To all thinking about a me made wardrobe, Tomkat Stitchery is a fabulous guide. Whitney, I discovered your channel 5 years ago this month. I was recovering from my hysterectomy and surfing KZbin because with my changing body I wanted to return to garment sewing after quilting my way through active mothering while working. Your channel was an early find great inspiration. Love you! 🎉

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you for those kind words. I'm glad you found me and continue to watch and be insipired!

[@virginiajohnson4217]

Not a beginner, but I loved this! Sometimes I want an easy, sew with wine, project and other times I want a project that requires me to learn a new skill. You covered all the bases. Two new patterns added to my stash.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Excellent! Sometimes a quick and easy pattern is just what a fabric is calling for!

[@Bhd1812]

I love the idea of the virtual sewing conference! I'm stuck at home this month recovering from surgery and this sounds like a fun activity 🙂

[@JudithGarber]

The Belle skirt will be perfect for my granddaughters. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@TomKatStitchery]

You are so welcome!

[@karlawallace1633]

I have not done some real serious sewing for years. I’m dedicating this winter to sewing daily. I might need to start with some easy things to get my feet wet again. I really want to address fitting. I plan to really dive into my stash.

[@TomKatStitchery]

You can do it! I bet you have some great treasures in your stash!

[@shirin_shad]

@@TomKatStitchery I'm in the same situation but also dealing with hot/cold flashes. For me this means wearing mostly sleeveless tops and cardigans for easy change. Would be great if you do a video focusing on that 🙏

[@millysews5646]

Thanks for the pattern recommendations. Found a few I'd like to try.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Have fun!

[@victoriahannah1633]

Love the outfits. I just take my manual when I’m visiting family down in Florida. So I like just sewing simple things but still have some nice fashions.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Great idea!! And you are prepared if inspirations strikes!

[@victoriahannah1633]

@@TomKatStitchery No I’m too busy with appointments and trying to get ready to leave for our semiannual trip down to Florida. We leave November 1st and come back December 26. I’m a little overwhelmed but can’t wait to get my hands on my granddaughter & grandson.

[@dipsy552]

Thanks for the video I have been looking for a pattern like the Birch but cannot find the sizing anywhere.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I suggest you reach out to the pattern company directly and they can point you in the right direction.

[@dipsy552]

@TomKatStitchery yes, thank you. It's just kinda weird it is on some of their other patterns just not that one. And there is no general spot with sizing info.

[@TomKatStitchery]

@@dipsy552 That is odd. It may have just been an oversight on their part so I would definitely reach out!

[@KnitzyKitzy]

Another reason to stay away from the big four is that they do not have a lot of measurements for sizes on the envelope and nearly zero finished measurements. You will never get a bicep measurement. I also had a problem just now when I bought a woman’s size simplicity pattern. For some reason on size chart it says c cup but the high bust and full bust are 1 inch difference. Tried to email for help and they refused to help me. No indie pattern company would be so rude and they always give much more detail in body and finished measurements.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Independent Pattern companies do tend to be responsive and helpful if you reach out to them!
