Wardrobe Basics for a Cohesive Handmade Wardrobe | Plus An Announcement!

[@marjorieschuster5941]

While watching this video I notice your hair styles. As a retired hair stylist I am telling you that the hair style you look fab in is that red with bangs is your best look. What you are wearing does not carry off you lovely features.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you! I get bored with my hair and change it up quite frequently. I'm sure the bangs will be back again!

[@coachcasey9823]

I’m so excited for your success and to see your channel community grow! Your videos have been hands down the most helpful over the last couple of years, not just with techniques but style, fabric, pattern selection, everything. Can’t wait to see what else is in store!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm so glad to read that!

[@teresastevens2084]

Whitney, I’m rather late to the game here, but sometimes life happens and you get behind in what is most important: Sewing! Which includes watching TomKat Stitchery on KZbin! You can’t imagine where my imagination took me when you gave us a little hint with a huge smile that an announcement was forthcoming! Well, this is better than anything I could come up with! It is certainly taking your Brand to the next level. I’ve learned that you are not going to have a cohesive wardrobe, bespoke or purchased from a retailer, unless you follow a few rules. These rules actually make life so, so easy for the sewist as well as the shopper. What you have done here is to put everything one needs into a concise workbook for us and for that I am truly appreciative! The newsletter is going to a wonderful feature of TomKat Stitchery to be sure! This episode was an awesome precursor to what I am sure is going to be a very successful venture! Hugs!

[@TomKatStitchery]

Aww! Thank you so much!

[@sewingmamawyo1281]

Thank you Whitney for your wardrobe basics document. While I’m a senior (a fall based on 80s Color Me Beautiful) and expect to be living in a RV for the next year, meaning I’ll have to pare down my wardrobe, I have learned so much from you about cohesive capsules and that will be an absolute necessity with limited storage space. But please don’t forget those of us who are not full busted. It sounds more like I’m closer to your sister, average height but still short waisted, smaller bust, and curves in my lower half. I also have to highly recommend that you join the projector sewing world because most of the alterations you make are so simple if the pattern comes with a full bust option. Shortening patterns can be done by moving your cutting board the appropriate amount. I use the projector exclusively when sewing for my grandkids now (about 75% of my sewing) and use Dorothy’s Daughter’s hybrid method when sewing for myself. I need to lower one shoulder, lower the bust, shorten the overall bodice. I’ve just never mastered Inkscape or Designer Affinity to be able to make all those changes so generally I trace the projected image of the bodice onto medical paper and then proceed to cut and paste all the alterations, then just use the skirt as projected. I save so much time and resources and my storage needs have greatly diminished. Check out the Projectors for Sewing Facebook group

[@TomKatStitchery]

I really need to look into the projector sewing more. I'll be honest that it intimidates me a bit!

[@ktrayan1]

You are definitely the most helpful sewing KZbin I’ve found! Even if I don’t want to sew the pattern you are sewing I always pick up useful tips and pieces of knowledge from you. Thanks for all you do! Love that fabric you’re wearing btw!

[@lynettedaniels1236]

Not only was this a wonderful video, I am so excited about your newsletter. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your channel. It is such a source of inspiration for me. And it’s a haven of comfort. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve rewatched videos just because I enjoy them so.

[@TomKatStitchery]

This makes me so happy! Thank you so much for this comment!

[@lynnm.johnson5755]

You are in my top 3 sewing video list. You give great tips for full busted women & I also look best in warm tones colors. I had my colors done years ago. It's very helpful. No more trying to look good in black or dark navy. I consider you a "sewing buddy". You inspire many.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I just love to read this! Thank you so much!

[@jenniferandrew3373]

This is so well timed! I've spent the last 2 years working on a me-made wardrobe and have a pile of linen on my cutting table right now. You came across my feed 2 weeks ago, and I really enjoy your channel! Cashmerette is my jam. It's dead easy to grade their patterns to fit my large-busted, very pear shaped body. Sewing my own clothes is really the only way I'll ever have a pair of pants actually fit properly.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm so happy you found my channel! Welcome! Cashmerette is so good!

[@kandacek63]

I saw a Cashmerette user post pix yesterday of her daughter’s wedding. She used three versions of the upland for her daughter’s gown. Satin under gown, a organza? Overlay, and then a reception dress.

[@TomKatStitchery]

Oh my gosh! I bet that was beautiful!

[@mariondunlop651]

All worked well with sign up for newsletter and free PDF. Thanks!!!

[@TomKatStitchery]

[@craftymystic4868]

Congratulations couldn’t happen to a better person! ❤️

[@TomKatStitchery]

Aww! That's so kind to say!

[@SewYourselfaCapsuleWardrobe]

I've subscribed to your newsletter! As you can see by my channel name, I'm an advocate of the capsule wardrobe philosophy myself and find that it's so much easier to have clothes that can be worn together so there's chance of less clothes sitting unloved and unworn in a drawer or closet, especially after taking the time and effort to make them 🙂 I just wanted to add that having watched an earlier video of yours right after this one (the one where you went on a sewing retreat weekend), your colours and style are just SO much more complimentary now! Your clothes are amazing and suit you so well 🙂

[@TomKatStitchery]

Thank you so much! I am right there with you with the capsule wardrobes. I'm also shocked when I look back at old footage and how much better my colors are now 😂.

[@judykski4916]

What a coincidence! I purchased the Upton w/expansion pack the last time Cashmerette had a buy 2/get 1 pattern sale. I will be attending a wedding in early 2023 and thought this would be the perfect pattern to create a special dress for the occassion. Have fun deciding which two versions you'll be making for your upcoming weddings!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I'm so excited to make that pattern up!

[@LostMyThread]

Oh Whitney, you are an absolute gem on KZbin. I love your channel, your style and your wardrobe planning. I am so excited to try this concept out, with the help of your checklist! Thanks for this and for always putting out awesome content!

Wow, what a great, timely and exciting announcement! I have been floundering trying to come up with a capsule summer wardrobe and I can't wait to use the checklist you developed. I know it is going to be so helpful. I love watching your videos and I am sure your website is going to be as informative and helpful. Just a thought, I save a lot of your videos for reference it would be helpful to find them on your website rather than weeding through all my saved KZbin videos looking for a specific sewing technique you have taught and explained. Love what you are doing for me personally and our sewing community.

[@TomKatStitchery]

[@pmclaughlin4111]

Skirt: just picked up Butterick 6866 a 6 gore skirt. I haven't made it yet but I am replacing an old TNT I prefer 6 gore because it allows for enough seam fitting and allows for better fabric uses I rediscovered shorter skirts as an alternative to shorts a while back and have been trying to nail down a skirt pattern that will go from bread to cake to frosting. Edit: I forgot to say thank you. This is coming at just the right time for me. So, thank you.

Hey awesome Whitney! During the last year I've lost over 40kg (thats close to 90 pounds in imperial - wow sounds ALOT in pounds!). Naturally that means my whole wardrobe - and I mean even right down to my underwear - needs replacing. I've dabbled in capsule wardrobes and wardrobe planning a little bit but its fair to say I lack follow through 😁. But I think with your support I can do this! I really look forward to planning out my makes. As it happens I'm starting with the Octave coat this weekend because next weekend I'm visiting my sister down south where is is COLD ( winter in NZ). I put my old parka on yesterday to see if I could still get away with it but my husband said "erm, bit big love" 😇. Your PDF sheets are so timely for me. Thank you and I'm signing up now!!!
