Pattern Review - Vogue 8772 & McCalls 8084

[@crumpetsteaandsewing]

Absolutely beautiful! I have that second fabric but in a different colorway. That vogue top is so beautiful. Great makes. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@cookeka]

That's lovely, it's a beautiful fabric. Thank you for watching.

[@Beth_Ann_K]

Beautiful makes. You will be the best dressed woman at work tomorrow wearing that second top you showed us! That is a really becoming shirt style on you. And, I loved that first shirt with those tan (khaki) pants you held up. As always your craftsmanship is stellar. Thanks for taking the time to share these.

[@cookeka]

Thank you. I love the pattern, and I am happy to make it again. I totally forgot I had that tan pants. it makes a lovely combination.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Love these prints and gorgeous shirts. That suede fabric is absolutely a perfect match for both! Gorgeous.

[@cookeka]

Thank you, Grace. I, too, love the color combination of the fabrics. Thanks for watching.

[@nancydavis2174]

Beautiful work.

[@cookeka]

Thank you!

[@jankerslake5813]

Great autumn outfits planned. They will look lovely together. Those blouses are really smart and will both go really well with the beige trousers.

[@cookeka]

YesJan, I realized I had the beige trousers after pictures were taken. I will take a few pictures with the pants to see the look. Thank you for your feedback.

[@patriciaw8879]

You have such good taste in fabric and patterns You never disappoint Thanks for sharing

[@cookeka]

Thank you, I truly appreciate your kind feedback.

[@Arleathia]

Hello! Beautiful makes! Luv luv the fabric s!😊

[@cookeka]

Thank you so much for watching and sharing your feedback.

[@lucyall1898]

Great designer makes as usual! I am putting more love in my sewing projects after watching you! Inspiration 😇

[@cookeka]

Wonderful! I am happy that you were encouraged by my videos. I appreciate you and wish you a happy sewing experience with each project.

[@lucyall1898]

Thank you!

[@MaryCunningham-u5j]

As always, your selection of beautiful fabric matched to the appropriate pattern and your fantastic sewing skills has resulted in lovely garments! I do have to laugh when you described them as "quick makes," as it would take me forever to do just one blouse like these! I'm inspired by you!!!

[@cookeka]

Hi Mary, thank you for watching and providing feedback. I sometimes get inspiration while working on a project, and those colors were perfect for the color scheme. I say quick makes because compared to working on a blazer or a jacket, these are fairly quick. Thanks for watching.

[@sherrill4356]

More beautiful makes this week😊 You continue to provide inspiration to “ make all the things”. I’m currently working on missing pieces from my fall wardrobe and trying to decide on holiday looks. Have a great week!

[@cookeka]

Sherrill, happy sewing, and thanks for watching. I appreciate your kind words🙂

[@ibelieveinpandas]

Love the print and colors of the first blouse! And it's going to look so sharp with the faux suede jacket :)

[@cookeka]

I love the colors, too. Thank you for watching, and I hope it will all work out.

[@marypettaway2610]

Always loving your work. Have you thought about opening the side with a small split to give a little more room for the hip?

[@cookeka]

I appreciate the suggestion, Mary. I will try it. Thank you for watching.

[@gmurray3616]

I like how in planning your Fall wardrobe, you are selecting fabrics that you can mix and match. I think the faux suede jacket will be beautiful-- please be sure to show.

[@cookeka]

Yes, the color combination helps to easily coordinate with existing pieces I have made or already have. I will. Thanks for watching.

[@LovingHandsDesign]

Beautiful top. Both fabrics are gorgeous! You look amazing in that top. I love love the brown print.

[@cookeka]

I, too, love that brown and white fabric but was so undecided on the final garment. This tiny collection of Fall colors just confirmed its purpose. Thank you so much for watching.

[@Stumble.guy2]

Hello Karon! Your sewing is wonderful and you put such detailed work on the inside of very garment you sew. Gorgeous blouses. Maybe split the sides on your first blouse, like already suggested to fit your hips better. Just an idea. The idea to make a deeper neck ruffle is a great idea too. Ruffles are so feminine. Gorgeous fabrics for all your makes too. Love seeing your vlogs. Take care, GigiW. (Aka Nancy. From northern Indiana.)

[@cookeka]

Thank you so much, Nancy . I will do a slit in the side seam as also recommended by others. I appreciate your support and your time. Happy sewing 🙂

[@sandrafrancis8577]

Both shirts are beautiful. First one is my favorite.

[@cookeka]

Thank you, Sandra... I appreciate your feedback.

[@TriBeccaDesigns]

You did a great job. Love the French seams.

[@cookeka]

Thank you for watching and sharing your kind feedback.

[@Handbagqueen23]

Your navy blouse is beautifully made

[@cookeka]

Thank you. I appreciate your feedback .

[@Heyreneesews]

Really nice video. I’m planning on making those shirts too. ❤

[@cookeka]

You should! They are two nice tops. Thank you for watching.

[@pjacksreads536]

I have that pattern and only hope mine comes out as lovely as yours. Also the fabric you will be using the 2nd time is beautiful. You do a wonderful job choosing fabric. Thanks for sharing.

[@cookeka]

You should give that pattern a try and I am sure it will be lovely. Very kind, thanks for watching.

[@jeanmurray5539]

Hi Karon, Beautiful makes as always. On the button up did you make the collar stand wider? If so how much did you increase it? The collar really pops up nicely. Can’t wait to see the biker/Moto jacket. I know it will be amazing. Thanks for sharing such beautiful makes.

[@cookeka]

Hello Jean, no. I did not adjust the collar stand. I used the stiffner on both the collar and collar stand instead of the usual interfacing. Thank you so much.

[@lindakrol5376]

I have both of these patterns - you have given me the incentive to try both- wonder if you can do a continuous bias strip to cover the neckline instead of the facing - will need to try it with that pattern, 😊

[@cookeka]

That's awesome, Linda. I am not sure. Please let me know if you choose to try it. Happy sewing.

[@Andrea-bz2wg]

Very nice! Would you consider doing a sew along for V8772?

[@cookeka]

Thank you... I will see if I can record the next one I complete.

[@Macasmum]

Lovely work. Could you split the side seem hem of the first top to give you the room you need?

[@cookeka]

That sounds like a great idea. I will give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@cheryl3366]

Have you thought about going with a pattern that has cup sizing, I think you would find a better fit? Just a suggestion.

[@cookeka]

Hello, I have used those patterns and some work while others don't. I appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

[@vanessaknight7129]
