Sew Along Simplicity S9469

[@kimberlywiley7727]

Thanks for actually doing sew-a-long. I have become more skeptical of reviews saying what an easy sew this is. Not necessarily for a beginner. Beautiful fabric.

[@lesleyalex6953]

Excellent, easy to follow instructions very clear and precise. Thank you for posting.

[@michaelag9642]

Just found you this morning, think I need this top pattern, after watching your fabulous easy to follow video x

[@MassonLifestyle]

It’s a great pattern!

[@deeparness6052]

Luv’d your sew a long And the fabric you chose’ I would’ve like to see more pics of your blouse! And a review of how you Found the fit etc. . . Look forward to your next Project 😊

[@MassonLifestyle]

Hi Dee, there should be more pictures of my blouse on the blog. I got the fabric at Vogue's Fabric. I think (I think!) I put in a link if not on the sew along but there has to be one on my blog. I also did a review for it on Sewing Pattern Review. its a great pattern, don't miss out on it. Cheers!

[@sueheartscrafts3738]

Such a cute top and thanks so much for the tutorial! 👍🏼

[@HomeCentsWithNell]

Thank you for this tutorial. I bought this pattern to make a top for my daughter, and now I have help...lol

[@MassonLifestyle]

you will be very happy you got it

[@marylusk8287]

Thank you for this sew along the fabric you chose is beautiful would have loved to see you model it at the end, Alex, you are so talented.

[@MassonLifestyle]

Mary, another viewer had the same comment. I suspect that you tube is slipping an ad video in there before it shows you the pictures of me!! They are in there. I also posted them on my blog.

[@yolandapinkney-jordan9211]

Thank you for sharing your expertise. I must admit, I was not impressed with this patter, but your BEAUTIFUL fabric made me want to purchase. Thank you.

[@allisonpearce4543]

[@deonuacid]

This is the best sew along I’ve seen. Thank you!!!

[@sharoncrawford6450]

I really appreciated this sew along. I have this pattern and will be making it very soon. You gave me some good tips! Your blouse turned out beautifully. Thanks 👗🧵🪡🥰

[@consuelocampbell5659]

Thank you so much for an awesome tutorial! I have my pattern and fabric and ready to go, though now I have to make two as my daughter was watching and wants one as well! Off to get more fabric! Thanks again! Keep the tutorials coming 🙂

[@karlawallace1633]

Thanks and that color medley looks great on you!

[@MassonLifestyle]

Thanks! I’m not gonna lie I was a little worried because it’s a lot of pink and fuchsia going on but I think I was able to pull it off.

[@jmanonmakes]

Such a great tutorial. Thank you so much! Going to check out your other tutorials now!

[@MassonLifestyle]

Thanks! If you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out.

[@Nonna_Tina]

Thanks for the sew along. I bought this pattern a few weeks ago. It looks really nice on you.

[@albacruzbetancourt5256]

Beautiful fabric and great tutorial! Got the pattern hoping to make one soon. Thanks! 😁

[@mariasoler7826]

Your tutorials are fantastic. Would be nice if you would say what type of fabric you are using each time and also would love to see you model your creation at the end so we can see how it looks on. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@MassonLifestyle]

Hi Maria, I suspect that You Tube put an ad after I talked at the end (drives me bananas when they do this!), I usually say "stay tuned for pictures" in case they DO add in ads, which it sounds like they did this time around. Anyhow, there are pictures of me wearing the top at the very end of the video. I also posted some in my blog too in case you want to see them. As far as the fabric, its a rayon challis from Vogue Fabrics. I don't see it anywhere listed on their site as its something I bought off their shelves.

[@brendaweaver251]

Thank you for your excellent presentation! I feel inspired

[@patriciaw8879]

I love the tutorial and the fabric choice where did you get your fabric

[@MassonLifestyle]

I got it at Vogue Fabrics in Evanston, IL. It is not listed on their website BUT I’ve seen it there when I visited about a month ago. Perhaps send them a picture (they do answer their emails) and see if they can ship it.

[@arlenemurphy804]

Nice job

[@dortega787]

Love it. Los colores 😍. Ya voy a empezar con la mía gracias por el tutorial

[@MassonLifestyle]

De nada!

[@cathykieser53]

I just picked this pattern up, you inspired me to make it. I've watched your sew alongs before, you give great information and so helpful. Only one issue I have is that you don't show the fit enough at the end to give us an idea how it really looks, please save more time for that at the end. Thanks and happy Sewing

[@MassonLifestyle]

Hi Cathy, I will leave the pictures up for longer (so thanks for letting me know!), they are also on my blog.

[@LuzMartinez-if1dw]

That came out soooooo pretty 🤩 I have to say that your tutorials are the best so clear on every step , you are by far the best at teaching love it , and thank you soooo much 💐🌷🌺🌸🌹🤗

[@MassonLifestyle]

Thank you Luz!

[@dawnaholmes5972]

Your blouse came out fabulous! Love the fabric you used. I made this pattern already but I found the front and back were off in length by about 1and 1/2 inches! This was longer on the front piece and after adjusting, my blouse was pretty short. Did you find this to be so also? I cut out the C/D version. Thanks for the tutorial--I really enjoyed it.

[@MassonLifestyle]

Dawna I cut my pieces because it felt a tad too long for me, so I wonder if I missed seeing that when I cut the pieces. I may have to go back and make it again! Which I’m going to do!

[@maureencapobianco3596]

It came out so pretty! Would you say there is a lot of ease? I’m petite and I sometimes find the big 4 patterns swim on me.

[@MassonLifestyle]

I wouldn't say it has TONS of ease like other Big 4 patterns. Ive seen some that have like 10" of ease and that's ridiculous. But this has around 4" of ease around the bust. and around 8 to 10" of ease around the waist. It also doesn't have a dart so I think that is what gives it that ease around the waist and hips.

[@lifesbanquet4501]

What happened to the interfacing?

[@MassonLifestyle]

Hi, both the front and back facing pieces are interfaced. I mentioned both of these that need interfacing when I go thru each pattern piece. My fabric is lightweight so the interfacing I used is lightweight to match the weight of the fabric. Hope that helps.

[@brendaweaver251]

Im a newbie so stay stitching is a long length with little tension?

[@MassonLifestyle]

Stay stitching is a straight stitches and it’s done so your fabric doesn’t stretch while you are sewing. You should always lock your stitches at the start and ending.

[@MassonLifestyle]

Forgot to say, you do need tension on them.

[@ksomers6]

What fabric did you use for this?

[@MassonLifestyle]

This is a rayon challis, I bought it at Vogue Fabrics in Evanston.

[@MassonLifestyle]

Forgot to add, I tried finding a link on their site for this exact print but I couldn’t find one.

[@cynthiadippel9675]

Just bought that pattern on Monday, during JoAnn's president day sale for a $1.99.

[@MassonLifestyle]

Its a good one!
