My Current Top 10 Hot Weather Sewing Patterns

[@jenniferdesrosiers2585]

Thanks for another great video! Several of these patterns are favorites of mine too, and a couple are in my queue to try. So many patterns, so little time!!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I hear you!

[@sandyp2485]

Great pattern parade! I may have found a couple new ones that I'd love to incorporate into my pattern collection such as the Rhapsody top.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh good!

[@laulutar]

Linen and linen blend knits are my favourite knits in the warmest months 😊 I'm a massive linen fan girl 😂

[@TomKatStitchery]

Yes--it's so wonderfully breathable!

[@jennysmith2227]

Thanks Whitney, looking forward to your golf oufits video.🏌Hoping there's some winter outfits, its cold in Australia🥶

[@TomKatStitchery]

I hate to say I'm a fair weather golfer so my selections are for warmer weather!

[@makeitjoyful]

I find these videos on pattern recommendations really helpful. Maybe another theme could be stay-at-home mom or soccer mom, something that would be really flexible, comfortable, but able to be active. Thank you for creating such great content. I first started sewing garments and watching your channel for inspiration 4 years ago when my son was born. At that time I didn't have any time to sew, but I learned a ton watching your videos every time I was breastfeeding and now sew for my peace of mind (such as it is 😂) and have my own channel... And I'm still watching! Just love your show. I came across an older video the other day where you mentioned going thrifting with your friend Jenny. I thought it was funny that at that time you had no idea the two of you would be working together on this channel. Have a great weekend!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I absolutely love to hear about your journey! I bet 4 years ago you never would have had a channel on our radar! I will check it out!

I wish I would have bought the caprice skirt at the time. I thought Id wait because I have soooo many patterns. But every time i see yours I want one. lol. I can't wait for the golf wardrobe video. I made the new Cashmerette Pattern skort and I absolutely love it. (I had made the Greenstyle patterns previously.) But I have an issue that I need to adjust on the backside of the skirt. I am stumped on how to fix it... (yes, I hope you make one, lol)

[@TomKatStitchery]

Stay tuned for the golfing wardrobe coming soon!

[@lisagoldring2838]

Thank you so much for reminding me about the Itch to Stitch Glenelly top. I made mine a while ago and had some trouble getting the fit right (big boobs, narrow back). So even though I had perfected the fit, in my mind, it was a fail. I put it on this morning, and you're right! It's so good! I love your videos! Thanks for all you do!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm glad it was a WIN!

[@victoriahannah1633]

Love your summer makes. The colors are amazing. Also love your modeling them.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you so much!

[@karolmolpus9536]

Love Caprice skirt!!!❤

[@TomKatStitchery]

It's a favorite!

[@chouse8734]

Really enjoyed this, thank you. You're an incredible sewist. Made me very wistful: the weather in London,UK just now is so cold and wet for mid-June. Really WISH I needed hot weather patterns!!!!

[@TomKatStitchery]

You are so welcome!

[@christinebeaudoin8703]

Love the suggestions Whitney! Chrissy

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm glad you enjoyed

[@blackhannahofficial]

I really Enjoy 😎 the new smooth grooves in your intro

[@TomKatStitchery]

Glad you like it!

[@sharonscott8358]

Lovely to see your ideas. I've made the Tidal dress 3 times now - 2 for spring/summer and 1 autumn winter. Just love it, goes together easily and is really comfortable. I've bought the children's pattern and am going to make one for my granddaughter. For us here in the UK, warmer weather would be lovely. Its been freezing!!! I do need another pair of shorts, and the Belize look like the the ones to make. We are always optimistic here that it will eventually warm up.😁

[@TomKatStitchery]

Great job!

[@dawnjeffersramstad8401]

Yes! A great update! Thanks ❤

[@TomKatStitchery]

You are so welcome!

[@norakathleenbertoglio4414]

I am making the Belize shorts in a dark cream linen. Your LN Caprice skirt looks so nice on you!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh thank you!

[@glendavizecky7581]

Great patterns and makes! Thank you for sharing your favorites!

[@TomKatStitchery]

You are so welcome!

[@jillhanger1500]

😊Thanks for sharing. I will definitely check these patterns out and maybe try the ones I already own.😂

[@TomKatStitchery]

Have fun!

[@Escape10mom]

I took love the Belize shorts,Glenelly top & the Rhapsody top. I need to try making the tank in the Summer basics. I have the pattern.

[@TomKatStitchery]

It's a great tank!

[@marciahighsmith4820]

Thanks, I love collection videos.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Glad you like them!

[@michelewegman2173]

A good pattern for golf shorts are the itch to stich upland pants cut off for shorts! I have four pairs of those and love them!!!!!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Great suggestion!

[@kendrabowman2551]

Love these videos for inspiration! Could you please tell me what, if any, is the difference between the Montrose and Love Notion's Cadence (which I already own)?

[@TomKatStitchery]

I would say that the Cadence and the Montrose are really similar. They are both pretty basic woven t-shirts. I think if you already own the Cadence and love the fit then it would be the way to go!

[@cheryl3366]

Great video, I didn't see a woven tank, like you I have a lot of woven fabric scraps that I should be able to make a simple tank. I just hate it when they cut the arm hole in too much and I need an bra. Also, cup sizes would be great. Any suggestions?

[@SirkkuT]

Cashmerette has at least two. Springfield top available on their site and then another one in their first boom Ahead of the curve.

[@lynneprentice4278]

I love the Helen’s Closet Ashton top. Great pattern!

[@kelleyking]

Love notions has a couple of tops that can be sleeveless.

[@TomKatStitchery]

These are all great suggestions!

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

What perfect pattern suggestions for a summer wardrobe Whitney. One of my favorites is the LN Cadence ( short sleeve and sleeveless) out of Linen or Rayon.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh that's a good one!

[@karolmolpus9536]

Beautiful wrap dress, but I have a hard time getting the front bust fit.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you!

Hey Whitney! Thank you so much for all the information and details on the patterns and fabrics you share with us. I always look forward to your videos. I also suffer with autoimmune issues; my condition got so insufferable that I broke down and saw a Functional Medicine Doctor because none of the medical doctors I saw had answers for me aside from taking pills. Long story short, my Functional Medicine Doctor ran several tests and discovered gluten and sugar where causing all the inflammation and discomfort. I immediately removed both from my diet and promptly lost 50lbs of bloat and inflammation and feel better than I have in years. Lastly, I have a question; did you use a specific software to design your color palette and wardrobe capsules or just design them in a word program?

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm glad you are feeling better! My color palette is from MyColorGuru.com When I send out my seasonal capsule wardrobe, I use a graphic design program called Canva. There is a free version online if you want to try it out!

[@cherylhendershot2859]

@TomKatStitchery Thank you, Whitney. I actually have Canva and wondered if that was the program you use. I've had my colors done twice, several years apart, and both times I've been a winter. Tru e colors with no hues or grays. I've considered using color guru, but I can't seem to justify it since I'm pretty sure the results will be the same. I forgot to mention I had to stop all things yeast as well; I had 100 percent yeast inflammation in my gut! Who knew that was even a thing! I hope you're able to resolve your inflammation issues as well. It sucks!

[@TomKatStitchery]

@@cherylhendershot2859 as far as having your colors done, I don’t think you need to do it again. It’s sounds like you are definitely a true Winter! I would just take those colors and run with them!

[@dianemontavon5670]

Everyone seems to love the Rhapsody pattern. For some reason I can't get the V part to come out right. I need to check to see if you have a see along for it. Love all your makes.

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

A little tip for the “V” on the Rhapsody, use a blind hem foot to sew on your bias tape, sew it to the wrong side then flip it over to the right side. I like to hand baste beforehand. It gets so close to the edge for a perfect finish! Second, sew the little stitches on the V by hand, much less frustrating than getting the angle perfect under the presser foot.

[@dianemontavon5670]

@@donnaschindlbeck7457 Thank you for that great tip.

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

The problem with rayon is that it looks worn after just a few washings and it tends to grow. I’m going to quit using it.

Tried ordering from Minerva, but not accepting my debit card, I guess because they don't accept American currency

[@TomKatStitchery]

Hmmm....They don't have any issue taking my American Currency! 🤣🤣🤣

@@TomKatStitchery LOL!! I did contact them via email and they are going to send me a Pay pal request. Very good customer service!

Haven’t even got into the video yet and I’m looking at the fabric on the manikin and saying, I think I have that one! 😅
