March 2016: What have I been sewing?

[@sudio143]

I love the jersey Anderson blouse! I am an 80s girl though. I wouldn't have tied those two things together but since you thought it looked 80s, maybe that is why I love it. :) I would definitely not tuck it in with that nice band at the bottom and would wear a pretty camisole underneath. I have the pattern already but have been unsure of what size to cut out. Thanks for sharing your lovely makes!! I always get inspired from your videos!

I liked the grey Anderson and prefer it tucked in. loved the dotty shirt too.

Love the rayon spotty fabric and the faux silk. Your videos are inspiring me to have a go at trickier fabrics. It would be great if you could make a video about working with slippy fabric if you haven't already. Shame the Anderson blouse didn't work out as well as you had hoped.

Hey Lisa, thanks for showing your makes! Your style is quite different to mine, but it inspires me to try different things than I normally would - I just got a blouse pattern and a flowy lightweight fabric and I'm quite exited and a litte bit afraid. But we'll see how it goes. I'm kinda glad to see I'm not the only one whose projects don't always work out - but maybe it'll fit nicer if you do take it in more at the sides? Might be worth a try. Anyway, thanks for your videos! I might check out your ultimate shirt pattern soon!

Your anderson jersey blouse is stunning! I love the 80's though and a sweatshirt/skinny jean combo is right up my street. Rest assured it's fab, but I think maybe just not your thing.

[@Lilee2405]

I loved all your makes as well. I think that the Anderson blouse might be a little too large still. Could it be taken in on the side seams? and maybe shorten the sleeves a tad? All in all it is good, and thanks for sharing these videos.

Hi Lisa, just watched your latest super (as always) video. Love your makes but agree with you about the fabric for the Anderson blouse maybe being a little too thick. I get the impression you probably won't be getting much wear out of it! I'm sooo looking forward to seeing you Betina in the geometric fabric as I ordered some from Till the Sun goes Down and love it to bits. Missed Pops! Hope you don't get too cold at circuit training tonight. Julie Macclesfield

Hi Lisa, I love the spotted shirt! Such a lovely look. I wonder, as a request, whether you could review the Decades of Style trouser pattern. Each pair I've seen on your social media look lovely and I know very little about the pattern or the brand in fact! Might this be possible? Thank you for continuing to make these videos :) Carly

What would happen if you took the band off the gray shirt and moved each wrap an inch or two further over? I think it might look kind of cool, like a 40's menswear style. You know how you can take a man's white shirt, wrap it and tuck it in without buttoning it? It might take on that sophisticated old Hollywood look.

[@priyamaria204]

All great makes! I agree with squinternet1, a collar attaching video would be amazing. Such a hard thing to do!

[@squinternet1]

Hi Lisa :-) I love the spotted shirt, it looks very nice indeed, I would have used white smaller buttons though :-) ...may I ask you to post an "how to attach the collar" tutorial? It would be really appreciated-------- I also love the second blouse you're showing, easy and pretty, it looks like there is a little "kick out" at the end of the shoulder/sleeve seam, am I wrong? About the cross-over top I think it might look better if sleeveless :-)

[@sarahosmari7870]

do you have the pattern for the ultimate shirt available please let me know fantastic work Lisa

[@lynseymackenzie6984]

How about wearing the Anderson blouse backwards for a subtly sexy drapey V-back? Looking forward to the Bettine pattern make as I have this in my stash 😀

[@SammieJM]

Hi Lisa! I made my jersey Anderson blouse out of really light weight fabric. I can't remember if I took any width out of the body when I cut it out, I know I wrapped the fronts over further than the pattern suggests. Yours looks nice tucked into those coral trousers, but it's quite a different silhouette to what you normally wear, isn't it? I think the only jersey tops I've ever seen you in are very fitted ones.

[@julesrobertsyoursocialpa4364]

Great makes, love them all! Try Fairy liquid on the lipstick stain and rubbing alcohol apparently gets out biro but it's really toxic so maybe a Stain devil would be safer!!

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

I LOVE that gray wrap top! I want to make it!! I would like to put thumb holes in the bottom of the sleeves. I love my sleeves to be really long. A wrap is flattering on every shape ala the Diane von Furstenberg dress. Thanks!! xojennyinseattle

[@foxeymoore]

I love the shirt Lisa but the grey jersey seems to big and not very flattering.A tutorial on the shirt collar and cuffs would be great. I love your clips but where was Poppy?

[@penneyburgess5431]

The last one looks more like a pajama top. It's too wide across the shoulders, and way too long. Perhaps go down a size if you try it again in a stretch knit or jersey. Also find a way to close it or wear a camisole if you go in public.:) You're always such an inspiration to me to keep sewing. Love your channel.

[@mgam9501]

I think your grey blouse looks to large for you, also the grey seems to drain your colour. i dont like telling you what i think, as your work is so good i just wish i had your talent.

[@susanwilliams8742]

Gray blouse too big
