Did you ever think of creating a calendar chart of when your favorite online fabric stores have their sales? So if I knew that every year StyleMaker has, say, a big Labor Day sale I could save up for it and, also, plan what I need to buy.

@harlemhottie1377 2 года назад

Great idea! FabricMart just surprised me with 60% off *sitewide* for Labor Day. Sadly, I was in no way prepared and I couldn't just, say, buy ALL the wool I thought was pretty. 😥

@Queenread82 2 года назад

“Pattern Hack Sunday” sound like a GREAT plan for the rest of 2022. Especially with going into Black Friday (knowing what patterns to buy) and then the expensive Christmas season.

Firstly, yes hacks please. Love them. My brain really likes hacking stuff, more than the sewing. Second, I want to second the request for a “calendar” list of when the good fabric retailers usually schedule their big sales. Thirdly, that top looks great on you and your autumnal faux suede skirt with that cream sweater is stupendous.

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

That's a fun idea! I'll have to start paying close attention to when those sales happen!

@kathygann7632 2 года назад

I can hardly wait to get back to sewing. I’m almost done rebuilding my large upstairs and downstairs decks using 2x6 20 footers. Fabric is SO much easier to handle than heavy 20 foot boards! And cutting an inch off a 6 inch piece of fabric is much easier than cutting an inch off a 2x6 board. So sick of wood!

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

😂 Good for you, though! I completely agree about other hobbies. I have been working on making shoes with my son and while it's been a fun experience, I was SO ready to be back to garment sewing!

An eating plan is a great plan. Eating well and as healthily as possible will also help the stress levels as you endure all the stuff going on. Handy to make healthy muesli bars and things like that when you are on the road travelling so much too. Remember the water and get sleep! Surprising how these two things have an effect on the body and it's fluctuations. I do hope your mum is going well with her treatment. It can't be easy for you being a fair trek away. But an eating plan will help you to be on top of something as it is often the first thing that flies out the window when the stress climbs. All such great ideas for your wardrobe. I'm writing a list as I'm listening but of course for Spring/summer - I'm hoping to spend time out of the house working so am planning some nice workwear.

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

You are so right! I think the eating plan has given me some control (where there seems to be little right now!) as well as keeping me as healthy as possible. I had a Dr. appointment this week and he was very impressed with my numbers so I think it's working!

You are looking particularly gorgeous today in spite of being so stressed out. Your plans sound really exciting. Looking forward to the hacks videos, I am not good at that and hope to train my eye to see the possibilities. Just a note on the wide leg pants- be very careful! My sister caught her foot in the pant cuff of a gorgeous pair of pants and took a terrible fall down a flight of stairs. She will recover but was badly injured. Bruise is not in her color pallette.

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

This is a great warning! My sister took a similar fall from catching the heel of her pump in the hem of her pants.

@lynnshepard7485 2 года назад

Whitney, could you please resend the file for the business card size lists of yardages of favorite patterns to your email subscribers? I lost the file you sent in the spring, and I enjoy that resource! Thanks! Your Andrienne is beautiful. The fall color you’re using for your Resolution joggers blew me away. 😊 When you held the fabric up to your face…oh my, you glowed! 🤩 Yes, please to the sew the look videos, and more Jenny, too. 😂 So much joy!

I just purchased a huge vintage white linen tablecloth at a thrift store. I’m thinking of your top for it plus who knows what else. I made a Cielo out of my mom’s linen tablecloth and it’s absolutely my go to top! Fabric is so gorgeous and passes the test of time! Had to edit my comments after you talked about sewing as creative and therapeutic. It’s definitely all of that for me. I have no regrets for sewing beautiful garments that I love.

The sleeves on your top look so cute! I'm glad you mentioned sewing being a creative art. I feel like sometimes I feel guilty making something just because I do use my hobbies as sort of a therapy. It just helps calm my mind. I am glad you are focusing on a eating plan to keep you feeling better doing a crazy time of life. I know that when stress and travel and other things take over, my health conditions flare and I'm really sick. It seems to take a lot to get over the hump and I feel like I can't do the things I want for others. Prayers for you and your family. Thanks for sharing your plans!

@lavadaroufs 2 года назад

I love hacking! I rarely buy a pattern because patterns I have can be altered/hacked. The world is open to all the possibilities - Ex: make a shirt pattern into a shawl collar or bound edges instead of facings. Same with a jacket. You can extend bodice and add straight sleeves (like a kimono) to any top. Looking forward to your presentations. May you and all your family know that we are praying and supporting you in your time of need.

@nonsequitur5057 2 года назад

I usually watch your channel on my TV so I can't comment, I write notes and it takes an extra effort to remember to write something, so I don't! Sorry. I am able to hit "Like" via my TV and try to remember to do that! At any rate, (here are my votes on) FABRICS and what to make: I would use the "Soft Shell Fabric" to make a Barn Coat; using a corduroy or cotton velveteen for the accents (upper collar, flaps or bands . . .). For the "Loud Wool Plaid" I'd make you a Norfolk or Field styled jacket because it would be in line with your Classic style, be very Autumn-ish, and your accent pieces (including using the "Mustard" for a pair of pants or mid-length A-lined or 6-gore skirt (boots!), Itch2St Balboa Skirt, Resolution Joggers, etc.) would work with it. I can't send pictures but if you Google Image search those terms (Womens - Barn Coat, - Norfolk Jacket, - Field Jacket) I think you'll see what I mean. Lastly, I am with you regarding facings flapping around, so, in spite of having all kinds of ways to keep them under control I usually prefer to line bodices. But a few months ago I saw this RU-vid video on the "Ellie and Mac Patterns" site titled, "Review: What is Sticky Thread for?" featuring Nyeca. I've owned this thread forever, (I think used it once), but what Nyeca shows can be done with it and how you can pull off the regular thread leaving this invisibly holding whatever you want in place . . . I mean not only with facings but keeping pocket flaps and collar edges flat without having to top-stitch every thing! Well, give it a look/see; it would be fun to see what you'd do with it. I'm glad your Mom is surrounding by such good and loving people at this time. It really is the greatest help while going through it. In my prayers!

Hi Whitney, Yes to continuing pattern hacking. I’m currently on a mission to perfect the fit of a basic set of patterns, so I’ll be able to hack them into different versions. I’m just so tired of doing the same adjustments on every new pattern, and then having to make a muslin every time to be sure it fits properly. I want to be able to just grab a pattern and steam right in without a muslin, because I already know it fits. I’d rather spend time on creative tweaks to a pattern that already fits.

A wanderlust dress in that red would be SPECTACULAR!! And so very versatile. I am really enjoying the pattern hack videos, and would love to see a hack to turn a basic scoop neck into a soft drape/cowl neck. Especially for a tank like the Love Notions Harmony. I’m really excited for your planned videos on the channel this month. They are so timely. The mending and altering will be sooooooo helpful. And I absolutely love shopping at thrift shops and yard sales. - Sending good thoughts to you and your family.

I'm so glad you're excited about the videos! I'm thinking they may spill out into October as well 😂. I have too many ideas!

Further Pattern hacking would be great.

Oh great!

Yes to pattern hacks please, gosh your lookin great. I need to do colors should I highlight hair first?

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

Thank you! I would have the colors done first. There is an option for a hair color consult at The Color Guru. I think having my hair the right shade makes such a huge difference. It was getting too blonde and now that it's back to the warm brown, I feel so much more myself!

I really enjoy your videos. Lots of great tips and inspiration. Thank you! And I love that pointelle fabric! I'm thinking I might have to make myself a top with that. :) Could you tell me what makes you choose the Hepburn turtleneck over the LN Arlington turtleneck version?

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

To be honest, I have yet to make the basic Arlington. I have made the cropped version and the dress with the balloon sleeve option, but just haven't got around to making the basic one. The Hepburn was my go-to before that pattern came out, but now I'm wondering if I should make the Arlington so I can compare!

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

Great video Whitney! I really like the idea of Sunday pattern hacking videos through the end of the year.

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

Oh good! I thought that sounded fun!

@sewfit4you219 2 года назад

Thank you, Whitney, for encouraging us to be creative without it being functional. I have some these creations in my closet.😀

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

@coachcasey9823 2 года назад

I love the idea of more pattern hacking videos! I don’t do it enough and default to buying a new pattern instead, which is definitely not good for my pocketbook!

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

I totally get that!

@karolmolpus9536 2 года назад

Easy dressing really helps during stressful times.😇

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

I completely agree!

@dawnjeffersramstad8401 2 года назад

For my needed winter bright turtlenecks (Wisconsin knitter with a great sweater collection) I now buy enough fabric for both my TNT LN Arlington turtleneck + a LN classic tee or LN La Belladonna for fall/spring layering.

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

That's a great idea!

@christinafisher6244 2 года назад

Ohhh it sounds like their color palette may be close to what I love…

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

It's a gorgeous palette!

Whitney, this is a great video. I like the plans for Sunday hacking. I've been looking for a turtleneck or mock neck. It's difficult to find in the big 4 & Cashmerette. Any ideas? No PDF'S. I've got a Cognac/rust blazer (autumn colors for me) & looking for fabric is fun. I've got 5 Knit T-shirt Fabrics picked out, they're very similar... got to tweak it down. Love the top you're wearing. Fervent prayers for your mother and family during this difficult time.

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

I can't think of a pattern off the top of my head, but I can definitely do a hacking video turning any well fitting t-shirt pattern into a turtleneck or mock neck!
