Hi everyone, what are you planning to make this fall? Let me know below!😊🍁🍂🍃

@user-hu5ef2qp8l 11 месяцев назад

I have been sewing for 50+ years , what I am making this fall are a pair of camel wool dress pants and a loose plaid wool blazer

@user-hu5ef2qp8l 11 месяцев назад

Love the look of the Nova jacket

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

@@user-hu5ef2qp8l That is amazing that you have been sewing for 50+ years, you must be so skilled! And dress pants and a blazer sounds amazing! Goodluck with your fall sewing! 😊

@patriciadoherty464 11 месяцев назад

I would go with the Nova coat. The other coat is blah.

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for your input!

@rhondaa18 10 месяцев назад

I agree - Nova coat. I think the modern silhouette would pair better with your fabric. I think the Simplicity pattern with the fabric would lose the modernity.

@bzzzbzzz89 9 месяцев назад

I would make the Simplicity pattern but with the length of the Nova coat. I think the collar just makes it more put together 🤗 Love all your projects and colour combos! 😍

@MadeByMelm 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching and commenting! Stay tuned to see what I ended up doing with the coat...coming very soon in a new video 😊

@jennifermaddock4382 10 месяцев назад

I like the collar on the Simplicity pattern.

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

Same here, the collar is what drew me to the pattern! Thanks for watching! 😊

@michellerobinson2434 11 месяцев назад

Nova coat! The large flowers suit the boxy design as they will not be as “broken up” by collar and set in sleeves.

@MadeByMelm 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching and for your input! 😊

@SeamsterStudio2009 11 месяцев назад

I think the Simplicity coat pattern would work well with the floral fabric. I really like the idea of the sleeveless waist coat with the green plaid. I can't wait to see the chartreuse trousers. That's a perfect pattern for that fabric. Perfect pattern choice for the brown fabric. As far as the floral cotton poplin, I feel the first pattern and the vintage pattern would work best for those fabrics. Happy Stitching!

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for your comment! I'm so excited to share all these projects soon 😊

@kerrymcilwaine 9 месяцев назад

I watched your Ilford jacket vlog before watching this one. If you have plenty of the upholstery fabric left you could make an a line mini skirt to match your jacket for a very 1960s look suit x

@MadeByMelm 9 месяцев назад

Omg, that is such a good idea! You are right, I have absolutely tons of fabric left! I was thinking of making another jacket but really who needs two floral jackets 🤣 your idea is great! 😊

@loribarton7480 10 месяцев назад

I think the coat would be great in the Simplicity pattern. I just started apparel sewing again. I bought 10 patterns, 5 shirts and 5 dresses. I plan to sew at least a crisp white blouse and a dress. I’m glad I just found your channel.

@MadeByMelm 9 месяцев назад

Ooh have fun in your sewing endeavours! Thanks for watching and commenting! 😊

@alig8530 10 месяцев назад

For your last two fabrics do consider a jacket. Either would make a really fun jacket.

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

Oh good suggestion! They would certainly make a nice lightweight jacket. Thanks for watching!

Nova coat!!! I love oversized floral coat

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

@annesmith6306 10 месяцев назад

To show off the beautiful floral fabric go with the Nova coat pattern .The florals may get lost on the other pattern.

@MadeByMelm 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for commenting! I just finished the coat and the video is coming soon. The pattern I chose may be a surprise 😊

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

@kgflcreations 11 месяцев назад

My vote is for the Nova Coat, and for the green check fabric, a Shacket could be nice too 😊😊. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful Fabric 👏👏👏👏

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

After I posted this video, I started thinking more about shackets! Such a good idea! Thanks for watching! 😊

@Lighthouse1852 11 месяцев назад

Only since you asked: Either of those coat patterns would work nicely for the floral brocade. It'll be fab. I prefer the Nova although I might round off the collar tips, I'm not sure the square points would lay nicely. The waistcoat. Have you seen some of the long vests that Trinny uses? She's the layering queen. Years ago when she was strictly about clothing styling she wore some long gilets with tall slits up the side seams. The slits made all the difference because they broke up the tall rectangular block shape, were less restrictive for walking, and introduced interesting peeks at the bottom layers. She often showed a long vest under a harmoniously colored long coat. The effect was a cool set of vertical columns: the blouse/turtleneck, the vest, and the coat. Beautiful, modern, and easy to switch up. Poplin. Have you been following Sewing and the City, Christine Lindebek? She creates chic modern dress patterns which look clean in solid fabric and completely different in her cool vintage fabrics. You might really enjoy her work. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aPonuQwFtT4.html

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

Wow, thank you so much for such a helpful comment! I definitely agree about the slits in the waistcoat, although I'll have to see if I'm brave enough to alter the pattern! And I have to check out the channel you recommended. Thanks so much! 😊

@Lighthouse1852 10 месяцев назад

Trinny www.youtube.com/@TrinnyLondon/videos was one of the co-hosts of the original British show What Not To Wear which was copied here in the US later. 6-7 years ago she started a clothing stylist and skincare channel on RU-vid. Her advice is size, color, age and income inclusive, although leans toward middle age. After a while she started up her own beauty product line, which unfortunately takes time away from the clothes styling content but I get it. You'll see she's is a big booster of women undergoing life changes, and female entrepreneurs in particular. On gilets and coats, I'll bet you could find examples using her channel search button. "Layering"? maybe. She often talks about the ideal placement of a coat waist button, shoulder shape, back shapes, hem, how to choose - which is terrific for any sewist to know since we can alter our patterns! Closet Confessions are my favorite type of episod. Also fascinating discussions about colors. Hope you find something thought provoking there. @@MadeByMelm

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! And that is a really good point about poly lining in winter coats - plus often the insulation is poly anyways! However I do often feel uncomfortable in poly pants, but hopefully this pair will be okay since they are so oversized! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 😊

@philippalincoln2262 10 месяцев назад

New to your channel (just subscribed!) and adore your plans, especially the coat. With such a striking fabric, I think you could make either coat but the Simplicity one might interrupt the pattern less x

@MadeByMelm 9 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for watching and commenting ! I just finished up the coat and it will be the next video up on my channel 😊

@MadeByMelm 11 месяцев назад

I agree, and living in a colder climate, I like to have options to change up my outfits! Thanks for commenting! 😊

@KnitzyKitzy 10 месяцев назад

I like the simplicity coat more as it has longevity due to it’s classic silhouette, nova would become dated faster.

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

Ooh good point, thanks for your insight!

@loreliemiller628 11 месяцев назад

Can’t wait see all your makes but especially your coats/vests! I’ve just got into making sweater vests and would love to make a coat. Love to see a fellow Canadian sewist!

@bohemiansusan2897 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing and I hope that you have the time of your life sewing this fall. I plan on some black cargo pants made from a stretch cotton blend twill. I found beige with black and red stripes knit fabric and will make a boatneck top with 3/4 sleeves. Most of my newer stuff, I bought because I've been very sick for almost two years. Some from thrift and some from Walmart and Amazon. Once I get up and moving around then my weight will even out and more importantly I will be back in shape. I bought a black wool blend skirt and two wool blend vests. I plan on making an Edwardian wingtip collar shirt in beige to wear with my usual clothes. I blend period and modern clothing and enjoy myself.

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for commenting! I'm sorry to hear about the illness you have been dealing with. But it sounds like you have some fun projects lined up for fall! I hope you enjoy your upcoming sewing projects 😊

@bohemiansusan2897 10 месяцев назад

@@MadeByMelm I'm on the mend and am starting to walk again. It will be another two years until I can work again but I'm getting there. In the past two years, I had five very close calls with death. The doctors cannot explain how I got through it and then go on the mend, as folks with only 10% of my illnesses die. So I'm lucky. I miss in person interaction but online is doing OK. In a town of 40,000, I'm the only one who sews clothes consistently.

@theresatumidajski5219 10 месяцев назад

Hi fellow Canadian! 😊🍁 There is a new Fabricland at Bloor/Yonge, you can get off right at the Bloor-Yonge Subway station, it is very convenient! The prices are high but I noticed they have good sales. Happy fabric shopping!

Go with the Simplicity coat. The rounded lapels will marry well with the rounded floral print

Very good point!

Hi! I’ve got a few of the Nova Coat sewn up. I’d just say if go ahead make the pockets deeper, my keys and phone keep falling out! It’s a great pattern and I absolutely love making it!. In fact I’m going to make a dressy white one for Christmas!! Looking forward to seeing what you make. 😎

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for the advice! Ooh I am very curious about that project, I can see it being really wearable for the Christmas season! Have fun with it!

@erikao3982 11 месяцев назад

I made the simplicity 8797 coat, and it was huuuuuuge on me. I love wearing oversized clothes but this was just way too much. I made the size based on my measurements. Next time I will size down two sizes I think I’ve also made mc call’s 8420, and I love the sweater, but next time I’ll adjust the pattern slightly so that there aren’t exposed seams on the inside of the placket I love all of your ideas! I’m subscribing to you now!

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

Oh thanks so much for your insight on those patterns! I always appreciate fit info before I cut into a pattern! Thanks for subscribing 😊

@15bloemetje15 10 месяцев назад

So cool you have vintage butterick pictures on your wall. Where did you get those?

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! They are vintage Butterick magazine covers from the 1930s/1940s. I spent some time on the internet looking for pictures of vintage sewing magazines or patterns I liked, I digitally enhanced them, and then got them printed large-scale at my local photo shop! It wasn't too hard and I love how they turned out!

@theresawagner2642 10 месяцев назад

Just watched your Fall plans. Anxious to see your lovely fabrics sewn up. I do have a quick question: I am looking for a cropped button shirt pattern, exactly like the blouse you have on in the video. May I ask if you made this, and if so, what pattern this is? Thanks so much. 🥰

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for your comment! I didn't make the shirt I'm wearing (thrifted it recently), but similar patterns that come to mind are the Helen's closet Cameron button up OR Helen's closet Dawson top (this has a double-notched collar though), or the Fabrics-Store Noa shirt pattern (free! - you'd have to shorten the sleeves though). I haven't tried any of these yet so I can't personally recommend, but I've heard the Helen's closet patterns are well-drafted with good instructions! My shirt is made out of a silk, so you could probably get a similar effect with silk, rayon, viscose, etc 😊

@MsChaosbutterfly 11 месяцев назад

The Simplicity coat appears to have a seem down the front, which could disrupt the orange flower pattern. It's a rad fabric.

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

Oh good point, it is such a large scale pattern a seam could really disrupt it. Thanks for the advice! 😊

@theresatumidajski5219 10 месяцев назад

R there regular fabric swaps regularly in TO downtown?

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

To my knowledge this was a one-time swap, it was organized by @_abbymakes on instagram! So I would suggest to follow her as they were talking about planning another one soon.

@alig8530 10 месяцев назад

How do you work with the rib knit? I have tried working with rib knit and every time the garment « grows » on me and ends up being too large (even on tried and true patterns that fit me when made in a more stable knit).

@MadeByMelm 10 месяцев назад

Good question - I am still figuring this out as well. This time around, I ironed the fabric first (on low) to sort of pre-stretch it a bit before cutting out my pieces. I am also sewing a smaller size keeping in mind the stretch. I am planning to pay around with stabilizing my seams with a knit interfacing as well, to help avoid them stretching out. I will let you know in a future video if that works out!
