The Edit: New Sewing Patterns - 4th February

[@georginagowland6084]

Thank you Kate. So relieved to hear that these videos are continuing. If I ever meet you in person I will greet you like an old friend and you will think, 'who is this mad old woman!' See you next Sunday 😊

[@TheFoldLine]

That's so nice! 🥰

[@sallyadams3981]

Dear Kate, I am very glad you had a good response to last week's video. I am also delighted we will continue to hear from you each week. I did give some thought to your needs last week. Minerva do a tutorial/sew along using their fabrics on random patterns, as I am sure you are aware. They usually chose very basic patterns and keep the fine finishes to a zero. Some patterns you showcase are not beginner level. May I suggest a similar sew along demonstrating finer sewing points of tailoring and sewing be incorporated into particular patterns. Eg. How and when to use horse hair, boning, jacket interfacing, pick stitching and even sewing buttons on and making beautiful buttonholes. It seems to me, many people shy away from setting in a zip by machine, never mind by hand which is an exquisite finish. Perhaps this can generate greater pattern interest and sales if your customers know exactly how to achieve that final fabulous finish. I do want fantastic success for all at the Foldline as your service, enthusiasm and joy are infectious in the best possible way. Much love, Sally from South Africa

[@derynporter5287]

Good idea. There is a lot of help out there for beginner sewists - which I have benefitted from - I’m sure there are lots of us who are now ready to be taken to the next level.

[@SewVeryLaura]

I agree! This would be really value added and great for sewists who can't/ don't want to go to in person workshops.

[@TheFoldLine]

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts Sally!

[@christinesandarsmontgomery3269]

I love my labels from Kylie and the machine, so useful and they definitely soothe my OCD soul. 😁

[@diane5299]

Having just organized my fabric, I thought I would share. Here in the US we have remnants that are generally less than a yard sold at a discount. They are rolled (folded a second time, fold to selvage) with a strip of paper taped at the center to hold them together. So, I was able to roll almost all of my fabrics (some were a bit too bulky) and bought some cheap ikea bookshelf’s to put them on. I organized the fabric by shelves….small cuts, cotton, childrens prints, knits, flannel,etc. I put all the information on the paper strip. I love it! They are all easily visible. I also scored some cheap magnetic Roman shades from ikea that were the width of the shelves. I pull them down to prevent dust and fading 😊 For those who knit, it sort of looks like the yarn cubbies they have at some knit shops.

The lantern sleeves on that Puff & Pencil Luna Vest and kite sleeve! 😍

[@leannewarren]

I LOVE the fabric labels idea so much... especially with my menopausal goldfish memory and ever growing fabric stash. Game changer!

[@tamarrein7792]

LOVE the Sylvan jacket and Audrey hooded scarf!!! Tried ordering Sylvan but it's only PDF--hoping for paper! Thank you so much for posting The Edit! Always feels like a delightful chat with a friend!

[@TheFoldLine]

It's great! We will add the paper option as soon as it comes out ☺️

[@KindnessOnline]

OMG this fabric ID tape has changed my sewing stash and the way I feel about it! No more trying to figure out if there is enough yardage for my project. ALSO, I can write which project I was thinking about when I bought the fabric. " Sourced from" and "Previously Washed" are a MUST.

[@juliadroy1179]

Thank you Kate, great patterns as usual, love the Tessuti dress beautiful xx

[@TheFoldLine]

Thank you! 😊

[@mlrsolutionsrugani7594]

That scarf pattern is the pattern you didn’t know you needed!

[@SewVeryLaura]

That Sylvan jacket is fab! You could make it lots of times and always get a different look. Great videos as always, thank you Kate.

[@TheFoldLine]

You are so welcome!

[@mel_issa__]

I have been watching your videoss for many many years and I glad you talked about retail being lower than usual. Just got two roles of tape and two merchant and Mills patterns from your website. I will try harder to purchase from your website instead of directly from the company.

[@TheFoldLine]

That is so kind of you. It is very humbling to have so much support and feed back on how we can do even more ❤️

[@l.baughman1445]

Audrey by Merchant and Mills scarf hoodie is so historical! 1800’s ish. That how it seems to me.

[@rosey_ie]

Hi Kate! With the explainer that your usual content would continue, you should absolutely go ahead with a membership/Patreon for those in a position to support you additionally in that way! 👌🏻

[@kadairh]

Another who loves the labels thanks for adding them to your shop!

[@gayprendergast7102]

Got some of those labels from you. They are brilliant. Tnk you

[@marywallace5248]

I will definitely be buying the sundress and I do love a paper pattern! So glad you will still be doing the vlogs. All retail is suffering at the moment so making our own clothes is a good option. It’s not cheap but you get a beautiful garment and can spend exactly what you want. I know my friends envy the process! Keep these beautiful patterns coming! The Foldline is such an amazing company!

[@janevellenderartist]

love the pocket option on the jacket

[@ginahayes6169]

Love this jacket/coat the sleeves are like lanterns!! Gotta have it in creamy white wide whale corduroy!!!

[@thenorthernsewist]

Wow! What fantastic patterns Kate! I love them! They’ve really made me think about possibilities 😍I’m sorry I didn’t send you a comment about your ideas, I’ve had a very busy week, they sound very interesting. So glad you are continuing with your weekly pattern edits though, I really look forward to them. Thankyou so much Kate, you and your team are amazing and keep me and I’m sure many many others going with inspiration. Your wonderful 😘❤️

[@TheFoldLine]

No worries! Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰

[@VeretenoVids]

I bought those labels last fall. LOVE them!

[@TheFoldLine]

Me too!!

[@smunday8559]

Kate, when you talk about adding a wedge at the back, can you say/blog some more about that? Also, thank you for confirming you'll continue this as it is 😊

[@susanhemion2981]

I think you could make that tessuti sundress in a corduroy with a turtle neck under and it would be great for our snowy Montana winter.

[@patriciaebejer9962]

I think that scarf in something like organza with thinner ties would be great for a second wedding as a headdress where no veil is wanted.

[@annerankin1191]

The Sylvan jacket is the bomb!!! So much fun! Big hugs to you and the team! I think retail is sticky everywhere in the world right now! XOX

[@janetgasston9888]

Thank you Kate. Lovely see you on Sunday morning, makes a good start to the week x

[@brendawyber6556]

Hi Kate, like one of your other viewers I feel like we are old friends. I live in Canada, so Sunday morning are: Feed the dog, cup of coffee (lived in the UK for 2 years so sometimes I am in tea mode, but hot beverage) cuddle up with the dog and watch the Fold Line. When I saw the hood/scarf my mind immediately went to Queen Elizabeth at Balmoral 😊. Although I think hers were mostly silk scarves. Keep the videos coming. ❤️❤️

[@ynys_mon6928]

What a brilliant idea from Kylie and the Machine.I’ve started pinning a piece of paper with details so I don’t get confused between plain fabrics. This is even better though.

[@louloureads3953]

I love that summer dress! I’m always on the lookout for things that are suitable to wear to work on those rare hot days, and I think the fact that it has wide straps and isn’t too low means it would fit the bill.

[@susansatchwell8482]

I liked these patterns…wanting to make a linen dress this month for spring summer use. Some ideas with short sleeves and loose fit would be lovely. Like the scarf

[@jennetthamilton971]

I think this I the first ime I have ever said to myself, ooh I want all of those patterns. My BFF is a farmer lady and often wears a kerchief over her hair, always reminding me of the late Queen Elizabeth. I think that hood would be perfect for her, lightweight fabric for half the year, maybe fleece for the other half.

[@meacelestin]

Re: the KATM labels, I don't have info on the glue but, as a museum tech, I would caution against sticking it in the middle of the yardage. It's safer to keep it to the cut edge or the selvedge, in case the glue transfers due to #deepstash If a pencil can be used, also prioritize this over an ink pen or permanent marker. Enjoyable video, as usual.

[@annaforsaeus2216]

Love this, and especially the Puff & Pencil jacket. But would someone please ask them to use a flash defuser of some sort for the photographs? :D It's so difficult to see with the harsh shadows.

[@fl0l0g]

Tape is out of stock, what a great idea.

[@TheFoldLine]

We have placed another BIG order so it will be back soon!

[@dorothytomniuk4106]

Love the stickers!

[@TheFoldLine]

Me too!!

[@patricianaezer1077]

Instantly bought the tape! You are right: I do need this (but did not know that I did)!!

[@BridgetEscolme]

If the paid-for content is going to be a whole other thing, I'd definitely subscribe! I'm still imagining an extension of the Brand Edit/Find That Pattern with hacking tutorials to make a pattern look more like The Thing in the shop or film. Off to watch Sezane now...

[@TheFoldLine]

Thank you for sharing. We are cooking plans!

[@debbiecarter6430]

Thanks Kate 😊

[@thejuniebugs]

Thanks again for the wonderful video!❤

[@TheFoldLine]

You are so welcome!

[@SewMyTime]

I so agree re Tessuti patterns. I love them. So sorry retail sales are down. I think your site is brilliant and I do get 95% of my patterns from you as the service is so good. And yes, bought several in January but I know a lot of people have January buying bans. Hopefully will pick up soon. 😊 Lynne

[@TheFoldLine]

Thank you so much for your support Lynne 😘

[@TwistedKnickers.design]

You were right although you posted this video only about ten hours ago, the fabric labels were sold out!

[@OnePoetWanderer]

I should probably start buying more fabric so that I have a reason to need the labels. 😉Also, I think I need to make the scarf for my mother-in-law who is always cold. (Maybe if I make her a scarf my brother-in-law will stop telling me I should make her a muumuu. I am not in the least bit interested in sewing clothes for other people.)

[@Rangechick]

Thsnks!!!

[@kathygann7632]

The fabric labels are genius! Will the adhesive stay on the fabric and leave marks?

[@TheFoldLine]

It does! It's designed to leave no residue when you remove it but if you're not sure about your fabric, maybe test it on a small corner for a few days to be sure ☺️

[@majsmarken118]

Would really have loved to buy the fabric-labels. But I live outside UK and have to pay around GBP 20 in taxes when I order from UK 😢

[@sphhyn]

I found the label tape in different German shops. If you live in the EU you might find other sellers.

[@murielbailiwick2978]

I have been cataloguing my fabric for years with exactly the info as on the sticky labels. My info also includes price per metre and a small sample of the fabric. All filed in leverarch files so I browse the file rather than flicking through fabric…..

[@TheFoldLine]

That's a great idea!

[@AliceBaker]

I own the fabric labels and like them, but a ballpoint was the only pen that wouldn't smudge

[@JaqueBampi]

How about going to Korea? 😊

[@orielmitchell2844]

Why don't you sell the Tessuti Dress in PDF format - will you get that later?

[@TheFoldLine]

I'm afraid we don't have the PDFs for Tessuti (we would love to!) but you should be able to purchase it directly from the designer 😀

[@india1422]

I snapped up two of the ID tapes

[@TheFoldLine]

Woooooooo! 🥳

[@garden4561]

Both jackets are gorgeous, but no darts means a mega faff with an fba - put in a dart yerself - for us persons with big boobs. Be nice to have more pattern suggestions with darts as they make adjustments so much easier. But you are brilliant at your job Kate!

[@victoriaconstantine-cort3091]

Hi.!!! xXX👍👍👍

[@elizharber3564]

[@gayprendergast7102]

All those buttonholes yikes😢
