Sew With Me - Closet Core Kalle Shirt - Part 1

[@GraceMccall]

This is the best sewalong I've ever followed. Sometimes It's hard to see the right/wrong side on some tutorials but you really talk through this carefully, not making any assumptions about whether people can work it out. Thanks for taking the time. I was kind of losing my sewjo but a good sewalong can bring it back.

[@DevonThreadTales]

Aahh that is so kind of you - I’m so pleased it has been helpful. Hope you’re see Jo comes back 🥰

[@hollyuloth9774]

This was so helpful. I couldn't wrap my brain around the burrito method and you did it for me! Thanks so much!

[@karennorris8635]

Thank you for such a great tutorial, you explain everything so well. I’m looking forward to part 2!

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it 🥰❤️

[@fuchsiacherryblossom]

You are a great teacher! Thank you for this video! I learned a lot!

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much, that's so kind of you. Really glad you enjoyed it 😊❤️

[@lorieburtt592]

Great video! That little red ball on your unpicker/seam ripper has another use, too. Once you’ve ripped enough stitches to slip your unpicker under them, slip it in with the red ball end to the underside. You can then run it down a whole length of stitching, and the red ball will prevent it getting caught on your fabric, so it won’t cause any holes or tears. It’s very quick when you need to rip out a long seam. ❤️

[@DevonThreadTales]

Oooohhh my goodness, that is so amazing - thank you so much, I love this tip 🥰

[@debrasaltman1437]

Excellent! (As expected ) ,,,on to part 2 👍

[@DevonThreadTales]

Aaaahh thank you so much ❤️

[@lorettaaberli3612]

You did a beautiful job on that first shirt. I know this will be beautiful too!

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@SewingBunny]

Lovely sew along for part 1 😁 you go into so much detail it’s lovely and clear 👍

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much - you know how nervous I was about this one 🙈 Really means a lot - thank you 🥰

[@nancywilliams3454]

Great video Angela 😁 I'm going to have to have a go at doing a yoke on my next shirt now, you've made it look so much easier, your explaining of how to do the burrito way was really good. Thank you, looking forward to watching the next installment xx

[@DevonThreadTales]

Yesssss 😂 You can do it! That's so great - I hope you have lots of success. Thank you so much 🥰

[@Made_by_Julia]

Angela, just say a big thanks for all the work you do! All the process of sewing, recording, editing... Thanks a ton! I really enjoy your videos, lady ☺️

[@DevonThreadTales]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much! 🥰

[@consolw]

69 yrs old and still learning things, had no clue what the little ball on the unpicker was for!😮 Thank you for that and for a lovely video, cant wait to see the second half. May make this shirt myself!

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much - that's so kind of you to say. 🥰

[@janen5448]

What an amazing sew a long. I have learnt so much and really enjoyed it. I can’t wait to watch part 2. Thank you so much 😊

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@janspenno2241]

@@DevonThreadTales I’m just re watching and I’m totally confused with left and right sides. Wonder if you can help. I’ll give you an example....

[@ajs6700]

Great tutorial thank you

[@DevonThreadTales]

You’re welcome 😊

[@shaidabegum.]

💯👌Wow. I'm so proud of you, i have been watching/following you from the beginning. Beautifully presented, explained and neat Stitches.

[@DevonThreadTales]

Aaaaahh - wow, thank you so much, that is so incredibly kind of you 🥰

[@Ohcarol912]

This is a fabulous tutorial, would love it if you would do more but I know they are time consuming. 😊

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much - I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. I will be trying to do one a month 🤞🏼 x

[@sueaddelsee3027]

Thank you so much for the tip on how to place and mark the buttons, I’ve just finished the Nina Lee Kew dress and this was so handy

[@DevonThreadTales]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much 🥰

[@jackiesippitt8019]

This is fantastic - I have learnt so much! I have this pattern to make and you have made each step really clear and explicit. I love your version with the lowered hem line. Ready to watch part 2 now. Thanks, Angela!

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much, I'm so pleased you've enjoyed it and found it helpful 🥰💕

[@pinkpaulasews4929]

Angela, thank you so much. I think this is the best sew along ever and you've given me the confidence to get cracking on the Kalle as I've had the pattern and beautiful fabric for ages but been too nervous x

[@DevonThreadTales]

Wonderful! That's so great, you can definitely do it. Thank you so much! 🥰

[@thebarefootsewer711]

Brilliant, thank you 🙏 😁

[@DevonThreadTales]

You’re welcome 😊

[@magsohara7908]

Great tutorial Angela You’ve put lots of thought into this. Love the “time stamp” too (have seen one of the US knitters do this). Kettle on ready to watch part 2 now ☕️ btw. Love both of your fabrics 🤓🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@DevonThreadTales]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much! 🥰

[@lottiebiscottie3798]

Such a detailed tutorial! I learnt so much! Could you let me know where you got your pinking shears as the ones I’ve got are not good cutters? Never fancied this shirt because of the raised hem at the front, but love your adaptation and now I’m inspired to have a go at this pattern. I’m about to start cutting out the Gilbert shirt so a lot of your techniques are also relevant to the Gilbert. Thank you!

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much - so glad you enjoyed it 🥰 I just bought mine from Amazon - and I have to say they are beautifully sharp - I love them ❤️ www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07VG4SJ4D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Good luck with your Gilbert - I'm off to look that pattern up now ❤️

[@eunicefrady6360]

Thanks for great sew along. What brand is you cutting mat?

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much - my cutting mat is an Ansio - I just bought it from Amazon. Hope that helps x

[@evasaker2476]

You are very good at making tutorials! 👏👏👏 I was just wondering about how you construct the pocket.... Your fabric is the same on both sides so the bit with the point looks right when you turn it over, but what if you have a ”wrong” side of the fabric? Then that will show.... or is it supposed to be an effect? I thought maybe you can do it the other way around and only the pointed stitching will be the effect.

[@DevonThreadTales]

Yes, I believe that would then have the wrong side facing you, which would be an affect. But like you say, if I wasn't keen on how that looked, I would just stitch it the other way around. Hope that helps. Thank you so much! 🥰

[@jeslynlim6694]

Hi! May i know for the button plackets on the right front, do u use the part that u trim off or fr the pattern? I used the 'K part on the pattern but it turn out to be very small. '

[@DevonThreadTales]

Hia, the section that you cut off - you don't use at all, it is a separate piece that you attach. I hope that this helps 🥰

[@janspenno2241]

Hello me again. I’m a bit confused..wonder if you can help? At 30.03 you say you’re going to attach it to the left side. At 30.15 your attaching to the right side. Think I had that issue earlier too. Just going to watch again

[@DevonThreadTales]

Oh my goodness, I've just watched that bit back!!!! You're totally right, I say two things, but I am attaching it to the right side of the shirt. The side that we have cut a strip off of! I hope that makes sense, I'm so sorry for the error! Thank you 🥰

[@Jayemceetee]

Fab,

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you ❤️

[@anessaharris9947]

😀

[@DevonThreadTales]

🥰

[@janspenno2241]

I bought this pattern but don’t know why as the pattern front is most unattractive. Your make is wonderful and that makes me want to make it!

[@DevonThreadTales]

😂 Thank you so much! 🥰
