to put the spare buttons on the other side as they would be if you had buttonholes 😁 just personal preference.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’ll actually make buttonholes next 😃

[@Thedesertecho]

This is amazing! I was google searching for just this kind of placket after seeing an inspo picture on Pinterest, I thought I wouldn’t be able to find it. Thank you so much for sharing. Such a great tutorial

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Glad it was helpful!

[@terithomas5196]

Karina.... beautiful job as usual. I can tell you had fun with these.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I sure did!

[@kathygann7632]

For the roll up sleeve, just make it longer, put a 3” hem in the sleeve and roll it up.

[@kforsythe]

Fantastic tips and help! Thanks for all the detailed suggestions!

[@kerstinshadbolt1003]

Ooh, those plackets! Must try again using your clearly demonstrated method. Whatever fabric you use, your garments are never boring! Both tops are gorgeous!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😊. Sewing solids puts me to sleep 😀

[@lizhumble9953]

I love the real time “speed”. That is how I sew things like that too, so slow to make sure it is right.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Yup. No rush in those little areas 😀

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

This dress looks like it would be very comfortable to travel in. You filmed the instructional part of the video very well. Thanks Karina!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Yes. Nice comfy tights and the dress for those cold air conditioned flights :)

[@kathygann7632]

Beautiful garments!

[@maddiecedeno8989]

Absolutely great job! I just got this pattern, thank you. Loved that you were very intentional with the print on the beautiful fabric. Thank you for your tips, they are very helpful.

[@nataliestanchevski4628]

Oooh, I love the print on the dress! I have trouble picking bright prints for myself, I think I've spent too much of my life trying to blend into the background. I need to step out of my comfort zone!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Living here has helped me a lot that way. Bright is sort of normal here and I don’t stand out at all 😀

[@cherylp.3347]

Me too!

[@katewyldegal1370]

Thanks for the placket tutorial! I just used it & my placket turned out perfect! I’m using the Breckenridge pattern for a short pajama dress. I look forward to asking some cozy tops too.

[@janiswadsworth9369]

Love your videos . Your a real dear

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😊

[@ShirleyJarrett]

As always, extra value with a tutorial on the details. Thanks, bought with confidence.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😊. You’ll love sewing this style.

[@lrainbala7144]

I love it! Great job.. thanks.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much

[@bitsnharry]

I ordered immediately! Yours look great. I especially like the print of the dress. The fabric usage is small too making it more friendly to smaller pieces. Great video - thank you.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Yes! My tops needed 1 yard and that makes me so happy.

[@sharonvernetti1256]

Great tutorial

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😊

[@LoveNotions]

Awesome!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Ohio-ym7tc]

I love the "boring" one as I usually wear solids ❤

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I know the solids are needed and it will get worn a lot but when sewing, the experience of the senses is a tad bland 😁

[@texasproud8822]

I ordered it thru your link.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😊. Did you order just now?

[@gailmelton4279]

I have had this pattern cut for awhile now. Got started today sewing it and followed your tutorial for the neck and exkband I have had this pattern cut out for a while, but started sewing it today using your video. I followed your video and instructions and was able to do the neckline and neckband with no issues. Everything came out perfectly! I am so glad I hand basted as you taught because everything came out so much easier and better than I could have imagined. I have watched and followed most all of of your videos and even though I have been sewing for many years, I have learned so much more from watching your channel than I could ever imagine. Please continue to upload your videos; I love watching them and have learned so much from you. Thank you!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’m so glad my video helped 😃. Thank you so much for letting me know :)

[@gillianchatterton6376]

Love all your versions. Can’t wait to sew them. 😀

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

You’ll love them!

[@jaynemosier9130]

I really enjoy your tutorial on the details of making perfect finishes. It will be very helpful when sewing mine. That is in my soon to do makes. Thank you.

[@tinag189]

Beautiful as always Karina!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😊

[@ingridmohr9824]

Loved your video/tutorial! Thank you Karina.🤗👏

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

You’re very welcome 😉

[@Hide_and_silk]

Beautifully made and the print dress version is gorgeous!!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thanks! I’m so very happy with the dress 😍

[@tonyao2235]

Thanks for this video. Loved your makes and will give it a go. Best wishes.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

You’ll have fun for sure :)

[@amyoungil]

Lovely makes and great tips for the neckline sewing. I will try them! Especially the short wrong-side preparation stitches. Thanks so much for posting!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I do this thing about sewing small areas in the way that is more precise and then flipping quite frequently:) it helps.

[@cydmoney12]

Thanks for the video. I always learn from your interpretation of different patterns

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’m so glad. I like sharing my uniqueness in sewing 😀

[@vickibogart7334]

Excellent tutorial! I always learn so much from you. Thank you!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’m glad you liked it :) Thanks for watching 😊.

[@PermaPen]

An excellent, enlightening tutorial and your top looks wonderful! I love your attention to accuracy and finish - it matters a lot to me.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😊. I’m glad you appreciate it! I worry about seeming too “perfectionist”.... I just want my clothes to look as nice as possible.

[@wendythomson8382]

Thanks so much for a fabulous video. I’ve just ordered the pattern 😁

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@susankidd9963]

O my goodness love the dress also.x

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😊

[@lindavictor8250]

Awesome looking tops and dress!! You make it look easy!!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

This one is actually easy 👍🏼😊

[@soniaj5970]

I love that you hand baste everything so it looks so nice!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thanks! I’ve never regretted the extra minute the hand basting takes.

[@cherylp.3347]

Love all of them! Excellent job! They fit you so well and look very professional. I might just have to give it a go!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

You should! it's a great look and comfy.

[@dinamisiruk2036]

Hello thanks for sharing your lessons is amazing

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’m glad it’s helpful. You’re very welcome :)

[@louisedavidson848]

That top turned out amazing!!! You have got me basting my sewing again. So worth it. Thank you for another wonderful lesson.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’ve never regretted basting. Sewing pin free is everything 😀

[@abestkim]

Thanks for showing the “boring” version haha it was helpful to see the style lines a bit more than your printed versions 👍🏼

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

The green almost put me to sleep 😃

[@j-quilts]

Love the dress. The length is perfect on you.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

It’s the way it feels actually. The hem touches my knee and the back of the knee in a length I’m not used to :)

[@abestkim]

Love the tutorial with all your hand basting 😍 I’ve been wanting a V neck Henley and I’m so glad to see this so I don’t have to try to draft my own! 😅

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

This one is so pretty and simple. Totally worth trying with some hand basting

[@Escape10mom]

Ok, you've convinced me to get it. Using your affiliate link 😊 Yours look great! I like the boring one as well....lol Neat idea for the Rockford Raglan!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’d love a dress with the fit of this top as a bodice. Super exciting to think about the possibilities 😀

[@debbybeachy7618]

Thank you for such a good tutorial it was so easy to follow. I used your link to buy the pattern. Now to find the time to sew. I'm also a Patreon supporter, and so happy to support. You're entertaining, talented with your tutorials, and when I do get a chance to sew many times I watch your videos and just keep them running. There are two other talented ladies I like to watch and sew with too. Lots of fun...thank you! By the way, I love the birds...my son lives in Australia. Those little parakeets are so pretty with all their colors, kinda like your Breckenridge Henleys dress. ;-)

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’m so glad the sewing segment is helpful and thank you so much for going the extra mile on patreon too 😀. It’s definitely parrot season and they are abundant 🦜

[@maryb.c.507]

That Henley neckline is very flattering as it adds a vertical line down center front, it looks fantastic on you. Regarding making the dress in two parts, another option is to add a casing with elastic at the waistline. Great tutorial. Thanks!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

The reason I prefer a separate bodice is that this way, I can curve the center front a tad lower to account for the volume of my bust. This way the center won’t ride up and the dress won’t be shorter in the front. A bit more work, but I don’t really mind :)

[@KimberlyNichols]

Beautiful makes, as usual, Karina! I don't know how you wear so much polyester in such a hot climate, it triggers hot flashes for me. 😭 Thanks for the helpful video, finally going to use up some waffle knit I bought a couple years ago. Thanks for all you do!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Not all polyester feels the same. Most of the type I use are technical wicking fabrics that don't feel hot at all.

[@helenhart4778]

love all the makes and really love the "plain" . Your unique ideas are fantastic thank you for sharing

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I know the plains are important and it will be worn, but the process of looking at plain fabric when sewing puts me to sleep lol.

[@helenhart4778]

the texture is important when a plain fabric lol looks great to me

[@jojobtrcook1808]

These look great!! I like the Henley style. It looks just enough difference to be different from a plain tshirt. I really like this!!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Yep! I don’t actually sew plain t shirts unless there’s a nice detail. This neckline is so pretty.

[@susankidd9963]

I love this top I will definitely be making one, I could watch you sewing all day.By the way husband and I downloaded and PRINTED a pattern wow .x👍🤗🤗

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Yay! You figured it out! The sky is the limit now 😀

[@deidrabenson361]

Hi Karina! You did make it seem easier. I’ve always avoided patterns with the Henley placket, tried it years ago and made a mess! After watching you, I think I’m going to give it another try. Thanks sooo much for sharing, I always learn so much from you!❤️❤️❤️

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

The traditional henleys definitely have more steps involved. This one is just a nice and easier :) I’m glad the video footage helps.

[@heidefries1825]

So helpful to have the process handy in a video. If the neckband fabric is not quite stable enough could a knit interfacing be used to give it more structure?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

The knit interfacing I have does not really stretch much at all, so because the band needs to stretch to fit the neckline in some areas, I would be reluctant to fuse interfacing. But, if your interfacing does stretch well, then it’s a good option too :)

[@aerocoaster3252]

I would have put the “extra” buttons at the top of the placket on the wearer’s left side, which is where they would be if the placket really had buttonholes. But that is being really picky. Your henleys look lovely on you.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

If I had nice knit interfacing (mine is not great) I would’ve actually sewn buttonholes. I’d fuse the band from the triangle down. They are decorative and I sewed them on as the pattern design shows. It’ll all optional :) Thanks for watching 😊.

[@debbiestuttgen1825]

Hi Corina, I just love your tutorials. This question is not necessarily for this video, but I am interested in your answer. Do you ever trim your 5/6" seam allowance down to 3/8 before you start? I know that is your preferred seam allowance. Please keep up your wonderful work as many of us love, love, love them

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I never trim seams before sewing because It can affect the accuracy of the piece. I deal with what I have but I still have preferences :)

[@paulinebennett8289]

Love all three makes but especially the dress. Your comments on the cuff version using material without pattern on wrong side - would it work by folding the material right sides together, stitch to keep in place, then fold back on itself to the outside? Not sure if I’ve explained that properly, I know what I mean !!

[@paulinebennett8289]

Edit: Should have said initial fold material wrong sides together!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

The tab view is just a normal long sleeve that’s hemmed normally. There’s no cuff there. That’s why I mentioned the wrong side being seen when you roll it up. It would need to be a nice wrong side or it be the same 😀

[@joanneblair2087]

I actually like the length of the dress.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I like it too but the hem touches the back of my knees and it feels strange to me I suppose.

[@carolyngethings]

Great tutorial as always Karina. You're always so generous with your knowledge and experience. I have a question...when you machine stitched the placket to the neckline did you still need to stretch your fabric a little as you sewed even though you had hand basted, or did you just let the machine feed the fabric?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I stretched the band to fit the neckline when I hand basted. When I sewed with the machine, it was already done, so I just sewed normal with a straight stitch.

[@leejohnstone]

Great sewing tutorial as always....the placket looked daunting until I watched your tips. 1 question: did you have to lower the apex or under the arms on this pattern for your perfect fit? Thanks.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Not at all. I pretested the pattern before the actual testing and made it just as it was. All I did was add length to the dress version. No changes up above.

[@charlenefiumara333]

Great instructions. I found that I had to stretch the band a lot to the point is wrinkled around the shoulders. Did you have that problem?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Does your fabric have the 40% stretch? Did you cut your band with the greatest stretch going across? I didn’t need to stretch excessively and it’s only 10% shorter in that area.

[@charlenefiumara333]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Thanks for your response. I thought maybe it was because I made the full bust version.

[@mamahops]

When you cut your facings out, how do you face the fabric ? You said that you put your interfacing on your fabric before you cut our facings out.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

This pattern does not need the neckband to be interfaced at all. There are no buttonholes, so it’s not required. When I block fuse, I calculate the area of fabric where the pattern pieces will fit. I fuse the interfacing on the piece of fabric first, then I place the pattern pieces and cut. They’ll be perfect and already have the interfacing on. Usually for woven projects

[@marlenep2644]

Just had an idea... Could you put a casing inside the dress for elastic to give the look of two pieces and that would naturally shorten it just a bit. Hmm.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I like the loose comfy look of this one and hemming will take me only a few minutes, whilst adding a casing will take longer 😀

[@Ohio-ym7tc]

But I would also wear the dress with all that orange☺

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Love the orange! It brightens my mood instantly 😀

[@seamsuneven7824]

Karina...I have been meaning to ask you, on one of your last couple of videos...I saw a thread that looked like the same thread that you used on your overlocker and sewing machine. 🤔 So I was wondering...do you use the serger cone threads for your sewing machine as well? Much cheaper thread. If so just the regular 100% poly? I will have to give that a try. I currently use Gutermann, I buy the larger cones when I can, but they don't come in all the colors. Thanks in advance for answering the question. I have really been loving everything you have been posting! Thanks a bunch...I learn sooo much for you!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Depends on the color of the garment, I’ll use wooly nylon serger thread if I have the color but if I don’t I use big poly thread reels for everything:)

[@seamsuneven7824]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Is the big poly reels serger thread? Because I wasn't aware that it was safe to use that kind of thread in a regular sewing machine. Really what is the difference between poly thread on the smaller spools do you know? Thanks

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

@@seamsuneven7824 oh i think I’m confused by your question. I use regular 100% poly thread in big cones on the machine. Also on the serger occasionally to match the color of the garment. I only use serger wooly nylon on the serger, not the machine. I buy big cones because I go through a lot of thread and it’s cheaper than the little spools.

[@seamsuneven7824]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Here in the US they sell Serger thread on the cones. In different blends of thread I guess? 🤔 I don't have one so not 100% on that. But I do know they have nylon blends and 100% poly. I was wondering if you use the Serger thread on your sewing machine or do you buy like Gutermann poly thread that is made for sewing machines? I hope that is more clear? Basically have you ever used your serger thread on your sewing machine?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’ve never ever used serger thread on my sewing machine :)

[@debbiebridges8807]

Love this where did you buy the athletic fabric?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I never link my fabrics because I live in Brazil and purchase locally. You can’t really ever buy the same fabrics I use.

[@phyllisweaver8911]

I love the top! Does the pattern come in 4-5x ?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Yes. I talked about the sizing in the video and it’s from XS-5X, standard bust and a full bust.

[@iworkithink322]

Lovely !! Do you use straight stitch to sew your knits?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Only for the placket. For the rest, a shallow zig zag stitch on my regular machine.

[@annkerley9252]

Just what I wanted to know, glad I scrolled down.

[@MiddleEastMilli]

So was it #3 that made your eye twinkle??? :)

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

For sure 😀

[@joannecava2418]

On the first garment what is the neck band fabric?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

It’s the same I used for the top and dress. A structured denim look jersey. Feels stiff like cotton spandex and has nice stretch.

[@johannevinet5083]

Love everything but particularly the dress. I could see it in an expensive clothing store.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😊. That’s the goal 😀. I try hard to sew super nice so that my clothes look their best.

[@debbiebridges8807]

Where did you fine your athletic knit?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I live in Brazil and purchase locally. I never mention my source because you can’t get them out of Brazil

[@phyllisweaver8911]

I love your videos but, I would like less talk and more instructions 🌼❤️🌼

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Hi Phylis, my videos would not make any sense without the pattern review and introduction. I also have a 15 minute section of pure sewing. You are welcome to skip the talking if you don’t want any information. You are asking about the sizing and I did mention it in the video 👍🏼. Sizes XS-5X.
