Thanks for the advice on fabric! I've been sewing for many decades, and I'm still learning. Really liked your explanation about the different fabrics!

@TomKatStitchery Месяц назад

Glad it was helpful!

@twiddleedee Месяц назад

The new top is great but I love those flutter sleeves on the top you are wearing, so flattering on you

@TomKatStitchery Месяц назад

Thank you! I wear this shirt a lot!

@kathygann7632 Месяц назад

Get some more blue fabric and make just the skirt. Viola, a two piece dress!

@TomKatStitchery Месяц назад

I could do that!

@frantilden4604 Месяц назад

Love your top ❤. I’m in Australia so I’m seeing a winter dress in merino wool using this pattern in my very near future.

@TomKatStitchery Месяц назад

That would be perfect!

@kathymiller8810 Месяц назад

Beautiful top! I’ve been wanted to make one like this for a while. Thank you for your wonderful detailed explanation of different fabrics and their drape.

@reneemorgan9320 Месяц назад

That color is stunning on you! Great elevated basic top! I am so excited about the sleeve add on for tempo too. P.S. Love your new intro!

@TomKatStitchery Месяц назад

Thanks so much!!

@laulutar Месяц назад

I'm tempted to try this in a linen knit, which is lovely and has really nice drape.

@TomKatStitchery Месяц назад

Go for it!

@heidefries1825 Месяц назад

Been looking forward to this style neckline for a while and great to have info on the fabric to use! BTW, great choice for the new introduction to your videos.

@TomKatStitchery Месяц назад

Thank you so much!

Lovely result on that top. I've never been able to wear a cowl neck successfully. I'm short between the high bust and neck so no matter what I do it becomes far too revealing, looks like a horse collar gone wrong, or a run-down turtle neck if shortened. A cowl neck is just never a win but they are nice to admire. I really liked the pattern preview of the dress with sleeves. I like that pattern but always need that bit of sleeve to avoid the chill from AC in big buildings. Thanks for the heads-up on the sleeve addition.

@TomKatStitchery 15 дней назад

Agreed! What works outside in the summer doesn't always make sense in an office building. Thank goodness for layers!

@soufpawed Месяц назад

i have been searching for a pattern like this forever!! finally got the sinclair macy this winter and I made it (but probably in a not-drapey enough fabric) and it is just okay. i am super pumped about this lower drape option, double back and front drapes, and a dress! i might just also try a chorus/sunday romper mashup why NOT

@TomKatStitchery Месяц назад

Yes! I would love to see how that turns out!

@morlinapinney8925 Месяц назад

This top looks so good - that color is lovely on you. Thank you for talking about fabric selection! That’s definitely a challenge for me. Do you feel any itchiness with the wool fabric? I’m so impressed that you use it for activewear. I’ve been cautious because I figured it would be scratchy when you start to sweat.

@TomKatStitchery 27 дней назад

It's not itchy at all! And because it is a natural fiber, it breathes really well.

@cindywinkler4172 Месяц назад

I miss your old music

Chorus looks much like Simplicity 9745 from 2001.

@TomKatStitchery Месяц назад

It sure does!

@Lighthouse1852 Месяц назад

It was very helpful to see this piece made up, thank you! I came away realizing I should size up. The cowl neckline would work better on me if there's positive ease (vs negative) in the bodice. This winter I eyed a similar one-shoulder dress which could be hacked from the version in this Chorus pattern that had a cowl both in front and back. The Dissh "Cass" asymmetrical midi linen dress. It's woven, cut on the bias, but I could see translating it into a viscose jersey if the front waistband had support, like an internal stay tape or gentle gathers and an elastic channel as on the pattern.

@TomKatStitchery Месяц назад

I think that would work!!

@janetmalwitz7491 28 дней назад

Love the wool knit - awesome color. Would it be itchy like wool tends to be?

@TomKatStitchery 27 дней назад

It's such a beautiful color. It's not itchy at all !

@ellenclark4702 15 дней назад

I purchased the Chorus and am looking forward to making after watching your video. Love the color on you. I also love the gold top you are wearing. The sleeves fall perfectly. Please share what patter it is. Thank you.

@TomKatStitchery 15 дней назад

I'm wearing the Style Arc Posie Knit top in this video. It's a lovely pattern! I have a sew the look video on it if you're interested. If you search TomKat Stitchery Posie on RU-vid it should bring it up!

Hi Whitney, that is such a beautiful top and it looks amazing on you. I love that colour too. Please can you help me with something that bothers me about Love Notions patterns, but doesn't seem to affect you? When they offer a sleeveless option, it is literally the same pattern piece minus the sleeves when I tried that, the armholes and shoulders were both too big. Now, I reluctantly don't do any of their sleeveless options as I assume I'll have to toile and do pattern adjustments. Am I missing something?

@TomKatStitchery Месяц назад

That would be a great question to reach out directly to Love Notions about. I know they would really appreciate the feedback!

@cindyloman448 Месяц назад

Great top- and I love the color on you! However, after your interview with the stylist, I have been expecting you to talk about how you are modifying your style, Haven't heard you mention lately how she influenced you. I know you want to add more skirts to your wardrobe, but I think you had decided that before meeting with her, Is being an ambassador a constraint to being the individual you want to be?

@TomKatStitchery Месяц назад

Not at all--so many patterns have several views I can find many ways to express myself!

@anneinstx1969 Месяц назад

How do you handle washing and drying the wool spandex, and the wool nylon blend.?

@TomKatStitchery 29 дней назад

I washed and dried the yardage when I first got it (just in case someone else does the laundry and dries the final garment), but now that it's made up, I wash it on a gentle cycle and let it air dry.

@KTquiltsandsews Месяц назад

Hi Whitney...always appreciate you teaching us. A little worried about wool being itchy. As a child (many decades ago) I thought I was allergic. Never comfortable with a wool blanket. Wondering if I should still stay away from it or maybe if things have changed. xx Karen

@TomKatStitchery Месяц назад

Yes! Things have changed! This is not your childhood wool sweater!

@KTquiltsandsews 29 дней назад

@@TomKatStitchery thanks so much. Maybe I should risk it then and get 1.5 meters to start for a tank top of wool merino and see how it goes.

@claudiacampbell4375 Месяц назад

Question Hello Whitney, could I make the Chorus dress without the elasticized waist? Thank you in advance for your help.

@TomKatStitchery 29 дней назад

You totally could do that!

@zazmau 29 дней назад

I love the neckline, what I am not too sure of is the fitted bodice. I don't wear knit tops that cup around and under my boobs.If I did a FBA of a couple inches or so and add a dart would that add enough fabric to hang loosely from my apex ? I have a 7 inch difference between my upper (38)and full (45)bust.

@TomKatStitchery 27 дней назад

I think an additional FBA on the full bust piece (what I used) would give you enough room for it to hang looser. The full bust adjustment will give you added width in the waist as well as the bust which would keep the fabric from cupping under the boobs as well.
