The black, gray and white one is wonderfully amazing on the back... love it

[@texasproud8822]

I love the black, white and grey pattern work and the it fits perfectly.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😀

[@sherrelstroot3034]

The plaid looks really good on you! I am going to try this for my daughter and granddaughter. As always Karina, your makes look great and so creative.

[@CowgirlSugarCookie]

Fabric choices make these so amazing! Love your videos. Thank you for the inspiration!!

[@Chris-gh3hg]

You do such amazing work. It gives me joy to see it.

[@jeanettebadger8141]

Love that awesome dress!!

[@karenhively488]

That is so cute.❤️

[@margiehogan3315]

All lovely!

[@texasproud8822]

Incredible work on the plaid.

[@jeanettebadger8141]

Really nice, I need new shirts, so I might make that!! I have that pattern!!

[@seaside2001]

I like all 3. My favourite is the dress. Very pretty on you.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😀

[@debm460]

Love the pattern play. What stands out is your flair for design and technical execution. You took a basic pattern and scaled it up. 👍❤️🇨🇦

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I took ages to chose my fabrics😀😀

[@Marialla.]

You took a simple garment and made it so high-class with your bias cuts and pattern matching! I'm very impressed. You're my favorite sewing guru now!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Glad it was helpful!

[@robynlaszlo6128]

Always a great video and garments all are looking fabulous

[@monikawidensky8815]

Karin, this might be the prettiest knit dress I have seen in a long time. It has shape without being too clingy. The bottom part is not too voluminous, shaping in the back, perfect neckline. And your fabric choice is so gorgeous. I love this dress.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😀😀

[@maidenmakesreviews]

I purchased this with your link, I love this one on you. Thank you for teaching xx

[@louiseeiffel1014]

The line art for the top doesn't look particularly attractive to me, but seeing what you were able to make has convinced me to purchase the pattern. I think fabric choice is paramount. Maybe the short dress could work as a nightgown, too (in the right fabric). Looks very comfortable. Thanks for showing us your versions.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

For sure it can be a night gown. I also want to make a top with a hoodie 😀

[@suek7086]

I have had this pattern for quite a while but have never made it. I wasn’t overly impressed with the line drawings either but as soon as I can get to my printer I’m going for it. I have some ITY with stripes that would make an awesome dress.

[@janicek6399]

I rely like what you did with the plaid on the bias I'd love to show this to friends and have them admire it too, but I don't actually have local sewing friends!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I don’t have local sewing friends either 😬

[@margaretkendrick8618]

Thanks so much for the link to this pattern. I have to ready-to-wear tops that have this feature of the back wrapping around to make princess seams in the front and they are both very flattering. I was thinking I would have to create my own copy of the garments, but this pattern is perfect!! I really enjoy your tutorials and sew-alongs - you are very pleasant to listen to and watch and are very knowledgeable. I've been sewing for over 50 years (I'm old!) but I still have learned new techniques from you. Thanks again.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Aww such kind words. Thank you so much 😀

[@lorlor2831]

I love everything you made. The plaid is amazing but green is my favorite color. That dress fits so perfectly. Amazing job and thank you ❤️

[@macquadj]

Such good ideas to cut your fabric on the bias. It is very figure flattering 😊

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Oh thank you!

[@seamsuneven7824]

Really beautiful Karina! I know you made that skirt yourself it is sooo lovely! Please consider teaching us how to make one ourselves! It is EVERYTHING!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I have shown it already. In this video at 5:40 you can see how kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqS0op6ohZWLac0

[@laurajones4088]

Love the stripe and plaid play! Thanks for the inspiration-I may try this with an ombre stripe I have in my collection.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

That sounds fun!

[@t.davila2997]

Beautiful work with the plaid! I am very new to sewing and am inspired by your makes. Thank you for posting!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

You are so welcome!

[@christinemarshall1547]

Love the dress and the colours, looks great on, well done Karina.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😀

[@janep2776]

Another awesome video. I love the irregular stripes.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Me too!

[@jamilehbaadarani4740]

Great job as usual😘

[@eduardachi2571]

so cute Karina it looks lovely on you i cant get enough of your sewing u are so easy to understand and you are so pleasant and your love of sewing comes out very clear

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much!

[@kimbailey1754]

I love watching you sew. Thanks for showing us this interesting construction.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

You are so welcome!

[@lindak8664]

I got the email for this pattern this morning. I looked at and thought, No, not real keen on that. The image in the email really wasn’t appealing, and went to delete it. But then I suddenly thought, wait! Let me see what Karina does with it. Now i’m glad i waited 😄

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😀. I put a lot of thought into my fabric choices.

[@kristincrocker6204]

Enjoyed your video. I've picked your sewing UT because your are so detail fixated. Just like I and now learning to get what I want is to BASTE by hand.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

It makes a huge difference :)

[@georgiastewart5035]

Love the dress, beautiful fit on you and lovely fabric!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much!

[@nicolegooding7724]

Love how the plaid one looks. The pattern matching on the back seam is amazing! Beautifully done Karina. And then, I am always impressed with your makes. Thanks for this sewalong. This pattern has been in my stash a while and I'd forgotten about it.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

You need to make it. It’s such a satisfying sew 😀

[@annesullivan1171]

Beautiful line art. Looks lovely. I just got that pattern. ❤️

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I hope you enjoy making it :)

[@lemtaz]

You’re fabric choices always look amazing. Looking at your garments is so inspirational. 🖤

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Glad you like them!

[@sewingintrifocals-alisonde7778]

Oooo, Karina, I love knits! Knits are so forgiving. My imperfect figure needs forgiveness. 😂

[@Marialla.]

Love it! I can hardly wait to get this pattern now!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@pwoolard4150]

Would liverpool crepe work? I do not see many patterns that recommend this wonderful fabric.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I think Liverpool crepe is too heavy and thick for it. I see that type of fabric more suited to blazers and pencil skirts… even pants.

[@kristincrocker6204]

fogot to ask...What is the finished width of the neckbank you created?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

3/4”. I didn’t create it though. It’s included in the pattern :)

[@denisedorsey2889]

Karina, excellent as always. Question for you: would the all in one facing work for the tank version of this pattern? I really don’t like sewing neckbands and armhole bands. I’m going to purchase this pattern regardless (will use your affiliate link ). Thank you.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

An all in one facing would not be straight forward because there is no side seam. I don’t think I’d like a seam where the princess seam is for the facing…it has to join somewhere.

[@denisedorsey2889]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Thank you. I had forgotten about that lack of a side seam.

[@lindafansler7494]

Love all three garments, they are so stylish and fit you so well. What stitch length do you use when hemming knit garments with a twin needle?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

3.5 works well for me :)
