Oh boy, your enthusiasm is catching. All your versions and re-makes are so good! That blue swiss dot version is just absolutely perfect perfect perfect.

[@barbarawarner4645]

The monochromatic blue is stunning! The entire collection impressive. I’m inspired.

[@hmf5328]

Hi Karina, thank you so much for this video. I had to laugh when you said you added a 'whopping' 3 inches to the dress length for the Cadence. I am 5'10" and have to do that to customize ALL my patterns to make them fit. I am tall all over, so I add 3.5 inches in three different places. Its a lot of work but so worth it. Keep up your amazing work, you are hands down one of the most positive women I know, I just love watching you and getting your input and playful but amazing tweaks on many patterns. you rock, girl

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I'd love to be your height. I've always thought I'm missing a few inches :)

[@karlab9557]

I just love that turquoise/blue tone outfit with matching shoes and handbag. Such a lovely rayon for this top. The flounce is so beautiful.

[@karenbensdon4643]

Wow - your Cadence versions just get better and more beautiful. The light blue top with the flounce with the whole ensemble is amazing! Thank you for your masterclass on sewing with Rayon. I watched the whole thing! : ) and learned a lot.

[@collef1136]

Beautiful makes! Love the notched neckline. So very pretty! So talented. Love your videos. Please keep sharing. Learning so much from your videos 😍

I just found your channel and instantly have fallen in love with you and your videos! You talk about so much that I'd want to know about making a piece! Can't wait to watch more! And, as an aside, is that a real orchid growing from a tree in your yard!? Amazing! (I live in Colorado USA)

Yup Real orchids! We put the roots around the branches and they take care of themselves rain or shine :)

I love that real dotted outfit. Beautiful as always.

Great job sewing yr mum’s tops 😍 . Love you in pink and the blue u look gorgeous 😍. yr bonanza of Cadence is fabulous too. I had bought this pattern months ago via yr link and never used it so NOW is a great time to sew it …but I just got the Aria shirt too ! I wish I could be quicker with my projects. Sometimes I imagine you have a couple of elfs helping you dish out all these makes ! You truly amaze me plus I admire you so much . Thank you for helping us and encouraging us to continue with our projects.

Very nice pattern and beautiful selection of fabrics. I like the variation of styles that you have made up.

[@lilybogaards5089]

This reminds me why I bought the Cadence in an earlier sale. Why on earth haven’t I used it yet? Thank you so much for this inspiring compilation. I am going to pull the pattern out and use it. I have enough lovely viscoses (rayons) in my collection waiting to be turned into summery outfits. 💕

[@silverluna8835]

Love them all so much!

Love that little v neckline, it's my favorite! Your Cadences are so pretty! Great idea on interfacing both the facing & the neckline.

The new dress is very pretty. Good tips, especially the tip about being careful when the reverse side of fabric might show. Thanks, Karina!

[@jennifermaddock4382]

They are great. I especially love the blue outfit and it's nice to see your sweet mother again. I've bought the pattern with your link. Happy mother's day.

[@seaside2001]

This was a fun video showing us how many different looks can be made from the same pattern. Honestly with a pant or skirt pattern, we could have a full closet of changes with just 3 patterns. It is so nice you can still get nice leather handbags. In Canada it is so hard to get a reasonably priced bag. We do have artisans on the island here that make gorgeous custom bags and really with all the work that goes into them they are worth it, just not in my budget. I have a couple that I treasure.

With the master class in rayon, will make the “Cadence Collection”. There are enough techniques and variety without feeling overwhelmed. Hope other sewists join in, too. Summer of 22 is going to be sew much fun. 🇨🇦❤️

This pattern is so timeless and classic. It’s 2024 and I’m still wearing my makes. Making another top today. This is such a lovely pattern. ❤

All of them look wonderful, Karina, but I particularly love the blue one with the flounce, it's stunning! 😍

[@rosg554]

Thank you once again Karina all your details, tips and tricks are very helpful. I have this pattern but have not made it up yet but hope to soon. Will do the knee length dress.

[@sewlovemydogs]

Such beautiful makes, I want to make them all, you’re such a talented sewist. ❤️

[@nancynewman6592]

What an amazing series of hacks! Only you could do all that :) And I am happy to be reminded to use bias tape rather than pass on a smaller piece of fabric.

[@gaelhepworth5051]

Thank you for the tip to modify existing items with the cadence pattern - ordered with your link and discount code! I have a number of boxy linen shirts - now I know how to fix them. Love watching your video’s. You inspired me to make clothes that actually fit @ 66,

[@elywolf9825]

Thanks for all the information on working with Rayons! Love Notions are the first PDF patterns I started with. I have almost all of the Love Notions patterns, got a few yesterday, and thank you for the discount code☺️ Love the Blue outfit, looks lovely on you.

[@Sneauxflake221]

Your clothes are beautiful, fit perfectly and made so well.

[@MiddleEastMilli]

Oh myyyyyy! I was totally shocked to see what you have done with this pattern! Each one is executed masterfully!!! But when you got to the tonal out fit, I gasped! So understated and sophisticated! And thank you for showing your front, side and back necklines because for me, it is so helpful. The round neckline with the v-shape closeup gave me a better feel about the blend of pattern and fabric and process with the outcome of the interfacings. Now I really get it and I think adding this extra part will be worth it! I really don't like the look of the floppy points after a few washings. Ten million kisses and thank you's for all your effort!!!

[@denisem9407]

I really want to like this pattern but I've had a tough time with fitting and I'm not sure about pullover dresses. Yours are gorgeous, though, and I love the way the rayon drapes. The embroidery anglaise tops you made for your mom are stunning. I watched your vlog on Cadence pattern hacks and are awesome.

[@eduardachi2571]

oh wow Karina i love your teal outfit so beautiful with the shoes and handbag wow lol

[@marlenenwaokolo2008]

I've just downloaded the pattern and feel very inspired to make this top... I have the perfect fabric for it. Of course, I'll make a toile first. Thanks to you, I know to always make one first. Can I just say that I love the way your face lights up when you talk about your mum😍

[@jacquieblacquiere5186]

Definitely I am a Cadence fan along with you. I have seven at this time. Two major hacks - a front yoke and pin tucks following your example (love it) and I used your Harmony Top hack to shift the fullness to the neckline and do a drawstring gathered neck. Love that one too. Thank you Karina, for givi6me the courage and the vision to try!

[@Nobrand289]

You ought to wear the bright blue outfit on regular rotation. It is absolutely stunning on you!

[@vernabeckstead5148]

Your makes and videos are so overwhelming and beautiful. I have to go back several times to look for what I want. You are great. I saw the flare sleeve on the blue top is hemmed. Some say they don’t hem them. How did you hem them without puckering?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

You can’t leave a woven flounce unhemmed. I folded up by 1/8” and then 1/4” and hand basted the hem before sewing with the machine.

[@TheLizselby]

I love your work and inspiration. Would this pattern work with a border print at the bottom of the skirt?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Yep it would. You’d have to cut crossgrain though so make sure to wash the fabric at least once.

[@monicavanhuystee2634]

Hi Karina, enjoyed this video very much! Great to see all your cadence makes together. I appreciated the tip about double interfacing the notch area (I stopped making notches years ago because they always flop), and wondered if you also double interfaced the back for continuiity?-- So that there's not a noticeable difference in structure between front-and back neck area? But they wondered how bulky the shoulder seem would become. Please let us know! I would definitely give this a go if I knew

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I only interfaced the front. I don’t see any issue with the back not being interfaced :)

[@bonniebenson3353]

Karina, you do such a wonderful job teaching and explaining so many aspects of sewing and I appreciate it! On that last dress with the notched neckline, how would I raise the neckline if it is too low for me? Thanks for any help you can give me.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

To raise the neckline, I’d use a curved ruler to draw the line higher. I’d keep the same angle of the little V. Then you draw a facing on your new neckline that’s the same width as the original. Trace it onto another paper and you have a new facing.

[@catherinedavidson1523]

How do you get your neck shaping always to look so perfect. I have a problem with my neck line scope or v does not mater they never lie perfect like yours. mine always seem to cape open, what am I doing wrong?. came across your video when browsing oh my I am hooked on your videos you are so clever and so good at explaining everything. please never give up I have learnt so much from you. keep up the good work

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Have a look at my previous video all About sewing rayon. I go over how I stabilise the neckline and block fuse the facings. This is the trick and makes all the difference to avoid gaping. Also, it’s about fitting and having the correct fit at the upper bust area.

How wide do you generally cut your bias binding? As usual, your videos are an inspiration.

[@dancetoday542]

These are so beautiful. I am about to use rayon for my Cadence. I've not used the pattern before. I've come back to sewing and really have to stick to the pattern as is. I wish I could be as clever as you. Your mum looks beautiful too in your makes. Could you link perhaps how to use bias binding instead of a facing as I wouldn't know how to do that. I'm on my mobile and I can't see a link to your rayon video, unless I do a search on your channel. Thank you so much for all your great teaching and tips and showing what you do.

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Hi again Karina. I am using rayon for the Cadence. When you use bias binding do you then leave out the tank facing? I am making short sleeves and I was going to use the tank and sleeve facings. I only just have enough fabric, could I leave out the tank facing I wonder?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

@@dancetoday542 the binding replaces the facing. You can bind the neckline and the armholes.

[@dancetoday542]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles and that is ok for rayon that is more drapey? Edit. It must be as you showed rayon. I've just realised why I got confused about the tank facing. To cut out the facings, the tank facing gets printed automatically, so thought I needed it for the dress! I have done bias binding in dolls clothes but not adults. Thanks for your patience.❣️

[@vernabeckstead5148]

I am sewing muslin of the Cadence with cotton fabric my friend brought me from the DRC. I am making just the shirt to see how it fits. Do you include the slits? I am making the XL with FB. I haven’t sewn the sides yet, but I think it is going to be too full. My measurements are 39 Hb, 43 FB, 41 waist . Is the full bust pattern already 2” bigger all over.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

The full bust is 2” more at bust waist abs hips. You can take in the sides at the waist and hips in the fitting process if you want.

[@vernabeckstead5148]

I am making a cadence out of linen/rayon blend. First time using this fabric. If I use SF 101 interfacing will that be good or too stiff. I don’t want it so soft it will flip out

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I am not familiar with branded interfacing like you mention, so I can't really have an opinion. To avoid it flipping, I tack it by hand at the shoulder and center back seam.
