Thank you for being brave enough to wear the tankini in the video. I really like being able to see what things look like on a real body as opposed to a mannequin.

@TomKatStitchery День назад

You are so welcome!

I’m 74 and do water exercises and love it! I get good exercise without the possibility of falling or hurting myself. Also, I learned a few years ago from the Knees over Toes program that walking backwards, especially in the water stops my knee arthritis from hurting. It takes about 3 days to reverse the pain.

@Seams_in_the_Wild 2 дня назад

Thanks for those tips, Kathy!

@TomKatStitchery День назад

That is a great endorsement for more water fitness!

@sandyp2485 День назад

Oh, that is so good to know! I have been looking for some water exercises in the last few days for the same reasons. It's exciting to know what actually works!!

@kathygann7632 День назад

If you are over 65, Silver Sneakers will pay for more than one gym so you can do them 4-5 times per week. Different teachers have different methods so you can do more dancing on a couple days and more arm or leg exercises on other days.

@sandyp2485 День назад

@@kathygann7632 My insurance switched from Silver Sneakers to something else which name I forget. However, they did assure me that the new one had the same benefits so I will definitely look into that. Perhaps one of the gyms has a pool so I could do pool walking until it gets too cold to do that. I know if I exercise, I could look as good in the Clearwater Swim Suit. I would sure love to sew that for myself. Thanks again for more info. We are of similar age so it pays to chat with others in the same age range.

@rosielongdog7398 2 дня назад

Thank you for modelling this collection, so great to see it in motion - you look gorgeous! This might just inspire me to give swimwear a go! 😆

@TomKatStitchery День назад

Give it a try! You may surprise yourself!

@CSmith-tn8nv 2 дня назад

All those pieces are really cute. You looked great in your tankini. Seeing you in the dresses reminded me that you used to be a cheerleader- I can definitely see that. The chocolate brown shorts were perfect on you. Your plaid dress was stealing the spotlight a little bit in this video. It is darling. I love that pop of blue at the neck.

@TomKatStitchery День назад

I guess the cheerleader never really leaves you!

Cute swim motion when modeling, and the suit looks good. Loved your ‘be kind’ comment too…. You’re so bubbly today. Full of fun! Needed that to end my busy day…

@TomKatStitchery День назад

Thank you so much 🤗

@brendawyber6556 2 дня назад

Love this pattern, and I love you in the bathing suit. You are brave and you deserve a huge🎉🎉🎉🎉for doing it. If anyone is nit nice, ask them to post a picture of them in a bathing suit on social media. I would love to try it but my boobs used to be on the large size, but now they are travelling south, so i need lift and support. But we will see. Thanks for being brave❤️❤️

@TomKatStitchery День назад

Thank you for those sweet words!

@TomKatStitchery День назад

Thank you so much!

@debbiehaynes8295 2 дня назад

What a terrific ensemble!! I love the fabric of the last top and glad you turned it all the way inside out so we could see it in real life. You could wear navy shorts with that, too. And that brown dress is soooo cute!

@TomKatStitchery День назад

I'm glad it was helpful that I turned them inside out. I never know if people want to get that deep into details or not. Thank you for letting me know!

@victoriahannah1633 2 дня назад

I think all the pieces look great on you including the swimsuit. I did get a good laugh when you said be kind.

@TomKatStitchery День назад

❤️❤️❤️

@annsiegle 2 дня назад

Thank you for putting on that tankini on video - it's super helpful to see how it looks on a real body (and you and I have similar body shapes, so I know how cute this will be on!) This would be a great summer "adventure" dress. I like the idea of a full bust front - that would work for me too.

@TomKatStitchery День назад

Give it a try! I think you will like it!

@purllletteknit9103 14 часов назад

@TomKatStitchery День назад

I'm so glad to hear that!

@virginiajohnson4217 2 дня назад

That is such a versatile pattern!l This is really all the pattern I need for swim and athletic wear. I love your "marmalade" color tennis dress. It looks awesome on you and you certainly don't look naked. 🙂

@TomKatStitchery День назад

Thank you! I may have to play a little tennis too!

@normacooper6377 2 дня назад

If you make those bottoms out of the orange, you will be able to wear the bottoms with the stiped top also! You look great in all your makes! I've used Raspberry Creek and really liked their fabric and service. Walking the Lazy River sounds like a blast! I wonder if we have that here in Omaha at our fun park. Take care!

@TomKatStitchery День назад

A great endorsement for Raspberry Creek!

@teresastevens2084 2 дня назад

I’m sure I’ve said this before (like every time 😆) but here goes…Love Notions has hit it out of the park on this one! To say I’m over-the-moon for the Clearwater Summer Essentials collection is an understatement! I do aquacise classes for M.S. patients and the two pieces (tanking top with biker shorts bottom) are exactly what I need!!! Raspberry Creek is also a favorite of my sewing group and their swimwear knits are fantastic as are all their fabric substrates. I obviously don’t walk or play tennis 🦼, but, I’m heavily into flower gardening and I’m thinking the dress version - in a swimwear fabric - will be the perfect garment to get out there in the early morning and spend all day tending to my flowers! I often grab the garden hose just to spray myself off…what could be more perfect! By the way, you look amazing in all three variations modeled, Whitney! Good luck on that reverse lazy river walk! 🩱❤

@TomKatStitchery День назад

Wonderful! It would be perfect pattern for teaching because everything stays put if you need to assist your students in the pool!

@lynnm.johnson5755 5 часов назад

Re: gardening. When we get back to normal summer weather ( wet & cool here), the idea of wearing swimwear fabric & hosing off is a good one! I have a cooling long sleeved top, should make swim shorts to go with.

@lynnm.johnson5755 5 часов назад

Thanks for modeling! I ordered a swimsuit pattern, task was to cut it out today. Being longwaisted & full busted, shopping for suits is not fun! Thanks for the recommendation re: Raspberry Creek.

I really like a swim skirt, thinking of the Tinley Skirt (shortened a bit) with the Tankini top! I am so excited about this pattern!

@TomKatStitchery День назад

Oh that would be so cute!

@carolinedelisle589 2 дня назад

I just finished my first swimsuit on the weekend and started swimming daily in the local outdoor pool. I wipped up a rashguard to go with it yesterday afternoon. I am on a high of swimsuit sewing right now so this pattern will fit perfectly. I also just discovered Fabric + Flow, which is a great resource here in Canada (customs and shipping make US fabric so unaffordable for us here, even before factoring in the exchange rate). Thank you for the review.

@TomKatStitchery День назад

I'm so glad you "jumped in" to swimsuit sewing!! And a rash guard to keep your skin covered!

@annedawahare9243 2 дня назад

I love all the new Liberty and you are getting lovely wools. I don't knot with anything heavier than a 4.5mm needle. I knit mostly with a fingering 4ply weight 27 stitches to 10 cm up to a dk weight. 4mm needles 22 sts to 10cm. Hope to get some new liberty. Love Karen C

@TomKatStitchery День назад

Yes!

@annescanapico7168 23 часа назад

Your are brave, but then again you look great. I’m curious about the water exercises. I will have to look into that. All your outfits look fab

@TomKatStitchery 13 часов назад

Thank you so much!

@sandyp2485 День назад

Gorgeous outfits. I've not really tried making swimwear but this pattern looks like a great one to try. I have sewn with swim knit to make a pair of cycling pants that turned out okay; I just found the fabric a bit slithery to work with. Perhaps the newer fabric types will be easier to manage plus I've long since replaced that sewing machine so that may also make it an easier item to sew. PS You looked very nice in your swim suit. With some time put into exercise, perhaps I can look so adorable.

@TomKatStitchery 13 часов назад

Thank you! This would be a great first swimwear pattern to try! You're right that swim knit is a bit slippery, but I find that using the wonder clips works really great in keeping it tame while sewing!

@sandyp2485 9 часов назад

@@TomKatStitchery Great idea about the Wonder Clips. When I made those cycling pants many years back, those clips had not yet hit the market. I should get some; I have a few larger ones for quilting and a few small ones I use on cross stitch projects, but somehow it never occurred to me to use them in sewing clothing. Real "Duh!" moment here.

@delta8885 2 дня назад

I have a possibly weird question about the tankini. There’s ease at the hem, and I wonder what happens when these get wet - does the hem start floating, uh… up? The tankini that I’ve bought from Land’s End has a lining that you tuck into your swim bottoms, and I’ve found that that is really needed for when you’re actually swimming. Thanks so much for all the details and the modeling. You look great (also, at least in the camera view, you definitely don’t look naked).

@carolinedelisle589 2 дня назад

I like the idea of the lining being tucked in to your bottoms. I thought about putting an elastic at the bottom of the tankini to avoid it moving up. That's what I do with the rashguards that I swim laps in the outdoor pool with.

@delta8885 2 дня назад

@@carolinedelisle589 In my store bought tankini, the lining has the elastic, but not the tankini itself. The elastic has to be measured for an upper hip girth, NOT waist though, or it will try and creep up to the waist. It’s not as simple as I thought.

@TomKatStitchery 13 часов назад

That's such an interesting design detail! I haven't had this tankini in the water yet so I can't say for sure, but I can let you know. I hope to take it swimming this weekend!

@susanbhatt3128 2 дня назад

I have an adult daughter with a developmental challenge, and the swim dress would be perfect for her to wear to the splash pad!,

@TomKatStitchery День назад

Yes! And you can get all kinds of great prints!

@ftortorici 2 дня назад

I watched the sew along on the Loring yesterday. Were you wearing a short version in today's video? I love the fabric. Great job on all the swim pieces too. Now to find some swim fabric of my dreams.

@TomKatStitchery День назад

I was wearing McCall's 8090 . I had to scroll way back through the video catalog to find when I made it--Here's a link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AJQ5XdoTMYw.htmlsi=HRdCbmWUWe_2EHov You know it's a good one when it's lasted in my closet this long!!

@Romy868 День назад

Would you consider doing a sew along for this pattern? Very interested in the bra portion with power mesh.

@TomKatStitchery 13 часов назад

I would have to ask. Sometimes Love Notions puts out their own classes on sewing their patterns!

@jo-annekristensen8540 2 дня назад

Love your idea to interline the bra top in power mesh. Do you interline the whole bra or just thefront?

@TomKatStitchery 13 часов назад

I just interline the front. It works great!

@karenbensdon4643 2 дня назад

Are you wearing the sports bra without a regular bra under it? The support looks good.

@TomKatStitchery День назад

Thank you!

@debscott979 2 дня назад

Can you step in to tankini and pull up or do you have to put on from top?

@TomKatStitchery 13 часов назад

I put mine on from the top, but I think you could step into it as well as long as your hips are a similar size to your bust. You have some give/stretch if they are a bit bigger, though!

@karenbudnick 2 дня назад

Does the pattern tell you how to get the bra inserted into the top? I need more than power mesh.

@TomKatStitchery 13 часов назад

Yes. The pattern walks you through how to add the bra to the top/dress.

@cindyking3304 2 дня назад

Are they hard to get over your head and on in place??

@TomKatStitchery 13 часов назад

Not really. There is a bit more wiggling because of the elastic band in the bra, but it's still pretty easy.

@kathygann7632 2 дня назад

The shorts are too bright a color to look naked. Feel comfortable wearing them.. the whole collection is great.

@TomKatStitchery День назад

Thank you!!

@helenhamilton9473 5 часов назад

you look great in the tankini! But I can empathise with you as to how scary it is to be so bare on camera - so I congratulate you on being so brave. For us it makes a real difference to see clothes on you rather than a mannequin,
