Sewing Tutorial: Cami Top (Easy for Beginners)

[@Flagiuzio]

Hi everyone! Thank you for watching this tutorial! Just wanted to mention again that the correct MEASUREMENT OF THE STRAPS Each strap is: 11 INCHES LONG AND 1 1/2 INCH WIDE The final (sewn) measurements of my straps were 10 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Sorry for the confusion!

[@AK-zq8dt]

You taught a very easy way....I have watched so many video just to learn how to make that top....all were just the waste of time,but,yours is great!❤️

@@AK-zq8dt Hi! Omg you are so kind! I decided to record this after having a hard time finding a tutorial myself ❤️ I am so happy you liked this tutorial! Xx

@@Flagiuzio dear,right after watching your video,I made a beautiful top....thanks...with love!

[@barbaraeastham9205]

I recently lost 30lbs so a lot of clothes are now too big. I’ve made four of these tops out of a skirt, a dress and two blouses. I’m thrilled with them. Thank you for this. 😁

[@MegaBpop]

I am impressed with your teaching skills. I really appreciate the. Close up camera views and step by step. I get intimidated when ppl don’t show good camera views .

[@Flagiuzio]

thank you!! I agree... its hard to follow along when people skip steps, especially if you are a beginner. Thanks for watching the tutorial and leaving your comment 💕

[@jenwessels8231]

Thank you so much. I really hate working with bias binding and you have just sorted out the greatest problem I have with sewing. If I had known about this I would have saved so much money as well as material. You are a star and a great person for sharing your knowledge.

[@Flagiuzio]

Thank you for the kind comment Jen! Happy to know you liked this tutorial 💕

[@LivingFULLSick]

GREAT!!! THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST VIDEO I HAVE SEEN FOR A DIY CAMI!!! I HAVE WATCHED TONS. I KNOW IT'S A SIMPLE PATTERN, BUT CONCERN HAS BEEN USING A STRETCH/LYCRA CAMI TO TRACE, AND USING A WOVEN FABRIC FOR THE TOP. i DO KNOW TO CUT AT LEAST AN INCH OR SO LARGER...lol YOU ANSWERED THAT FOR ME!! I WILL NOW BEGIN TO CRANK THEM OUT!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU!! PLEASE CONTINUE TO SHARE

[@Flagiuzio]

Thank you Retia! I am so happy you found this helpful! I love sharing these videos with people and be able to share my knowledge so we can all make our own clothes =) I am so happy this video gave you the confidence to try make some cami tops yourself! If you have ANY questions at all feel free to contact me and I will help you figure out what went wrong. Please share the end result on instagram/facebook using the #alchimisti so I can see how it turns out! Happy sewing =)

[@LivingFULLSick]

I WILL SHARE A PICTURE WHEN I FINISH ONE, HOPEFULLY BY THE WEEKEND. THANK YOU AGAIN !!!

[@JUSTMCKOY]

I just tried this and it came out great. Thank you very much

[@TheEvie202]

That’s the quickest, easiest spaghetti straps I’ve ever seen. And without a turner! 1/14 yards was the main fabric or main fabric including the facings? I like facings or lining so much more than bis binding. Thank you 🙏 Nice job 👍🏼!

[@happybeans6967]

This one is so cute and simple thank you so much sis, please don't stop to teach us ❣️❣️❣️ or make a video like this

[@MyKombucha]

So clear!! This is going to be my first garment. My favorite camis have small darts, any tips to add darts? I will do everything else identical to your tutorial.

[@mregister3945]

Thank you for sharing this. 😊❤

[@donnahaynes8766]

that you for this. I've been wanting to make a cami top with sort of a shelf bra but couldn't find a pattern that didn't start with a store bought bra. I wanted something much simpler. Your facing could be made just long enough for the shelf bra and then elasticized at the bottom. bingo. problem solved. (i think. will have to try it to know for sure.)

[@Flagiuzio]

Hi Donna, Great idea!! I believe that could work! I would probably make the facing longer as you mentioned so it fits the bra. The elastic is a great idea and I think it will work like a charm! Let me know how it goes 😊 Thank you for watching the tutorial and leaving your comment 😘

[@giselegisele9626]

Thank you for yr clear tutorial... this is what I've been searching for.. definitely will make it❤👌

[@ItisJosie]

Thank you very much for this video. I was contemplating purchasing a similar cami pattern and with this amazing tutorial I will save that money 😄😄

[@nirjadesai6675]

First of all thank you so much for this tutorial!!! It's by far the easiest one to follow and you are so good at explaining every step! If I wanted to make a cami top using a satin fabric, do I need to use pinking scissors or a special seam to prevent the satin fabric from unraveling? Thank you so much, can't wait to share my finished product and tag you!

[@Flagiuzio]

Hi Nirja! Thank you so much for the kind words 💕 For satin fabrics I recommended you use french seams or overlock since satin fabrics do unravel a lot! I am excited to see the end result 😍😍

[@anajonsson3072]

Beautiful

[@sucharitha6333]

Hi.... That was a nice and detailed video. . Thank you....but do you need to really give facing at the back....? I'm a beginner and was never clear till i saw your video....

[@Flagiuzio]

Hi Sucharitha, The reason why I added the facing in the back is to finish the fabric properly on both sides. So the facing in the front serves to give extra coverage for the bust and finish the raw edges of the neckline, while in the back it is mainly just to finish the neckline. Thank you for watching the video and leaving your comment!

Cami top really beautiful . Thank you . 😍

Te quedo hermosa. Que clase de tela es? Gracias por tus enseñanzas.

Thank you Kristie! If you do make one please share the result with me on Instagram or Facebook with @alchimisti. I love seeing the stunning things people make using my tutorials!

[@rosac8168]

Very pretty but if I can suggest to slow down a bit and move your camera closer for beginner like me I had to rewind several times and pause in between . I will attempt to do it though it came out very pretty

[@Flagiuzio]

Hi Rosa, Thank you for the feedback. I recorded this video a couple of years ago and I didn't have much experience on recording tutorials. I will keep your suggestions in mind when I record my new tutorials 💕

[@isseroi]

Thank you for the tutorial!

[@carmensalome]

Great video. I have been looking for a free cami pattern. I dont have a cami to do it the way you did. Your tutorial is helpful for construction though. I'm off to find a pattern.

[@Flagiuzio]

Hi!! I would recommend the Ogden pattern from True Bias. I have never used it since I make most of my patterns but I heard great things about it!!

[@sole9482]

Very nice

[@taniafaulds8002]

Very good! Will try it

I love to watch your English videos, because this I learn how “costurar” and speak English.. 😂😂😂

[@debsmadethis]

Hi Great tutorial thank you. Can I check strap dimensions please. I don't think 24 inches each strap sounds right (that's 2 feet long)?

[@Flagiuzio]

Hi!! Thank you for the comment! I just realized that I said the wrong measurement for the straps. My final strap measures 10 inches long by 1/2 inch wide. I would cut a strap that is at least 11 inches just to be safe. Thank you for the comment and I will add an annotation in the tutorial for the other people that watch this!! =)

[@josephinenmo]

Sorry, beginner here, but could I use the same process with silk fabric? I love the design I just didn’t know if the fabric type made a difference

[@Flagiuzio]

Hi! I would say that using silk as a beginner might not be the best option. That is because silk can be such a pain to sew and it is so slippery. If you want the silk look you can always use a silk like polyester fabric or a rayon, since both are much more manageable. Thank you for watching 💕

[@Sharon-pb7so]

Very cute.... I'd like to make this into a dress, how would I do that? Just get longer fabric?

[@Flagiuzio]

Hi Sharon! In that case I would use a longer fabric and I would also cut the fabric a bit more A line at the bottom since most women tend to have hips that are wider than their bust. I am sure its going to look super cute! Thank you for watching and leaving your comment !

[@Sharon-pb7so]

@@Flagiuzio Thank you so much!! 💕💛💕

[@nehavichare8057]

Awesome ❤️

[@breeliang5616]

Is this non stretch fabric? (Sorry, beginner here)

[@Flagiuzio]

Hi Bree. Yes this is a non stretch fabric called rayon. But you could use other fabrics like cotton or polyester. Thank you for watching and hope you make your cami top too 💕

[@chhayavarma4358]

Thank you

[@soniasantana1177]

Great you explain in english too! Can you speak Spanish? Viscose is same as rayon? Please more english videos. Saludos desde Puerto Rico

[@Flagiuzio]

Hi Sonia! Thank you for commenting on this tutorial! I can speak Spanish since both of my husband's parents are from Peru. But not well enough to do a tutorial probably 😊 Viscose and rayon are the same. Viscose is a name that is used more often in South America and Europe while rayon name might be more American. But dont quote me on that 🤣🤣🤣 Sending my love to Puerto Rico!

[@soniasantana1177]

Pues me alegra más que también entiedas español. Y aprendiendo también portugues con usted. More videos please.

What did you use for the round ruler

Hi Sabrinaz I used a French curve ruler. Thank you for watching the tutorial 💕

Can u plz tell how to take the measuresment over our body? Plzzzz

[@wm6441]

How did you sew the bottom? I didn't see that part in the video

[@Flagiuzio]

Hi, I did a narrow hem by folding the hem once and then again and sticking it. Thank you for watching this tutorial 💕

[@kankitasharma2989]

Measurement of the fabric please??
