I like mystery bundles. Sadly Girl Charlee went out of business and they had a lot of bundles. Fabric Mart bought up their stock, so I'm suspecting a lot of the bundles will be knits for a while. Yours isn't girl charlee though. I think a shirtwaist would look goo's w the flowers and a boxy shirt for your table cloth.
Thank you for watching! 💕 The last bundle I got happened to be all wovens and I was surprised by that. Typically they do give a lot of knits. Thank you for the suggestions!
The bundles are fun to watch. I probably won't ever get one though. It seems like they all have black and/or white. I look awful in both of those colors.
I love seeing the smile on your face! 🥰 The first black textured fabric would look great in a cardigan. Perfect for the Fall/Winter. I love both sheen knits. Color block a top. See McCall's M7782. You can make a jacket SS8843 or a shirtdress with the woven floral. Very pretty.
Thank you so much! I was thinking I would color block them. I like that McCalls pattern a lot. I was also thinking of making S9679. The floral would be a cute short dress for next spring. 💕
Yes I tried the bundles I had bought two of them and they both was all right this was my first time trying it out looking at your videos and I like to thank you for your videos
Happy birthday! Your dress is lovely! I made that pattern last year and I share similar frustrations. I like how mine came out but I wouldn’t make it again because of how cumbersome the placket and curves are. I thought I was gonna whip it up in no time but I was wrong. Tfs!
I have that pattern. Yes, you pressed the darts correctly, toward the center. Curved hems are tricky. Pressing helps. I think the dress looks great on you. Happy Birthday! 🎂🥳🎉
I have S9376, but have not been brave enough to try it! Yours look very nice! I have been sticking with trousers with elasticated waists because they are easier to fit. I need to just do it! I love your idea of using fat quarters for the inseam pockets! I just found your channel and subscribed! Take care! ~Nancy
I've had a double circle skirt cut out on the floor of my craft area for a week. It might be time to finally finish her. That ballerina top looks so cute. I hope it turns out well for you.
Fellow Arizonian here, awaiting the double digits, seems like that traditionally happens on Halloween? I made that dress several times for my daughter and was really happy with the results. Have you heard of the frocktails happening here in January?
@@Sewcially.Awkward FB has a group , Arizona Sewists, that are having their 3rd annual Frocktails in Scottsdale on Saturday, January 25th. The venue has not been announced, or the theme. I've never attended one before.
You are brave for focusing your sewing on pants. Focusing more on sewing pants was kind of my goal for this year, but I have been diverted to some other big house projects, and I haven’t sewn nearly as much. I hemmed a couple ready to wear pants and just made the Style Arc Bob pants. Keep up the good work! 😊
Thank you! 💕 I needed to start making things I could wear out of the house and I’m always working sooo… 😂 I’ve never tried style arc, I might look into that
Just discovered your channel and I’m excited to keep watching. I have the patterns you are talking about but have not made them and I’m really excited to see how they come out.
Great makes, I really enjoyed your thorough reviews. I have the simplicity pattern and haven't got round to making it up, your versions are great. I'm tempted by those Butterick patterns too 😊
I think hook and eye closures are hard to line up, no matter how hard you try. Love all the makes. I'm writing down most of the pattern numbers you showed. Love them.
All of your looks are great: motivating me to move along and sew as I have the same patterns. We seem to have similar height and size measurements and, just a suggestion. I always have a problem with the center back being a bit short, and you may also have the same problem as you pull the back up too. If you put a half inch hinge dart across the center back seam in the area of the curve of your bottom, it will give you the extra you need in that area without changing anything else and the sides will match. Of course you can add more or none. I need 3/4 inch. I am 6 ft and 22-24: sometimes the pattern modifications are so time consuming, I just go back to elastic waist.
Thank you for the tips! I will give that a try. Eventually I want to learn how to adjust for my curves. The Palmer Pletsch pattern had a lot of tips inside the steps and that kind of motivated me to do more research. I’m glad you were inspired! 💕
@@Sewcially.Awkward I found I was getting confused with adjusting for the crotch curve and crotch depth. I took a pair of jeans that I liked the fit of, and copied the crotch from inseam to waist, including the yoke, to give me the correct shape and length I needed for pants. I traced it onto cardboard, front also, and use that against all the patterns and adjust them to suit that. Much more predictable. I also came across an article, comparing the crotch curv of the different patterns, and the consensus was that if you have some booty, McCalls and Burda work for you. I think it was an old Threads article on Pinterest. She was taking apart an old Armani pant and wanted to see their crotch curve and internal construction. I've cut those patterns out but havent done anything with them yet.
Wow thank you so much! I do have a pair of jeans that fit me really well. So I will be tracing those! And that’s interesting about McCalls and Burda. I’ve never sewn a Burda pattern but have sewn plenty McCalls. One of my TNT patterns for easy elastic pants is a McCalls pattern and those fit me pretty good. I would have never put that together lol
First time on your channel. So proud of you. You did such professional looking jobs. I am trying to get motivated again by immersing myself in sewing videos.
Great roundup! I like them all! Good for you for trying several! I get nervous with pant making because my stomach sticks out pretty far 😩. Thanks for sharing!
