I have never seen anyone else do a video like this. I love that you show off the patterns in this way. I have no imagination and only see the patterns as presented. This was so enlightening and encouraging. As a matter of fact, I just purchased the Forte pattern and adore your suggestions for it. Thank you so very much!

[@TomKatStitchery]

I’m so glad you enjoyed this! I love filming these types of videos!

[@suek7086]

I love these ideas and since Love Notions are my favorite patterns I am thrilled to try these looks. I own way too many of their patterns and just bought another 10 on Sat. Now it seems I need to get some more, lol. What I need most of all is a printer that doesn’t jam all of the time. I guess I am off to buy one of those, too.

[@kmbuckhill9309]

Purchased my first Love Notions pattern last week. It was the Terra Tunic. I'm totally amazed at the number of views each pattern has. One of the views is the same as a Butterrick that I was going to purchase for $17. The Love Notions gave me an additional four unique views. Thanks for bringing our attention to some of the indie companies as they are giving us some new styles for the mature women.

[@janematthews6579]

The Luna Lounge Wear is wonderful because it has so many options. I like the fact that the chosen fabric determines whether the garment is sleepwear, lounge wear, or outside wear.

[@denisedorsey2889]

I'm new to garment sewing and just found your channel as well as Love Notions Patterns. I would choose the Lyric peplum pattern. The sleeve variations alone are amazing. You did a fantastic job of matching these looks with patterns. I'm excited to sew!

[@mlilledahl]

I love all of this but the one that got me excited to sew is the Presto tunic. Good job getting so many ideas flowing!

[@suelyall5968]

Love the willow wrap dress. But oh my gosh Witney, you've done it again, love these pattern matching videos .......just genius, thank you 😀

[@shelleycassky1125]

Well Whitney this is one of my top 10 favorite videos of yours and now I want to get all of those patterns. You're a great ambassador for Love Notions! If I had to pick one I'd say the Summer Basics as I live in tank style tops and dresses in the summer. Thanks for putting this together and enabling us!

[@brendalindsay5419]

Now that I watched the whole video you convinced me I need Tidal Top and Dress, Melody Dolman, Summer Basics and the Harmony Blouse and in all fairness i have them on my wish list for a long time!!!

[@georgianasstudio]

I have seen the Sybill skirts made up and they are absolutely stunning! So many variations...endless options.

[@tamarapayne7564]

I love your videos I smile all the way through them and a few chuckles thrown in. Love the Luna Loungewear lots of different variations that can be gained. Great for both day and nightwear perfect for our hot Aussie summers.

[@lesliez1652]

Summer Basics is my choice... you have convinced me to try something other than the Big 4. Still not crazy about the paper, ink and tape but you have shown me a list of Love Notions to get working on. Thank you for all the suggestions.

[@jmfred2726]

Allegro pants shorts and skirt pattern looks great. Thanks for a look at a pattern line that's new to me. Happy Mother's Day to you and all your viewers--another one of our under appreciated heroes .

[@cstahl4994]

So many great ideas. I would start with the Summer Tank. All about comfy and cool right now!

[@peggyriordan9857]

I just ordered the loungewear pattern last night!! I think I will order the Summer Basics one tonight. I love that tiered dress. I wish I was good at picking out patterned fabric for myself. I get caught up thinking I'm going to look like a tank coming down the sidewalk if I wear a sizable pattern. I need to get over that.... Thanks for all of the ideas!

[@beckytheobsessedstitcher1170]

I too am a huge Live Notions fan. The block fits me very well. I have also used the patterns for my grand kids. My favorite go to is the classic tee. At the moment. Looking forward to many others as my list of favorites grow!

[@DeeND47]

What a very enjoyable video. I only wish I could sew faster so I could get them all done before the end of the year.😉 My favorite pattern would be the Vanguard kit. My great grandson could use some new clothes, he’s growing so fast and having all the sizes in one pattern would be great.

[@roseperez9684]

Summer basic, would love to make multiple versions of this tanks and dress. Thanks for the inspiration! Keep on sewing! Love the videos.

[@nicolewilson4055]

Well good one Whitney 😀. I already own a few Love Notions patterns and love them. I saw the sale and thought nah I don’t need anymore and then you go and do such a great ideas video and now I need to buy some after all. Anyway awesome video. Oh and I really like the Summer Caye pants.

[@patticlark9321]

The Forte dress would be fun to make. They definitely have many variations on each pattern- that’s really great!

[@TrudiKnitter]

You really sold me on the Forte top and dress. I hadn't heard about Love Notions patterns until a friend mentioned them after they saw your video. Thank you!

[@robynjury4403]

Fantastic vlog! Well I just don’t think I can resist the Rhapsody blouse and dress. Lovely patterns overall and great to see how they fit with RTW trends.

[@bogdem9610]

The Summer Basics is definitely full of summer basics. I can see this in all of the versions.

[@marybethrutledge351]

Definitely The Summer Caye! That's a versatile pattern to recreate so many fun summer rtw styles!

[@amaliacollins8408]

Hi - wow thank you so much for putting in so much time to create all the looks! They were all right on point! I would love the Luna set! Thank you again

[@katee7889]

I have quite a lot of Love Notions patterns and have loved the ones I have made up so far. The cup sizes swing it for me massively. The pattern I don't yet have and I don't know why, as it looks brilliant, is the Sloane. I now have a burning desire to add that to my collection of LN patterns!

[@hillarygriffin8652]

Love the Luna Lounge set and the Summer Basics. Great video to inspire some new sewing projects!

[@magsohara7908]

OMGA - I’m going to have to rewatch this vlog - so many fabulous looks I have 10 LN patterns but I’ve only made up 4 of them !! However the MELODY DOLMAN looks like a winner - super easy and smart Thanks Whitney 🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@heidefries1825]

What a great way to see the potential in the LN patterns! The Tessa Sheath Dress would be a pattern I'd love to have ... although it is a basic dress there are a lot options to change the look.

[@tknow9298]

Sabrina Slims is my favorite Love Notions pattern and my favorite knit pants pattern. With just a little effort and a lot of help from the Love Notions fitting directions, I have a perfect pattern. The fit is wonderful.

[@ginahayes6169]

Really like all Love Notions Patterns, I’ve made Laundry Day T, 3 times, and the Constellation Hoodie in a beautiful black velour w/copper studs in the fabric!! Patterns are very well drafted and instructions are exceptional and easy to follow. Thanks for you great vlog!! Plan to purchase some at this great price!! 🙋🏻‍♀️❤️❤️❤️ I especially like the Harmony Blouse!! I have a rayon Batik I want to use it for!

[@pegiweber5265]

gina hayes I love the Laundry Day pattern

[@joycehayhow8]

Really fun video! You’ve given me some great ideas for the Love Notions patterns I already own. I loved your idea of keeping the tank pattern handy for using up big fabric scraps but don’t own a tank pattern I love. I would be thrilled to try Summer Basics.

[@sheilasmidt427]

Thank you again Whitney for the new looks. I’m becoming more adventurous with colour and would like to have the WILLOW WRAP DRESS pattern.

[@marathonfortruth4768]

That Luna loungewear collection is so cool. Love your idea of using the bra as a shelf bra insert in the tank.

[@pegasusdancing]

I love the Lyric dress. I think that would be so flattering on so many people. And I love a good, easy dress to throw on in the summer.

[@sueb4368]

Hard to pick. Probably the Melody Dolman blouse. They are all great.

[@pattykingkade5778]

What a fun video, thank you. I have never used a love notions pattern, in fact had never heard of them before watching your videos. It would be hard to choose just one, but think it would be the Willow Wrap.

[@spatch1000]

Did buy the Rhapsody and it joins another 6 Love Notion Patterns. They are so easy to sew and fit. I would love the Tidal dress because I find the princess seams flattering and think even though it is such a classic shape, the big black and white graphic fabric I have will be able to pop with this pattern.

[@lauramartens5516]

Like you, I think I would get a lot of looks from the Rhapsody blouse. I like them all really, it's hard to single out just one. Thanks for letting us know about the sale, I have been anxious to try Love Notions and like the idea that there is not additional cutting of the edges.

[@sewknitbeadgrandma]

Summer Basics is one I don't have at the moment. Thanks for the tip to keep the undies &Tank Top handy at the cutting table.

[@tracesew4512]

The tidal top would look fantastic with so many prints and sooo easy to wear!

[@nancynewman6592]

Amazing match ups! I have so many of these patterns, but your Ladies Tidal Tank looks really cool the way you presented it 😃 🇨🇦

[@maryplatt5494]

I have made the Harmony top twice but have no place to wear them. I love the Constellation Hoodie pattern. Thanks for this video ... I am not great at altering patterns but this video has opened my eyes to future possibilities.

[@remajones5271]

Good, fun video! I like how closely the patterns match up to the inspiration pics. I’d love to have the loungewear pattern.

[@laurieschmitz3897]

I loved your video, Whitney! I love all of your videos.I’m a subscriber and I really liked the way you matched up the patterns to ready-to-wear fashions. Excellent job of matching them up! If chosen as the winner I would like the Tessa Dress pattern.

[@megangeyer1256]

I've loved every Love Notions pattern I've made, but the Summer Basics is so versatile and easy!

[@louisestevens5267]

Thank you for all the wonderful videos. I have learned so much from you, sewing has really changed. I have not sewn for years, your information is wonderful. Would love to have the TANK AND TOP.

[@juliearmstrong9126]

So difficult to choose from so many wearable beauties! BUT I think the lyric might be my go to. Thanks for an informative view.

[@alexandrawellington8028]

You are such an influencer!!!! Awesome round up, thank you so very much for doing this, really helpful...now I need the Summer Caye pattern xxxx

[@lindastevens8304]

Love the way it wraps in front.

[@dorenekemp710]

Love your site and the fact that you have petite proportions. I also have to make those changes also. I like the Harmony Blouse pattern. Thanks!

[@McEArt]

Thank you! I love all the info re fabrics and how to pair :) I would love to try the Summer Basics Tank

[@grannaboo03]

Great video, I love your idea of comparing catalogue with these patterns. 👍🏼💕I have quite a few of these patterns, but I don’t have Tessa, the Luna lounge wear set, or summer basics.

[@RhondaLorch]

Great video Whitney. Totally into the Summer Caye pattern. I've already purchased 3 Love Notions patterns and I'm loving them. Perfect for us bigger busted women!

[@dianemorrall2687]

I like the Summer basics Tank. You've done well to match up the patterns with RTW.

[@picknstitch]

The Harmony blouse would be a perfect base piece. So many variations I could do with this. Thanks!

[@dianel2232]

I'm going to try these patterns. I want to watch the video again to study some more, but they're SO affordable... I appreciate the views/comments that you provided. I think that I would go with the Summer Caye Pants, Capris & Shorts pattern to start if i had to choose only one...Thanks for the ideas and info!

[@byaqvileja4707]

My favorite pattern right now is the Rapsody, love the loose fit and that it makes me look a little slimmer anyway.

[@lauralongland6176]

I really liked this video. There are so many amazing patterns so hard to choose a favourite but I think the lounge set looks really versatile

[@annettaholmes5685]

Summer Caye pants! Awesome video this morning. I so enjoy starting my day watching you.

[@Torontogal777]

Great video! I’d love to see more videos like this. Very helpful! Sometimes it’s hard to envision a garment based on the blase line drawings and/or limited photos the pattern companies provide.

[@TomKatStitchery]

I"m so glad you enjoyed it! I love doing these types of videos so stay tuned for more!

[@MicheleBonna]

Your video really helped me look more closely at some of these patterns which I previously dismissed as "not for me" or "to much like something I already have". :) After going to the website to really go through them, I was left with my initial favorite as the winner.. the Lyric dress/shirt stayed in first place as my favorite. Four others made the cart. You are a terrible enabler LOL ;)

[@bigandnoisey]

I love the Presto Tunic in that gorgeous blue, peach, lime green... so many ideas from this video!

[@d2yodi]

The Allegro! I loved your suggestion to widen the leg. I'd make it very loose fitting out of the denim color sand washed rayon that I have! Your ideas are so inspiring!!! Thank you 😁💕🧵

[@tamarmiles8839]

What a fun video! The Summer Caye Pants will be my choice, love the versatility they have. (but so glad I have the option to change my mind 😏)

[@debwild2261]

I'd love the Sybill Illusion Skirt. It's so versatile it would be amazing to have for all seasons. Love your podcast

[@tamaragahart3172]

Tidal tank top was my favorite. I just went and bought 6 patterns while they were 1/2off. I used your link from the summer Caye pants to get to the Love notions web sight. But make sure you get credit for selling all 6 parents because I had never heard of them before I started watching you and I have never printed of a pattern before either but I not getting any younger so it's no time like the present. You give me inspiration to see again and try new things. Thanks!

[@tamaragahart3172]

I need to check my spell check , I hope you understand what I meant to say before spell check helped me.

[@alexismather6485]

Summer Basics is my favourite!! Have made both maxi and knee length empire dress. Sooo flattering!

[@dotz2669]

I love patterns with lots of options! The Lyric dress looks like it would be nice to hack up some options.

[@peggydid]

I have 5 on my list! But, I want to sew the summer caye shorts first! There are *so* many lovely patterns to choose from! Hugs!

[@vmac5987]

Thanks for another inspiring video. Planning on buying the harmony blouse - it looks like such a workhorse of a pattern.

[@gaylehegarty9161]

Definitely the summer basics for the empire line. I have so many already but overlooked this!

[@laurawelsh1016]

I loved the Melody Dolman. I don’t have any Love Notion patterns yet but I’m definitely going to look at their sale now. X

[@patbirthelmer2358]

I have the perfect fabric for the tank top in the Summer Basics pattern. Love all the ones you have made!!!

[@jorjaprice2190]

Just purchased the rhapsody last week so this video has inspired me to look at more...I think first I will do the Tessa sheath dress or Sybil Illusion skirt.

[@janiswadsworth9369]

I love so many of the love notion patterns you showed I need a great tank top pattern and wondered what you were using

[@sharonnewport7257]

What a fabulous video I often look at store windows to get ideas, however as we are in lockdown this was great. I would love the Forte dress

[@cschwab2969]

I need more shorts, so the Caye would be fabulous! Thank you for the opportunity

[@susan571]

I don't know. I've just become familiar with LN patterns after seeing your rhapsody blouse video. I'm thinking I'm going for the Lyric Dress or Tidal Top, or Summer Basics. Great video by the way.

[@Hide_and_silk]

I have most of them....thanks to your very bad influence, Whitney haha!! I would go for the Summer Caye Pants as I love the tulip front detail...but would adjust the pants to make them a little narrower. Another great video Xx

[@beochar]

I love the idea of lengthening the Presto Tunic into a dress!

[@claudinepropes9404]

Great promotion for Love Notions Patterns! I love their patterns also. I would pick the Presto Tunic.

[@lindathompson5420]

Love how you compare patterns with ready to wear! So many choices....I think the Cadence is dreamy. Thanks again for making my day!!!

[@SunShine-000]

Thanks Whitney! I have just ordered. My first foray with LN patterns. Getting the Melody dolman, Willow wrap dress and the Willow Wrap Top, and the Lyric Dress!

[@nutmegknitting8912]

The laundry day t would be a great addition to my wardrobe. Easy to wear and style. Love your vlogs daily therapy.

[@physioontheriver7325]

I really like the wrap dress. I do feel that Love Notions patterns on the packet look quite frumpy but when you see them made up they look really nice. It’s hard to see beyond the packet! Other Indie designers have a more modern aesthetic. I think they need to modernise the look of their patterns. I love the fact that they have so many variations in one pattern! Amazing.

[@sandy.is.sewing]

The Lyric is my favorite. Your suggestions for recreating RTW were great. I plan to purchase 6 patterns!

[@martaaberg3330]

Summer Caye pants, definitely! I've been looking for a pants/short pattern just like that.

[@jennk9326]

I have autoimmune issues, too, and I'm always in the hunt for things that look tailored but feel like PJ's. You have sold me on the Summer Caye pants and shirts pattern.

[@alisonhay4890]

I went and checked out Love Notion Patterns and may have purchased a few on sale thanks to you! But I need the Rhapsody!

[@charlenejutras1595]

I have most of these you talked about except for the Luna Loungewear, and I would like to try it. This is a fun video.

[@baxter3877]

Your a bad influence as I just purchased seven patterns! Thank you for all the information you provide to help us make better fitting garments.

[@maryjanemason7290]

I love a bunch but I think I would get a lot of use from the Harmony blouse pattern.

[@carmenfringer4740]

Ohhhh the choices... I'm trying to get into wearing dresses after my weightloss so I think the Forte would maybe be a great option for me..or the Lyric..since both have sleeve options that would maybe be flattering for me.

[@cornetgurl05]

Enjoyed sewing up the Rhapsody yesterday. Maybe allegro? Maybe lyric? Thanks for the inspiration.

[@vickiwalsh5099]

Hi Whitney. I would choose the Forte Top and Dress pattern from the Love Notions beautiful range. As a singer I'm always on the lookout for interesting patterns to make my performing clothes, and from this pattern I could make several different looks. Thank you for displaying this pattern.

[@sandynewhartpo2666]

I would love to try the willow wrap dress. It would be a nice change from making masks! Take care😊

[@karenroth3652]

I think I would try the lyric... Send like so many great options!

[@jenniferfranko4686]

I love the Summer Caye Pants and Shorts the idea of elastic on the back is perfect for those of us with a little extra back there. ;)

[@kristinbarrett5912]

I love so many of their patterns that is was very difficult. I think I would go with Luna Loungewear! My daughter and I both need comfortable clothes to wear around the house as the Georgia heat increases.
