Hello and welcome back to another video! I was able to “get away” for my annual sewing retreat (the retreat was virtual and I was actually in my basement with strict directives to my family members that I wasn’t actually there!). I got 5 things made that I’m excited to share!

I love the idea of the quarterly retreat! Maybe we could do it as a community (not necessarily "live", but scheduled), and share our makes. That might be fun! I am recovering from shoulder surgery and can't sew right now, but I can buy fabric and patterns with one hand (he he he), and make plans. Something like that once I'm up and running would make up for the last month - and the next 6 weeks or so! Thanks, as always, for sharing your makes. I really do get a lot of inspiration watching your videos!

Hello Whitney. I have loved everything you have made and have "enabled" me to buy two of the McCalls patterns (the newer ones, I already have the other one that is low cut) when they become available in Australia. I have just (nearly) finished the 'Alcott' dress by Cashmerette and I love it (although my next one is not going to have the clear elastic around the neck and front of the bodice), you would love the fabric I made it from, it is a Jocelyn Proust design from Spotlight, it has a grey background with orange color Australian wild flowers on it, I would highly recommend the Alcott dress. My next project is the Lenox shirt dress again by Cashmerette, so far I have cut it out and it is ready to sew. I do have the Appleton dress on my plans too. Poor Gidget she loves 'sharing' the love, she is such a funny little girl. love to her (I would link the fabric that I used for the Alcott dress buy KZbin might not 'like it')

@@TomKatStitchery I bought three of the 'new' McCalls patterns direct from McCalls in the US, they were on sale. Unfortunately there was no 'sale' on their postage price, but still I am glad I bought them. There is an infamous skirt pattern of McCalls, I don't know the number off my head but it is pleated and the model on the envelope is wearing an orange one. This is one pattern that is hard to get in Australia because it is so popular and always sold out, so I got that one straight from the US too as I just LOVE that pattern

You look absolutely Amazing in the Appleton. You should wear if OFTEN!!!!For coverstitching the hems, I know you recommend Sewkeysy tape, but I use clover fine glasshead pins. You can sew over them. I need advice: can I sew a set-in sleeve of one pattern into the scythe of another?
@TomKatStitchery
@TomKatStitchery 3 жыл бұрын
Thank you! I think this might be new knit wrap TNT pattern. I really love it! As far as your question, you can swap sleeves from patterns. You really want to make sure that the sewing line of the sleeve is within the ease parameters of the sewing line of the bodice. For a knit pattern, those can be 1 to 1. For woven patterns, I like about 1/2 -3/4” for a shirt or closer fitting garment and you can get up to 1 - 1.25” for a coat. I would do a muslin first, though!

I'm getting ready to redo mine and I really need inspiration. I keep looking at your pegboard behind you would love to see everything you have on it.

Love the dresses and coats! I wonder what you did on the M8104 when you said you raised the buttons? Did you just start the row of buttons higher than the pattern suggested or did you change the angle on the neckline?

I just started the buttons a bit higher on that one.

What is a cover stich? That wrap dress is beautiful. Yes, everything drops. Do you have a video on adjusting for a fuller bust?
@TomKatStitchery
@TomKatStitchery 3 жыл бұрын
😂 everything does drop! A coverstitch machine is one that does a straight stitch on top with a looping stitch on the bottom. They make fabulous stretchy hems, among other things! I have a few different full bust videos. Almost every sew along had a fitting video and if the pattern doesn’t have cup sizes, I show how to do the full bust adjustment. You can find all my sew alongs under the playlists on my channel home page!

If you could recommend a tutorial for a dolman FBA, if would be most appreciated. I have to do FBAs on everything and not feeling confident with dolman or empire styles.

Not sure if you have a Craftsy membership, but Jenny from Cashmerette had a FABULOUS full bust class and she does ALL the FBAs. I don’t think I have a dolman FBA on the channel yet, but I can do one. I’ll do an empire one soon as well!

Do you think you could make the shirt, you made for your daughter out of a woven fabric if you put an invisible zipper in the side seam? I love that cut.

Possibly. I’ll be better able to tell once she’s tried it on, but it does have positive ease so it’s definitely possible!

Great video, loved the dresses and the gorgeous blouse! What kind of fabric are you using for the trench coat? I can’t seem to make up my mind for some reason. I was thinking about lightweight water resistant nylon- but can’t decide! Ugh! Help! 😎

I’m using, I think, a cotton twill. However, a gabardine, a nylon rain coating or even a cotton sateen would all be great!
