Sew a Spring Capsule with Free Patterns

[@bm2084]

It’s so exciting to see all the selections! Great video.🧵👗💡From Canada.

[@Lisamakes]

Thanks for watching!

[@saint-miscreant]

in terms of tunics, loose tops and pants i also recommend Elizabeth Suzann’s patterns! they are pay what you want and they’re very beginner friendly. the pants pattern they have reminds me a lot of the Petra Pants pattern that is so popular

[@Lisamakes]

Yes, that’s true! I didn’t realize they are still Pay what you can. I did a whole video on them two years ago when she released them for free for a few months. They really are great pieces for any spring wardrobe.

[@miniquelange7848]

I can't seem to find their section on pay what you can. Can you provide a link?

[@saint-miscreant]

@@Lisamakes unfortunately shortly after writing this comment i opened up my email to see a new email from Elizabeth Suzann stating that they’ve redone their patterns section and will now be charging for them! unfortunate timing, but they were excellent patterns and i’m honestly surprised they were able to offer like. 4 or 5 good basic flexible patterns for low cost, for so long

[@saint-miscreant]

@@miniquelange7848 as above :(

[@madebykarenmarie]

So many good suggestions! There were several pattern/ fabric companies I hadn't heard of, too. Really exciting! :)

[@Lisamakes]

Glad to hear it! I love to find new companies to share.

[@taravarnell7042]

Love. I really like it when you talk about the different fabrics you would use.

[@Lisamakes]

That’s a great idea for a video- matching fabric to free patterns.

[@Bloomsewing_studio]

These were all soo great! It’s rare I get through a video and want to make more than one! But i want to make many of these

[@Lisamakes]

That’s a great compliment, thank you!

[@MadeByTriniLena]

Hope you enjoyed your Mother’s Day Lisa, hope the family is well.

[@MadeByTriniLena]

Aww they’ve grown up, lovely, God bless them

[@nancyshaner8548]

Those are great patterns. I will have to give some of them a try.

[@Lisamakes]

I’m glad!

[@bogdem9610]

Love this. You mentioned a few I hadn’t heard of so downloaded a few - grassier no. 93, lowland kids baggy tee, imbys flowy top. Thanks.

[@Lisamakes]

Glad I found a few you didn’t know. ;)

[@jennifermaddock4382]

Great choices and many I haven't seen. I have made the George and Ginger 40K Sway top and it turned out great. Thanks sew much for another excellent video.

[@Lisamakes]

That’s great to hear! The 40k Sway looks really cute.

[@kathyskagen6210]

Thank you so much for doing all this research and sharing your results. You've found many nice parents. I'm going to make the Helene from diy-hemmers that is on your extended list.

[@Lisamakes]

Super! I hope they turn out well for you.

[@nefetarim4614]

Great pattern round up! I just started my spring sewing and now I have some new ideas..

[@Lisamakes]

So glad to give you some ideas!

[@stilettodivah]

These are some great choices. I am so ready for the spring switch over. I especially love the Frankie Wrap Skirt.

[@Lisamakes]

Agreed! Bring on the spring sewing!

[@InaTrendyTown]

Thanks Lisa! I love this type of videos because sometimes I buy magazines with patterns but these ones are also great to practise

[@Lisamakes]

For sure!

[@mel_issa__]

I can vouch for the closet core tee, I made one and immediately made two more. So good!!

[@Lisamakes]

Amazing! Can’t wait to try it.

[@nadialetourneau4490]

I will definitively try the linen bow blouse! Thanks

[@Lisamakes]

I’m glad! Let me know how it goes.

[@toniavandyk603]

Downloaded the Closet Core Tee and the Women’s Baggy VNeck Tee right away! I’m going on a big trip soon and could use a few more tops in my capsule wardrobe!!

[@Lisamakes]

Glad you found some patterns for your capsule!

[@casuarinagirl8067]

Well that was fun 🥰 thanks for sharing. I’m just getting my sewjo back (too much knitting) so this was inspiring. Happy knitting and sewing 🥰

[@Lisamakes]

I definitely flip back and forth between the two, as well. Have fun!

[@alexandriaspann8194]

help i learned to sew 41 years ago and have recently picked it up again Due to memory loss from a coma and having MS its like starting from the beginning I don't remember much and you also have a new subscriber

[@Lisamakes]

Thanks for subscribing, Alexandria! I’m glad to hear you are getting back into sewing! Step by step you will get back to where you were and have a wonderful hobby to enjoy. ❤️

[@michellepark778]

Great selection, thanks :)

[@Lisamakes]

My pleasure!

[@nommh]

Downloaded the imby top before I finished watching. Thank you so much!

[@Lisamakes]

It’s so pretty, isn’t it?

[@nancynewman6592]

Great list of patterns :)

[@Lisamakes]

Thanks, Nancy!

[@andreajustice4476]

Great list, thanks! I have a few of these already and will picking a few more up to fill holes in my closet. 😊

[@Lisamakes]

Glad it was helpful!

[@annawesemann387]

I made the sweet pea top last year and it is really easy to make and I wear it all the time so can really recommend ❤

[@Lisamakes]

Good to know!

[@soniahinson6372]

Excellent video. Fantastic patterns and all free.

[@sewsarahstitch]

Amazing resources Lisa, thank you - I will have to rewatch your vlog later as I was busy downloading some of the patterns straight away!! x

[@Lisamakes]

I’m so glad!

[@jeanzhsewing]

The Core T is a TNT for me. I'd definitely recommend! Nice to see some free patterns I've not heard of before. I'm looking forward to checking them out!

[@Lisamakes]

Amazing! I’m glad I found some new ones.

[@dorothytomniuk4106]

Really great vlog. Going to check all the patterns out!

[@Lisamakes]

Thanks! Enjoy.

[@tinasuarez]

I’ve made the Galena and it’s a very flattering and fun dress. It’s easy to and quick to sew too. Definitely a fave of mine.

[@Lisamakes]

Good to know!

[@pollydolly9723]

I am totally getting the harem pants and most of the free tshirts. Thanks Lisa. BTW - Fabricland is about to open a store at Bloor and Yonge - just a crabscuttle away from me! #yyz #yay

[@Lisamakes]

Wow! That’s amazing they’re opening such a central location. Jealous! Go for me! Lol

[@glittergrandma]

Wonderful selection of patterns. Brilliant, so many looks/ choices from these awesome patterns. Many thanks for a great video that’s full of inspiration.

[@Lisamakes]

So glad you enjoyed it, Jackie!

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

Wonderful list! Definitely will be checking out your picks. I’ve never heard of some of the sites! Thank you

[@Lisamakes]

Amazing!

[@user-zz1wt6io4p]

I love all the patterns.

[@katrinalevin4064]

A nice capsule collection.

[@Lisamakes]

Thanks, Katrina!

[@Dranma51]

I like that you’re going to re-purpose your Gilbert top! As sewists I think it’s important to be as sustainable as possible! It’s a good color for you too!

[@Lisamakes]

Agreed! I absolutely love the fabric- I don’t want it to just hang in the closet!

[@pattykingkade5778]

Thank you! This is a great video.

[@Lisamakes]

Glad you liked it!

[@MadeByTriniLena]

Wow awesome patterns, sew appreciate you🌸

[@Lisamakes]

Thanks, Arlene! Yes, the girls are huge! We are well- hope you are, too!

Hi! At the beginning of the video, what is the mustard dress second from the left at the top?

[@Lisamakes]

That is one of the ones I linked in the Patreon article. www.sewmag.co.uk/templates/sew-152-august-21-eloisa-multi-make

[@mhcpa0628]

Great info here! Thanks so sew much. New here to your channel. I'm plus size and going on a cruise. Is there a simple swim suit cover up pattern to make with gauze that you recommend?. It can be a simple pull over short dress or a kimono style. And peeps, where do you recommend delicious gauze fabric?. I'm in America. Joann is an hour away so I don't mind ordering online.

[@Lisamakes]

Welcome, welcome! I love this tutorial for a beech Cover-Up- looks simple and so chic sweetredpoppy.com/learn-how-to-sew-an-easy-swimsuit-coverup-joann/

[@M-hc9xm]

I bought some nice double gauze from Joann's. It came in 54" wide. Sewed up great after washing and drying.

[@Lisamakes]

Amazing!

[@kat_thefruitbat]

These are great- thanks for sharing! 😍❤ I’m glad to see Grasser Patterns is still around- I really like their patterns! They had to take down their Etsy shop awhile back (due war related complications), and I haven’t checked in awhile to see if they have it back up again, but I’m glad to see their website is available! 😊

[@Sophia-zk3tw]

I can’t seem to find a navy blue ribbed knit fabric do you have any suggestions I live in United States California ?

[@Lisamakes]

Hmmm, I’m Canadian living in Spain so I’m not familiar with American suppliers. You could try Blackbird Fabrics who had good shipping to the US.

[@LaineyBug2020]

Lol, now all I need is free fabric and a free sewing machine!

[@Lisamakes]

If you are in the State or Canada, check “Freecycle” or free give/trade groups on FB.

[@LaineyBug2020]

@@Lisamakes that's a great idea!

[@Bernietheoc]

👏👗

[@andreabush1742]

Gish great patterns but you went so fast through them it was hard to enjoy

[@Lisamakes]

I’m sorry to hear that! I had a lot to fit in. :) hopefully you clicked through to some of the patterns for a closer look.
