I hear you! Haven't had time to sew for the past month and I'm cracking up! Important insight into how important sewing is to me though...💜

[@TomKatStitchery]

So true!

[@rachelchurch4523]

That coat in that fabric will be fabulous!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I know, I can't wait to make it!

[@teresastevens2084]

Whitney, good to see your smiling face back in your studio! I always love your seasonal “plans” videos and this one is no exception! You had mentioned late summer that you would be keeping essentially the same color palette for fall/winter and it appears to be an excellent choice! The fabrics are gorgeous! Would you be able to make a video of how you execute taking the LN Glissando pants pocket from a jeans style to a slash style? I’ve attempted pants pocket style changes over the years with no success and I’d love to learn, once and for all, from an experienced teacher such as you! Finally, I am so in love with that plaid wool you’ve earmarked for the Phoebe! Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing, Whitney! ❤

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! I have a lot of pocket tutorials that may be helpful. Check out the Tutorial playlist on the channel homepage!

I've just made an autumn/winter skirt out of some wine coloured scuba crepe from my stash. I used the maxi skirt from the Love Notions Olympia dress, cut off a few inches so that it comes to just below my calf, and added a waistband with elastic through it to hold the skirt up (it lies flat at the waist with no gathers). I absolutely love it! I've already picked the fabric from my stash for the next one.

[@norakathleenbertoglio4414]

That sounds so good! I have that pattern AND just might copy your idea!

[@norakathleenbertoglio4414]

Wonderful video this morning and inspiring!

[@yellowfuchsia1]

@@norakathleenbertoglio4414 I hope you like yours as much as I like mine :)

[@TomKatStitchery]

I love that!!

[@dawnjeffersramstad8401]

Usually I get my ideas from you,, but your Glissandos in ponte are so much like LN Duet pants I made in September and traveled with in October that I decided to share my experience. Lots of stretching happened in my international flight, so I will be taking them in before my next planned vacation in April. Loved how comfy they were--secret pajama pants! Even after the big flight, I still looked classy and current in my destination airport. Looking forward to the video on the Largo Cargos and Clef Jacket. The Largos are definitely on my April trip sewing for packing list and a matching or coordinating Clef is a great idea! Thanks! ❤

[@karendiesner5008]

Thanks for your useful notes there, Dawn, I was thinking of making the Duets for a trip in January so I’ll baste them first and wear them for a while to see what happens before sewing them up! I’m also making a clef coat in soft shell and other goodies! Enjoy your trips!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thanks for the heads up!!

[@susanbhatt3128]

I love hearing your excitement about getting back to sewing! It’s very infectious 😊

[@TomKatStitchery]

❤️❤️❤️

[@karenbensdon4643]

Fun and inspiring. The Seamwork Greer is just the pattern I was looking for to sew for my daughter. Looking forward to see your projects come to life.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Stay tuned!

[@denisem9407]

Wow, you have such a great list of makes. Thank you for the motivation. My big project is the Bella Loves Traveler coat and a couple of Cashmerette Vernon shirts. Maybe pants.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh that's a great coat!!

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

You look so happy and excited! These are great plans Whitney. I’m loving that sweater vest especially. The new LN jumper that has yet to be released looks like it might be a nice addition to your fall/winter wardrobe too. 😉

[@TomKatStitchery]

I've been looking at that too!

[@rachellynncreates2703]

I love the addition of purple!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Me too!

[@ElizabethWalters-y2h]

Great to see you back in your sewing room Whitney ☺️👍👏 Fantastic ideas, thank you for the inspiration 💕🧵Xx

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thanks! I'm happy to be back!

[@BetseyClaire]

Love these plans videos!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Glad you enjoyed them!

[@maureenmiddleton1450]

Love your selections. If you want to match ribbon to Stanton blouse try embroidering. Your machine may have a preprogrammed design. Looking forward to seeing the results. Thanks for sharing.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I hadn't thought about that~ I'll have to see what I have on my machine!

[@eileenroth9868]

Gorgeous fabrics! Excited to see the finished makes. Especially love the plaid coat! Thank you for the inspirations!❤

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thanks so much! I’m excited about that coat too!

[@thejuniebugs]

Thank you❤

[@TomKatStitchery]

glad you enjoyed!

[@victoriahannah1633]

Love your plans and that fabric to make a coat is very nice. I got back in my sewing room today ( Saturday) and it felt great. I plan on going back in this evening.

[@TomKatStitchery]

It's so good to be back in the sewing room!

[@helenv2906]

Great video and good pattern choice, Im in the process of making the Phoebe Coat Pattern and it's a beautiful makes. Pattern is well done and the instructions are excellent. Can't wait to see yours.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh now I'm so excited to get it started!

[@BonnieD-j2o]

I love your plans and can't wait to see them come to fruition! I made a pair of pants recently from olive green cotton twill and my only disappointment is the twill is a magnet for lint. Not sure how to remedy that.

[@TomKatStitchery]

A good lint roller? 🤣🤣🤣

[@michaleesloan6777]

Love the plaid. I hope it works out for your Phoebe. But if you are matching the plaid it might eat up too much for the longer version.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Fingers crossed!🤞

[@debbiehaynes8295]

Whitney, please please, please make a tutorial for the green tube knit top! How fun would that be! :)

[@TomKatStitchery]

Stay tuned! I'm sure I'll share some details

[@juliemulie1805]

Just need a working crystal ball to know what our weather will be like. Lots of things stayed in the closet last winter as we only had a couple of weeks it was cold. May jinx things if I purged them now!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Right? Maybe give it one more season!

[@annedawahare9243]

The aria love notions could be a good fall pattern for a dress, the lines look good on you

[@TomKatStitchery]

Yes. That is a great pattern!

[@jaynefederici9140]

I particularly like your coat plan. Great fabric. I'm looking at coat making myself but don't know when it will happen. Im making a style arc Harriet jacket at the moment.

[@TomKatStitchery]

That's a great pattern!

[@Northandsouthsewing]

Good stuff!!

[@TomKatStitchery]

❤️❤️❤️

[@thejuniebugs]

I love your videos. The t shirt you have on did you make it, and what pattern did you use? Thank you, June from Italy.

[@TomKatStitchery]

It's the Sew House 7 Toaster Sweater. I love it!

[@joyoung7786]

Great hair Whitney

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you!!

[@annettecanonica5220]

Hi Whitney! Love this video. Question for you - would that teal ponti work for either a duster length cardigan or a Metra blazer?

[@TomKatStitchery]

Absolutely would work!

[@peggybonn46]

Hi! Love your work, but I never get the checklists you send out? I usually get the newsletter but not the checklists? Do I have to do something special to get it? Thx Peggy

[@TomKatStitchery]

The checklist is coming in a newsletter on 10/29. Be sure to check your spam/junk folder and security settings on your email provider!

[@theresalogan5271]

What top are you wearing? I love it and want to make one too!

[@TomKatStitchery]

It's the Sew House 7 Toaster Sweater

[@hollygtn]

Do you thinik that greer dress is going to be clingy, or does it have enough a-line that it might not be

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'll have to make it to say for sure, but usually those kind of dresses hang enough away from my body because of my boobs that they aren't clingy at my waist/midsection, which is my problem area. It can also depend on the fabric. If I were making this out of a rayon or viscose/spandex, it would probably be too clingy for my liking. I'm hoping this waffle knit won't do that.

[@Sandi-u8y]

Noticed that you’re buying fabric from Minerva. How does that work as it’s in the UK?

[@TomKatStitchery]

They ship internationally! Be sure to check out the shipping policy for where you live on their website www.minerva.com/?sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=654793&awc=5270_1730122957_a328854751b843114867056fa8f23be8&Affiliate_Window&Affiliate_Marketing&

[@kandacek63]

I’m a bit surprised you’re going to hack the seamwork Henley pattern when LN’s Henley already comes in a dress length? :)

[@TomKatStitchery]

The Seamwork also comes in a dress length!

[@kaygee8343]

Whitney, your color palette for Fall looks suspiciously like the colors of the stripes of the chair you were sitting on. I think you may have subconsciously picked that chair because the colors of the stripes resonated with you.

[@kathygann7632]

I don’t think there was anything subconscious about it. I think Whitney looked and planned to have a chair with her spring colors on it. It too effort to look and find the upholstery that would compliment and look great with anything she wore. I’ve admired the forethought

[@kaygee8343]

@@kathygann7632 Hey Kath. That may be, except that I think she got that chair before she had her colors done.

[@elizabethgardner6832]

I’ve thought the same ever since she had her colors done! I’m glad you mentioned it.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I do tend to lean towards the brighter colors

[@silk_n_vintage_etc2643]

I subconsciously used warm autumn colours in my home. I noticed my mother in law and her sister had separately decorated their homes in cool blues. It got me thinking. I am sure I’m an autumn and they are definitely summers. So I think we gravitate to the colours of our palette when interior decorating.
