Happy Sewing ❤

[@makeitjoyful]

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

[@slee6799]

Love the top (fabric) you are wearing!

[@robertafahrni7169]

Thank you! Very helpful!

[@victoriahannah1633]

Love those tops. I really like one you are wearing. We spend quite a bit of time down in Florida and these would be so comfortable to wear.

[@mirtaPR]

Thank u for your reviews n honest opinions. Much appreciated 👍👏🏼

[@cathyswope5174]

Great review, thanks!

[@victoriahannah1633]

Lovely tops

[@brendazenteno7455]

Thanks Kim! This video is exactly the content I needed to jump start my summer sewing! I have so many bits of fabric and it's gonna be a hot summer! Wish me luck!

[@kellykranz7652]

Thank you for the video. I want to make woven tank tops too.

[@debbiegauvain8539]

Thank you, Kim, for reposting. This is a great roundup. I have several and I appreciate your explanation about the drafting and sewing techniques for each pattern. :)

[@robyn3349]

Thank you for the great reviews. I have made the Silhouette Tank #500 many times and love it. I have lengthened it into a dress, too.

[@louisestevens5267]

I am so happy you are back in the swing of things. God Bless and thank you for all you do. Wonderful video.

[@qormi1000]

Great video Kim. Very nice fabric for the top you are wearing. Thank you. xxx

[@mariamacksoud8284]

So much appreciated Kim. You are so genuine. Love you!

[@BetseyClaire]

Oh boy, that Love Notions pattern (not your FAVORITE-favorite, but the first one you shared) is going to be perfect for me. Thank you for sharing!

[@newcreations1064]

Very helpful VIdeo Kim. When your a newby sewer ,plus size,thees recommendations are just whats needed.Thank you.

[@tfrankum01]

Thank you so much! Absolutely loved this video! Gave me a few ideas for some fabric I have and was just mulling today that I need some tank tops.

[@dianaroberson3969]

Love the last fabric, the Rayon Challis ❤

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

Wonderful choice! I have 3 of the 10 just waiting to be made.

[@physioontheriver7325]

Thanks so much for your round up of tops! Diana

[@lindavictor8250]

Thanks...awesome video. Saw some new designers I hadn't seen before!

[@lindasutton937]

Thanks Kim that's a really great video, full of lots of information. There are at least 4 I am going to make.

[@annewhitney8809]

I usually treat bias binding like a facing. Stitch and turn. I serge the raw edge.

[@dale3404]

I detest facings, and prefer bias facings. I have cut facings, but make them narrow and serge the edges. This is like the child of a regular facing and a bias facing!

[@sonialorenzo9223]

Very good content! I trust your advice and definitely this is very good. That green top with the fabric from México is gorgeous.

[@dianemorrall2687]

Beautiful tops. I do like the Cadence and I have the pattern. Will definitely put it on the list for next Summer.

[@MGrahm02]

Thank you so much for the inspiration! 💕

[@lrainbala7144]

Thank you! Cadences is my favourite too! I also hacked the front of it to be a v neck and I ❤️ love it!

[@robbiepittman278]

Thank you SO MUCH for this post!

[@livingmy2ndchance]

This video was just perfect timing for me. Went to Joann's today with my mom and picked up some fabric for tops. Definitely going to pick something from your list. Thanks for sharing!!

[@albertaoconnor3346]

Thanks for sharing. I will have to try some of these patterns.

[@brendashoemaker1719]

I ordered some from your Amazon store. Can't wait to get them. Thank you.

[@ramonaduncan2151]

We have bumps! :-D You're such a sweetheart, I really enjoy your videos.

[@barbarawarner4645]

Cashmerette always wins for me. Fit is fantastic and they do tissue patterns for a bit more. Thanks for the review.

[@heidefries1825]

This is a great overview! It's so helpful to know what you look for, things to consider and to not lose site of woven fabrics (so much focus on knits). I've been happily distracted with incredible weather and getting caught-up on yard work. It'll be HOT soon enough and I'll retreat to the air conditioning and get back to my sewing projects. As always, thanks ... and enjoy the summer! 💕

[@lindathompson5420]

As always, great information! I think the Webster is my favorite.

[@k3of5ks]

Thanks Kim. I really want to try Cadence someday. 💗

[@mrs.knecro7044]

Very helpful! I was just looking for some woven top patterns when I found your knit one. But this is just what I was looking for!

[@texasproud8822]

I love the Webster on you.

[@kfaz3979]

Hi Kim!! Just discovered your channel and subscribed! Love how you present with suggestions and all the pros and cons, as well as your sweet personality! Extremely helpful! Now off to binge watch your channel!

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

Thank you so much! ❤️. Be sure to join our Facebook group to connect with some truly awesome sewing friends :-)

[@vickiwalsh5099]

Thanks Kim for this great video. I have to agree about not liking my bra showing. It’s called underwear for a reason. I’m also a fan of facings rather than bias binding. I feel it gives the garment a bit more stability. I think I’m going to watch the whole video again. Love from Australia. 🦘🐨✂️

[@heartslessons6243]

Just came across you video. Yes I just subscribed. I am a full figure woman and want to learn more about sewing. It just can't get the fabric right on for the pattern. When I go to buy fabric by the yard. I look on the table but it doesn't always say what it is. But I like the feel of it and the color or print.

[@SimplyDelilah]

i love that webster on you! and I love the one before that with the seam down the middle...oh I also love the Cadence because you talk about the burrito method...I also would rather have a facing vs a bias binding. thanks for putting this together, i need tank tops

[@krisl.4962]

Thanks for this list, Kim! I’ve only made the Sorbetto, and now that you’ve explained about their curvy patterns, I’ll go back and try it again - thanks! I’m with you on the bias binding, so often just make my own facings. I really like your “traded” fabric. There’s a neckline in the Cadence pattern that I really like, so will give that a second look!

[@michaleesloan6777]

I’m with you on bra friendly summer tops. You can always make your own facings Kim, you know how. Off to find some fabric for the harmony👍

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

You are so right. I definitely make facings all the time. When I review, I have to think in terms of a new sewist and keep it real for them. Definitely share your makes when you make that Harmony! I love knowing I can just grab a remnant for that one!

[@nancyheneghan4760]

I’m with you on not liking bias binding.

[@nannybannany]

Hi Kim, can you do a video like this but for all woven patterns? Even better if for beginners! I have been sewing for a little over one year and have made bags or aprons with cotton. I have no experience with knits and so I think woven would make me more comfortable in trying a garment. Thank you!

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

I will add it to the list of requests! Thank you! Please feel free to join the Facebook group - Dorothy’s Daughter Community and reach out to me if you have questions. There are a lot of very helpful people on there. If you want me to see it and respond, tag me in your question

[@patriciastroud4507]

We have the same taste in fabric, of your amazon selections, I have 4 of them.

[@anessaharris9947]

😀

[@kiesha7939]

Thanks for the video❤....also there is the portia woven top from stylarc patterns which is good to

[@TheOnlyJennySutton]

Have you tried the Helens Closet Ashton top? Facing, sleeve options add on, faced hem, darts!

[@PRHomeScents]

I don't like bias binding either. Too tedious. I like the stability of the facing. Tends to look better, I think.

[@ToriLynnH]

Sorbeto. If I do a tiny facing and double top stitch, i don't have to make bias binding. Bias binding is bulky and cumbersome.

[@dannebonaparte2213]

Very helpful video, Kim! I'm partial to wovens for summer because of comfortable natural fibers. It's fun to see your fabric selections at the end, and I'm still drooling over that teal Art Gallery challis!

[@Sheri...]

What is an FBA you keep mentioning? I don't know that term. Enjoyed the video. Thanks!

[@sewzolamarie7527]

FBA = Full Bust Adjustment

[@lindas1407]

Thank you Kim for this great review! A question - I have the Webster pattern but haven’t made it yet because I’m a size or two smaller than the smallest size - have you made a video that you can direct me to for grading smaller? Again, thank you! 🙏🏼

[@Lpsb232]

Great video. I want to try the Cadence. I love your comments on the facing and can’t wait to try it. I have one question. Do you think it would be possible to do French side seams? Thanks again.

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

Absolutely!

[@stephaniepaterson6340]

Really helpful, thank you. I’ve been looking for a pattern/tutorial on building in a bra/support so I don’t have to worry about the straps showing but I can’t find one, anywhere! I’m wondering if you could help?

[@denisedorsey2889]

Great collection. The Sorbetto was my first ever make. Now I know why I had such fit issues- I’m a B cup and it’s drafted for a C. My sewing has improved over the past year so I may give it another go. I also prefer facings over bias binding. Is it possible to draft facings for a pattern that calls for bias binding? I imagine you could use the pattern as your template. Please let me know if I am not thinking about this correctly.

[@sherylvitosh7209]

Thanks! This video is what I needed to see! I have been trying to decide between the Cadence and the Harmony. The Cadence looks boxy and the neckline looks lower and sloppy on many people, but it looks really flattering on you. I too would rather do a facing. One question, did you raise the neckline on the white Cadence that you made?

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

Thank you!❤️. I didn’t lower the neckline at all.

[@flourishfaithfiber]

I love the Eucalypt! I'm unlike most...I have barely "bumps" and need an SBA. In fact, darts are not helpful at all. Do you have a tutorial on SBA or removing darts?

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

I don’t have one out there yet, but that is planned with the upcoming bodice fitting series

[@dale3404]

Could you draft facings to use instead of bias binding?

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

Absolutely! It’s very simple to do. When I evaluate patterns, though, I evaluate them as is ;-)

[@rosedowling3690]

Hello Kim I am a novice quilter and sew with mostly cotton.. i would love to make my own tank tops and really like the one you're wearing... I definitely do not like clingy...would any of these patterns work with 100% cotton? i have soo much fabric.. what type of thread do you use for rayon Thank You

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

Yes, you can use cotton for most of them. It’s nice and cool in the summer too. I use polyester thread all the time so that the thread doesn’t shrink

[@rosedowling3690]

@@dorothysdaughtersews Thank you soo much
