Whitney, you're so correct when you talk about fabric. If you aren't familiar with garment fabrics it can ruin someone's hard work and time if the wrong fabric is used.
I completely agree about Itch to Stitch patterns. They are incredibly well-drafted. I started calling them “Traveling Pants” patterns, because they seem to fit every member of my sewing group, with all of our different body types. As soon as I discovered that nearly all of her patterns had bust cup options, I started buying them, and I have never been disappointed.
Great Shirt, Whitney. It wouldn't be too hard to match the check across the pleats if you adjust the depth of the pleat to match a multiple of the width of the check.
I was just talking to myself( Don't tell anybody I was talking to myself😅😅😅), I want an easy camp shirt to make with no gathering on the back yoke, and here you are showing this beautiful Nozara shirt. I saw the picture with you, Tiffany, and two other RU-vidrs on Tiffany's channel. You guys looked beautiful and I heard you did an Excellent Job at the conference.😊
I love your version of the Nosara shirt by Itch to Stitch! Mine is in my recent batch cut of 5 garments in a rayon challis which is my fabric of choice this summer. Looking forward to getting it sewn up this afternoon! Thanks Whitney for sharing your review and showing us how you solved a common issue of not quite enough fabric!
Back on the video where you asked for suggestions on subects for future videos, I had asked for you to give help on the best fabric choices for different projects since I have never had luck wearing anything but natural fabrics due to super dry skin. Thank you!! You have been really helpful talking about all of the different choices and with your explanations I am starting to give some of the newer man-made fabrics a try. Some of them are working for me too! Thank you again! Angie
@@carolynpainter5127 Hi Carolyn: I sent it out to a print shop. I use either pdf plotting or Stitch and Sew in Alexandria, VA. Makes the pattern more expensive but I don't have the patience to cut and paste.
Thanks for the quick response. But our internet here in southwest Virginia takes forever to download a pattern and sometimes don’t get it all so I have given up on the PDF patterns. Printing is not the problem but the download. We keep hoping it gets better but it hasn’t so far. Thanks for your help.
I do really like the pattern. I’m planning to make one for my daughter, hoping she can get over the fact it’s a button up. Yours looks like it might have needed a sway back adjustment, but I like the gingham. 😊
Thank you for sharing the Nosara Shirt. I have never tried Itch to Stitch patterns, but think I might have to now that I have seen this pattern made up.
Great shirt! I bought the pattern on Friday and it is next up on my cutting table. I need a round back adjustment-would that be done on the yoke? Thanks so much.
Hi Tom Kat Stitchery......great shirt I'll like to buy this pattern....I've noticed that it goes up to hip 48 ...is that rhe finished garment measurement?
Other than the bust darts, this is pretty much the same as the LN Melody Dolman. When you try both of these shirts on, does the bust darting on the Nosara help to eliminate some of the excess fabric in the armpit caused by the grown-on sleeves?
You are correct that they are pretty similar. To answer your question, yes, I think the bust dart does help with excess fabric at the armpit. It doesn't totally eliminate it (that's the nature of a grown on sleeve), but it definitely reduces it.
Hi Whitney, I'm interested in doing a camp collar on a button up shirt. I'm thinking of putting it on a Cashmerete Vernon shirt. Do you know of a pattern that has a good camo collar?
I just made the Style Arc Max Tunic and it has a nice camp collar. You will want to make sure the collar fits the neckline you are putting it into. The Max is nice because it's a camp collar going into a shirt front with a placket, where a lot of camp collar patterns use facings on the front.
I was looking at the measurements today and there looks to be a large amount of ease. Did you adjust your sizing? According to the pattern I would wear a 12D but that would give me 9 inches of ease! Do you think I’m looking at it wrong?
Hi Whitney great video. I hope you can help me. I am sewing up a vest that doesn't have a fba, I am a C cup, the pattern is a big 4.. I sewed up the test garments and the sleeve has a gap right at the bust? Should I have done a fba or is something else the problem? I looked on your channel and didn't see anything about the gaping armhole in sleeveless tops. My only thought is I need that extra 1 inch in the bust. Thanks.
such a cute top...just downloaded the pattern...FYI: your coupon code did not work??? But still got it:)...what size bias tape did you make for the hem????
Oh good! I don't have a coupon code for Itch to Stitch (just an affiliate link), however, it is on sale at the moment so you should have gotten that deal! My bias tape is 1/2" single fold!
