The Edit: New Sewing Patterns - 11th August

[@georginagowland6084]

Back in the day we'd call the last lingerie pattern a baby doll style. No idea why. I think if I made that it would give my old man a heart attack. 😂

I remember the babydoll …..😂

🤣 Imagine how his eyes would pop! But you never know, it might be his fantasies come true.

As a child on hot summer nights back when houses rarely had air conditioning I loved wearing my baby doll pj’s. They were not worn by teens and women. The baby dolls were two piece, bottoms were bikini style and tops had a bit of lace but not sexy in any manner.

Made 2 Swimstar s so far. Performed much better in the water than i was expecting! Thanks Kate

[@BridgetEscolme]

Was wondering how it fits across the chest, @debmadethis, see my comment above?

[@TheFoldLine]

That's brilliant to hear! 💦

[@lynnshepard7485]

Helen’s Closet patterns are the best! I didn’t realize that swimsuit is a wrap over. Gotta love that! 😘

[@TheFoldLine]

It really is!

[@SewMyTime]

I do agree- Helen’s Closet patterns are always So good. Lovely round up again Thank you. 😊. Lynne

[@TheFoldLine]

You’re welcome 😊

[@DoReMeaCulpa]

When you were describing the fit of the flora dress, I think what you meant is that it skims the body rather than being closely fitted or loose. A fit that skims the body is kind of a goldilocks zone, imo, and is usually very flattering and comfortable to wear. And I think the word you were looking for in the last pattern, for that sexy nightie type garment is a negligee. ( has a soft g sound, like neg-li-jhay).

[@karenbensdon4643]

Great episode. The halter dress and lingerie patterns were my favorite.

[@foxynannabev]

Hiya Kate 👋🏻 I always look 👀 forward to seeing ur new sewing patterns vids 😁 love ❤️ seeing the new ones 🥰 I got loads of things in my basket 🧺 lol but might just have to add a few more 😂 thanks for another great vid hun 👍🏻 love from Bev in the North East (UK) xxx

[@TheFoldLine]

Thanks so much for watching! 😘

[@BridgetEscolme]

Ooh really love that halter dress. Although I'm not particularly well endowed bust-wise I don't really like going without a bra and that elasticated back looks like it could cover a strapless bra. Speaking of which - I'd like to try making a swimsuit and I love Helen's Closet instructions so I think today's pattern might be great for a first go...but on the models it really seems to pull across the chest. Do you reckon it might not do that if you're a bit more of a Flatty? How does it fit you across the bust, @debmadethis?

[@TheFoldLine]

There are a few makes already under the Instagram hashtag if you'd like to see how it fits on different bodies ☺️ instagram.com/explore/tags/sunstarswimsuit/

It’s disappointing when swimwear patterns replicate the same restricted cup size we see in off the peg swimwear. Around 27% of UK women wear a bra size larger than a D cup.

[@pinkpaulasews4929]

Hey, it’s my understanding that the cup sizes for sewing patterns is nothing to do with bra cup sizes. It’s the difference between high bust measurement and low bust measurement. My regular bra size is E cup but in sewing patterns B cup works just fine no FBA needed. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can explain better than me.

[@verylikecheryl]

@@pinkpaulasews4929 Wow, really? Thank you. I’m a 34G. Does anyone know, would a 34D sewing pattern fit me?

[@Yorkygirl59]

@@verylikecheryl It depends on the difference between your upper bust and full bust, and the pattern, if it has cup sizes, will tell you what cup size you need for that particular pattern. You measure upper bust (around back, under armpits and above your bust) without a bra, then full bust with a bra on, then see what the difference is.

[@verylikecheryl]

@@Yorkygirl59 New world unlocked! Thank you so much x

[@karenbensdon4643]

Cashmerette has a swim pattern for this month’s club pattern. You can buy just one month and cancel. Their patterns are the best for larger busts and go up to E/F sewing cup size. For reference, a D cup is 4inch difference between high and full bust. They also have a great calculator on their website that you can use anytime.
