Karina you look great in the tunic and skinny pants - the styling definitely suits you!

[@carolhughes312]

Wow perfect length on you and really slimming !!! Lovely change of look on you.

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Yes. Me, too. I have heat but my limited budget means I don't use it much. I prefer a knit cap during the day, but at night a hoody stays on much better. I thought I was probably the only one. 😄 This tunic pattern looks very versatile. I really love the fabric you used.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thanks you so much :)

[@MiddleEastMilli]

Ahhhhhhh! The yellow capri! So cute!!!

[@deemcdermott1107]

Hi Karina I love your fabric and beautifully made as usual.

[@barbaramckenzie326]

The tunic over skinny jeans is a very flattering look on you!

[@MiddleEastMilli]

Amazing!! YOu look 20! And the style is very chic!

[@debbiebridges8807]

Love this and the collar is great for summer

[@bhunterBrenda]

thank you. I have this pattern and did not think I would ever use it. Now I think I will.

[@spahhhvelous]

"I did mitered corners cause I can't help myself." LOL That was hilarious! I so enjoy all your videos & sewing tips & tricks you share with all of us. :)

[@maryhull531]

The top and skinny jeans looks fantastic on you .

[@MiddleEastMilli]

You look awesome in this outfit!

[@kimkennedy90]

The tunic looks lovely

[@ritathacker5609]

That would look good with a pencil skirt also. Love the look. You help so much with sewing advice..

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

The problem with my skirts is that they are short above the knee. So the difference in hem is not that much.

[@geethamenohn1]

Loved it... going to try too. Thanks so much.

[@sheilamitchell9108]

I 💕 the fabric and you look really good In jeans. The neck line is a WOW ,but easy to do.thank you fo another fab tutorial

[@louannmulvaney9193]

What a great pattern, you look so good in your skinny Jean's and new Terra Tunic ! Lovely job on the garment construction also . I will most definitely be making this Beautiful pattern !

[@belindacox4501]

gorgeous top. I am coming into summer and will be trying it out in some light and lacy knits ✂️

[@zazmau]

A real good look on you!

[@susan571]

That's the prettiest version I've seen. I might have to copy that.

[@suesanders2940]

It turn out beautiful and looks beautiful on you . I may give this a try. Thank you for sharing. Have a beautiful and blessed week.💖🤗

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you! You too!

[@heidefries1825]

This really came out great and nice trick to add the yoke! Always learn something watching you.

[@ingridmohr9824]

Love your fabric! And hubby says to tell you he says: "Hi Karina!" Beautiful summer look with the yellow capris.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Oh thank you! Say hi back to your hubby :)

[@EileenR11]

The tunic looks great on you. It is a nice pattern, and I am also drawn to the boatneck, so look forward to seeing your version of that. Thank you, Karina.

[@TaTyTa-b9i-sewing]

That's a pretty top and fabric you used to make it. It looks good on you too.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😊

Very stylish tunic , love the collar , Karen R

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thanks, I love it :)

[@lrainbala7144]

I love the boatneck with the buttons.. so many options.. I love the hood also.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

So many options. I love that about Love Notions because we can make so many different styles :)

[@dianneandres3770]

The top is lovely and it's very flattering on you.

[@patriciabentley3782]

Lovely tunic on you Karina, I'm going to try the asymmetric neckline, never done one before. Great idea for a pajama with a hood, we're coming towards winter here in the UK. Looks like I'll be adding this to my list of Love Notions patterns, I already had 3, now it's 4. All from your affiliate link of course, I absolutely love your videos.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much for using my link! I can already imagine my cosy fancy pajama with this pattern. It’s perfect :)

[@lornablencowe1177]

I loved you in those skinny jeans and tunic, extremely slimming, you looked great and should wear that look more!! A great top! I have that pattern and will now make it up!!

[@marybeell6364]

This collar option is my favorite. I'm going to add this pattern to my wish list. It looks great on you.

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

I really, really like this pattern. I'd wear that hooded top in a heartbeat. I really like the way you used a lighter weight knit, kind of like an eyelet, because I live in warm weather and I never get to wear this kind of thing anymore! I love a slouchy hoodie, but with a straight hem. This looks like just that, with a v-neckline as a bonus. The tunic is just the right length for you - those mitered corners are a nice couture touch - overall a total win. I agree with you about the boat neckline version - pretty but much too high for my liking. You look fabulous, dahling! 😂❤️

[@KatheD]

That fabric is awesome, and works so well for that pattern

[@helenhart4778]

i got the pattern when it was 5 dollar friday and have wanted to do the asymmetric collar - now i have nothing to do but make it, thank you for your fantastic steps and love the fabric

[@cigdemunal520]

Really nice collar. I imagine making it with the collar in another color such as white or pink...

[@lindaaubertin139]

Love your top! You are so creative. I enjoy all your videos. I have also seen your video on how and when you began your sewing journey which I think is really inspirational.

[@patriciaharperbarnes1780]

I like the buttons going down on the front! Looks so different!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I love it too. When I make it with a solid no texture fabric, I'll put buttons :)

[@nancynewman6592]

That looks great on you, I hope the weather is cool enough to wear it at some point.

[@doreenbradley3849]

Love your top. Great video as usual. I've just ordered the Rockford using your link. Hope I've done it right. Really appreciate all your helpful videos and so fun to watch X

[@nataliestanchevski4628]

So pretty! I love the embroidered eyelet fabric and I think the length was very flattering. But I'm biased, I wear tunic length tops a lot, lol.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I used to wear them all the time before. This return to the style has me happy :)

[@silverluna8835]

Love it! Great make!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@baxter3877]

Your Tunic looks great! I have already made this pattern and enjoy wearing it during these fall days in Canada.

[@sewhappysarahr8912]

I have that pattern but haven't sewn it. It looks perfect for my job as an elementary art teacher! I will search out some fabric for our cool weather!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Wonderful! you'll be the best dressed teacher.

[@Escape10mom]

I've had this pattern for a while. I need to make one! Yours turned out fantastic!

[@joycewiebe135]

This turned out so pretty 🌺

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you!

[@katee3495]

I have this pattern, you’ve inspired me to bump it up my seeing queue! Actually I’m currently making the sherry dress from 5oo4 after seeing your video on that. It’s coming together really nicely so thank you for the recommendation. Also just to add how much I love hearing you mention NZ every now and again (and using the phrase ‘sweet ‘). As a kiwi who has lived in the UK for over 18 years it gives me such a nostalgia hit!

[@Hide_and_silk]

Love this on you! Xx

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you!!

[@A-Bear]

Love it

[@kckazcoll1]

I made this version of the Terra tunic. It went together so easily :)

It sure it. Super fun make :)

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles also you look great in it with the skinny jeans!

I don't have Instagram :( but love all your videos. Thank you Karina.

Darn now I want this pattern too!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

go for it :) he he

[@orcillalamprechtsews]

Beautiful blouse and neckline really feminen

[@jirup]

Hmmm, I wonder if I can hack that neckline onto another knit pattern? Before subscribing to your channel I wouldn't have considered a pattern that didn't cover my size, but now I am up for the challenge.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Yes you can! totally doable :)

[@jirup]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles I bought it and a 4 other patterns through your link. looking at the Terra pattern, I think I will have a go at grading it up to my measurements.

[@musicmama2864]

I am not interested in asymmetrical garments, but I have to watch all your videos!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

The only asymmetrical thing is the neckline here 😀. Thank you so much for watching 😊.

[@bettyp51]

The length is perfect on you!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you :)

[@flourishfaithfiber]

I think that length looks great on you. It looks great with jeans. Mid-thigh tunics are better with leggings. Your length is perfect with jeans.

[@sewrenity_now]

If I sewed the right side of collar to wrong side of neckline do you think the seam would be invisible at the collars shortest point ?(the overlap). You always look wonderful in your pictures but this shirt with your jeans make you look 10 years younger! I have to try this collar!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I think it would be visible in a tiny area and if you have long hair, it should cover it :)

[@user-ff2sj5zv8v]

Just bought this, I hope it used your affliate link. I'm happy to do an FBA it's worth noting this sadly DOESN'T have a full bust piece :(

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

On the chart it says “full bust” and that’s the terminology used with the patterns that have a full bust option (as opposed to standard bust). I apologize about that. When I saw the “full bust” words, I immediately liked that to “full bust piece”.

[@user-ff2sj5zv8v]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles no worries I made the same mistake too I got all excited thinking it had been updated but no matter it's still a great pattern and not one I'd really taken any notice of before, I have a number of LN patterns and I enjoy them all. Perhaps Tami will do an update when she has time in her busy schedule :)

[@claudebarsa9742]

Hi Karina, I love your channel and watch your videos. I am relatively new to sewing with knits and I know it is really important to find the grainline of a jersey knit. I have a cotton jersey with a little spandex in a white and black stripe that I pre-washed. After washing, the grain line is completely off. When I place my pattern so the stripes are perpendicular to the center, and I can match stripes on the sides seams, I can see the grainline completely so far off that I know the top will not hang straight. I would appreciate any advice or opinion you might have on using this fabric. Thank you and keep making these videos, your energy is contagious.

[@lisacoats8812]

Why did you see with a shallow zigzag stitch after you had serged it?

[@siamese35]

You always talk about how warm it is there. What is the average temperature?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’m I’m the Southern Hemisphere, so in spring and headed to summer. It’s hot 🥵 and humid and around the mid 80s to 100 everyday. In the “winter” it’ll drop to the 70s.

[@kabsalsa]

I like the length top on you. You just need to find non-jean pants that work.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Yup, fitted ones :)

[@susiegoettel6627]

I too like to sleep with a hood covering my ears in the winter!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Cozy. I've been doing that for years and just put on a regular hoodie. It'd be great to have an actual PJ with a hood :)

[@st4y-c4lm44]

looks good on you with your skinny jeans.
