Closet Case Kalle Shirt | Sewing Pattern Review | Kalle Shirt Pattern Review

[@dianavoermans]

How I love your videos 😍 it’s like having two friends over for tea ☕️☕️ and sew talk😁. I am loving the number shirt!

[@jessdoeslife__]

Your Kalle turned it beautifully ladies! Well done 😍 thanks for joining us again x

[@laurajones4088]

Love how the two of you always seem to show the versatility of the pattern when you make the same garment. Both shirts look great!

[@published1789]

Wow, you guys do beautiful top stitching. Thanks for showing all the views including close ups.

[@CulinaryGuide]

I really love this pattern design. It's definitely on my list to buy. I enjoy seeing versions of it made-up. Thank you for sharing.

[@patriciabennett7866]

Oh wow! The optical illusion on Nikki's shirt! I'm watching and the fabric morphed and I saw the numbers! Fantastic! Both shirts are fabulous ladies and now I want to make both versions! I have to get the pattern first, Lord knows I have enough fabric!, lol

[@deannacumpston9318]

I never cared for this pattern before, but after seeing your two versions I may have to get it and make my own Kalle shirt.

[@creativemommaof3241]

I would love to get a peek at your closets. I have seen what you ladies make each week but to see all the clothing you ladies have made in one place would be cool. Thanks.

[@Lisamakes]

They both look fab! Great job, ladies!

[@jackiesenich2622]

They are both beautiful. I’m going to start cutting very soon. Did you size down from the pattern? I love your fits and I’m wondering how you approached that. It seems like a lot of positive ease. Thanks!

[@StitchedUp]

love both your Kalle's, its been a great pattern for this month, I made 2 and have to admit I love them more than I thought I would, the drafting is great but I misread the instructions a couple of times and made a few mistakes, always rushing ahead and think i know what I'm doing!

[@rhondachamberlain1535]

You both look smashing! Love how different they both are.....

[@annlenthall9657]

I really do love the shirts girls you have both shown the pattern off to its best you both look great.✂️

[@StayStitching]

Girls! I watched this for a full SIX MINUTES before I saw the numbers on Nicki's shirt! I love both of these tops, great job! I could never wear Rachel's view though, because I don't have a flat stomach and I feel like that shirt would totally emphasize that figure flaw.

[@Tam-te5nh]

Stay Stitching me too! It took me until the close up to realize the numbers. ☺️

[@sunhine71]

and me!!

[@julietaylor4932]

I only saw the numbers at the end! Gfeat fabric

[@SewNaturalDane]

Both look great but I'm loving that crepe fabric!!!

[@jolynnwhite7946]

Really nice fabrics, in great variations , Lv a sew along. Happy Easter season happy sewing

[@loriannpayne4483]

I was just thinking that I hadn’t seen a video from you for several days and within a couple of hours - up popped your video! Wonderful shirts. I especially love Nikki’s Fabric and shirt. You’ve inspired me to start sewing for myself again. I went to the fabric store today and bought McCall’s #7081. View B would look wonderful on both of you. Happy Sewing!

[@anubis33]

Very stylish in both design choices.

[@susanmazzanti5643]

I love the way the crape drapes and the print makes a pretty top. I do think some US quilting cottons would work after the fabric is washed. By the way, my first sewing project in school was a plan blouse so it's doable for begenners.

[@sewagnes6706]

Love both of your shirts. i agree and I'm going to make another one too. Also agree re. the size and I'm going for an in-between the short and tunic version. Would you recommend lengthening the short one or shortening the tunic?? Thanks as always for sharing ladies, you both look great as always xx

[@cjhines726]

Your top-stitching is exquisite! Can you do a video on that sometime (or maybe you have?). Mine never looks that perfect.

[@jackieblakemore56]

I think you have both done a great job but think Nicky’s style suits her more. It’s brilliant though, to show how you can get completely different looks from the same pattern and different fabrics.

[@StitchesSeams]

Love both of them, they look great on both of you. 😘

[@Tam-te5nh]

After seeing it in the crepe, I want to make one!

[@shaidabegum.]

Hi sisters. Love both variations. I would like to know how you would adjust a pattern for sloping shoulders. Thank you.

[@addiekl]

Lovely Kalles! The fabrics both suit this design very well. I also made a Kalle this past month, in the dress version. I used a shirting-weight clay-colored denim (you can see it on my Instagram @lotuspeachblog). I also have sloping and narrow shoulders so I may consider adjusting the pattern next time. I have my eye on a chambray or Tencel/cotton blend to make the shirt version in a blue. I like the contrast topstitching idea: I am feeling red for this Spring/Summer.

[@sewmytroublesaway]

I'm making the cropped version with the popover placket but I'm just realising that the front facing doesn't have a pattern piece or instructions for a front facing piece without a center front seam? Did I miss something? I'm going to measure how much to cut off at CF and have a seam there but it would be better to have a single piece in the front. It feels like for how good their instructions are, surely I must he missing something!? Hmmm

[@sallydingle321]

They are both lovely girls and it's next on my list to make so very excited 😁. It will be my first shirt make but I think if I take it slow I should be fine👍. I'm doing the straight view A with the covered placket and I might as a couple of inches to the front even though I'm short. If I do this to the front I'm assuming that I have to do the same to the back......not sure, I'm sure I'll figure it out 😊😘

[@StitchSisters]

the back views are the same except you can choose between the type of pleats you do in the back. There is a very good sew along on the Closet Case website apparently (hope that helps)

[@sallydingle321]

Stitch Sisters oh, that sounds great, thanks so much for the reply 💞😘

[@ddinitialssarahcouture2768]

Such a pleasure each time

[@juliadroy1179]

Great video

[@jennialfabetico5691]

Lovely tops, Ladies! And another thoroughly enjoyable video. I noticed that your shirts unbutton the opposite way. Did one of you purposely do your button placket around the opposite way? If so, is that because you're left-handed, etc.?

[@StitchSisters]

Jenni Alfabetico no it wasn’t intentional. I think I (Nikki) struggled with the placket using the crepe so was happy with anyway it sat in the end !!

[@dianedoherty3655]

Why don’t you show a vid of the two of you moving around in those darling shirts. It’s helpful to see scale and movement of the two types of fabrics in full views.
