A new fitting series makes its appearance! Following the success of the "Let's sew easy pants" series from 2020, it's time to tackle the upper body! We will be fitting simple woven tops with a standard sleeve and a bust dart.
I will plan series as a weekly video. I will replicate common fitting issues to help you identify them. I will show easy corrections to apply to your pattern. We will cover the shoulders, back, bust and more!
Come join! I have 5 patterns to recommend here. They fit the criteria of having:
*Front on the fold
*Bust dart
*Simple set-in sleeve
*For woven fabric
*Can have a center back seam (optional)
*Good size range
This series is independent from the pattern brands mentioned. I produce this content independently.
Patterns in the order they were mentioned:
*Montrose top (Cashmerette Patterns) 12-32US
*Cadence top & dress (Love Notions) XS-5X. Video on my channel • A family that stripes ...

Thank you to everyone who is excited as I am to get this series going! These will be weekly videos and the next one will be about measuring ourselves... and not only our circumferences 😉. See you soon :)

@LovingHandsDesign 2 месяца назад

I have been watching your channel for almost a year now and I’m still discovering some of your content ❤. The ones I have viewed have helped me so, so much and I have definitely recommended your channel to others who have found your style of teaching perfect for them too. I’m excited about this series, I thought I watched it already, but I didn’t. Thank you so much for all your time in putting these videos together. You are much appreciated. ❤😊🙏🏽

I’m glad you are doing this Katrina. I’m an older, experienced sewer who has found sewing videos a joy during this pandemic. In my opinion, you are the best at fitting your own body out there. I’m excited that I have an opportunity to improve my fitting via your video classes. Thanks!

@sharonnickels2788 Год назад

I am just now watching this series on fitting a woven top. When I got to the closet core pattern and saw what you had made--I was so excited. I have that exact same fabric that I made a dress out of. I have lots of it left over and didn't know what to do with it. I love the way you made it. The fabric looks like a watermelon in places and goes from yellow and orange colors--which are my favorite to the blues at the bottom.

Fitting is always a challenge for me. As a 5'2" short torso gal I'm really looking forward to your series!

@susancheer5981 3 года назад

Maybe after this series wraps up, you'll have more ladies wanting to do their own block. I did mine from your video when you were in Bolivia. Need to tweak it again, but I think using it to come up with some cute little dress would be fun.

@LiftingPinsandNeedles 3 года назад

I have made a few videos showing how to transform a basic block and the views are so terribly low every single time. It’s repetitive and each video takes so much effort... Thats why I use patterns.

@tfrankum01 3 года назад

I’m so excited about this! I love the way you teach. Something you said in this video finally clicked with the cup sizes...that a bra is measure for cup size as to how much it has to ‘cup’. And a sewing pattern is how it falls over the bust. That made so much more sense than any other description I have ever heard.

@LiftingPinsandNeedles 3 года назад

If you’d like to hear more, I discussed it a lot more in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oCAxT6PSC3s.html

Oh thank you! I followed the pants and the binding videos. This is perfect timing for me as I'm moving towards wovens for summer approaching here. It's already warm in the desert, 80° and around daily already! I just bought a ton of linen, and a linen blend, 19 yards total. Washed twice and softer and ready to go. I will be using a light muslin though for the fitting process. 😊I am excited! Thank you so much!

My very 1st videos show a block and I’ve made a few videos where I’ve used it already. It’s content that gets very little views, so it’s not where my content is focused. Most want to work with patterns.

I'm excited to follow this series. I used to sew as a teenager but my body fit standard sizes from the big companies back then. Fast forward many years... I haven't done any real sewing and my body doesn't fit a standard size anymore. I really need help in figuring out how to adjust patterns to fit! I am sorry to hear that people don't seem interested in videos about block patterns and designs made from them. I think it would be so useful! You don't happen to have a playlist with any of those types of videos you made in the past do you? I would love to watch them all! Thanks for all the hard work you do. You are so (sew) inspiring!

@nadinewoods6971 3 года назад

I think this is an excellent idea for a series! I know a lot of people will benefit from your experience. I know your focus is going to be on fitting the bodice, but I'm hoping you'll also address sleeves as I am still learning how to fine tunes the fit of sleeves on different brands of patterns.

@LiftingPinsandNeedles 3 года назад

I will consider the sleeve when the armhole has been modified and will definitively include the bicep adjustment. One thing to consider is that unless its a two piece sleeve (that has a hidden elbow dart), sleeves will have a degree of twist no matter what.

@nadinewoods6971 3 года назад

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Thank you so much!!!! I rarely see anyone addressing sleeve fitting, but I have found it to be important, with my square forward thrusting shoulders. I think I’ve gotten my bodice fit so much better than it used to be, but I’ll be following along and using this Burda pattern that I have on hand: www.burdastyle.de/produkt/magazin-schnittmuster-inkl-step-by-step/bluse-mit-v-ausschnitt-02-2020-115_115-022020-DL (Sorry about not using the English site but it doesn’t contain a line drawing.) I’m sure I’ll learn a lot along the way. You really do spread your love of sewing!
