I wasn't really sure about this pattern until I saw this on you! So lovely!!

[@NewsfromtheGrove]

I would only tackle a project like this because you do such a wonderful job showing us how to make those sleeves. I wasn't even considering this until I watched your video and stylings! Fabulous as always! Will be using your link to buy!

[@maidenmakesreviews]

You got me again!! I didn't think I wanted this pattern until I saw you in yours! Divine!! I have used your link. Thanks again for the tutorial, you make it look easy. x

[@karenbensdon4643]

It’s interesting how the design looks elegant-vintage in drapy fabric and more peasant-style in structured fabric with the sleeve short. Thank you for the tutorial. As always, I look for your video before making my decision.

[@moyralouise7123]

Purchased through your link, thanks for the vid 😊

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Hope you like it!

[@brendahunter7298]

This pattern looks great on you! All versions.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thanks!

[@sallyadams3981]

You look so pretty in the black polka top and skirt out fit. 😊

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thankies :)

[@noeleengayjess8416]

I have been waiting for your video to order this pattern. I am in Australia and Kate did her video yesterday, but waited to order till now. Thank you for all your knowledge that you share with us. Happy sewing. ❤

[@bridgetrsews]

Thank you Karina, you are so inspiring! I wouldn’t have tackled this sleeve without your help , bought it through your link , Bridget R

[@leannekenna]

Thankyou so much for your sewing tips Karina. It is really valuable to see how this top goes together. I also love the garments you paired the tops with. Will be using your link to purchase.🥰

[@gertrudewelsh781]

Very beautiful tops. I love them both.

[@krankywitch]

Thank you for another wonderful inspiring video. I wasn’t sure about this pattern, but now I can’t resist. I’d love to make the low scoop, but I have narrow shoulders and am fed up with doing pattern adjustments, so I’ll just make the middle neckline 🫤 I would love it if one day you could make a video on narrow shoulders *without* an FBA - I don’t need an FBA, just a narrower shoulder 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJnSimpsod91d7csi=0_u2Li0klqog4ryW the shoulder has nothing to do with an FBA. Theres the video all about it 😀

[@suek7086]

I bought the pattern a couple of hours ago. I’m looking forward to seeing your versions.

[@Escape10mom]

Love those sleeves! Beautiful makes Karina!! Now I have to get this pattern!!

[@AussieTracy]

That's what Napisan/white king is made for - white tops and sloppy folks like me 😂😂 I actually didn't think I'd like this pattern until I saw your white version. 💕💕

[@jeanklemm2153]

I knew as soon as I saw the pre-release email I was going to buy this pattern and I have been waiting for your review so I can use your affiliate link. Very thorough as always thanks Karina. Can’t wait to get started 🎉

[@robynlaszlo6128]

Was waiting for your video as you explain so well it looks gorgeous will be ordering it thank you 😊😊😊

[@clayjenkins9681]

Such a pretty top !!! Looking fit and fab 👍🏻 KJ

[@annesmith478]

Beautiful makes Karina. The polka dots is my favourite.

[@lemtaz]

I vaguely remember doing that sleeve finish on bubble skirts back in the 80's.

[@annazann7236]

The sleeves are lovely and really nice design. ❤

[@jackiturner9228]

Love both!

[@Cambrilsbirds]

I usually buy the live notions through your link. I have never used this brand pattern. Love this white shirt m. Will definitely try

[@dale3404]

I recently bought a white top like this one and love it. I’m inspired to make more in different colors, so I appreciate for this information.

[@lighthseskr]

Such beautiful shirts. Just gorgeous and looks pretty simple to sew thanks to your wonderful video. Thanks for such great content.🎉

[@helenwood3199]

White shirt looks sooo good tucked into the skirt.

[@kandacek63]

Very cute construction. Too bad I’d probably look like a linebacker if I made this. But I just might try it.

[@dotschischloh9767]

Lovely. I’m a sucker for polkadots.

[@SashasRevenge]

Love your personality! 😉

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Oh thank you!

[@SashasRevenge]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles , pure honesty from my part! ❤️👍🏼

[@cathtaylor2771]

Beautiful, ive got a dress with those sleeves, its polyester though and quite warm. Ordered through your link. Thankyou Karina.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’ve all but stopped using polyester woven fabrics at this point. It’s too hot for them.

[@cathtaylor2771]

I'm a less confident sewer, so I buy a lot of my clothes, ive noticed from a wide range of shops that any gorgeous dresses or tops they sell are polyester, I steer clear of them now because if me having hot sweats. Xx

[@lindak8664]

That short sleeve white one looks so fresh on you! Love it 🥰 …getting white dirty 😂 i just spilt chocolate ice cream down the front of my dress. Oh, and it seems it also went in my hair 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 I’m undecided about this top. My shoulders are very wide and drawing further attention to them with a balloon sleeve doesn’t seem like a good decision to me. But the two longer options are quite nice too. Decisions, decisions.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Definitely the longer sleeve would not have the volume the short one does. I think it can all be balanced with wider bottoms too :)

[@christineennis4766]

I love the sleeves I suppose you could save fabric by lining with something else same wait . .love the spot one.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Yep. I scoured my stash looking for a light white fabric and I didn’t have any. The “holes” in the embroidery would let you see other fabric under there.

[@cathtaylor2771]

I've ordered this pattern through your link, Karina. I've got some viscose i would love to make this top in. Could i use a firmer fabric as the inner sleeve to help make the sleaves bubble out a little, or wouldn't it work ?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

It would work :) I’d use cotton inside.

[@sharonnickels2788]

I really like this pattern. My question is, do you think the sleeves are gathered too much to wear under a sweater or jacket?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Yes I do. That’s why I didn’t style them under something else.

[@divergentone7491]

The top looks good on you. A little too cutesy for my taste. Never been a fan of puffy sleeves.

[@ranidesilva2680]

I am again here. Why don' t you show how to make pattern blocks, cut the fabric and sew? I am Rani De Silva from Sri Lanka. Love your explaining with a sweet smile. May God bless you! Are you from Australia? Need a quick reply please.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Hi. I won’t be making blocks because that type of content does not work for most of the people who watch my channel. I focus on patterns. I’ve been on KZbin for 8 years already and know what works for my channel. I’ve done the block thing in the past and got few views.
