I have a very similar floral knit dress and I've never been able to put my finger on exactly why I don't love it. It's super comfortable, but from the bust up, it's just blah. Now I know what I'm going to do with it!! I hate the short sleeves hitting at the bicep and the neckline is also too high. The striped dress before view screams "sexy prisoner Halloween costume" 😂

You are amazing. I thought the stripe t shirt was so cute when you got it done and the print t also. When you suggested the tiny little sleeve for the dress I thought yuck, buuuut, then you added the ruffle and I thought she should be a designer for recycling clothing. You have a mini collection. I am very much inspired! Thank you for sharing your gift. Love your show.

Thank you again so very much🤗❤️

Love all the upcycles. When your sleeve hits at the widest part of your bust, it just makes you appear wider or blockier. That's why you don't like it (no one does - lol) Cap or longer works best. A high neckline also does the same thing. I love your mixing of patterns and so impressed with your matching of the stripes on the first t-shirt! Was that a coincidence? Gave me so many ideas.
@CatherineSews
@CatherineSews 11 месяцев назад
That’s it! You’re 100% right about the sleeve! And the neckline! Thank you, I really couldn’t pinpoint why I hated the sleeves, but that makes total sense. And I wish I could say that I matched those stripes, but I just got lucky. I was just happy I could make the sleeve fit into that armhole!
@conniegreen4337

Love the changes in the reserse striped tee. You asked what was wrong with the original floral sleeve. I think they were too tight ( small). The floral top is incredible. Great style for you! The dress the stripe & floral looks good on you. Not that you were getting ready to go out, but I have a suggestion for the stripe/ floral dress. I think a pair of shoes more like a plain pump, or flats without any straps across your foot because it seems a little too busy. The strip/ floral was inspired. Thank you for all the great tips. I love way you did the floral tee neckline.

These are right up my street! Just remember that the length of stretch neckbands need to be calculated taking into account the stretch percentage of the fabric, the stretchier the fabric the shorter the band. If you’re following a pattern and it doesn’t state the stretch percentage in the fabric requirements section you’ll probably have to figure it out yourself by trial and error, even if it’s advertised when you buy your chosen fabric I’d still be careful I wouldn’t take it as read because that information isn’t necessarily reliable and some fabric has a mind of its own! The grey striped dress having stripes matching on one side but not the other would drive me nutskis 🤣

When sewing small, light weight fabric, start sewing on a scrap fabric, sew off the edge, don't cut your thread, then feed your light fabric, under the feed dogs and sew. Don't know if I explained this technique properly, but it always works for me..

Very ingenious, thank you for the patient explanations too. Now inspired to shorten a silk sleeveless shirtwaister, a charity shop bargain I think I've worn just a couple of times, (so not really a bargain yet) into a top I'll wear far more often, don't know why I never thought of it before? I would have put pink bias binding round the edges of the floral top, but now you've done it with invisible black it does look just right the way you've done it.

All sewing used o be done by hand in the past! If you have the patience, give it a try… you may surprise yourself! Also, occasionally you may find a sewing machine in a thrift store/charity shop. I’ve seen quite a few over the years. Phone round first to save on fuel, but you may be lucky. Same goes for overlockers/sergers.

I think the sleeves you weren't quite sure about were perhaps a bit binding where they sat on the arm. As a female with rather muscular arms, I find this to be a problem with many tops. I like my tops or dresses to hit either above or below the bicep,or have a little flair allowing a little room. Hope to hear what the issue was if you figure it out. As always, love the video! You always have some great ideas!

Just a thought, but I would have tried putting a v shaped insert or appliqe of the floral on the front neck just to make the sleeves look more intentional and marry up the toppart with the sleeves and frill. Or possibly do a floral neckdand instead of the grey one. I really do love your work though, you have inspired me to get a serger and so far I'm loving it! Thank you!
