Hi, fantastic video with oodles of inspiration thank you, But I do wish you wouldn’t fret about how long the videos are and feel you have to rush, we are here because we want to hear about all this stuff 😊. It must take such a lot of time and effort the least we can do is appreciate it thanks again 😊

[@kah597]

I agree. Too long is NOT a problem! Thank you for all the work you put into creating these videos.

[@mellie4174]

Exactly!

[@alig8530]

I support this!😀

[@majenamafe5221]

Me tooo I love a long yarn

[@TheFoldLine]

😂😂😂 Ok noted I won't worry about a long one next time!

[@shivaunmccullough]

I love this video and the fact that you're connecting our sewing to the retail world and the trends out there. Such a useful and lovely video!

[@UltimateCarnivalPkg]

LOVE your trend names Kate! Thanks for the giggles...

[@TheFoldLine]

It's always fun coming up with them :)

[@moneal99801]

Love these Trends videos. This one especially.

[@TheFoldLine]

Glad to hear it :)

[@MsSherrydarling]

I'm here in Victoria, BC Canada, drinking a London Fog and watching to get some fall inspiration 😊

[@TheFoldLine]

A wonderful drink!! A favourite of mine :) Louise xx

[@CrazyAuntVal]

That truly was bloody brilliant and hopelessly inspiring! I am "hopelessly" because all those ideas swimming round in my head now are doing battle with the little devil sitting on my left shoulder whispering, "And you're going to wear that *where*?" But sometimes we sew &/or knit for actual *wearing* reasons, and sometimes we create out of the absolute *need* to create something beautiful. It looks as though the latter option is going to win out this time. 😘

[@jennifermaddock4382]

I love these videos. They're never too long for me and I always look forward to them.

[@judithholleran6423]

Greetings from Rhode Island, USA. EXCELLENT VIDEO. THANK YOU FOR THE DETAILED WORK YOU HAVE DONE IN THIS VIDEO!!

[@TheFoldLine]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@lynette.]

You gave so much detail with such clarity like having a personal shopper taking the phaff out pattern hunting. Thank you.

[@TheFoldLine]

That's lovely to hear, thank you! :)

[@michellerudhall2831]

Absolutely wonderful - found it so useful and inspirational. Saved me loads of time scouring the internet and the shops, which can leave me feeling overwhelmed. I didn’t find the video too long!!

[@TheFoldLine]

Glad it was helpful!

[@annebrown886]

What a treat, I loved this Kate 😀 sew the trends, saving all that trekking around the shops, ideas to sew and fabrics to use and having patterns I know I can reuse and wear previous makes and be on trend plus a 30minute video as well, what a great start to the day, really looking forward to autumn sewing plans but now where to start as so inspired ✂️🧵🪡 x

[@TheFoldLine]

I am so pleased we could help!

[@madebykarenmarie]

Love this! I think it is great when the industry actually make clothes for us "normal people" and things that won't go out of style in a season. More sustainable, both for the environment and your finances :) So glad I made the Fibre Mood Hunter coat last year. Looks like I'll be in style this winter.. haha. Thanks Kate!

[@TheFoldLine]

The Hunter coat is SOOO great and perfect for this winter too!

[@juliabouy]

I want to mak the hunter coat too. it seems like it might take me 12 months to make though ha

[@madebykarenmarie]

@@juliabouy Haha. It actually wasn't too bad. The Fibre Mood instructions were not great, but I found a video on KZbin, and I used some of the techniques I learned from sewing the Heather blazer (Friday pattern co. has an excellent sewalong there). I think I spent two or three nights sewing the Hunter. I have used it for two seasons now, and I am still in love with it.

[@cindyw4278]

Going to look these patterns up and make plans

[@TheFoldLine]

Eeeeee! Exciting :)

[@barbarahelgaker390]

Love these videos when you look at the high street and then go through possible patterns Just so inspiring!

[@TheFoldLine]

Ahh thanks Barbara

[@mysewingpractice]

three thumbs up! I love this video, it's not a problem at all that it is long as it is the best reference for us! Thanks, thank-you , thanks a lot !

[@htilley8971]

Awesome video, Kate, thanks so much! Very informative and inspiring…. Your videos could never be too long!! ✂️

[@seeit.sewit.sorted6255]

Great selection Kate, i'm actually looking forward to Autumn for the first time!!!

[@mandygreen3568]

Absolutely loved this. What fabulous inspiration - I’ve made a list now of what I want to sew for autumn winter. Thank you 😊

[@juliadroy1179]

Wow some lovely patterns xx

[@lindanorris7240]

Thank you for taking the time to do these kind of videos. Like the way you pair the clothing with the patterns

[@carolmichell4860]

I absolutely love the precision of making a crisp cotton shirt. Thanks for more inspiration.

[@TheFoldLine]

Glad you like it!

[@gemmanonymous5739]

Thank you for this. The trends don't seem much like "trends" at the moment, more wardrobe workhorses that you could wear and wear. I'm in favour of it (and the beauty of being a maker: I can supply some frivolity if I want)!

[@mellie4174]

Oh no... It's a trend. It's the 90s revisited. .. except that it's ALL oversized which i hate because it just makes me look like a box! I will definitely not be in trend this season lol!

[@gemmanonymous5739]

@@mellie4174 ah- I was a teenager in the 90s so maybe that's why it seems less trend-led to me (I think part of me has decided that that's just what clothes look like!).

[@pollydolly9723]

Thank you so much for all your work on this Kate! I obviously should have kept all of my teenage clothing from the 1970s (although what would I wear on my other half? LOL). Appreciate your research, and I will add that your print service is fab if anyone was wondering!

[@TheFoldLine]

Thank you that is lovely to hear and I'm so pleased you are keeping Brenda (our printer) busy!

[@sarahpatedaniell619]

Wonderful view of the Autumn Trends....Thank you

[@debrariley2057]

Another excellent round up of patterns, thank you for taking the time to share all your suggestions.

[@christinelucciardi2411]

Merci beaucoup Excellent travail- tellement bien documenté. J’adore et je sens que je vais ressortir ma machine à coudre avant que mes doigts ne soient trop froids pour coudre. Quelques propositions pour le home wear pourraient aussi être bien utiles 🧊🧊🧊. Des sélections de tissus en ligne à nous proposer ? Merci merci 🌸🌸🌸

[@mariarobertson3725]

Fabulous, Kate! Informative and entertaining 🤗

[@ladylouise1969]

Great assessment! Love the patterns you chose- I would only add one more-when you were talking "turtlenecks"-one I love the Itch to Stitch": "Hepburn" I've sewn this multiple times, and our granddaughter loves them as well-she's 31, and we share a "passion for fashion" so to speak. I do sew for her-but she also receives things I no can longer wear! I might be old, but your only as young as you feel-especially when donning your 'look"! Thank you, and have a great weekend! :+)

[@TheFoldLine]

Oh yes that's a great pattern too!

[@ladylouise1969]

Yes all things,” Itch to Stitch” r fabulous!

[@jenniferewart]

Thank you so much Kate, that was a lot of work for you but so well put together.So many great ideas and I will definitely be looking at all the layering possibilities , I just love a polo neck sweater in the winter and an oversized shirt so thanks for the heads up on that !!!

[@TheFoldLine]

They are classics you can wear again and again!

[@annhewison8989]

I hate shopping so these videos are great for me. Thank you Kate.,

Excellent. My denim shirt dress is almost done, I have the Cosmos top and matching skirt in a petrol blue waffle knit on the list next and just have to choose a pattern for a turtleneck dress in navy rib knit. I didn't even know I was planning to be on trend:)

[@TheFoldLine]

Hurrah that's even better when you realise you are!

[@palomaplazas1]

Fantastic video l. Thanks for so much information. I now have so many ideas.

[@magenta0225]

So excited about this falls fashions. Versatile for any age & size! Thanks Kate

[@marilynglenn-adair537]

Great video! Good job connecting ready to wear to patterns!

[@TheFoldLine]

Glad you liked it!

[@kadairh]

Thanks great video and loved at least 3 patterns from that, the longer video time the better!

[@blufaerie]

So many great options! I’d definitely recommend a walking foot for the slippery fabrics. It was a lifesaver recently!

[@TheFoldLine]

Great tip!!

[@user-dg7kg9qd6m]

Thank you Kate this has helped me no end

[@lynne4870]

Thankyou, a really great review with lots of ideas. I love the Tilly shirt x

[@HeatherMouse]

Love these videos! Don't fear about them being long, they are such a treasure trove of interesting inspiration between the trends, styling ideas, thinking about my existing wardrobe, pattern suggestions etc.

[@TheFoldLine]

That's great to hear! Planning sewing projects can be just as fun as the actual sewing bit!

[@amybates7438]

I love these videos! That was a corker, loads of inspiration and I really enjoyed it! Thank you!! X

[@TheFoldLine]

Thanks so much! 😊

This is wonderful, thank you! I was looking for a perfect coat pattern for fall, you've given just what I was looking for!

[@sheilaokelly6022]

Thank you. That was really helpful.

[@barblawrie9328]

Love this. Thank you

[@elainemarsh2656]

Thanks for the video, never realised there were so many new pattern companies, that's good news for us who like to keep an eye on current trends. Must admit I've usually stuck to Vogue or McCalls for classics. I'm looking for inspiration, I have a length of moss/dark green tweedy medium weight, material it was destined for a tailored jacket but I can't make my mind up to go with that or add a thicker inner lining and use another pattern that is styled in a Parka type.....more casual style, probably more useful for winter. I don't want it to date though.

[@TheFoldLine]

I think you'd get lots of wear out of either. Parkas are always stylish and very useful to own!

[@HeartlandKnitsAndSews]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. The Sew the Trends are always my fav's. Such great information clearly presented. Well done.

[@thegirlwithdustonherface]

The Clare Coat by Closet Core is very similar to the & Other Stories outer jacket piece. They show it without sleeves on their website! Great video!

[@TheFoldLine]

YES - thank you I knew there was another one but couldn't remember it!

[@karolmolpus9536]

Well done 👍

[@andreabush1742]

I love your Sew the Trends videos! Ws that tour baby making cute baby noises in the background at the beginning? So cute

[@TheFoldLine]

Haaa busted-I had to take my unglamorous assistant with me this time!

[@alexandrabattaglini9448]

This was amazing. I’m super inspired to sew for fall. Thank you for all of your work on this!!!

[@ClaireWhoMakesThings]

Really enjoyable video Kate.

[@lesleybaker29]

Really enjoyed this video, very inspired by what you found out there. You did the hard work for me! X

[@rosierycroft166]

Thanks Kate lots of fabulous ideas which has got my mind whirling!! Any trouser or skirt trends that stood out?

[@TheFoldLine]

Rosie I'm so sorry I left out trousers, honestly, there weren't any core trends on trousers. Literally every style you can think of was in the shops, so I'd say anything goes. BUT if you are brave.. leather trousers were everywhere!

[@janevellenderartist]

Excellent video, very inspiring

[@karenmiller3300]

Great video…thank you! So many good ideas !

[@marleenlanoye8966]

The Sage jumper ( rather tight ) of La Maison Victor is a very good turtle neck version. And thans for all the work done for us. The new Soi shirt dress seems à good alternative, isn´it?

[@TheFoldLine]

yes that would be another fab option for a shirt dress!

[@marycurtis4210]

Absolutely fantastic!!!

[@katep2382]

Thanks, brilliant video with loads of inspiration. I'm now gearing up to attempt a coat👍

[@TheFoldLine]

You can do it!

[@drhelenloney1426]

Epic! I really enjoyed this, thanks for the work!

[@juliemulie1805]

Thank you for this study. Big involved coat projects alway pay off and usually last much longer in my closet than trending styles. Nice to see you highlight these. They are "worth a go", like you say!

[@TheFoldLine]

I totally agree and actually they aren't harder to sew just have more stages!

[@carolinecoleman9660]

Thank you - really interesting and inspiring!

[@sewonsister]

Thank you! So fun to watch!

[@VeretenoVids]

I learned a thing today--I had no idea that what we in the US call a turtleneck is called a polo neck in the UK. I suddenly realized that there have been some things I've read and totally mentally pictured the wrong style of garment! I nearly choked when you gave the price of the green shearling jacket. Obviously not in my current lifetime!

[@TheFoldLine]

We do have quite a few different terms for things, don't we! :)

[@didaburrell1882]

Love these vlogs, thank you Kate! Off the plan my makes 😁

[@buzzi2k]

Interesting watching this a year later! Still useful. I try to sew so as not to engage with the trends in the shops so this is perhaps even better 😄

[@amierikke6225]

This was great! I must say as a viewer from the US, I learned your term of “polo” collar, we call a turtle neck. A polo to us is a pullover, knit/jersey shirt with a knit collar and buttons half way down, a whole style of shirt or dress, not just a collar. I was all kinds of confused until I googled it, lol! Anyway, wonderful video. I love these types of videos. ❤️

[@VariationsOnASeam]

I've tried making the knit dress and while they've turned out well, they aren't flattering on my backside. Anyone have fabric suggestions that wouldn't accentuate every lump and bump?

[@gemmanonymous5739]

Hi CoconutKetty, I guess if the fabric has some pattern or texture it might help. I tend to size up for a smoother line too.

[@juliemulie1805]

Just the nature of knit. It's why I bought some opaque tights with control top for this style. Warmer too.

[@TheFoldLine]

Fabrication for this is key and annoyingly it's a bit of trial and error. Slightly thicker jersey's are a bit more forgiving, and I tend to size up. Jersey patterns are cut with a negative ease (because of the stretch) so you can go up a size without noticing too much. Another option would be to alter the size for the bottom half of the dress so it clings less. I hope that helps a little!

[@louisethompson2861]

Great video Kate! Thanks for putting in the hard work to make something so enjoyable.

[@alig8530]

Hi Kate - i am looking for something like the classic Liesl shirt but without a bust dart. I got this amazing printed silk fabric that has a Klimt like image and will have to work hard to match the pattern and don’t want to disturb it with a dart. I typically do have to do a slight full bust adjustment. What would you recommend?

[@TheFoldLine]

thefoldline.com/product/the-modern-sewing-co-classic-shirt/ this might be a good option?

[@natasha4467]

Thanks for the great video, are trousers still wide leg for this winter?

[@TheFoldLine]

We are thinking it might be the season of the trouser for sewists as there have been quite a lot of new releases. So far, lots of them still seem to go for the wide leg silhouette :)
