Hemline - pocket shaper template who doesn’t love a sewing gadget? ❤😂

[@lynetteshorten6043]

love the fact that you trundle along. I've asked my sister to watch you because you're HUMAN. most sewing channels are PERFECT and we come away feeling less-than. LOVE your style ...AND you must be the lady I first watched when I initially bought my Singer 201K

[@mybucoliclife]

Yay I hope you love your 201. And I am definitely human. 🤣🤣🤣

[@mrgarner4796]

I love thiu'sew along '. The shirt is wonderful. It reminds me of the shacket I am planning to sew. Thank you.

[@angiedenamur4531]

Love your machine

[@joangibson859]

Love you true statement: It is your pattern, it is your methods. The pattern company methods are suggestions.

[@nancyhurt7145]

I bought one of the clover pocket makers on Amazon after I saw yours! They still have them! How had I missed this the past 70 plus years!

[@christinebarker9361]

A good all round shirt, Love see the animals out in the spring sun. x

[@bobbicollier4525]

You got that Country girl vibe going on......Wonderful job on matching. You amaze me every time I watch you. Thank you for making this video.

[@snoyl4645]

I am learning so much from you!

[@lindak8664]

I have to thank you. I’ve been binge watching your videos since I found your channel about a week ago. I made a blouse today which needed several adjustments. Two weeks ago, i would have panicked & procrastinated. Today i was so cool. I didn’t give it a second thought, i just knew how to do it. Lowered the bust point 3cm. Lengthened the bodice 3cm. Widened the bottom 0.5cm (2cm total). Lengthened the sleeves 7cm and widened them about 10cm to increase the volume in the gathering, I wanted them more poofy. Took me like 20 minutes. All because of your teachings. So _thankyou_ 😃

[@mybucoliclife]

Look at you! Yay, I'm so glad I was able to help inspire your confidence ☺️☺️

[@jimmie200]

Pretty blouse. I really like that it's just a little loose and comfortable. Pretty color, too. Thank you for this video. You show and explain each step simply. Us inexperienced seamstresses need that.

[@fishezpreloadedleaders5211]

good job sweetie still waiting on my shirt lol

[@mybucoliclife]

I know, I know. Soon 😉

[@robyn3349]

Thank you! Super cute shirt! I love flannel shirts. I especially like the collar on this pattern.

[@cherylcentenioblessedvirgi3241]

Marie, I love the blouse very much. Thank you for sharing.

[@ames0596]

Happy Friday Marie! love the thread tree.

[@CameliasSewingChannel]

Very pretty blouse. I like the hem shape, and adding extra ease to the sleeve was a smart choice! I love the happy fabric and your little modeling at the end!

[@mybucoliclife]

Thank you!!

[@barbaraharsch3048]

Really loved the shirt/blouse.. pockets bring the eyes to them right away... Material was a good choice... Overall I like it it's the kind of shirt/blouse I like to wear..

[@aribella6913]

What a cute and happy comfy shirt. Love the pockets on a diagonal.

[@maryphillips-mb4ob]

Hi. I love your videos. I’ve sewed for years. I’ve learnt a lot from your videos. I made myself a cardboard template for pockets. It works great.

[@louisasmith3430]

Love the blouse you made and the fabric. I also liked all the adjustments you made to the pattern. Thanks for teaching us.

[@melissaj4626]

Looks great on you!

[@brendastevens8325]

I love the blouse ..matching is awesome

[@grandymommy4531]

Practical, yet pretty. The fabric looks cheerful and springy. I so enjoy watching your projects and various solutions to problems or designs.

[@kerryhull2116]

Great shirt, love the fabric👍🏻

[@bevtodd4334]

This is a great make and I loved your sleeve adjustment and you really helped me understand how the collar is sewn on. Thank you

[@brendajefferson5984]

Very pretty❤❤❤. TFS 😊

[@theresawagner2642]

Such a cute blouse. I love a sleeve that rolls up easily. As we are always doing "stuff". Great video.

[@ames0596]

As always I've learned something new and clever from you to make garment construction easier. Gracias!

[@tamaradensmore6216]

❤ I love it! ❤️ I truly appreciate all the information you give in your videos. I haven’t done much sewing over the last 50 years, but I’m going to start again as soon as I get my sewing area set up. I already started collecting fabric and patterns!😍❤️THANK YOU for the inspiration!!!!❤️

[@mybucoliclife]

Yay! So glad! It's a fun hobby to jump back into 😊

[@SewTexas]

I like the colors!

[@lindafederer2437]

oh it’s sooooo cute! Love the pockets, you always walkthrough and make it look easy. Great colors too

[@florencemoran2746]

I’m not able to see your ball pt pen line very well. It would be easier to see if you used a felt tipped black marker! I love your explanations of why you make alterations on the pattern! I learn a lot from you! Thanks so much!

[@lydiamoore87]

Ah I so enjoyed that Marie! Every time I watch you, I learn something! Your blouse is lovely! Thank you x

[@yolandabone4559]

Thank you Marie for your informative and fun sew-a-longs. I have been a quilter for years, but haven't been one for sewing clothes. I recently found your channel and love it. You have inspired me to expand my creativity. I have made two skirts and a dress. My goal is a Chanel jacket!!

[@louisejeffries7155]

Good for you Yolanda Marie is inspiring hey

[@mybucoliclife]

I'm so glad enjoy sewing garments now. A whole new world has opened up to you 😊

[@theadventuresofmr.kigsandc8047]

I just found your channel and you are my new favorite! Thank you for your amazing and detailed sewing videos. Your work is inspiring and phenomenally done! I just started my apparel sewing journey about a year ago and you’ve been so helpful to me. I LOVE your pocket template! I’m so bad at pockets making them symmetrical and with my OCD it makes me crazy. I just searched EBay and found a vintage clover like yours and I’m beyond excited. My husband thinks I’m so weird at what makes me happy. 😂 Thank you again!

[@mybucoliclife]

Yay! Sometimes it the little things that bring a lot of joy. Good deal 😀

[@kathyrussell1818]

Turned out great

[@Sewmuchclass]

Thanks for the video!

[@trudywolcott7419]

Maybe do what Nancy Zeiman recommended. Measure for the shoulders to choose a size. Then pivot the pattern for bust and hips. Sewing with Nancy.

[@angiedenamur4531]

Looks great on you

[@kimberlyjett9954]

Love it!

[@carolbarbee5653]

I say who the heck cares if your plaids match. if we were all rich and had fabric to wast you do it. I love this shirt❤

[@mybucoliclife]

I know right?!

[@normacooper6377]

With a flannel fabric, the extra 2 inches will probably be very helpful for movement. I hate tight sleeves. That’s a nice sleeve you made. You could even wear it over a long sleeved tee shirt in cooler weather, too. I like the cute pockets.

[@lorrainemicah5079]

I have scrolled through all q&a and your transcript so I don’t have to ask a question already has been answered….but nowhere did I find WHERE did you buy the fabric? “very cheerful flannel plant printed plaid flannel” I simply love this…. Thank you

[@mybucoliclife]

In general. I'm a shopper in the sale section at joann

[@louisejeffries7155]

As always learnt things today from watching the video 1: why I’ve struggled to get folds in pleats running in the right direction I’ll go back a watch that information again so it ingrains 2: why my sleeve placket is never even (always been a frustration) - because the sleeve slash is on an angle. Oh goodness Marie can you say what cotton you use to sew with It looks a little heavier gm than I’m currently using. I did use a heavier cotton which is no longer available and my machine did like it better (so did I!) We are starting to get better variety where I am and of course now you can order on line but I don’t know many different brands yet. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks so much as always for the video. There’s always something interesting to learn from them I will say I eagerly wait each Friday for your uploads. Finish the work week and get inspired. Awesome

[@mybucoliclife]

Hello Louise! Thanks so much for the great comments and observations. The thread that I use most often I purchased from wawak.com it is their amann saba 1000 meter spools. I really like the quality and the price is nice too. In their new catalog it looks like it is a little over $2 a spool. So glad you're watching 😁

[@SewcraftymeT]

I found a corner template on Amazon Clover pocket maker (sleeve rounded form) (japan import)

[@ritahanderahan9841]

What is the reason that you serge your edges then put your pieces together? Why not serge and see in one step? I appreciate your input and experience.

[@mybucoliclife]

Hello, I like to search first and then so because I like to press my seam allowances open. Also, doing it this way is a lot more forgiving in case you make a mistake while stitching. Thanks for watching

[@dianemontavon5670]

where do you live, I might want to buy it but don't want it shipped. I could meet you somewhere close to your area. I would like either machine, but prefer Belle.

[@mybucoliclife]

Hope she is working well for you!

[@judymorgan319]

I'm just starting to sew again after 40 years. I can't seem to find a pattern to fit. Wonder if you had any suggestions. My measurements are B46, W45, and H45. I usually wear an extra large or a 16-18 rtw. According to my measurements I would jump up to a size 22 pattern. This just doesn't seem right. I just bought this same pattern by the way to make the blouse. I need your help... If you have time. I sure appreciate you. Judy 🦋

[@mybucoliclife]

Hello! I know transitioning from ready to wear to pattern sizes can be shocking when you see the number increases. For your measurements the size 22 does same to be accurate. As you are just getting into it though, I would suggest making it up out of a less expensive fabric first to try out that pattern size before jumping into high-end fabrics in case you need to change some things. For example I know for my body shape I have to lower the best if it's a tight fitting arm garment I need to make the bicep wider and if it's a straight skirt I need to make the hips wider using a standard size 16 pattern. But that understanding only came with a lot of trial and error over the years. So I would suggest starting with something that's supposed to be loose fitting, in the pattern size they suggest, and then tweak things from there. I really hope it goes well for you

[@judymorgan319]

@@mybucoliclife thank you so very much! I have asked so many people even at fabric shops, and they didn't know the answer to what pattern size I needed. They didn't know anything about the finished garment ease either. I've got some old sheets I'm going to practice on. Again, I sure do thank you for taking the time to answer me 🦋
