Sewalong-Itch To Stitch Lago Tank

[@loriannpayne4483]

I love the way you teach Andrea! Hugs from Oregon.

[@jeannettehirst5489]

Omg have just got my tank top back out of the bin, unpicked it and followed your instructions 😊 it worked! Thank you very much indeed X

[@eaeaea555]

As someone who hasn't used a pattern in a VERY long time, this sewalong was so very helpful! Thanks.

[@marigoldmirror5194]

Excellent sew along ! Thank you from Texas, USA.

[@kathrynmeldrum523]

Thank you very much for this sew-along Andrea 😊 You helped me make my first knit fabric top ever 🙏🏼💗🌈

[@helenweatherby1694]

Great tutorial, as always. I want that pincushion!!

[@carolyngethings]

Good tip about sewing the shoulder seams. Thanks for filming the sew along.

[@Golfgirlv]

Lovely top! I always enjoy your sew alongs

[@happydogshandmade4680]

Thanks Andrea…..I always learn something from your sewalongs…..keep up all the excellent work sweetheart xxx

[@Silver_Threads_Sewing]

You are just awesome. I enjoy your tutorial so much. So happy your back for sewing vlogs again.

[@TheHaymeadow]

Andrea, I have to ‘78th’ the other calls for sew alongs. You’re instruction style, pace, tips and hints are excellent, clear and concisely explained. I’m so pleased you’ve done this simple sew, as there is so much helpful information for newbie sewists where they can see and understand what you’re doing. I can try bagging up some of our hours and send them backward to you, so you can gain the time you need to make more😉 (I hope that makes sense 🤣🤣).

[@elainebyrne3081]

Thanks for sharing this sewalong Andrea, I love your Frida blouse.

[@debrariley2057]

Thank you for the sewalong they really are terrific, so calm so informative so clear and generally helpful.

[@marieg2815]

I’ve had this printed out for ages. I think I’ll go ahead with it now.

[@mcallan5782]

You really should do more sewalongs- you are very clear and it’s all well explained. Really enjoyed it. By the way, what is the blouse you’re wearing, it’s gorgeous and I’m assuming it’s hand made? Xx

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Time is the only thing that stops me doing sewalongs . They take a full day to film and edit . It’s a Frida blouse from Atelier Jupe

[@4snkhouse]

So glad I found this. I’ve been wanting to make tank tops and I have struggled with the bindings as well. You made such a difference! Thank you

[@fuchsiacherryblossom]

Great tips again! Could you also show us how you do the serging in the round?

[@annieoconnor9778]

Really enjoyed your sew a long, I’m a visual learner, so for me this tutorial is perfect, I also loved your vlog on the Acacia Knicker, thank you 🙏🏻

[@montezbrown2461]

You are excellent at teaching!

[@judithaltoft4690]

Your sewalongs are great Andrea, they are so detailed, im going to try the lago top and will keep referring back to your sewalong to get it right for me, thankyou x

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Thank you for the lovely compliment xx

[@blueoctopus6]

Would love to see more sew alongs from you. You are very clear and go into more detail than most. Can I just ask what setting you use for your zigzag? And could you also do a close up coverstitch video please?

[@Densewl]

Thank you for this great sew-along. Like others, I already have this pattern printed out, but haven't got around to sewing it yet. Loved your tip on how to match the shoulder seams!

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Glad you enjoyed it Denise

[@Zzzzzzzzz216]

Very helpful Andrea, thank you so much. I learn a lot from these sew alongside that aren’t speeded up, from how you handle the fabric, how fast you sew, feeding the fabric through the machine: things experience brings. I also love how you explain things.

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

I’m so pleased you found the sewalong helpful. Thank you

[@newcreations1064]

Thank you Andrea,i always enjoy your sew alongs,you explain so clearly.xx

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Thank you Jean xx

[@lynnhunter5790]

Thx Andrea. Why have I never worked out the trick with sewing the shoulder seams before. So obvious once I’d seen yours 😳👍xx

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

It works well doesn’t it . Xx

[@alisonwilliams5355]

Great sew along, so clear & explanations super. I think I need to get this pattern now. Thank you Andrea.😊

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

You’re welcome Ali x

[@marygreen7225]

Hi Andrea, really good sew a long as always. I have just printed this pattern so ideal timing. Thank you.

[@Ali.S.25]

Thank you so much for this sew along! I've had this cut out for ages and hadn't made it. I think the arm bindings intimidated me for some reason. Now I'm going to sew it up this week. The tip about the shoulder seams was great. It's something that bothered me in the past, but I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Mystery solved! I just used your Toaster Sweater sew along last week and it was very helpful. Really appreciate the work you put into these.

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

You’re very welcome. I’m so happy to help 😊

[@karengrace4641]

Excellent video Andrea. I loved the tip about sewing the shoulder seams . I already have the pattern printed out and you've given me the confidence to have a go , thanks x

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Ah that’s super Karen , it’s a brilliant pattern

[@carolynswardrobe534]

Hi Andrea, Tx for introducing this pattern to me x I always wear a tank top underneath my clothes. Now I can make my own which is great x Great video as always x

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

It’s a great one if you like layering up.

[@tanyaellis5433]

Wow Andrea that is perfect and was really explained well for us all. I love your sew alongs. You are excellent at what you do. I have difficulty piecing PDFS together and get really mithered and stick the wrong ones together. lol. However, I am going to try with this one. I always wear a top under my blouses. Thank you xx

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

I love these tops under my blouses snd sweatshirts . So happy you found it useful to watch Tanya

[@patriciaryan9953]

Great sew along, sew relaxing, absolutely going to make this , it’s a great pyjamas top too for summer, please do a sew along for the TATB Pearl cardigan, and discuss fabric for it on Sunday, if you can 😀.

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Glad you enjoyed it. Yes the pearl cardigan is going to a topic for Sunday . I got some perfect fabrics delivered for it this week

[@dianebeal4216]

I love the print on your fabric.

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Thank you , it’s cute

[@julieottaway177]

I love all your tips thank you x

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

You are very welcome 🤗 xx

[@aileenyoung6999]

Great instructions very clear and well explained.

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

That’s great to know , thank you 😊

[@suek7086]

I am glad to hear you say to iron as you go. I had that stressed to me when I was young and when I do it I am happy but if I slack off I am never satisfied.

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

I feel the same Sue , having the iron turned on is part of my sewing set up

[@julieryles7461]

Just found this sew along thank you so much. The query i have is why does it say cut mirror image for the neck band & not just cut 2 bands?

[@jacquieblacquiere5186]

Its amazing how there is always something new to learn! Offsetting the shoulder seams ... so simple, yet it makes such a difference! And I am about to start putting together a Love Notions LDT tank, so it couldn't have come at a better time!

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Ah how fab is that , good timing !! Yes sometimes it’s the small tweaks that make the difference 😊

[@denisemulraney69]

Thank you very much Andrea. I have this half made up. It had trouble with the armholes so abandoned it!,! You have encouraged me to revisit it and finish it. I am looking at coverstitch machines at the moment, wondering which one to get and even if I need one, I have Pfaff expression, it’s 18years old but I live it. It has stitches that I can improvise with plus the twin needle, but I like the finish of the cover stitch. Can you suggest one for me. At the moment I am looking at the brother CV3550. Cheers from Aus.🇦🇺

[@annhewison8989]

Thank you Andrea, I have this pattern but haven't sewn it as I was put off with the bindings. Will definitely be giving it a go after watching this.

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Ah that’s super

[@janenuth3259]

Love it when you do a sealing Andrea. Hope you can do more x

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Delighted you enjoyed it Jane

[@phaedrapotter7175]

Hello Andrea, thank you for this sew along. Love your video as you explain everything so well and its easy to follow. Also the blouse you are wearing is beautiful.

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Thank you , it’s the Atelier Jupe Frida blouse. I love it

[@sbrickett]

I have this pattern also, I have a ton of jersey to use up. I hope you are loving that sewing machine! I have one just like it, only mine is from the 1990’s , I think. It’s old, but it’s sews beautifully. I can hem thick jeans or sew up chiffon without problems. Mine is pink!

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

I love love my machine Sue . I had one of the 90s ones also , I wore it out .. not pink though . They are such brilliant machines .

[@tracyfrost]

Thank you

[@sallystapleton4237]

As always Andrea a fabulous sew along..I think you should do one for every pattern that I want to make..😍 I was on itch to stitch earlier and like the new pattern Azores top and dress that might get my sewjo back..take care xx

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Thank you Sally . Yes I like that pattern too, love shirring . I haven’t done it on this machine yet .

[@yougotmeinstitches1847]

@sallystapleton For every pattern I want to make. . . that made me laugh, haha.

[@carriesnaith4286]

Thanks for a great sewalong. I have just got a cover sewing machine any advice or good KZbin videos you would recommend? Many thanks Carrie

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Congratulations. I did a quick video when mine arrived . It’s on my channel . Also I did the cover stitch course with The Stitch Sisters . Best thing I ever did , I learned so much

[@TheseMamaHands]

Many thanks for the tutorial. I'm new to sewing jersey, can you tell me why you zig zag and then overlock? Could one just serge? Many thanks!

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Just my preference . You could do one or the other.

[@elzinawhite2032]

Excellent tutorial ❤❤One question..I’m a beginner…do you cut the arm and neck bands based on the pattern size.. looking forward to your answer Thanks for your guidance and advice ❤️❤️❤️ excellent!!!

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Hello , yes you cut all the pattern pieces including the neck & arm bands from your chosen size .

[@elzinawhite3199]

Thank you.. I love your presentation and instructions. Everything is on point. Thanks again ❤❤❤

[@cindyw4278]

Looks like a great pattern. My question is, my neckline and hem look great until i wash it and then it looks like i need to iron again to make it lay flat, which I don't really want to lol. And the hem curls up too. I have even tried using stretch interfacing in the hem but it doesn't help. Do you have any tips or have any idea what i am doing wrong? When you adjust the neckline in a knit pattern do you use a percentage to figure out the neckband measurement. Thanks cindy.

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Hi Cindy , I’ve worn and washed this one and it’s fine so far. When I adjust the neckline I cut my neckband to 80% the length of the neckline.

[@InAgatasCottage]

Great video.

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Thank you 😊

[@janets2979]

what is the name of the blouse you are wearing Andria enjoyed the vlog thank you

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

It’s the Frida blouse from Atelier Jupe. I have a sewalong coming for that too

[@marief9858]

This might be a dumb question, but why the zig zag AND the overlocking? Could you do one or the other?

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Just my preference . I needn’t overlock , I just like the finished look of on the inside.

[@marief9858]

@@Beyondthepinkdoor oh ok, I thought I was doing it wrong! But I'm new to cover stitching as well and so was unsure!! Thank you!

[@lindarylands21]

Hi Andrea, I downloaded this, but only printed out on A4 one sheet... do you know if there is anything else I should do to alter the size for printing. Thank you advance. X

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Check that your printer is set to ‘print actual size’ ,it may be set to ‘fit to page ‘
