Thank you for making this video! I hope you will make more like this. It is so helpful to hear a realistic assessment. Especially when there are SO MANY PATTERNS!

[@elizmcryn]

I have so many of those patterns! You’ve motivated me to sewing on them!

[@knottygnome]

from mrs: outstanding pattern selection for new sewists! The sky is the limit, and I like to showcase great fabrics and styling.

[@knottygnome]

I totally agree!

[@lynnshepard7485]

Great suggestions, Sara. I’m not a beginner, but I like to wear classic styles. Thanks for showing these! 😊

[@knottygnome]

i'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@nadinewoods6971]

You showcased a lot of nice patterns. I especially loved the New Look 6707 blouse. It's hard to believe how much a collar can really make a blouse pattern stand out. Thank you for sharing.

This is an excellent resource, thank you. I am an experienced sewer, but I do enjoy simple makes as well, I have a young friend I am giving sewing lessons, and it's great if we can make something together. These patterns are a great jumping-off point for the more experienced sewer by changing sleeves or necklines, elevating finishes, and adding a lining are good ways to stretch your creativity and skills.

You are right about McCall 7831 overall dress being VERY short. I made this when I was a beginner sewist for my 6' tall daughter. I ended up just serging the hem because we didn't want to lose any length by folding under any of the hem. All your creations are gorgeous!

[@knottygnome]

thank you! i thought it was noteworthy b/c i almost always have to shorten things. great save on your daughter's dress.

[@myralorraine]

These are really easy patterns, and great for beginners! I love them when I need quick gratification too!

[@knottygnome]

absolutely! they are fab for that also.

I need to find that Simplicity 9120- what a cute little shift dress for my granddaughter! Great suggestions- thanks so much!

[@knottygnome]

it's a good one! thanks for watching.

First time on your channel. Loved your pattern analysis, and your sewing skills are great.

[@sarahcoleman2526]

great content! I want to try some of the ones you recommended as beginner but ready for a challenge. You also got me interested in a few patterns that I had initially not been interested in based on the styled photos. Your versions are cuter in a lot of cases. I also think the McCalls 7831 overalls dress is too short. I'm tall and I could barely hem it and I have to wear tights. I made mine out of a black and white twill with black faux leather piping, it looks a little more dressy cool girl with the piping. This was the first garment I made that I wear out of the house! I recommend it for beginners M7831.

[@knottygnome]

adding piping sounds really interesting! thanks for sharing.

[@timetable5601]

I would like to have a pattern for a gored skirt but with an elastic waistband, any suggestions?

[@knottygnome]

i'm afraid i can't think of any off the top of my head but The Fold Line has good search parameters. you might try looking there.

[@knottygnome]

i just stumbled across a pattern--it's for knits but it is gored with elastic waist (affiliate link): patternemporium.com/collections/womens-skirt-sewing-patterns/products/symphony-skirt?aff=140
