It would be great to see a tutorial for each of these styles.

[@ChadBarnier]

I need Norris to do every video ever

[@briantodd362]

Agreed. I watch his videos and don't even look at the printed instructions unless I really have a hard question.

[@YeeHawHannah]

Very helpful! Thank you! I just bought the pattern, but I am a visual learner.

[@christineblair4078]

I'd like to see it all finished.

[@sonyasew2]

I wish I could have seen the snaps put in. I’m getting this for my son. Cool🧚🏿‍♀️

[@DanielGrimes]

This absolutely saved me, thank you! 🙏🙏🌟

[@hpeterson10579]

I’m “sew” glad I’ve run across a couple of your videos! Preparing to sew a blazer you did. that was fire!

[@maureencullen1008]

Been waiting for this one. Thank u!

[@sirenagems4097]

Very nice sew along.. Did you serge the neck band to the neck line and from the sleeves down to the sides or is it sewn? I just bought the pattern and want to make it comes out as great as yours :)

[@angelapresberry5441]

Great job!

[@melanieedwardscarter2393]

This shirts are Great. you did an Aamzing job

[@Lisaj4431]

My man looks fine in the Henley I made for him, he gets complimented, because I know how to throw some fabric down to create one-of-a-kind garments that put off the rack garments to shame.

[@RonGuyton]

How many pieces of patter 5??? You skipped that one

[@cutiedoggy475]

I wish you had told us about the fabric you’re using

[@Ventus-bt6xs]

I think that's up to your discretion; if you look at the back of the pattern (above the body measurements) there is a fabrics section. You can then discern what types of stretch material you would like to use.

[@juneskeete4975]

Hello, I'm new to sewing, I have a cotton fabric with no stretch can I use it?

[@briebauer341]

The pattern packet on the back will tell you what fabrics you can use. You’ll see that it says “sized for stretch knit only”. If you tried to use a cotton with no stretch, not only would the neckline/collar probably give you trouble (getting it over your head once your done as your sizing would be off). For example, the collar is meant to be stretched as its sewn so the size of the collar pattern piece you’d cut out wouldn’t be correct. It would likely be very difficult for someone with a little sewing experience to adjust the sizing of the pattern pieces to make it work with cotton. Look for a 2 way stretch knit fabric to make this work. Make sure you’ve learned how to sew stretch fabrics to prevent puckering and ideally a blunt vs sharp needle. This will save you a lot of frustration.

@@briebauer341 thank you for your knowledge. I appreciate you 🤗

[@sophtware]

You forgot to show the finished product at the end of the video!

Como puedo comprar los patrones. Vivo en chihuahua

[@dmoore612]

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF YOU SHOWN EVERYTHING YOU DID.

[@_fabian_renteria_]

The rings are very distracting…

[@sexxyrhed]

I have a couple of questions. Trying to learn from your video but some things are unclear or it’s just me being new to sewing. I am trying “c” and the template says 3/8” seam allowance but my collar is too short. In your video your seams are 5/8” and collar 3/8”. Is that the deal for template “c” as well? And you transferred your marks, where were they? These little triangles on the template, was I supposed to use them?

[@skippingbreakfastattiffany5428]

My pattern shows 3/8 Seam allowance but you did 5/8 in the video. And my collar seems too small.
