"I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it!", says me all the time when I should be making notes for next time. I do not remember anything, ever, lol.

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Never. And never mind that I have a notebook, sometimes take notes on my pattern pieces. Do I still have things I miss? YEP. 🤣

[@dljrun63]

I love love this top!! Great critical thinker you are! 🙌

[@halliehasslinger9663]

The way you matched the fabrics EXACTLY to the bottoms was so beautiful to see! I love having things match perfectly like that. So good! 🧡💛💚 Great idea to pull out stuff in your wardrobe before picking out a top fabric. ☺️

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed me sharing that part! I always feel like it might be helpful for someone else when you see someone's thought process (and I know I like it when others do that too). Perfect matches are so satisfying, aren't they. ☺️

[@DeathByFashion1]

I love that people will call you out hahhaa I need this to stop procrastinating all my plans 😂 btw you are a great teacher!!

[@fabiolawiseman]

Thank you so much for another fab video, especially for the tip on the collar band intersection. LOVING the batch sewing and your amazing instructions ❤

[@LeelaBluePins]

I did this recently! I made like 7 different versions. There’s so many nice combos for this pattern.

[@tashacouldmakethat]

7 wow! Nice. There really is kind of an infinite variety with this pattern, isn't there. I want to try it with 🤣the plain round neck sometime too. If I can ever stop making the band collar. Which I may cannot since I love it so much.

[@nicoled2831]

Congratulations on reaching 10k Tasha!!! All the hard work you put in really shows and I’m glad it’s translating to subs and sponsors🎉 I always enjoy your great tips, beautiful makes and your positive energy brings me out of many a sewjo slump! Thank you for bringing a splash of colour to this little corner of the internet ❤

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Aww thank you so much for the kind words! Happy to help share a bit of color and fun out there in this difficult world. ☺️

[@laurum1318]

I loveeee that neckline!!! ❤

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Me too, it's one of my favs!

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

They are all lovely! The colours are so bright and will be so nice for spring

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks! I actually wore the green one on Saturday with a skirt that had a perfectly matching green in it, so it's going with more things than I even anticipated originally. ☺️

[@janeplass7305]

Congratulations on the growth of your channel, both in subscribers and videos!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@nadiasews]

thank you for this video! Ive only made these in cotton jersey and have run into the issues you present here...I love the top in all its variations so will make more with the things you suggested here, thank you again!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

So glad it was helpful! I love this pattern so much and I'm thrilled to have worked through the one stumbling block area for me. Can't wait to make more!

[@fawntheresa5338]

I definitely signed up for craftsy, cause that is such a great deal! And oh my god Tasha, I never wanted to make this shirt until now. I have been with Gertie's patreon since the beginning, and I've liked most of the patterns but just didn't see some of them working for me style wise, this was one of them. Until now! These look so good on you! I need one or three in my wardrobe now.

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Awesome, you'll enjoy the membership for sure! Soooo many things to watch and learn. I know what you mean about Patreon, sometimes you see something that's amazing on others but it doesn't feel like you, or maybe you at the time. Seeing as I just went and had 2 patterns from I think 2 years ago printed. 🤣 I REALLY am so happy with this pattern!!

[@BritInvLvr]

Congratulations on 10k subs. I love your channel and I love your fashion style. I rewatch some of your videos to help me with tricky sewing steps.

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you so much!! I’m so happy you enjoy rewatching things to help you out, too. 🥰

[@lifeinaditch]

Congratulations on 10K!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you!!

[@KlingonPrincess]

Love these tops, I bought the pattern.🤗 I appreciate the neckline tips, you saved me from some frustration. Also the notch clipping tip! Brilliant 🌻🍄

[@tashacouldmakethat]

I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of doing the notches that way sooner! Actually technically I think I had, but always worried if I got going too fast I'd be more likely to clip into the stitching on accident so never wanted to do it. But with sewing 3 at a time, I needed a faster way. 🤣

[@emmadavey3892]

I love them ! That green on you is amazing 🤩 I’m so excited to try my Hepburn now! Clearly a job for June the start of our winter 🤣

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks!! Ooh maybe a warmer knit fabric then for your winter. 😁

[@diannnec]

Congratulations!! Looking forward to the next 100! 🎉🎉

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you!! 😁

[@metteriggs2151]

Congratulations on 10K/100th video! That top is terrific--I'm on my way to order that pattern. Great video, thank you for all your tips!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you so much! ☺️ The pattern is so versatile, though I’ve only just sewed the same view since I love it. 😂

[@designdolcezza]

This is one of my favorite looks, but I do get tripped up as well every time I’m doing one of the collars. So thank you for all the hints that you provided in this video. I’m 52 and I’m wondering if I should shorten the torso on the top, how tall are you?. Congratulations on your recent achievements.😊

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks! I'm 5'2" and while I usually do short torso adjustments for all bodices, I don't typically bother for knits since they're more forgiving, so I haven't for this pattern. Just shortened the overall length since it's too long for me. 😊

[@Puppy52]

Love the collars😍 I wonder if it would be easier to attach the collar before sewing the center back seam?🤔

[@tashacouldmakethat]

I love that collar too! I don’t think you could without needing to clip into the seam allowance to allow it to turn in which might not work well and be as clean looking inside. But the way I did it worked great and was easy. I was overthinking it last time!

[@phillygirldiane8315]

that green looks great on you!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you! ☺️

[@julsbendandi9374]

Congrats on your first 10k! I love your channel and wanna know…when are we gonna see you on Craftsy? (Amazing deal on the subscription!) My favourite course? There are a lot of them! I have learned a ton from Suzy Furrer and Lynda Maynard and Pam Howard just to start…but I‘m gonna go with my first Gail Yellen…she made me feel that I could sew if I just took it one. Step. At. A time. A great lesson! ❤

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks so much! Boy I'd love to teach on Craftsy someday. 🥰 Pam Howard is amazing, I just started watching a class of hers and she's hilarious! I love Beverly Johnson too (of the bra making classes). She's where I learned the term to sew with a loose bottom... meaning fabric that needs to be eased on the bottom. But so amusing you don't forget it. (Although I sometimes ignore it.)🤣

Hi Tasha, I recently found your channel and have been binge watching. I love your style and would really love to add more vintage looks to my closet but at am a loss when it comes to foundation garments. Could you give some advice in that area?

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks so much, welcome to the channel! I’ll fully admit I’m not a huge wearer of foundation garments except a bra (unless it’s a special occasion). I do typically prefer to wear vintage style bras that give more lift-not as severe as a bullet bra. My favorite is Bali Flower though I’ve also traced it off and sewed my own. And I sometimes wear a “normal” t-shirt bra (I am in the beginning of this video). At the end I’m wearing a Revival Lingerie bra. If you’re interested, yearrrrs ago I wrote a blog post sight retro bras. I’m talking about 40s styles in the post since I was into that at the time but this is exactly the style bra I still prefer: tashacouldmakethat.com/2011/10/adventures-in-recreating-1940s-bust/

[@hardygirl82]

Thanks for your answer, excited to watch your older vids and whatever you have coming up!

[@rodentary]

How did you get the instructions in a booklet? I thought it was just print outs.

[@tashacouldmakethat]

It’s not a Patreon pattern, so I ordered the print version.

[@diannnec]

What brand is your matching thread? How much is it-meters/yds?

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Gutermann thread, I buy it from WAWAK and it’s 1,000 or so yards for the size I showed. It’s great! I even splurged for a shade card once which can be really helpful.

[@diannnec]

I’ll have to make an order with Wawak. Thank you. 😊

[@tangorhumba3777]

Could you not have added a small band to the orange sleeve?

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Yes but I didn’t feel the need to and as I showed in the end I liked the short length better!
